The Boston Celtics are at war. This NBA playoff series with the Philadelphia 76ers has been a barn burner.
It feels like it could go to seven games. Who knows who will emerge victorious?
With that said, there has been a defining factor in this series. In some respects, the Sixers have gotten lucky. If the Celtics could rely on Robert Williams III, this one might already be over.
Unfortunately, injuries have limited Williams III’s impact. He’s seemingly unable to play starter minutes.
If only the Celtics could replace him with a similar, yet durable player.
A player like Nic Claxton of the Brooklyn Nets, for example.
