The Boston Celtics did their job and put away the Atlanta Hawks on the road in Game 6 to advance to the 2023 Eastern Conference Playoffs’ second round on Thursday night. Now, they will face the Philadelphia 76ers as Philly tries to get injured MVP candidate Joel Embiid ready in time for Game 1, set to tip off on Monday, May 1.
Will Embiid be ready? And for that matter, will a Celtics ball club that struggled against the Atlanta Hawks at times be prepared for a steep step up in competition? How will the Sixers face their own spike in the quality of their opponent from one round to the next after dispatching the Brooklyn Nets in just four games?
