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

[fightinfunbags]

Yep
1. They have a level of toughness they never had
2. They now have a QB to run good half court playoff offense in James Harden
3. Guys now know their roles and they have a bench that allows them multiple variations of an 8 man rotation relative to the matchup with the opponent
4. Harden and BBall Paul gives them the ability to hang in the Embiid off minutes

Not good. It’s 11 hours until tip and I’m already a bundle of nerves and anticipation.

Win tonight and close them out at home and the Sixers have home court advantage in every series they’ll play from here on out.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Feel good about tonight @fightinfunbags

 

[DJ Fieri]

Celtics in 5

Impossible!!!!

Feel good about tonight @fightinfunbags

Never. I’m positive and hopeful but as a Sixers fan you never “feel good” before a playoff game.

Had a meeting that was supposed to be 11-2 get canceled and now I'm like how soon is the game.

I always feel good

And if not, I know exactly whom to blame

Dumb to have big gay Al in there so much. Williams has clubs for hands, but is so much more athletic in the middle.

He doesn’t have to be guarded outside of 5-6 feet. If this is the move they’re doing the Sixers a favor.

Horford missed twenty 3s. Williams could do that too.

Williams won’t take them. I think Celtics and Horford are due for a good shooting night.

The Celtics are due to suck for decades.

Hey man exactly which game will the refs allow the Celtics to go after Embiid's knee like you claimed?

Or could it be you were full of shit and being a silly homer when you said that nonsense?

 

[Iggloo]

I think playing Time Lord is a huge mistake. Horford kills the Sixers on offense and has a great feel for guarding Embiid.

But…

This could let the Celtics save Horford for 4th quarter defense on Embiid.

Keep him fresh and out of foul trouble.

Doesn’t really hit the same way with the Celtics down 3-2. Just saying
