What's up scorum nation! I am here again for another exciting topic of ***NBA EXPRESS*** and this is goin' to be my 5th article here on ***scorum***. In the history of sports most of the times the team who were usually star-studded are the favored to win the title and probably have bigger fan base than most.And with that lets go to the other side of the country to tackle the best team in Eastern conference and we're gonna call them the "BEAST in the EAST".
Just by merely looking at the image at the top you it is really hard to imagine anyone can matchup to that monstrous line up especially in the weaker east coast. You have Ben Simmons at point guard position towering over every point guards forget about just the east but in the NBA as a whole.
Notable Key Losses : Jimmy Butler and JJ Redick
The most notable key losses for the 76ers are Jimmy Butler and JJ Redick, who were both pretty solid during their playoff run this year. Jimmy Buckets just by his monicker tells you all the story behind that nickname, he is my favorite player in the 76ers uniform because he brings everything to the table in both ends of the floor, when their most reliable shooter in Tobias Harris couldn't buy a bucket Jimmy bailed the team out with his ability to produce in crunch time.
The Philly would surely miss JJ Redick, he helped the team spread the floor more for much wider driving lanes and one of the key factor why Ben Simmons could still be himself and doesn't care about throwing from the perimeter although Simmons needs to at least try this season or he will stay the same but that's for another discussion.
JJ is their most reliable knock down shooter and I hate that they let them go as I want him to be Ben Simmons shooting coach until he retires as a 76ers. I think you will agree to my opinion that JJ probably can fit to any team you drop him off.
Notable Key Additions : Al Horford and Josh Richardson
This is the reason why the 76ers will be the beast in the east because of the addition of two hardnose players in Al Horford and Josh Richardson. Al Horford is the type of guy that can adjust to any environment he is like a chameleon in my opinion he can blend with the rest easily. He is not in his prime anymore but he could still play as a stretch four where he can fill the weakness of Ben Simmons.
Josh Richardson consistently improving as a legit NBA starter and also work hard on both ends of the court. He is not one of the best shooters in the league but he is a reliable one if you could check he is a career 37% three point shooter, which is pretty much still above league average.
