Do we finally get to see an Embiid/Reed lineup?

I would love a double big lineup from them. get the wings and guards that keep beating us off the dribble off the court. I'm not fully reading that from that tweet though.

If that happens I'd get my first shred of respect for Glenn.

2019 sucked in the moment because of how etherous that shot felt...but it wasn't that bad in retrospec (not running that team back.....was lol)

2021 hurt tho...because of how it happened and it felt like the end

lets no add this year to the list....

dear god.

I'll be at the game this evening

I'm confident but a lil scared if that makes sense

I can't be the only one on here feeling like this

Celtics moving Williams into the starting lineup I'm guessing for defensive purposes and going with double bigs.

Apparently Pritchard is expected to see some minutes to "push the pace and fix some shooting struggles"

Robert to the starting lineup.

Harden needs to punish him on switches, and we need to make our 3’s. Joel needs to hit his pull up jumper on Robert.

Let’s go. Do or die.

Be loud!

Our fans need to get and stay loud for the full 48 minutes. Even if by chance we are down double digits in the third quarter.

Credit to Boston's fans, they would get rowdy during Game 5 whenever they'd hit a 3 to bring the deficit closer to 10 than 20.

Rob Al line-ups
-12 NetRtg reg season vs Sixers
-27.9 NetRtg playoffs

Can hurt their spacing. Does not matter much on defense if Biid is knocking his jumper or we force switch.

We prepared for this the entire offseason. This is not 2018 Sixers with post heavy Embiid.

But lets see. Depends on Biid’s jumper.

I really believe one major key tonight is not getting down early and getting out of the 1st quarter with a lead or at least very close. Keep the crowd in the game. If we're leading at the half, just don't come out flat in the 3rd and this thing is history.

I think the threat of the Embiid/Maxey handoff contributed to William starting.

If Tucker is being left open and not knocking down the shot it's going to be hard to score because the celtics are going to overload on Embiid, Harden and Maxey. Luckily we are at home so hopefully that helps the role guys confidence in knocking down open shots.
