As far as strategy, I hope we go at Embiid a bit and hope we can get him in some early foul trouble. Jaylen driving at him, Kanter posting up, everyone willing to take the charge.

I'm officially at the butterflies in the stomach stage now. Just start the game already! Devastate and destroy!

If Matisse Thybulle comes through and helps the Sixers win this series while G. Williams and Carsen Edwards contribute little or nothing, Ainge is going to have some 'splainin' to do.

If the series came down to that, I think the top Celtics players will have some explaining to do.

Exactly.

If Kemba,Tatum and Brown play how they should then Thybulle and Williams/Edwards won’t mean a damn thing.

Edit: I forgot Hayward too. Says a lot perhaps :lol:

I agree. With both of you.

EDIT: Freely admit I wasn't a Thybulle champion though. Wanted Clarke with the non-traded pick.

Of course the two games I don't care about have to be first of the day. Sigh

He tore ligaments in his wrist.

In the offseason last year he wore a ping pong racket on his left palm to change some of his shooting mechanics.

These two things combined make me worried, IDK about wrist injuries recovery time but thats worrisome news.

Really weird getting psyched for a playoff game in August. And so early in the day (west coast for me). But, I'm there.
Cs up!!!
