This series isn't over but I just have a hard time believing after the effort put into a pivotal game 5 at home that the Celtics will win game 6 in a very hostile environment. The 76ers control most of that game.

Can't see Boston winning this. Philly has the more experienced coach and players and it's showing.

For everyone who thinks Danny Green has any hard feeling towards Joel Embiid.

Multiple reasons to think PHI will win it, but their coach isn't one of them

Have to give Philly credit. Tobias Harris and PJ Tucker have been leading them these last few games with tremendous toughness. They're just taking advantage of how soft Boston is and exposing them for trading their defensive edge edge for volume three-point shooting...

If Boston loses this series they basically have to blow it up.

Why? They're pretty young with all their future picks after this one with them (one swap owed to SAS)...

What did you see in Game 5 that informs this opinion? Their defense on Maxey? Defending the pick and roll? The play of players not names Tatum or Brown?

Just curious.

The irony of complaining about Embiid’s flopping in a series in which Marcus Smart is also participating is incredibly rich.

You DO see this - right?

Embiids flailing is over the top. Marcus Smart doesnt flail nearly as frequently

The difference is when Embiid flops, it is after contact from the defensive player. Half the time when Smart flops, it is from a stiff breeze.

There is a difference.

as if we havent seen Embiid flail hit the floor a dozen times in a single game

I do not dispute that Embiid goes down a lot. However, there is a difference between Embiid going down with contact - incidental or not - and Smart flopping at the HINT of contact.

You do know this - right?

The difference between Embiid and Jokic on this list is laughable.

Your childish obsession with Jokic is the actual laughable part.

Who wins?
