Stop messing with the basketball Gods.
This goes to show you how dumb and dumber some organizations and coaching staffs are.
Why the hell would you try to avoid the 1-Big 76ers if you're MIL and CLE, knowing your team is bigger and has more size/length than Philly's.
Brunson and Maxey pretty much neutralized each other. But how did NYK outlast PHI? They had two big, defensive minded bodies in Hartenstein and Mitchell Robinson to throw at Embiid for a full 48, which was just enough to make things more difficult on Embiid, causing Joel to have a subpar impact to winning. Add little Big Man Josh Hart and his crashing the boards and bringing a physical presence that Buddy Hield couldnt match, Philly had little chance
Heck NYK didn't even need their starting PF Julius Randle cause they already had enough size and length to deal with Joel and his team full of Smurfs
