    If Atlanta forced a game 7 and this series started on Wendsday, I'd lean Sixers. Starting in a near certain 0-1 hole with the considerable risk of Embiid re-injuring himself makes me confident in a Celtics triumph, albeit in a long series.

    I hope it goes to 8 games. I'd be happy if either team made it to the Finals.

    Celtics in 4. Embiid is done for the season.

    Harden comes back to H Town.

    Celtics in five. Embid can’t carry the team by himself. Harden will look good for one game when he gets a few threes from the outside and Maxey and Harris heat up and the Celtics play around with their meat.

    Celtic's Coaching inexperience will probably come into play
    but Without Embiid . .. they will still win

    I'm gonna guess Embiid is back for game 3 in Philly. So they're basically already in an 0-2 hole again to start the 2nd round. Deja vu from last year.

    Harden left a super team for a guy that is guaranteed to be injured when it matters most. With that decision & the forcing of the CP3 trade, He can only blame himself for not having a ring. I think that's why there's strong rumors of him coming back to Houston, he knows he ****ed up the Brooklyn situation and he's completely washed and incapable of being even a #2 option. So there's no point for him to stay there.

    Yeah, I like Boston's chances in this series against a Doc Rivers coached team led by Harden...lmao

    Philly will lose the first game, win 3 straight, and then lose 3 straight. Doc blows another 3-1 lead.

    It's pretty much over now that it was revealed his LCL sprain is worse than a grade 1.

    Sixers aren't exactly rolling the ghost of Red Auerbach out there Glenn always manages to lose come playoff time.

    The injury bug rears its ugly head again, seems to always ruins what could be a great series, winner of this series is probably Finals bound

    The league is fiening for a Celtics vs Lakers matchup

    Embiid is like Cameroonian Yao in terms of injuries. Literally every playoffs he's injured
