Game Notes
This is one of the most storied playoff rivalries in NBA history.  They have played 19 series over the years, with the Celtics winning 12 of them. They have played exactly 100 games vs each other in the playoffs with Boston leading 54-46.  They last met in the 2012 Eastern Conference Semifinals, which the Celtics won in 7 games. 

The rich history between these teams includes Game 7 of the 1965 Eastern Conference Finals when "Havlicek stole the Ball."  The Sixers ended the Celtics run of 8 straight championships in 1967 but the Celtics came back the next year and came back from 3-1 to beat the Sixers in the Eastern Conference Finals.   In 1982, the Sixers once again led 3-1 and the Celtics came back to tie the series.  But the Sixers won game 7 in Boston and this is when the "Beat LA" chant was born.

The Celtics won the season series 3-1 but since then, both teams have changed considerably.  The Sixers added both Marco Belinelli and Ersan Ilyasova while the Celtics lost Kyrie Irving and Daniel Theis to injuries.   Both teams feature one of the league's best rookies and one of the best 2nd year players. 

These teams will forever be linked by the draft trade that sent the #1 pick to Philly for the #3 pick and a probable lottery pick.  So far, it looks like Boston won that trade as Tatum has played very well and has been an integral part of the Celtics success.  Fultz on the other hand struggled with his shot and has been out for most of the season.

The Sixers have won 20 of their last 21 games.  They finished the regular season on a 16 game win streak.  They also finished their series over the Heat in 5 games.  There is some question as to whether their win streak was the result of their playing excellent basketball or playing inferior opponents.  13 of their 16 wins to end the season were against non-playoff teams. 

They beat the Cavs who were resting players down the stretch and the other two wins were against the Bucks and Timberwolves, both of which weren't at full strength.  The Heat weren't the strongest of playoff teams.  Their lone star is on the verge of retirement and the rest of the team consists of inconsistent role players. 

The Sixers have no injuries listed as of now while the Celtics are still without Kyrie Irving, Gordon Hayward and Daniel Theis.  They may also be missing Jaylen Brown who left Game 7 vs the Bucks with a hamstring injury.  He has said that he will do whatever it takes to play but Brad Stevens reports that he is doubtful for this game but will probably play in the series.  Marcus Smart may start at shooting guard or they may move Jayson Tatum to shooting guard and start Marcus Morris at small forward.

Key Matchups
(https://ak-static.cms.nba.com/wp-content/uploads/headshots/nba/latest/260x190/1626179.png)  vs  (http://ak-static.cms.nba.com/wp-content/uploads/headshots/nba/latest/260x190/1627732.png)
Terry Rozier vs Ben Simmons
The 6'10"Simmons will have a distinct height advantage on pretty much any point guard.  Simmons is averaging 18.2 points, 10.6 rebounds, 9.0 assists, and 2.4 steals in the playoffs.  He is shooting 50% from the field and has not shot a 3 pointer this season.  Versus the Celtics this season, he averaged 12.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 4.8 assists in the 4 regular season games.  Expect Al Horford to guard Simmons for the most part and Rozier to move over to cover Coviington. 

(http://ak-static.cms.nba.com/wp-content/uploads/headshots/nba/latest/260x190/203382.png) vs (http://ak-static.cms.nba.com/wp-content/uploads/headshots/nba/latest/260x190/203954.png)
Aron Baynes vs Joel Embiid
The Celtics started Semi to guard Giannis Antetokounmpo but I'm thinking that Brad will go back to Aron Baynes at center to match up with Embiid.    Embiid is averaging 18.7 points, 10.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 3.0 blocks per game in the playoffs.  He averaged 17.6 points on 38.5%shooting in the 4 games vs the Celtics this season.  He will definitely be a tough cover for any of the Celtics who are matched up against him.   

Honorable Mention
Marcus Smart (or?) vs JJ Redick
As stated above, I'm not sure who will start at shooting guard.  It may be Marcus Smart, Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, or anyone else on the roster for that matter.  Redick is averaging 20 points, 0.8 rebounds, and 2.6 assists and is shooting 45.5% from the field and 35.1% from beyond the arc.  The Celtics definitely need to stay with him on defense. 

