You compare this series with the Miami-Atlanta series. Both game one blowouts. But, good as Miami's defense always is, there is no way Trae Young is going to shoot 1/12 (0/7) again. NO WAY! And good as he was it almost is not humanly possible to shoot as well as Duncan Robinson did in game one (9/10 (8/9)). You could see those shooting numbers reversed, easily, and so you can see Atlanta winning the next game and maybe taking two (Beyond a reasonable doubt I do not believe Atlanta is going to win four of the next six and the series.).

But in Philadelphia-Toronto, unless their plane crashes on the way up I see to a standard of clear and convincing a Philly broom job. There's one less horrific caveat: Doc Rivers again is playing his stars with the game settled. He has ridden Harden and Maxey for 33' and Embiid for 31. That's hard riding. If one of them gets hurt...Look at Dallas. Luka Doncic missed game one with a strained calf and Utah corralled the "Mavericks" 99-93. Doncic is not playing tonight either. The "Jazz" lead 55-48 at halftime. Other than an injury to one of Phil's stars I honestly don't see how Toronto is going to win even one game.
