One game is not a seven game playoff series. We see this all the time where so and so has someone else’s number in the regular season and that means nothing in the playoffs when you’re being game planned for. Again, if I’m wrong, feel free to up the thread or the post or whatever in May.

Boston not gonna be able to guard Philly in a seven game playoff series with Nick Nurse coaching.

The Celtics to this point have sent Embiid home 3 times and he's generally played bad in all 3 of those series for his standards.

I think you're looking at it completely wrong...the onus isn't on the Celtics to prove they can guard Embiid, it's on Embiid to prove he can actually step up to the plate and lead the 76ers to victory, something he hasn't been able to do. Only so long you can keep blaming coaches and point guards

Boston already beat Philly twice this year(Once without Jaylen Brown And Kristaps Porzingis) and Horford locked Embiid down as usual. Every Celtics fan will tell you one team we are not worried about is the Sixers. They fold in the playoffs no matter who the coach is.
Who would be the team(s) that Celtic fans are concerned about?

The Heat and Warriors. They have problems with fast pace small ball teams that play unconventional

Celtics actually play very well with teams that have a traditional big. Bucks, Sixers, Nuggets, Lakers, etc etc

Bucks with healthy Middleton and Dame.

They managed to shut down Giannis and Jrue in 7 games, now switch Jrue to Dame and KM. Of course playoffs is a lot about defense, but they won’t be able to shut down 3 dangerous scorers at the same time.
