76ers v Celtics will be one of the best matchups of the second round. Joel Embiid has played very well and Harden has been super consistent. But, on the other side, the Celtics have been one of the best teams all year. So, whos winning this 7 game series? Here's my prediction:
Game 1: Celtics Win
In Game 1, I have the Celtics winning by a lot. Embiid is out and the 76ers won't be able to keep up offensively.
Game 2: 76ers win
In Game 2, I have the 76ers winning. Embiid should hopefully be back, and the 76ers will be fully healthy. Embiid will dominate the paint and Harden will ice the game with a late game 3.
Game 3: 76ers win
In Game 3, I have the 76ers winning again. They will dominate the boards and the Celtics won't be able to keep up with Embiid.
Game 4: Celtics win
In Game 4, I have the Celtics getting a huge win. Tatum will drop 30+ and the Celtics will dominate this game.
Game 5: 76ers win
In Game 5, I have the 76ers going up 3-2 in the series. This willl be Harden's best game of the series and Maxey will have a great defensive game.
Game 6: Celtics win
In a win or go home situation for the Celtics, they will not be playing around. They will have a great offensive game, but will struggle on the defensive side of the ball. But, in the end, Tatum will hit a game winner to send it to Game 7.
Game 7: 76ers win
Finally, in Game 7, I have the 76ers pulling out a nail biter. Brown and Tatum won't be able to get much on the offensive side of the ball, and Embiid will just be too dominant in the paint for them to stop. The 76ers will advance to the ECF.
