Can Sixers Upset Celtics Without Joel Embiid?
The 76ers are set to matchup with the Celtics in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs but will be missing Joel Embiid who is recovering from an appendectomy. There is no current timetable for Joel’s return to the series. With the Boston Celtics to be heavy favorites coming into this playoff matchup, Tyrese Maxey and the 76ers will be faced with a tall task.
The 76ers still have young rookie standout VJ Edgecombe, alongside Paul George who has played well post suspension, but with the Celtics regaining Jayson Tatum, Boston looks as good as they ever have before.
Who do you think will win the series?

I think because 2-2 there is something to exploit there for the nurse and my 76ers idk. Hmm maybe we tie it up going back home and see what happens 😮
4-1 Go Celtics!
From a Sixers fan Celtics in 5
Celtics in 5-6, minimal intensity
The Sixers are gonna shock the 🌎 👌🏾💪🏾👊🏾
Philly in 7 🤷🏾♂️💙❤️
Rebounds and turnovers are the keys. Whichever team wins those margins has the advantage in this series.
reminder sixers fans were chanting they want Boston
