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

Time for Embiid to earn that MVP. When the ball rolls out Monday he will have had 11 days of rehab and rest. If he doesn't play Monday series is over, because if 11 days isn't enough to get him right that means it's a more serious injury than has been reported...

If he can play though I expect the absolute best from him and he needs to earn that MVP by finally winning a Semifinal series...

My heart wants Philly to win, I'm a lightweight Sixer fan. But my gut tells me I can't trust this team until proven otherwise. So I'm going Boston in 6...

But I need Throwback Harden and the 6ers to show the fukk out!

Knee sprains don’t normally take just 10 days to heal It’s a wrap for bruh

Is Mazzulla gonna play big lineups or got with the small ball lineup? Atlanta got a bunch of Offensive boards and 2nd chance points against the C's. Can the Celtics clean up their rebounding and defend the 3 point line? Will Mazzulla give Grant, Griffin, and the other big guys minutes instead of Hauser?
Which coach will stink it up worse and cost their team with silly decisions?

I actually think Hauser would do great in this series

Gotta be frustrating being a Philly fan dealing with Embiid. Seemed to have finally calmed his ass down and drastically reduced the amount of spilling onto the floor with reckless basketball.. survived all throughout the regular season with the new mid-range jumper, probably getting MVP, but then in the 11th hour vs the weakest team in the entire playoff bracket, this dude gets hurt contesting a fairly meaningless layup.

Last year it was taunting Raptor players in the 1st round, which led to him getting cracked in the face and hampering the rest of his playoff run. In 2019, something something stomach virus. Always on the verge of something special and then it's like what the fukk

How bad of a sprain was it that Embiid suffered?

I don’t think he plays this series

I read it's a LCL sprain. They said it can range from just slight pain to an actual tear

I don’t think he plays this series

The series is every other day for the first 6 games. If he can't play in game 1 after almost 2 weeks off, that's a pretty significant sprain... not sure how it would magically be better couple days later for game 2.
