This is a fun series to watch.  I like the way both teams play.  Both teams are kind of flawed, and both have great story lines.

Philly - May have the best player in the NBA in Embiid, but with his fragile body, he has a small window to win a title.  Harris is one of the best "good, not great" players in the NBA.  Seth Curry, younger brother of a superstar who has been a role player his whole career, is having a monster playoffs.  And Ben Simmons, a very flawed superstar wannabe that has a chance to quarterback a team to a title.  And the bench has some talent, especially over the hill former stars Dwight Howard and George Hill.

Atlanta - cocky rising star in Trae Young who is trying to be the next villain in the NBA.  Great complementary pieces assembled in the offseason, including Bogdanovic and Galinari.  Some solid homegrown players like Collins, Huerter and Hunter.  There is a "not ready for prime time" vibe with this team, but they are dangerous.

Philly is going to win if Embiid stays healthy, but this series is likely going at least 6 games.
