One good thing though is that if they manage to win game 6 in Philadelphia they will have home court adavantage in game 7. Boston looks like they are confused and lack confidence.

There was heavy doubt after game 3, going down 2-1 in the series. Philadelphia buckled up and won two straight games, including last game in Boston to take the series lead. The Celtics are down right now and do not look dangerous anymore as they once did. Boston’s defense is having trouble against the 76ers offense.

Celtics vs. 76ers Prediction
I love this prop in this game. This is a classic Al Horford revenge game. He is coming off one of the worst playoff performances in NBA history. This has been a great series since the first game. I think the Celtics get revenge and force game 7. I think Horford helps them big time in this game to force game 7. I think Horford comes back strong and scores 8+ points with ease.
Celtics vs. 76ers Prop Pick: Al Horford Over 7.5 Points (-135).
