I got C's in 5 and I'm very confident about it.

I'll even say we go up 3-0, lose Game 4, then close it out Game 5

I've made it known that Philly doesn't scare me one bit. We match up very well against them, and Embiid may also be less than 100% with the LCL sprain.

I know we looked very shaky closing out the Hawks series, but I'd like to think we'll get better as the postseason progresses, and also I think the Hawks had some elements that posed problems for us that the Sixers don't really have.

Celtics in 6.  We beat Philly on the road and crush their fans' dreams once again.

Celtics in 7. 

Just think we’re in for an epic series that goes the distance. Hope I’m wrong.

I had C's in 6 in the other playoff prediction thread, but I'm changing it. Either 76ers in 6 or Celtics in 7. I don't take into account of what happened in the regular season with them.

They're well-rested, and I'm sure they're licking their chops and want some revenge for 2020 after we swept them, as well as 2018 and 2012. The Hawks series have shown me this team won't step on their throat and play sloppy ball a lot which will probably cost them a home game (I think the C's lose game 1, but they'll steal one in Philly). Doc Rivers will surely outcoach Joe Shmuck.

Celtics are playing at about 70% of their level so I went BOS in 6.

I want to say Celtics in 5, but I’m sure Scott Foster will be allowed to team up with Embiid and Harden to give the Sixers a couple of wins when they get to the line 45 times.

But do we think Philadelphia is Paris?

Celtics in 6 (edit: I voted Sixers in 5 because I voted before coffee. Don't be like me. Drink before posting.)

76ers won like 1 game against the Celtics last 3 years and Embiid had to have 52 points and brown didn't even play.

So I'm taking Celtics. Also not sure how Embiid will be. A sprained lcl is no joke.

I voted Celtics in 6. I wouldn't be surprised to see us do it in 5. They don't tend to underestimate the Sixers, the way they might have the Hawks. I think they will be mentally focused and ready, they've probably been expecting this matchup for a while.

doc will coach circles around this kid.

he will have us unfocused a couple games have bad rotations and bad defensive calls and lack of timeouts and will cost us.

i will go with Celts in 6. a couple brainfarts will cots us a couple games. its pat for the course with this team. see last year even with IME.  we shoulda beat heat and bucks in 6 or less. we blew many games.
LET'S GO CELTICS!

I have Celtics in 5.   They get up for the 76ers.    I want to see them play 5 out on Embiid.   Make him work on defense with that injury.   Don't let him play near the basket.   Drive on him (if they try to hide him on Smart)
