This year's Sixers are one of the most over-hyped teams I can ever remember. Went on a big winning streak to end the year over mostly garbage teams, then beat a Miami team filled with G-Leaguers and no offense, and everyone wants to crown them.

Cause you clearly don't have an extreme bias in evaluating this series. Lol

No I don’t have bias. You are overrating a young Philly team. 6 or 7 game series.

Philly has two top 20 players. Celtics don't even have one.

They were lucky to be matched up with a completely incompetent coach in Round 1.

The Heat probably beat the Celtics if they matched up.

And if anyone is young its the Celtics lol. Your two best offensive players are 21 and 19.

If Brown comes back, us in 6. Otherwise it's a bit too much to overcome.
Good assessment:

He doesn't need to. He was cleared to play half-way thru the 4th. They sat him because they didn't need him.

I don't have any hate for the Celtics. In fact, I just said that I wouldn't trade either Brown or Tatum for Kawhi.

Based on the fact, that the Celtics are not a good team without Kyrie/Hayward. The Bucks were just a dumpster fire. And still they barely beat them.

If they had Kyrie, I'd probably pick them in this series.

Heat lacked offense BIG TIME, I mean big time. They would've scored 80 a game against us. On the other hand Middleton was a superstar and so was Giannis. It's not even close, regardless of coach, bla bla bla. Middleton made every big shot there was to make and averaged absurd stats, so did Giannis.

No its not lol.

In fact, Bill Simmons on his podcast has been arguing that they're both top 15 players.
