Odds Trust the Process, Philadelphia 76ers favored to NBA Finals

The Philadelphia 76ers left the city of Philadelphia in a precarious spot. Tied at 1-1 but with all the momentum in the hands of their playoff-veteran opponent the Miami Heat. It was a true test of the team’s fortitude, passion, and resolve. After all, this was a team playing in the postseason for the first time under head coach Brett Brown. This was a team led by rookie point guard Ben Simmons, and without star center Joel Embiid. And they had been outplayed by a Miami Heat team who wanted not only to win, but to disrespect the 76ers.
