2026 East 1st Round Playoffs: (2) Boston Celtics Vs. (7) Philadelphia 76ers

Well, Joel just dropped 30 and they won in Boston.

 

I do not think that puts a lid on any trades, they trade him bc he cannot play 50% of the regular season games and bc they are finally ready for the future.

Him playing well just upped his trade value.

 

Watching the Celtics completely melt down on offense in the 4th quarter was really strange. I watched briefly at the barber shop in the 1st half when they were up double-digits and didn't think the Sixers had a chance. I have a feeling the Celts will erupt on them in game 6.

Road team has won 4 of 5 in this series.

 

Derrick White will be 32 this coming July and has a contract for the next three seasons/

2026-27.....$30,348,000
2027-28......$32,596,000
2029-29......$34,844,000 (Player Option)


His three point shooting percentage is down this season and some (many) Boston fans want to move him.

Should he be considered a Bad Contract going forward?

 

Boston should still win this series but like I said...they should have ended this when they could. The last thing they need is Embiid playing himself into shape and suddenly motivated. He still has talent and impact of a top 5 player.

The only reason Philly is where they are in the standings is because Embiid is always hurt.

 

And because Paul George is an idiot and took forbidden substances.....and also they sucked for most stretches.

 

Is that Olympic gold medalist Derrick White?

 

Ok Philly!!!

 

that Derrick White three was hard to watch

y’all give it up for Trevor Ariza when you need him most

 

Celtics cannot stop Maxey, bodes well for teams with speedy guards....

 

Inb4 the bottom percentile of IQ on Clutchfans start throwing trade scenarios at the wall centered around Sengun for Embiid.

 

If Philly makes it, they might be up for another 6-7 Game Series against the Knicks.

 

celtics have 0 offensive gameplan

literally just shoot 3s almost every possession

 

I think I would trade sengun for Tatum. Celtics might be open to that trade, considering his Achilles injury.

 

Second game in a row the Celts' offense has crashed, which should be a huge concern. It isn't as if the Sixers have relied on hot shooting to win the last two. PG and Embiid being healthy make all the difference.

Right now I'd call game 7 even money.

 

Philly got 6 points from their bench and forced a Game 7. Boston better come prepared Saturday.

 

vintage Paul George?
