They don't really have anyone to guard him.
You didn't watch any of the games. Horford is not a good match up for Embiid

No its not lol.
In fact, Bill Simmons on his podcast has been arguing that they're both top 15 players.

He said Embiid and Simmons were both top 15 players, despite being a Celtics fans.

My point isnt that he's a Celtics fan. My point is that he is a poor basketball mind

Coming from someone who thinks a laughably garbage defender in Towns and a severely offensively limited Gobert, along with Aldridge, all being better than Embiid.

6er fans can start planning for Raptors/Cavs in the next series actually. This series will be like a rest an the Four Seasons.
This is why I will never truly take this place seriously.

The Celtics are a nice little story this year with overcoming all these injuries, but they got taken to the limit by a mediocre Bucks team. The Sixers are FAR superior to the Bucks.
Clock is about to strike midnight on the Cinderella Celtics.

Coaching advantage
We saw how elite his coaching was in last year's playoffs.
Not sure what you're even referring to, but yeah coaching advantage. Stevens is the best coach in this series by a comfortable margin.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Cinderella the one who lived happily ever after?
I'm oerfectly okay with that then.

And we all thought the fans from up North were insufferable. Here you come into the light. Good job.

That said...this is a real rivalry. Just like the Celtics vs the Lakers. This one has meaning. This is not a fake Toronto rivalry. It's a damn shame the Celtics wont have Irving or Gordon
You're going to wish the Celtics decided to Trust The Process instead of prematurely trying to win now on the backs of inferior talent, and thereby capping the upside of their rebuild. You'll see the consequences of that over the next decade, starting with this series.

How many championships does he have? I forget? And what’s his playoff record again?