Also Worth Mentioning
Celtics Bench vs Sixers Bench
With the injuries to Kyrie, Theis, Hayward, and now Brown, the Celtics bench has taken a hit.  They will depend on Morris, Monroe, Larkin, Semi, and Smart to play well on both ends of the court.  The Sixers have super sub Marco Belinelli, who is averaging 16.6 points, 2.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.2 steals while shooting 41.7 points from the field and 37.5% from beyond the arc.  Former Celtic Amir Johnson, Markelle Fultz, and Ersan Ilyasova also play well for them off the bench. 

Keys to the Game
Defense -  Defense wins Championships.  The Celtics were the best defensive team in the league during the regular season, but during the playoffs, their defense has slipped.  In their wins, they got back to playing tough defense, but their lack of focus on defense was obvious in their losses.   The Celtics have a defensive rating of 107.7, which is 11th in the playoffs. The Sixers have a defensive rating of 101.6, which is 2nd.  The Sixers are first in the playoffs in scoring (114.2) while the Celtics are 10th (102.4).  If they hope to win,  the Celtics must get back to their tough, lock down defense.   

Be Aggressive - The Celtics have to be the more aggressive team and go after all the loose balls, and aggressively go after rebounds, and be aggressive on defense. They also have to be aggressive in taking the ball into the paint.  The more aggressive team will usually get the benefit of the whistles.  The Celtics need to be the hardest working and toughest team on the court.  We know that the Sixers will be aggressive and play hard and the Celtics need to match their effort. 

Rebound - The Celtics need to crash the boards as they can't score if they don't have the ball.  The Sixers are first in the playoffs with 50 rebounds per game while the Celtics are 8th with 43.1 rebounds per game.  The Sixers are first in the playoffs with 16.2 second chance points per game.  The Celtics have to work very hard to beat the Sixers to rebounds to avoid giving them extra points on second chance baskets. 

Play the Right Way -  The Celtics need to move the ball and play as a team on both ends of the court.  They have to move the ball and find the open man and not lapse into hero ball.  They have to play tough team defense and trust each other on both ends of the court.  They have to attack the basket if their 3's aren't falling.  Most of all, they have to play with extra effort and focus. 

X-Factors
Home Game - So far, the Celtics have won their home games and will once again need to get a boost from the loud home crowd.  The Sixers won two games in Miami on the way to their 5 game win over the Heat.  Ilyasova mentioned that the Heat's arena was half empty much of the time and that he knows that the Garden is always full and loud, even in the regular season.  Hopefully the Celtics will continue to protect home court.

Rust vs Rest
- the Celtics are coming off a tough 7 game series with just 1 day to rest and prepare for the Sixers.  On the other hand, the Sixers had a fairly easy 5 game series and have been sitting at home for almost a week waiting for the Bucks and Celtics to beat each other up.  Sometimes being off that long works against a team as they come out a bit rusty.  On the other hand, they will be rested while the Celtics may be a bit fatigued after their 7 game series.

Officiating - The officiating is always an X-Factor.  Sometimes the officiating is very good and they let both teams play and call it evenly.  Other times the refs may have an agenda vs a player or a team and call it one sided.  In the Celtics Games 1, 2 and 7 the officiating was good.  But in Games 3, 4 and 5, we saw a lot of bad calls going both ways and the players were frustrated because they didn't  know what to expect from the refs.  We saw the Cavs get 40 free throws to 24 for the Pacers in their Game 7 and the officiating was pretty much one sided with way too many foul calls.  Hopefully, this game will be called fairly and they will let them play.

Don't be so pessimistic. The Sixers were really good against the Heat, so it should be a closely contested series. However, you're right, the Celtics are clearly the better team, even through they're missing their best 2 players, and probably won't have Brown for game 1.

