BOSTON KILLS THE SIXERS EVERYTIME!

Boston Has Always Been The Sixers Achilles Heel, Pick A Year, Pick An Era & They’ve Always Been A Consistent Thorn In The Sixers Side. It’s Kind Of Strange Seeing That These The Teams Are Currently & Historically Evenly Matched.

Whether It Was The Charles Barkley Era, The Julius Erving Era, Even The Wilt Chamberlain Era Or Now, These Two Teams Have Pretty Much Always Been Evenly Matched, So What Gives? Why Do The Sixers Struggle With The Green Goblins?

Overall The Sixers Are 3-14 Against Boston In The Last 3 Years & Lifetime 187-261 Against Boston After 448 Match Ups!

Historically The Sixers Have Always Been A Proud Winning Franchise That Characterized That East Coast Inner City Grittiness With Play That Exhibited Defensive Minded Hustle, Simple But Strong Team Philosophy, No Showtime Flash, Just Good Basketball Delivered By Rosters That Were Pretty Much Always Consistently Packed With Good To Great Players.

This Years Roster Is Good To Great Also! The Big 3 Of Joel Embiid, Ben Simmons & Jimmy Butler Alone Give The Sixers An Automatic 55-60 Guaranteed Points A Game, They’re Currently 3rd In The Eastern Conference & Are Expected & Predicted To Make A Good Playoff & Possibly A Championship Run.

That Is If They Beat Boston!  Cause If They Beat Boston It Would Represent A Significant Change In The Current NBA Playoffs Landscape! I Believe The Sixers Energy In The Playoffs Will Catch A Lot Of Teams Off Guard, Which Will Result In Quick Series Leads & Allow The Sixers To Play Downhill.

A Possible 1st Round Series Against Detroit Works In Their Favor As They Match Up Well With Blake Griffin & Andre Drummond & Company, Mainly Because Detroit Is 29th In The League In F.G % , Hitting just 44.1% Of Their Shots & Their Def. Reb % Is At The Bottom Half Of The League & Ultimately The Sixers Are 3-1 In Their Regular Season Matchup With The Pistons.

I Predict A Strong Playoff Run & I Also Expect A Matchup With The Celtics To Be A Legendary Series!  If & When The Sixers Beat Boston, There Is No Team In Front Of Them That They Cannot Beat!
