Meek Mill died and was resurrected for this.

Hopefully Boston advances.

Philly vs Boston would be lit

Philly got this in 6.

Hope they come out of the East.

Boston is going to be a pain for Philly but like their chances. Tatum and Brown are going to try and go at JJ all series. Covington has to be better than he was against the Heat.

Against the Bucks just shoot the 3 ball at least decent and should be able to take series

Right now, Philly has 2 of the top 10 players left in the playoffs. Milwaukee has 1 and Boston has zero.

I expect them to at this point. They've been playing like the best team in the east for a while now, and that was with Embiid out. With him in he has a Gobert like impact on defense.

If its Boston, Embiid will feast on the Celtics.

They don't really have anyone to guard him.

There is also no one in Milwaukee that can guard Embiid.

Embiid is going to break Thon into two by accident.

Awesome. I trusted the process.

Sixers going to the ECF!

No one on the East can.

Horford probably guarded Embiid in the regular season better than anybody else in the East did, but I agree. Once the mask comes off soon Joel will be eating down low.

He's currently fine down low. The mask hinders his shot. The midrange has been held in check and his ball handling (peripheral vision) is off and it seems to be the mask.

Baynes did surprisingly well too.

Best of luck to both Boston and Milwaukee. Looking forward to either matchup.

Baynes' physicality worked pretty well in the first matchup back in October, but I think Ilyasova's presence will force Baynes to the bench. Sixers have a lot of bench options and if the Celtics advance to play them next round they just won't have the personnel to counter it.
