I mean yeah not exactly a tough call to say Boston still wins the series. Coming back down 1-3 is very low probability. But they're making it interesting with Embiid back in the picture.

But two double digit wins this series IN Boston feels good. Now just get one at home plz

I think we all know what's going to happen in game 6

true, I like that its a bit more interesting and it will get even more interesting if it goes to game 7, Boston are known to blow leads, think they were 3-0 and got to 4-3 against Miami not too long ago

I just like that Embiid stopped giving Boston easy outs shooting threes and instead went to his bread and butter inside and in the mid range where he can't be stopped. Absolutely dominated the second half. When that mid range jumper is falling they are just screwed because as soon as their bigs step up Embiid just blows by them and gets fouled or easy buckets.

Boston has nobody who can stop Embiid inside. We can fully expect the Celtics to double and trap embiid all of game 6. They're going to look to force turnovers that way and get the ball out of his hands.

Miami was 3-0 and Boston won 3 straight before the heat won game 7.

You’re in the wrong forum.

they will definitely plan for Embiid, when healthy Embiid is good, sadly he is never healthy



you are right about Miami, but how am I in the wrong forum when I am in Basketball forum talking about basketball - or am I missing something?

Bump

This just keeps getting better and better



LFG!!! This guy is COOKED!!!

He was limping around at the end of the game. He’ll probably miss the first couple games to start the next series

How many seasons until he is retired? I think he is done by the time his player option checks are cashed

Joel Embiid is the first player in NBA history to score 100+ pts in a playoff series despite missing the first three games.

HAHAHAH COOKED
