POST GAME PHILLY - PLAYOFFS - ROUND 2 - GAME #1 - HOME

One game makes not a series.

Remember the Bucks series.  Up 2-0 and it still took 5 more games to finish them off.

The win was great but we can expect an adjustment or two by Philly.  I think they will come up with a lot more energy.  

Overall I like the Celtics chances because of several matchups that the Sixers probably cannot address.

Check out what Jim Jackson says about Brad starting at the 2:50 mark:

Right dboss Saric, Ilyasova, Belinelli and Redick can do some good things, but none of them can stay in front of our wings and when Jaylen comes back the athletic advantage will be greater. Having said that I expect Simmons to spend more time defensively on Tatum and the next game to be closer....if Fultz was playing he could possibly do a better job on Rozier, but I can see why the coach would want to keep him off the floor for now.

Fultz cannot check Rozier.  Fultz was not a good on the ball defender in college.  I think he may get a little playing time.  I think they may try to put more size on Rozier.  Possibly Simmons? Terry is the head of the snake.  If you cannot slow him down you cannot beat the Celtics.  

Our kids are getting big time props.  The rest of the league is having to rethink their evaluation of a Celtics team missing 2 Allstars.  What they have missed is the fact that Boston still has a lot of talent and the value of coaching is underated.

We do not know how far this team will go but it has been one hellava ride.

The last four seasons under Brad and Danny have been phenomenal.
