The 76ers’ opponents for the first round of the playoffs have not yet been determined, but the NBA has already ruled on the timetable for the first round. This is good news: Philadelphia will get plenty of rest between the two games to start the playoffs, and this quirk can help them soar further.

As the 76ers wait to see if they attract Indiana or Washington, this is the pinnacle of the schedule as we know it now (home games in bold):

1. May 23, Sunday-1:00 pm (TNT)
2. May 26, Wednesday-7:00 pm (NBATV)
3. Saturday, May 29-To be determined (ESPN)
4. Monday, May 31-TBD (TNT)
5. Wednesday, June 2-To be determined, to be determined
6. Friday, June 4-To be determined
7. Sunday, June 6-To be determined

Understandably, there are still many unresolved things, because the 76ers are waiting for their opponents. Based on what we know so far, two things stand out: the rest is integrated into this series, and the unfortunate experience of the 76ers is that their game was hit on NBATV.

The significance of the schedule is even more important. It should allow the 76ers to relax slightly after the regular season approaches the regular season to enter the playoffs and thus easily enter the playoffs. In the first three games with a day off each, Philadelphia will increase the playing time of the main players without causing them to suffer abnormal injuries.

Seeking a break is the point of a long conversation, and Doc Rivers downplays it to Philadelphia’s advantage. For example, the head coach even suggested that their sports science team believe that it would be better to increase the final number of minutes, allowing people to maintain a regular rotation and gradually increase, instead of spending a day’s rest here and there. Recovery from injury is another matter, but the Sixers have maintained the enthusiasm of many of their best players, even if they have room to rest.

On the other hand, winning the terrible NBATV seat reflects a series of tedious series that are expected to appear before them. Aside from the long-running dispute between Embiid and Russell Westbrook, the meeting with Indiana or Washington was not very angry. The Sixers-Celtics series may result in prime-time billing, but it is not surprising that they were hit by the league’s channels (even if it was just a game) without attracting attention.

Maybe in the end this is the best for this group of people. This may be just a game, but the quick and easy series in which the 76ers handle business and move on to the next round may be in stark contrast to the results of the Bucks Heat. As the forwards of the conference, they are in a rare position and they can still move at least partially under the radar.

I can tell you one thing for sure-I hope the Wells Fargo Center will waver on Sunday, and with the arrival of the playoffs, the crowd limit will swell to 50%. Their home field has always been the fortress of this year’s game, just like last year’s game was more chaotic, the cable car that the Philadelphia crowd can provide is popular with players and coaches throughout the year, even if it is only a small part. Stubborn people can come in.

Hope to see many of you in the race, shake the Sixers flag in your car or on social media, or show off a nice cold drink to laugh at me when I go to work. However, you choose to deal with the news, just look around, and remember to taste the news in the ongoing season, because in Philly, such vintages do not often appear in front of people. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . …. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .?”…………………….. …………….
