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

On the bright side, two years ago Harden beat the Celtics in 5 with the Nets and was arguably the best player for the Nets. Him and KD were 1a and 1b.

I think he's gonna play with confidence against them. Embiid will likely be ready by game 2 at the latest. Tobias gonna play big too. I feel good about the Sixers' chances to be competitive/win.

He had KD and Kyrie next to him and the C's didn't have Jaylen Brown. They were starting Tristan Thompson, Evan Fournier and Romeo Langford in that series.

Not to mention harden is older, slower and further beaten down by failure

Mazzulla was an abomination in the first round. Let's see if he's learned anything from his mistakes.

Unfortunate that Embiid went down how he did against BK

Either the Sixers are playing mind games or he’s legit hurt

Guess we’ll see if he suits up for game 1 or not

If he sits out game 1 I think that means this is a significant injury

If the Sixers lose the first one I think he’ll feel pressure to play

Hope it doesn’t result in hill coming back before he should and injuring himself more

But Embiid and the Sixers have been strategizing all year to get to this point to where the team and especially Embiid are healthy so I know he and they are probably feeling frustrated and disappointed

I think the Sixers still have enough to compete but Harden and Maxey are going to have to play great and they’re going to need Tobias to step up and have someone else play big

 

[Unbothered]

I'm not a fan of either team but, this seems like it might be Philly's year to make the ECF hopefully Embiid plays because I still don't understand how with all this time off since last week's sweep he still ain't ready for game 1 .

Milwaukee getting embarrassed by the Miami Heat and the Hawks almost applying pressure and a sense of desperation to Boston.

I think the 76ers have a chance to upset Boston I like how their team is constructed and the way Embiid, Harden, Maxey, and Harris to a lesser extent have played so far even though Brooklyn wasn't much of a fight.

I don't think Boston is a surefire as last season...

Or maybe I'm wrong. Just a Laker girl wishing for the Celts demise .

^Embiid and Harden earlier today

Can't draw any conclusions other than at least he's moving freely, albeit at half-speed

I voted Phillie in 7 but I am voting with my heart. Embiid is great but unreliable

 

[SchoolboyC]

I’ll be shocked if Embiid plays before Game 3, seems like the injury is a lot worse than what Philly is reporting

And the Celtics generally don’t handle being heavy favorites well
