Game seven, the two sweetest words in sports. We had the first of three of them tonight and Mike and I react to the Boston Celtics bowing out at the hands of the Philadelphia 76ers behind Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey. And playoff P&VJ Edscomb rally from 31 down. Exercise some demons for prior playoff series, including 2023 in Boston in a Game 7, an awesome, awesome game that featured some interesting strategy from the Celtics to open the game without Jason Tatum. That was the other big headliner. Learn more, presumably about how how he was injured and what his prognosis is. But he didn't play tonight and the Sixers went in and took care of business on the road and they go on to face the Knicks. Michael and I talk about the whole game, what happened in the game, how it got close, how the Sixers pulled away in the end, masterpiece by maxi, masterpiece by Embiid against the Celtics team that tried everything on defense from zone to guarding him with smalls, all kinds of crazy stuff. Talk a bit about Boston's off season, how they got here, what happened in this series, what happened during the regular season? Was it a mirage? Was it not a mirage? What about Joe Missoula and Missoula ball?

series, a rematch from a very fun first round series two years ago. And is the winner the favorite to come out of the east at this point? The way the four teams that are playing game sevens are playing right now, no one is made a convincing case that it's not the Knicks or not the Sixers if the Sixers win. So we'll talk a lot about all
