Celtics in 4; 5 at the most.

4–2 Philadelphia I don’t see this soft Boston team being much trouble when it slows down in the playoffs.

Too shook to use your main account?

Philly could get hot. If the offense is basically Embiid shooting over somebody shorter plus 4 guys on the perimeter, there's plenty of potential for shots to fall. So the series could easily go 6 games.

There's no doubt coaches will be targeting our lack of size inside. Time Lord needs to be active and ready.

Getting Theis in foul trouble will be on the opposing team's defensive game plan.

A) Are the Celtics going to be coming of B2Bs with travel vs a rested Philly this series?

B) How many times are you gonna come back as a PbP?

Agreed, these guys aren’t on our level. And if they are, then we aren’t on Milwaukee or Toronto’s level. These guys serve as no more than a tune up to real basketball again. Embiid may steal a game on his own but otherwise, the Celtics have no business losing to this team

I wanna change my pick after some careful consideration.

Celtics in 3.

Thybulle is a good player. But the Sixers starting him over one of their shooters is a W for the Celts.

I REALLY want to get excited about this series. But this whole thing stiff feels fake. Just has not been the same

Disagree. There’s nothing like real fans and home court advantage but the games have been pretty damn good and aesthetically it’s been way better than I imagined. Defense across the bubble is down but overall great job by players and the nba

Am not pushing the 6ers aside. Simmons is a huge loss so i expect to win this series, but can't discount the length of that team. Size always gives the Cs trouble. And for some reason Tobias Harris seems to play w well against us

Cant discount the Sixers but if we win game 1 I believe Embiid will give up.

Oh I don't think it has anything to do with the effort or in game product. It's great to have basketball back. But I can't help but feel that even if we win the whole thing, it doesn't really count.

Is what it is I guess. I'll still watch all the games and enjoy the 6ers going down in flames....again.

WFT, Theis already has 3 fouls? This doesn't seem fair!

Joking aside, I hope we can win convincingly enough to really put it in Horfords face. Ya picked the wrong team bud! See ya in hell!

Time lord ain't ready, but sixers are softer than Butler version so are beatable.
