Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid didn't hold back while discussing the Celtics' run.
Roughly 20 minutes before the game tipped off, Embiid was a surprise guest onWhen asked about his feelings towards the Celtics as they looked to potentially close in on an NBA Finals victory, Embiid revealed his honest opinion as always.“I can’t stand them, I hate Boston. Great city, great fans, obviously they got some great players, but it hurts me a lot. So, hopefully, this offseason we find a way to get better, add some pieces.
But Embiid has also been quite honest in the past about the Celtics, who have had the Sixers’ number since Embiid became the face of Philly’s hoops team. Last year, the two teams met in the Eastern Conference Semifinals and battled it out for the full seven games. Although the Sixers possessed a 3-2 lead in Game 6, they lost 95-86. When they paid a visit to Boston for Game 7, the Sixers didn’t have any answers for the Celtics.
