Tough to beat the 2019 Raptors series in terms of significance, but this is important.

For me this is the most important series, not 2019. Its very likely going to be our best shot for a championship with Biid.

We win this series if we can abuse Horford. Put him in PnR constantly & either Embiid or Harden need to cook him. Celtics big weakness is their front line & we have the ability to exploit it.

There is one huge issue we have regarding "defense wins championships". We are playing with a Harden-Maxey backcourt against a team that can exploit it at will. Actually that's our number 1 concern against Celtics.

If Embiid isn't as close to 100% as he'll get, I'd rather him sit out game one. 60-70% of Embiid doesn't do us a whole lot of good, and if the extra rest means 80-85%, I'd rather that for six games.

I’m sure Embiid plays game 1. Badly. And we lose.

True.

The script is as follows:
Embiid is an amazing warrior so he will defy all the odds and play in Game 1 injured, he will give it all on the floor.
Of course, you already know how it ends.

I think that the doctor that Neubeck interviewed said this as well, they should rest Embiid at least for the first game and get him to 90%, instead of risking to seriously aggravate the injury. He mentioned that this is a minor injury, but if it's aggravated it can be nasty.

Why not wear two knee braces all the time?

I don't think he's playing in game 1. How awesome would it be to steal game one from them without him? I know it's highly unlikely, but a fan can dream.

Looking forward to the Harrell post ups in Game 1.

1 loss is to important in a series like this where Philidelphia has had so much trouble with Boston. Embid not being available in the playoffs is a problem for a team with him as the featured player.

Did you get this nugget of info from Reggie Miller? The rest of us hadn't even thought about this!

Draymond suspended = win
Dejounte suspended = win
Embiid didnt play in G4 = win

Vegas is with you if you dont play
