Legacy and Eastern Conference Supremacy | Official 76ers (#3) vs. Celtics (#2) East Semifinals Thread

This chase down was special

Yup but i was referring to this one:



it set the tone imo

And what's overlooked is that Marcus Smart 3 that came after the buzzer was due to Tatum seeing Embiid waiting for him in the paint and wanting no parts of that

Refs going to be working overdrive tomorrow. I expect to see some key 76er personnel in foul trouble come Thursday night specially Embiid somehow

Ever since they saw what happened to JB on that dunk attempt, they've been when seeing Embiid near the paint

You can deter a lot of drives if guys know you're going for the block rather than verticality & are willing to foul them hard

Idk if I've ever seen a First Take like this. Just pure analyzing of basketball without the sensationalism

Was at the game Last night. Horrible efforts on both ends of the floor by everyone. Gotta give the Sixers credit, they made all the shots and we didn’t. We ain’t done yet. Still have faith on this team. One game at a time.

I was watching this morning like when Legler was breaking shyt down. Never see that type of shyt from Stephen A.

I see 76ers closing the series out tonight. Celtics will have to make some decisions on that coach. Vegas been favoring Celtics all series each game and now they are favored by what 2.5

I see a route for 76ers

Win or lose. Celtics need to trade Marcus Smart and Al Horford in the offseason for a legit big man and a backup athletic wing

Both of them are relics and holdovers from the Brad Stevens' coaching era, and do not fit with the current construction of the team. The Celtics are down 3-2 and struggled to win in 6 against the Hawks because of these two players. Opposing teams are exploiting them in every game

Horford has more value in boston than elsewhere. Gotta keep him. Win or Lose smart goes. Lose and smart gets packaged with brown

Horford will be 37 next season (technically, he'll be 37 in about a month, so this time next season he'll be verging on 38).

Unless they plan on moving him into a Udonis Haslem type of role, I don't know what benefit he has for the Celtics.

What the hell does that matter? Having more value in Boston than anywhere else =/= Having value in Boston enough to elevate the Celtics

Whatever benefit he has, theres less elsewhere. He can still defend reasonably well and hit a jumper
