Looking at the matchup its essentially Brooklyn defense against 76er two men offense of James harden and Joel Embid with some contributions from Tyrese maxey and Tobias Harris.
In the last matchup Brooklyn played some very agressive defense which caused the 76er to mostly rely on Joel and harden to carry the offense.
If Brooklyn can double team Joel to get the ball out of his hands more and put pressure on his other teammates to score that can throw them off balance and allow Brooklyn to increase their pace on offense.
More importantly Brooklyn should not be hesitant to go after players like James harden and Tyrese maxey who aren't prime defenders and must take advantage with their core when Joel is on the bench….
Most importantly just try to wear down the 76er down with Brooklyn tough defense 🔥….

Two Guards and three Forwards will start Game 1 for us. Twp Forwards, one Guard, and a backup Center, plus a possible second Guard and Forward…
Guard/Guard
Guard/ (guard)
Forward/ Forward/ Forward
Forward/ (forward)
Center
This is NOT the recipe for success against the 76ers
I LOL'ed when you said "weakness for this team for past DECADE has been size." Man that is so true. We really haven't had size since the Brook Lopez era.

GREAT question!
Our 13th ranked defense since the All-Star break must somehow limit the 3rd ranked offense. How? By abandoning the strategy that causes us to be 26th place in rebounding.
Anything else? Yeah! Stay home on their perimeter players. This will limit their #1 ranked 3pt%.
Got one more. Yes! Get Joel Embiid into foul trouble by attacking the basket. This requires refraining from taking the first partially open 3pt shot and working the offense.
It's not plausible, but it's possible to win. That's all we need
Good points adam. Rebounding and limit our fouls will be key & of course our 3 ball as well. Go Brooklyn! #netsworld
