The Philadelphia 76ers are not only the worst team in the Atlantic Division, but also quite possibly the entire league. Evan Turner and Thaddeus Young are the two best players on the 76ers’ roster, but neither would start if they were on the Warriors.
From starting point guard to backup center, the 76ers are thoroughly outclassed at every position. The discrepancy in point guard talent is the greatest; though Michael Carter-Williams has yet to play a single game, it’s not by any stretch of the imagination to assume that Stephen Curry will light him up from beyond the arc.
The Warriors will have their way with the 76ers, leading to two blowout wins.
2-0 Golden State Warriors
