THE GAMES:
Boston Celtics at Philadelphia 76ers, 4:00 p.m. CT on ESPN
Toronto Raptors at Cleveland Cavaliers, 7:30 p.m. CT on ABC
THE STORY:
Both of these series have been duds so far, but at least one in a surprising way. I personally didn’t expect the 76ers to be down two games to the Celtics! But Embiid and Co. have a ways to go to even the series. Fortunately they’re back in Philly this afternoon. In the other Eastern Conference game, I’m never surprised when LeBron James does things, and even less surprised that the Raptors are suddenly falling apart in a playoff series, since that seems to be their brand?
Anyway, happy Saturday, and discuss away below!
