Now is the time for Doc Rivers to iron out the end of his rotation

With all due respect to the Brooklyn Nets, who have a lot of great young talent and have played hard through the first two games of this first-round series, they are not a team equipped to compete in these current playoffs.

They traded away two of the greatest on-ball creators of this generation and were understandably unable to fill that vacuum offensively. They have no answer for Joel Embiid in one-on-one defensive situations (few teams do!), and have to turn to a gimmicky, ultra-aggressive doubling scheme that relies on all non-Embiid Sixers missing wide-open shots.
