NBC Sports's Justin Leger is among the many choosing Boston to advance to the conference semifinals, picking the Celtics to eliminate Philadelphia in five games, but he also mentioned one scenario where Brown, Tatum and company "could be in trouble."
That situation centers around the 76ers' star backcourt of Tyrese Maxey and rookie VJ Edgecombe, as well as veteran forward Paul George.
"The Celtics should dominate this series. They're superior in virtually every category (except points per game, oddly enough), and they'll have Jayson Tatum back after missing him for all four matchups against the Sixers during the regular season," Leger wrote. "But if their usually stout defense allows the Maxey/George/Edgecombe trio to get hot and Philadelphia finds a way to keep it close in the fourth quarter, they could be in trouble."
