December 12th: Boston Celtics vs Philadelphia 76ers
This is a return that will probably be much more positive. On December 12th, Al Horford comes back to Boston.
This go around Horford will be the enemy. It still angers me that he ended up on the 76ers. The only way things could have gotten worse was to join the Lakers.
The matchup between Philadelphia will also be a good measuring stick game for the Celtics. The 76ers will be one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference. A win would prove that the Celtics shouldn’t be taken lightly.
It will also be interesting to see how Philly uses Al Horford. With him working alongside Joel Embiid he could see an uptick in scoring. All the focus will be on Embiid so Horford should get some favorable matchups.
Hot. Why Celtics have large mountain to climb. light
Whenever the 76ers come to town you know it is going to be a good game. The addition of Al Horford just makes the rivalry even more interesting.
