Daily News | Mailbag: Are the Sixers built to beat the Celtics or Bucks in the playoffs?
Can the Sixers beat the Boston Celtics, Milwaukee Bucks, and Miami Heat in the playoffs? If so, how? What is your playoff starting lineup and which bench players would get playing time? — @PhillySportsWebThanks for your great questions, Quentin. As you know, it’s still early. So the Sixers have time to improve and make alterations to the roster.
In regards to the Celtics, the Sixers just don’t have any answers for the All-Star wing tandem of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. Al Horford traditionally does a great job defending Joel Embiid while Marcus Smart is a lockdown defender, who will make things hard for Maxey or Harden. And Malcolm Brogdon will take advantage of the mismatches.
The Sixers have split this season’s first two games with Milwaukee. But like the Celtics, the Bucks are just too deep for them to beat in a seven-game series.