Hope TD Garden is ROCKING tonight!!  8)

Love what Ilyasova said, and also love the shot he took at MIA in regards to it.  :P

Anyways, this will be a real tough game however. Injuries are one thing (including Jaylen missing tonight), but I feel like the really quick turnaround from an emotional Game 7 to a Game 1 against a fresh Sixers team could end up being an ugly one for us. Sixers could start off rusty though, which is the hope so that maybe the C's can stay in it.

Definitely going to need herculean efforts from Horford, Rozier and either Tatum/Morris (preferably both) if we want to win this series. As for tonight, weather the storm, play wisely, limit the turnovers, don't make it easy for them on offense, and we CAN'T afford to go LONG stretches without scoring (might have been fine against MIL, but it won't work against PHI).

LETS GO C'S!!!  8)

Please Celtics avenge the loss we took from the Eagles. Losing twice to Philadelphia teams would be terrible.

To beat them in such a shorthanded manner would almost negate them beating the Patriots in the Superbowl.

I'm watching the Bruins on the TV until tipoff of the Celtics. Then going to stream the Bruins on my tablet while streaming the RedSox on my phone.

I am so upset over how injured we are.
Assuming Hayward and Kyrie come back healthy (and Kyrie doesn't bail after next season), this experience is probably for the best.

We pumped up Terry's trade value.

Brown and Tatum got some serious reps they wouldn't have gotten otherwise. 

HUGE for their development.  They will learn how hard it is to win without help, but learn how to carry a team when necessary.  This will help them fit into smaller roles when the stars come back. 

Also, the stars will have respect for the kids.  You know that Gordon Hayward only has 4 career playoff wins...?   Tatum has already matched that.

If everything goes well, we could be looking at a 5 star line-up in a couple years.  Kyrie, Brown, Hayward, Tatum and Horford.

If you're predicting the Sixers to win, doing so in 5 or 6 makes sense.  If it goes to game 7, I don't see the Sixers winning on our court in that atmosphere.

Alright, so Jaylen is out. On paper, our chances to win the game are very slim.

Still, we might be able to make this game a fight in the mud. A slow paced, defensive and physical game could give us an opportunity.

Wholesale injuries aside

The "experts" picked the bucks over us.  Granted I'd love to have Theis & Irving for this series, I think those 2 would make it pretty easy.  But I think the team as a whole has displayed amazing man up offense and defense.  Our starting playoff guard is TERRY ROZIER.  At the beginning of year I believe he would be 3rd string.  Larkin 4th!
I'm ready for whatever this series brings

Me neither. I would've went bigger and had Morris start to try and help the offense. For some inexplicable reason we're not going to Horford offensively with Saric on him, so our offense is pretty much just Tatum and Rozier at this point, which is unfortunate to say the least.

Me neither. I would've went bigger and had Morris start to try and help the offense. For some inexplicable reason we're not going to Horford offensively with Saric on him, so our offense is pretty much just Tatum and Rozier at this point, which is unfortunate to say the least.

And while Tatum has been overall successful, not using him properly when you have freaking JJ Redick on him.

This 76ers team is a team easy to dislike. Simmons is a punk, and so is Embiid.

Yeah, much easier to hate than the Bucks team

Bledsoe was pretty easy to hate!

UGLY ball...we match up with them better than the bucks.

I was kind of thinking the same thing.  Simmons is good, but he isn't quite at Greek Freak level yet.  One key will be to try and keep Baynes out of foul trouble.

Morris in needs to beat the crap out of Saric.

They should have been playing through Tatum, inside, from the start, imo, but Saric on Horford is another possible mismatch. Rozier can have a big series, as well, without the ball, imo.

offseason development for Tatum: learn how to keep possession of the ball when dribbling in traffic.  gets stripped way to often

Same with Brown. They both dribble by/into the potential help defense on the same side as their dribbling hand far too often, imo. Like, isn't that just common sense - going away from the help whenever possible?

Yeah Smart doesn't need to give us much, but he can't brick a lot of 3's and kill the flow of the offense.  He needs to do some driving and finish and drive -n- dishing to open up the other guys for clean looks.

With Brown out, I am more worried about the offense going dry for extended periods.  Terry, Al, Morris and Tatum gotta produce tonight.

