Philadelphia’s size is going to be big for them moving forward
This series between the 76ers and the Wizards seems over at this point with Philadelphia up 3-0, but moving forward, the biggest thing the Sixers can take away from this series is that their size is a problem for everybody they play.
The 76ers were not the best team during the regular season in the Eastern Conference by accident. They are one of the biggest teams in the league with Ben Simmons at point guard and with Joel Embiid being a force inside and in the low-post, not many teams are able to guard them.

Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid have been great in this series, but so has Tobias Harris, who has been doing almost all of his damage against the Wizards in the paint. Harris has shot 32-56 in this series, with 24 of his 32 made shots coming inside the paint.
Tobias Harris has scored 48 points in the paint in this series and has been a huge reason why Philadelphia is as dominant as they are. They are strong, they are tall and they attack the rim on offense, which is why the Philadelphia 76ers are still the team to beat in the Eastern Conference.
In their next round series against either the Knicks or Hawks, they are going to continue using their size to their advantage and this could be the biggest advantage for them in these playoffs.
