For all the pessimism deservedly making rounds on social media, the Philadelphia 76ers still have a fair shot to make their series with the Toronto Raptors competitive. Assuming Kawhi Leonard and Pascal Siakam don’t go supernova every night, some adjustments would put the Sixers in a better spot.
No player needs to adjust more than Jimmy Butler, who was emphatically bad in Game 1. He nabbed just 10 points on 4-12 shooting, all while playing substandard defense on both Leonard and Siakam — who dusted him like Thanos at every opportunity.
