Philly goes up 3-1 but loses the next 3 in blow outs. Doc Rivers and Embiid blame first Ben Simmons then change to blaming Harden. Celtics go on to defeat the Knicks and the Suns to win their 18th NBA championship.

I hope Joel is good to go. I'd like to beat them at their best so we don't end up with a full year of people saying we got lucky like with the Middleton thing from last playoffs.

Glad we got the weekend off and I'm very excited for this series! Go C's!

Every champion got lucky in one way or another. Winning it all requires luck. I couldn't care less how we win banner 18. I just wanna win it. I've been waiting for over a decade.

Going from a speedy team like the Hawks to 2 team with 2 fat losers will be a better matchup for the Celtics

C’s in 5. Win the first two at home, split in Philly and close it out. We own these fraud chumps. And they know it too

Cs in 6. For some reason, they like the road.
I confess, I'm tired of Doc crying on the sidelines, win or lose, for the full 48 minutes of every game. Thank you for 2008, but it's time to hang 'em up. Your vocal cords will thank you.

Call me mad but I got us in 5 --- even if we split the first two games. Philly is a good matchup for us on paper, and their coach is probably the only one standing in playoffs who's not better than Mazz. This will probably be over at worst in 6.

BRING EM.

This is going 7 games. It took us 6 to beat the stinky Hawks....also not to be a conspiracy theorist, but THIS is the big NBA money series everyone wants to see.

Tatum WRECKED Tucker in the ECF last year, 43 points on a 65% TS in 40 minutes of matchup time. They may try Tucker on him to start, but I bet you’ll see a lot of Melton on him over the course of the series. If Tatum is hitting from deep like most of the Hawks series, Melton will have no chance either.

I’d think they will put Harden on Smart to protect him, and then decide between Tucker or Harris to defend Jaylen? Either way, Jaylen should be able to get past them pretty easily.

If we take the 1st two games, then this should be over in 5. If they take 1 of first two, then this goes to 6, or possibly 7.

I am no longer interested in Predictions. Just win.. I feel we are the better team and matchup well. Doc River is not a coach I fear as well.

Will be the most "annoying" Series of the playoffs with Embiid and Harden flopping their way to points..
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

The Sixers start 3 huntable players, but Harden is the most easily breakable.

I say this, but damn does this last series still leave a bad taste.
