Celtics vs 76ers Preview: Can Mazzulla and Mitchell Robinson Stop Embiid and the JB Revenge Game?

Steve Purciello is back with another Celtic Chalk Talk. The Celtics went 3 and 1 this week. Steve starts with the low energy loss in Houston on the second night of a back to back. He then covers Derrick White’s late plays to beat Milwaukee and Jayson Tatum’s near triple double in a 119 to 80 rout of Charlotte. He finishes the week with the Celtics coming back from down 20 to 6 to beat the Bucks again, as Paul George scored 27 and Mitchell Robinson gave them a spark off the bench. Then he looks ahead to a big test in Philadelphia. Can Robinson’s size slow down Joel Embiid, and is Joe Mazzulla the equalizer against a 76ers roster with Tyrese Maxey, Jaylen Brown, VJ Edgecombe and LeBron James?
