The NBA Playoffs kick off on Saturday afternoon as the Brooklyn Nets head to Philadelphia to take on the 76ers.
The presumptive NBA MVP, Joel Embiid, will be a lot — and I mean A LOT — to handle for these Nets, but what Brooklyn has going for them is the house-money affect. Meaning, no one anticipates they’ll win the series, so they can go out there and play like a team that has nothing to lose.
That can be dangerous, right?
Still, the numbers are stacked against the Nets.
