The Miami Heat are getting set to head into their second-round NBA Playoff series against the Philadelphia 76ers. After a six-game series with the Toronto Raptors, they were finally able to close things out on Thursday.
With that though, you must now begin to look at how they will match up with the Miami Heat.
While the easiest thing to do is to look at the star players, how Jimmy Butler might match up with James Harden or how Bam Adebayo might match up with Joel Embiid, there is a deeper level of thought that might come to mind.
When you look at both of these teams and how they have gotten it done at their peaks this year, you look at the two electric guards out of Kentucky.
You have the Miami Heat’s in Tyler Herro, of course, while the Philadelphia 76ers boast the services of one Tyrese Maxey.
They might be two of the most important guys in the entire series. They may be the X-Factors in the whole thing.
