are both tough covers and should still be improving. The Celtics' physicality on the wing presents real problems for a Sixers team that relies on numerous small guards, but Philadelphia provides a similar challenge to Boston’s backline defenders.
That challenge takes the place of one Joel Embiid. The number of people in the world who can hang with Joel one-on-one can be counted on one hand, and his improvement as a passer has made the prospect of doubling him in the post much less palatable than it once was. Whileprovides much-needed depth to a shaky Celtics frontcourt rotation, he also immediately becomes a weaker link than any in Boston's defense a season ago.
James Harden may not quite have his fastball anymore, but don’t underestimate the value of his playmaking. The Embiid and Harden pick-and-roll was one of the league's most unstoppable plays last year and should have been honed to a fine edge with a full offseason and a training camp together. Maxey has looked the part of an All-Star in the preseason and has matched ludicrous efficiency with high-level production through his trademark combination of slashing and shooting.
Boston is obviously no slouch, but its Finals run, as impressive as it was, was far from dominant. Yes, the Celts swept the Brooklyn Nets, but all four games were close. They then squeaked out a win against a wounded Milwaukee Bucks and were a Jimmy Butler jump shot away from flaming out in the Conference Finals in spectacular fashion.
I’m bullish on this Sixers squad and I have serious reservations about the Celtics without Williams. At plus money, I like the moneyline.
