At moment, I don't think Boston (in its current state) or Milwaukee will beat Philadelphia in a seven-game series.

Is it time to retire the term "The Process"? Seeing it in every headline for the Sixers is a bit much:

Y’all can’t be already declaring Boston into the 2nd round. It’s bad voodoo. The Warriors lost game 4 cause of this. Can’t we just wait for the series to end lol. It’s a 3-2 series where the home team has won all the games

At full strength, Philly would be lucky to take it to 5 vs Celts. Just a bad, bad matchup for them. Boston has more talent, more experience, homecourt and is a tougher and deeper team with a far better coach.

No Hayward, Boston in 5 or 6.

No Kyrie or Hayward, not much would surprise me. Either way, East as it stands is as weak as I have ever seen a conference, and I have been watching since like 1981. None of these East teams matter in any way, shape, or form.

Doesn’t matter, injuries are part of the game. Eagles beat the Patriots with a backup QB so anything can happen. Will be a start of a good rivalry, why I don’t want the Bucks.

About what? I'm not even predicting a Boston win in the current series, never mind one vs the Sixers, but we were 3-0 vs you this year before you beat us in the last one with no Kyrie or Hayward. Celts also won both preseason games, including one that you were down by 33 at one point, and shut down Simmons in all 6 of those games.

Wouldn't mind seeing Giannis vs Simmons, but I think Embiid would dominate way too much for that series to be close. Hope it's Boston Philly. Boston with Kyrie would've won IMO, but without Kyrie I got Sixers in 6 with each game being really close.

They don't really have anyone to guard him.


To be fair, I thought Baynes did a really good job defending Embiid in the first three match ups. In fact, the guy is probably the most underrated defensive center in the league (top 3 defensively along with Gobert and Embiid) and is a key part of that #1 defense that the Celtics have. On offense, it's like playing 4 against 5 and hence his small role.
