Months ago when Adam Silver and his friends penciled in today’s matchup between the Brooklyn Nets and Philadelphia 76ers to cap off the regular season, they likely envisioned Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, Joel Embiid, and James Harden duking it out for a top seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs.
For a multitude of reasons, which I won’t bore you with, that did not happen. Instead, they got Mac McClung and Cam Thomas battling it out with a side of Dewayne Dedmon and David Duke Jr. While it’s certainly fair to call that a downgrade, Brooklyn and Philly’s bench mobs made game No.
