Sixers or Celtics, who ya got?
Entering this season, many believed that the Boston Celtics easily had the best chance to win the Eastern Conference (even more so with LeBron moving West). However, at least in terms of on-paper talent, the Philadelphia 76ers might be the most talented team in the East now.
Looking at the current standings, there’s also a really good chance that these two teams square off against each other in the first-round of the playoffs in potential 4-5 matchup. If so, it will be a rematch of an Eastern Conference Semifinals matchup from last season, in which the Celtics won with ease.
Sixers or Celtics? Celtics or Sixers? The winner of this potential series could be the favorites to come out of the East.
