haha love Al! You know he is gonna be fired up to go against Embiid and take down one of his former teams - the team he went to after Boston where things didn't really work out so good.

Al will be locked in for sure.

But I am also extremely concerned with Boston and staying out of foul trouble.. Between Embiid inside and James harden going strong and no defense inside it may end up being a long frustrating night..

Sixers are favored and it's a Celtic home game. That's a great opportunity for one of the teams to make a season opening salvo. Even greater opportunity for Mazzulla to show he's ready for this season's campaign. Imo Celtics veterans, and retooled bench, up to the challenge and pull away late.

Are the Sixers favored? The couple of sites I've looked at have the Celtics as favorites. I was just curious. I've never bet online.

According to Google yesterday they were. I guess it could be an aggregate. Yeah Sixers +140. I don't bet online either but I looked it up the game before posting.

I don't usually like alternate uniforms either, but these are pretty sweet.

Hoping for a win because the Celtics schedule for the next 10 games is generally pretty tough. Heat twice, bulls twice, cavs twice.

One game at a time.

Those are actually clean. Shame I can’t help but feel Milwaukee Bucks when I see them though.

They are but the problem is the Celtics have to deal with DeRozan who everyone knows is like an 85% shooter whenever he plays Boston.

Celtics are -2.5 favorites on most major sports books.

Nice Unis....but I didn't know that Bill Russell played with The Bucks....Those are Bucks Colors.

Game feels very 30 point winnish to me.

Couldn’t be more excited about the season and about this team. The ime **** killed it for a couple weeks but back to being juiced.

Could care less about the loss of Ime. I doubt they do either.

Jacked for the next season, tomorrow can’t come soon enough. We’re about to enter Jaylen Brown’s massive breakout season.

Kornet didn't make opening night roster. 15th spot open.

Where's his Appreciation thread?

Looks like Sixers are whole for this game. Cs missing Gallo and Rob.

Last time we met, Cs spanked Sixers and beat them by almost 50 pts. They've added Harden, Melton, Tucker, House, and Harrell since. Lost DGreen, Curry, Joe, Millsap, and Simmons.

If they really want to honor Russell, they should make those shorts nut huggers.
