    This would be a great series if Kyrie and Hayward wasn’t injured.

    It would be 4-0 or 4-1 Celtics. Now it's 4-0 or 4-1 Sixers.

    Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown have been very fun to watch. Future all stars.

    I say Philly in 6 as they finish it off on their home court. Boston is crafty enough to give the younger Sixers fits, but the Sixers just have more healthy talent right now.

    who would have thought that 76ers would be more healthy than the celtics before the season?

    Yeah, Philly and Boston are the two great non-LBJ EC hopes going forward. This should be the restart of a long rivalry that goes on a good 5 yrs or more.

    Philly kind of scares me after this year. No more cakewalks for the WC.

    Basketball, just as life is a process, of ups and downs.

    Without Irving and Hayward, this is over in 5.

    I actually think Boston is good enough to hold home-field for most of the games, I think they can play hard enough to push it to 6 or 7 games. I don't see them winning against the pup-heavy 76ers who are the future EC powerhouse.

    The Sixers' starting lineup of Embiid, Saric, Covington, Redick, and Simmons was +20.4 during the regular season (over 600 minutes). Last year's Warriors starting lineup was +24.1 (over 530 minutes).

    All Philly lineups with Embiid & Simmons were +15.2. If they stay healthy, the Sixers are a contender.