Great to see Al come to life.  He got a long rest -- will only have about 14 minute played by the time the half ends.

I love that the Sixers are missing their shots, but C's really need to build a lead because those shots will fall.  Sixers really have a bevvy of good shooters -- harmless so far but will all be despised in time.

We've been grilling Belinelli all night.

That's besides the point. We constantly have a height advantage (usually Tatum) being guarded by a player that lacks defensive skills and we don't attack it properly, even if we've had modicum success despite it.

We don't make the easy play, we're making the tough play.

Looking back at the Embiid dunk play, his hand definitely got kicked as he was falling down. It looked like the outside of his hand, though, not the inside near his thumb. Hopefully that's the case and it's not anything to do with his thumb.

Perfect half needed by remaining C's (even if Smart is healthy).  C's are outmanned and if Sixers start to bury their shots, this game will get tight in a hurry.   Sixers are not a 3-15 team from 3.

gah. Forum ate my post cause of disconnect.

The upshot of it was that our home court advantage + strong perimeter defense has gone a long way to making Philly uncomfortable.

Rusty start from both sides. Sixers shooting poorly from 3 while C's did fairly well. Celtics defense certainly giving Sixers some problems, but Sixers also missed a ton of open looks in the 1st quarter. All in all, great first half and should set up for an exciting 2nd half!

Oh, and Horford + Tatum have been insane today! Pure domination. Rozier too.  ;D

When we’re down to 4 healthy players, will Brad go with the “my team is on the floor”, Norman Dale routine?

Can Brad suit up?

i can .....i d knee Embiid in the nads

How would you get your knee up that high?

Philly are shooting terribly, but I think they'll take only down 11. The Celtics shooting will cool down, at least from the field, and Philly will heat up, but hopefully not enough

I don't think we were on fire exactly, and I hope we shoot better.
We weren't really, but they were around 48% at half-time I believe and that's pretty good for Celtics considering their available offensive talent.

Simmons and Embiid are special players.  Unfortunately, Sixers also have shooters who will eventually make shots.  No lead is big enough tonight -- C's got to keep it going.

yup .....Saric , riddick, covington can bury us in a minute

The refs have done well this game. They're letting a lot go, and they're consistent

Yep. Other than some travels that Simmons has got away with, I think this has been a fairly well-called game, which is surprising given that Ed Maloy is one of the refs.  :o

Literally everyone gets away with travels in the NBA. If you are waiting for officials to start calling them you are going to be waiting a long time.

Sixers definitely don’t look as fluid as they have recently.  Not sure if it was the 6 day layoff, our defense, the culture shock of playing in Boston compared to the joke of a Miami crowd, or them just not coming into this one with much energy after the high of their round 1 victory... but I hope it continues.

Brad's got to get some shooting into the lineup to start the 4th.  this group has been brutal (and lucky)

I think it's a tough call for Stevens.   He held back on putting Horford back in early in the 2nd quarter and the result was a very fresh Al and a spark for the C's.   I am hoping C's can keep pulling miracle offensive possessions till Al returns -- maybe at 9:00 to go.

He’s infuriating at times, but makes a real difference.  One of the worst offensive players in history and yet he undeniably helps us win.  I wouldn’t be surprised to see us let him walk this summer, but I figure we might keep him if the price is cheap.

The 3 guard lineup with Larkin, Rozier, and Smart is... interesting

chasing little fast dudes is not easy after 40 minutes of running

maybe we wants to exhaust the philly bigs
yeah, simmons already has played 34 minutes.

So Larkin can stay with reddick better than just about anyone on the team.  Super quick.

I think Brown does better, but Larkin is doing awesome
I’d take that bet.  Of course, Brown plays because he’s much better.  But great man defenders don’t necessarily play that great against guys like reddick.

If I remember right, last summer Reddick said Brown was the guy that defended him the toughest. He has the speed to stick with him and the size to contest
That was BEFORE Larkin  ;)

Can we all agree that this 76ers team has been incredibly overrated for the past couple of months based off of a largely easy schedule? Once they face an actual elite defensive team that doesn't just wilt to their perimeter offense, they look as young as they really are.

