If it isn’t broke, don’t fix it.
That’s the philosophy coach Brett Brown is trying to follow as he prepares for the 76ers’ first-round playoff series against the Miami Heat.
The Sixers are riding the wave of a 16-game win streak into Saturday night’s playoff game at the Wells Fargo Center. They closed out the 82-game regular-season schedule with the third-best defense in the NBA, and everything seems to be clicking. So, instead of trying to reinvent how the Sixers play, Brown said he intends to keep things simple.
“I don’t want to overthink this, I don’t want my players to overthink it,” Brown said Thursday.
