Blakely: Al Horford is on the Titanic, 76ers are going down

A. Sherrod Blakely says the Philadelphia 76ers are a sinking ship and they would have been better off if Embiid had gone down instead of Simmons. He's likely right on the latter, since Al Horford is kind of an overpriced redundancy on their team.

I'm REALLY hoping the Celtics don't underestimate Philly and close this series out in 5 games max. I think Boston has the type of roster this season that won't take their foot off the gas, but I guess we'll fond out next week.
