The Philadelphia 76ers have their backs to the wall and I expect them to come out hungry and angry.

Philly has been outcoached and outplayed but they are too good of a team to get swept here at home.

J.J. Redick and Joel Embiid have been a devastating combination to deal with. With quick smooth shooting and a physicality they make any defense of any team leery. Last year, the deep ball of Philadelphia was terrible at just 34% and their ball handling was non existent. This season, screen movement and better shooting have brought hope and a new direction to the Sixers - at home.


The backcourt of Boston are going to keep having problems with the guards of Philly, with stupid fouls, bad defenses, and silly turnovers. Boston's bench has had some match up problems as well - Marcus Morris has struggled shooting and has not been steady getting to the line. Philly handles their business here, at home, pushing this series and I like the 76ers to WIN and WIN BIG on Monday night.
