Transcript

00:00Despite despite the fact the 76ers are 14 games sub 500 at 20 and 35

00:08They are only a game and a half out of the Eastern Conference play in tournament

00:13Because of how porous most of the teams in that play in tournament range are everybody all four teams

00:19currently two games below

00:21500 or worse the Sixers at home tonight that should be good

00:26But they get the NBA title favorites and the reigning champs in the Boston Celtics the C's a seven-point road favorite in

00:33Philadelphia total stands at 223 and a hook

00:36Yeah, Sixers are really bad, but they actually should be rested coming out of the break

00:39Not too many all-stars on that roster for the Sixers here

00:42But if you do look at the anticipated starting lineup for the Celtics

00:45It's good to go holiday white brown Tatum and Porzingis right out of the gate

00:49But also like you saw sometimes when you're away from the game and it's gonna be a road game slash home game doesn't matter

00:56You saw last night with the Charlotte squad going out to Los Angeles and winning a game where they were getting double digits outright

01:01I'm not saying the Sixers gonna win outright

01:03But also if you remember the last time believe the Celtics played the Sixers in Philadelphia

01:07We were down in New Orleans for the Super Bowl

01:09Sixers had like a 20-plus lead late in the third quarter end up losing that game outright to the Celtics

01:14But that was without really any starters in that game outside of Tyrese Maxey

01:18So for me, I'll take the Sixers who were getting as many as eight points this morning

01:21It's now down to seven still seven and a half said a lot of outlets out there

01:25I'll take the Sixers tonight in an underdog role to keep it close right out of the all-star break
