It’s a rough draw tonight on the second half of a back-to-back for the Sixers. After the Heat came to Philly and hit three-point shot after three-point shot in a 101-96 win, the Sixers are now tasked with heading to Brooklyn for a meeting with the top-seed Nets. Not great!
Here are my four observations ahead of this evening’s matchup:
- Are we headed for another pro sports shutdown due to COVID? The Bulls-Pistons game on Tuesday night was postponed. Chicago might have to start Benny the Bull at some point. It’s a big issue for the league when the reigning Finals MVP is missing time because he’s entered health and safety protocols.
