Poll: Sixers vs. Celtics Series Predictions

[Phantom255x]

I obviously have no clue, but seeing some of the reports online and then the fact that Nurse basically ruled out Embiid for Game 1 while being ambiguous about his potential return, I wonder if Embiid actually has a chance at playing in this series. Now I doubt he'll come back and be 100% ready conditioning-wise, but it could be interesting if he somehow is able to come back by like Game 4 or 5 and it's a 2-2 series or something. Hopefully it's not, if BOS goes up 2-0 or 3-1 I could see Embiid and the organization just deciding against it.

The first game worried me more than any other game.   It was a 1 O'clock game and we were heavily favored.  We don't always play best in day games.    I think we could sweep them after game one's win.  Paul George is a playoff choke master and continued that tradition this past game.

It's Game 2 that we should be worried about. I remember this team loves blowing Game 2 home games in 2024 after a walloping Game 1 win.

Still got C's in 6. I don't expect Philly to roll over after the opening series. Maybe after Game 2.

I am kind of superstitious about making predictions involving my home teams.  I will say that it does not seem to me that Embiid will have any impact on this series.  I suspect that this kind of surgery involves being on fluids for a period of time, doing noting but lying in bed for a period of time, not to mention having a fairly major incision in your gut.  It seems like it would take a while to be back in NBA playoff shape.

I guess I can say that I suspect the odds would favor the higher seeded team in 5 for this type of series.  The higher seed team wins the first 2 at home, then the lower seed wins 1 at home, then the higher seed closes it out in game 5.

Just hypothetically speaking.
