Ahead of Game 1 Saturday, much was made about the Sixers’ two superstars.
How would Joel Embiid fare against a team that’s given him problems in the past?
How would James Harden’s hamstring hold up and how will he deal with the “pressure” this postseason?
Perhaps more time should’ve been spent paying attention to the gas and dust accumulating to form the Sixers’ third superstar.
Tyrese Maxey’s star turn continued Saturday night with a 38-point performance in a convincing Game 1 victory over the Raptors. The 21-year-old’s 21-point third quarter thwarted any thought of a Toronto comeback and was a nice coming out party to those unfamiliar with the Kentucky product.
