    Boston will try to trap Simmons as he crosses half court to take the ball out of his hands. The only problem with that is they're hoping Horford can stop Embiid one on one, which is not a good bet. Stevens always has some random double team going on, they can't let the Sixers swing the ball around the perimeter or they'll be toast.

    On the other end Horford will take Embiid to the 3 pt line so other guys can drive the lane but Philly has a lot of tall guys. Basically this series is going to come down to 4th qtr defense and who can sink their 3 pt shots.

    Confident in Philly but just want to say I'm kinda surprised how much
    this ML has moved. My first bet yesterday was -145 now I see -202
    at Nitrogen. It's a bigger move on the ML than the spread.. this means
    a great majority pounded Philly ML today. Hope they deliver.

    Horford vs Embiid defensively is fine for Celtics. He's their best/most versatile defender. Too bad there's only one of him.

    good call, kid
    Philly unrecognizable from last week.
    They look tentative and confused.
    Embiid fidgets with his mask.
    Celtics bench look like all-stars.
    I'm going to make the move to MLB
