Playoff atmosphere much? Big game fever!
With Thursday’s game between the Nets and Sixers getting closer, the intensity is getting higher. While everyone involved, at least on the Brooklyn side, claims it’s just another game, everyone also knows it isn’t. The Nets and Sixers already had a history of bad blood before the trade deadline blockbuster with superstars waving each other off their respective courts. Now, even though Ben Simmons will be on the bench and not the court in Philadelphia Thursday, it will be Kevin Durant vs. Joel Embiid, Kyrie Irving vs. James Harden.
And the gamesmanship has begun.
