Coming into Game 3, the Philadelphia 76ers needed a hero, since it was said that Joel Embiid would be out. Had he played, this game was always going to be tough. Since the Brooklyn Nets came in and stole the first game, home court advantage has belonged to them.
The Philadelphia 76ers have one of the NBA’s most-stacked rosters. In addition to their core of JJ Redick, Joel Embiid, and Ben Simmons, they also added Jimmy Butler and Tobias Harris. While this didn’t translate into regular season wins, it was supposed to guarantee a playoff run.
However, Game 1 showed the flaws in that plan, as Jimmy Butler was the only one who showed up to win. Tonight, Tobias Harris has made it his mission to go up 2-1. For his efforts, he has made six three-pointers, missing none, and Twitter is giving him all the props, right now.
