Conference Semifinals: Boston Celtics (2) vs Philadelphia 76ers (3)

[Sparhawk]

Sixers are still and underdog in this series for good reason. There’s a long road ahead. That being said, I am glad that I will always have this. Al Horford came to Philadelphia and committed basketball terrorism. He was a straight crumb in Philly. Regardless of how this works out, I will always have this. Fuck you Al Horford and fuck Anna Horford’s big mouth as well.

Harden isolated Horford to the tune of 1.75 points per possession.

Game low -17 in 30 minutes.

And if we’re being fair, much of that is on Joe Mazzula. He’s out classed in the playoffs. How does he watch Harden go off in that 1Q and the whole game he doesn’t blitz him to get the ball out of his hands. Just malpractice from the head coach of a contender.

Boston was pre-switching to prevent this from happening, but eventually Harden would wait just long enough to get the right switch.

76ers played damn good last night. And Harden was in a zone.

Celtics better figure things out or they'll be going to the land of cheesesteaks down 0-2.

Starting to process last night. All they really did was buy Embiid rest until Friday night. Who knows yet if that will make an impact on his availability but that shit sure does help.

CP3 down bad.

Book and KD not enough.

But, I think it goes 6.

Celtics better take care of business.

Tough couple of days for Boston sports fans. First the # 1 seed Bruins got bounced in the 1st round then the Celtics decided not to take the 76ers seriously or something. Just a bad game for them. And I'm not taking anything away from the 76ers.

I think Celtics come back with a vengeance Wednesday night and pretty much name their score.

As a totally unbiased NBA fan (go celtics!) I think the 76ers should consider sitting him this series.

That's what I'm expecting. Game one was frustrating to watch. Harden though. Can't remember the last time he had a great playoff game like that. I like seeing players have great games, just not against my team.

I need to see it one more time but I’m considering the fact that the Sixers may match up better in this particular matchup with out Embiid.

I think you're correct about Wednesday but the Celtics have proven over and over that they often do not show up to play until it really matters and then sometimes that's not enough so I could see the series going in the other direction after that.

Conventional wisdom says Celtics takes the series. Gut feeling says they lose it in 6 or 7.

If the Celtics can't tie it up that might mean end of series. But I really think it'll be tied after two games.

Do you think Harden can have a repeat of game one?

It will be about the availability of Embiid and how effective he is on the knee.
