Sixers' JJ Redick thinks lack of playoff experience is an advantage

In regards to postseason play, the 76ers are one of the least-experienced teams in the playoffs.

One would think that’s a huge disadvantage heading into their opening-round best-of-seven series with the Miami Heat.

Not JJ Redick.

The shooting guard, in his 12th season and just as many playoffs, and other veterans with postseason experience have chatted some with the team about the difference between regular-season and postseason basketball. The Sixers even had a team dinner Thursday night as a way to bond in advance of Game 1 on Saturday night at the Wells Fargo Center.

“But you don’t really know until you experience it,” Redick said Friday after practice.
