I really hope we get a good Embiid showing and Simmons carries his great play into the month of February.

Logically, this should be an easy win as they are short handed and the Sixers own this team anyway but its never that easy. Sixers gonna Sixer.

Sixers suck on the road. I wouldn’t be surprise if they lose again on the road even with walker and theis out. I don’t think walker has played well against Sixers this season. Thybulle length has really bothered Kemba

Celtics have no one to matchup Embiid. But Embiid has been a lot less physical in the two games he’s been back. He’s still bothered by the ligament surgery. Just look at the way he tapping it at the free throw line. And he’s missed a ton of free throws.

Almost better to let Embiid rest and let Ben run wild. Cause small teams are starting to all do the fake double team on Embiid in the low post daring Sixers to throw it in especially with ben on the court.

Key is more space with Horford out of the starting lineup.

Also think they should just take turns. 2-3 possessions for Jo, 2-3 possessions for Ben.

Horford is available tonight. I'd prefer for us to rest Embiid for Miami and Milwaukee and let the Ben Simmons show go on.

They would literally need to lock Embiid out the arena to not play in this game.

I predict the Celtics play Tacko Fall tonight and Embiid picks up some dumb offensive foul trying to dunk him out of the league. Then he dunks him out of the league.

Let's see how the Shake Maestro follows up his excellent showing the other night.

Wanna see how Zhaire plays too.

And as always *raises both hands in a chorus* --- phuck the Celtics, tonight, tomorrow and into eternity.

Brown should have been an allstar so he's going to make a statement about it tonight.

Joel is incapable of spinning over his left shoulder without losing the ball. He's like Derek Zoolander except can't turn right.

Please stop playing these three big lineups. Offense is such trash.
jonjames is a signature bet welcher.

It's actually super great that Tatum gets to haunt us for his entire career. At least the guy we actually picked panned out.

Starting to like Harris less and less. He’s a 15 mil a year role player we paid max $
