> Doc Rivers said the Sixers are all “pretty healthy” heading into Game 1 vs. the Nets, that this week has been helpful for James Harden.
.
> From Doc Rivers today:
> -Sixers have worked on PJ Tucker at center units this week, continue to be optimistic about those.
>-Team likes switch-everything coverage w/Embiid that worked well late on Feb. 11, but of course won’t have Embiid chasing around guards for entire games.

> Entering a first-round series against his former team, James Harden was asked about his exit from Brooklyn a year ago. His full answer is below.

If well prepared, no one on this team should need 40 minutes in a single game vs Nets.
he better not have to play 40+ minutes against brooklyn
In all honestly, I had a feeling everyone would be as close as they could be to 100% as the playoffs starter as we had the week long break and we started resting the main guys. I think it’s all about staying healthy that makes me nervous.
If we play like we can, Embiid and Harden should be able to get some rest in the 4th
30 point triple double revenge game coming
ready for injuries to be brought up in the second round
This is exactly what I wanted to hear
This is good news, of course being prepared to play 40 and playing 40 are two different things.
We don’t need him to play 40 for this series, keep em healthy for round 2. Don’t run em into the ground against the nets.
