The Philadelphia 76ers have higher expectations than beating the Brooklyn Nets in their first-round Eastern Conference playoff series.
NEW YORK, NEW YORK - APRIL 09: Danuel House Jr. #25 of the Philadelphia 76ers passes the ball as Patty Mills #8 of the Brooklyn Nets defends during the second half at Barclays Center on April 09, 2023 in the Brooklyn borough of New York City.
Dr. J took note and during a speech last month at a ceremony honoring the 1983 team, he told a packed house that the championship players were there not just to be recognized, but to "challenge this year’s team to make it happen." The basketball Hall of Famer added: "Forty years is way too long." Though the 45-win Nets are expected to be nothing more than a speedbump for the Sixers, the second round will likely present a more pressing challenge should the Boston Celtics also advance.
Rivers insisted the Sixers are focused only on this season’s results and not how previous failures could affect the organization.