No, we cannot. If anything the fact that the 76ers are really good makes our victory more impressive. Why would i want to mess with that?

Simmons is dirty. Can't stand him. He's already arrogant and feels entitled.

I don't follow college ball these days, but once I read that he dropped his classes (or something to that extent) after the season - as he was clearly NBA bound - I disliked him.  It really said a lot about his character and that he IS entitled.  He's gotten by by being good at playing with an orange ball, while the other 99.9% of the students had to earn there way there.

Terrific game.  Picked their defense apart and made the most of our opportunities.  We can't stop Embiid, but we can live with that as long as we do a good job on everybody else, and we generally did that tonight. 

Hopefully the long rest is enough to get Jaylen back on his feet.  Would love to come out and make the same statement in game 2.

Maybe if he wins in the finals. Like Brady did

Naw. We either roll it back and go into the tax this year, or we trade TRoz for a lotto pick and our future big. You don't trade away Kyrie just because you've got a promising young PG.

Guys - we just beat an overrated and fully healthy 76ers team in game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals missing three of our four best players and a rotation big. That is amazing.

Miss me with the overrated talk, they are who they are and the Cs are a great team...Wait until the NBA figures the Cs are the story of this season and they start getting calls accordingly.

Vets usually don't go in on garbage time when they haven't played the whole game. I'm pretty sure they'd see it as an insult, so coaches avoid it unless historically end of bench vets.

The difference in this series is going to be role players. Can Saric, Ilyasova, Reddick, and Bellinelli outplay Morris, Smart, and Tatum/Brown/Rozier (whoever is struggling of that group, which often happens)?

That's the key for me..

Simmons had a decent stat line 18/7/6, but those stats felt empty tonight.  He didn't seem to really help their team.  We did a good job in slowing him down in transition.  In the 1/2 court Simmons athletic ability is seriously limited when he can't play in space.  Simmons won't take a shot past 15 feet, and we were giving him open looks so we could stay glued to Reddick and Covington and the others.

I mean, he may get better through the series, but after dealing with the Greek Freak in that first round, where he was literally unstoppable, going against Simmons seems less problematic.

Where was that vaunted Sixer defense? Bucks much more impressive in their series.

Who would have thought that Terry Rozier would dominate Ben Simmons like  that?

Philly obviously is rusty, but, don’t think they can expect more out of Embiid.

Celtics defense of 3 point line was incredible. If they keep that up and Jaylen comes back next game, Celtics in 5 games. Seriously.

Still think we’ll come down to earth though and expect it to go 7.

People don’t realize that these players struggling is about the Cs....Bledsoe did not just wake up and decide to suck. Philly did not just decide to go 19% from three. CBS has a knack of making opponents look bad just like he has a knack to make his players look like stars. You watch the Cs and you can see that the follow the scouting report.

yeah simmons cannot hit deep jays just like giannis cannot either. both finish at rim with dunks or easy close shots.  if letting ben get SOME of his 2's at the rim allows us to shut everyone else down i will take it.

While I agree with you, when was the last time, prior to that possession, where that call was actually made? It usually goes against the guy who has blocked out, lol, because logic ::). I think. Honestly no idea ;D.

Embiid was just walking back on defense

That’s no Hakeem

Nope, that's Kareem ;) ;D.

BIG AL!

Al has completely outplayed Embiid at center all night long. Embiid simply can't guard him with his mobility and shooting from the perimeter.

Embiid out there moving like Hibbert, lma0.

great game.   can't wait for game 2.   really ticked game 3 is on ESPN cause I don't get that channel   >:(

I hope Tatum and/or Rozier hit a dagger in one of the road games and shushes the crowd with the finger.

Lets be real, it's easy to say that in a high-intensity game, but when Celtics are down 20, the Garden is still buzzing. PHI is probably silent.

Simmons is lazy on D and Embiid is not the brightest in terms of basketball IQ.  They do not have a Marcus Smart kind of shutdown guy.

And, Marcus Smart fouled Simmons elbow with his face?  Really?
