Let's do this, Sixers vs Celtics, who's going to win?

All hinges on Embiid and Harden playing like they did during the regular season. Even if Embiid plays in game 1 or 2, and plays well, if Harden can't play like we know he can, series is done.

Hawks helped and got the Sixers a few extra days of rest.

I'm calling 76ers in 6. Easily could go 7 though. If Hawks can stretch this to 6, then the Sixers should be able to do it.

Oh and Maxey needs to be a positive.

This is the matchup I've been waiting for. I don't trust Harden at all. He didn't play great overall against the worst playoff team in Brooklyn, so I'm not expecting anything better from him against Boston.

Yeah, if he continues to play like ****, it's over.

Boston in 6

Daddy vs Son.

Celtics in 6.

Big favorites to win this series.

I like the Celtics in 5.

They matchup well with the Sixers.

That 1st rd series from the Cs doesn't inspire confidence. Celtics in 7

Sixers in 6.

Whoever wins this, might pretty much win it all.

I'll just say this. The Sixers have been disrespected and disregarded on this board all year. If the Celtics take the Sixers as lightly as this board takes the Sixers, they will lose.

That said, I don't think they will. I think either team can win, but slight edge to Boston just for having more playoff experience together.

PHI = +260
BOS = -320

A battle of the two worst coaches in the NBA. With a great but gimpy Embiid and beer belly Harden, no doubt the Celtics will win the series though. But it wouldn't surprise if it went 7 or 4. The Celtics have multiple personality disorder.

Celtics in 6. Will have more focus this series.

Boston probably been waiting for this matchup. As shown they've played them twice in previous playoffs. I don't see them taking this lightly at all.

This goes beyond basketball for me. Celtics in 6. California style pizza........shudder.

Embiid/Harden vs Smart/Grant Williams
