The Celtics and 76ers kick off the second round on Saturday in Boston, just a couple of days after the C’s wrapped things up with the Atlanta Hawks in their opening round.
It took the C’s six games to dispose of the fifth-seeded Hawks, the same amount of games it took the Sixers to end the top-ranked Bulls’ season.
Philadelphia won the season series 2-1 and the elder Celtics are limping into the matchup. However, the C’s have been here before and everything changes in the postseason. Will this series be a quick war or will the teams battle it out for seven games?
