Another team that might surprise a lot of Celtic fans here is the Sixers.
Sixers have become slower with Horford.
And losing Redick and Jim Butler means the Sixer offense will be unbalanced.
I actually think the Sixers will be fine, they have 5-6 nice top end pieces instead of 2-3 on the Lakers.
Sixers would've been fine if they didn't add Horford.
Unless the Sixers bench Horford, every time Horford is in the game the Sixers will be slow.
In preseason, you can already see the improved offensive rebounding of the Celts after Horford left.
It's not about the other pieces the Sixers have now, it's about the pieces they lost.
Jimmy Butler was a scorer, a go to guy in the clutch.
Redick made sure Embiid was not going to be doubled every time.
Both Sixers and Lakers just don't have the right mix of players.
