On paper, there is no doubt that the Philadelphia 76ers have one of the deepest rosters in the league right now. Along with All-Stars Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid, they have an efficient two-way forward in Tobias Harris and a defensive stud in Jimmy Butler. The four Sixers standouts are also surrounded by role players who perfectly fit the team's system.
Butler, who was acquired by the Sixers from the Minnesota Timberwolves late last year, believes the team has what it takes to make some noise in the playoffs. And in a recent interview with Michael Lee of The Athletic, the former All-Star believes Philly can win it all this season.
“We can do something special. We talk about it every single day. Everything we do, we’re locked in, focused. We know what we can do. We know what paper says we can do. We know what people expect us to do. Name it. We got to be the ones to go out there and do it. And the crazy thing is, I know that we’re capable of doing it.”
The Sixers are the third best team in the Eastern Conference right now, and they have a strong wave of momentum heading into the postseason. This early, people are already raving about the idea of seeing a Conference Finals match-up between them and the league-leading Milwaukee Bucks.
Philadelphia is well-equipped to make a deep run in the playoffs. The question now is, will they be able to live up to the expectations?
Jimmy Butler is confident they can.
