DP is gone on Christmas break and it'll be tough to get as close as he does on his predictions lately, but I'll do my best.
The 76ers are in town tonight to face the Celtics who are currently on a 13 game winning streak, which is incredible with all the injuries they have had to deal with. If you can remember the 76ers were one of the few teams to almost beat the Celtics during their streak. It took a Kevin Garnett bank shot off Rajon Rondo's alley-oop pass with 1.4 seconds left to lift the Celtics to a 102-101 victory.
I can see how the 76ers actually matchup well against the Celtics. They have a lot of guys who can run and take advantage of the Celtics age. That being said with Shaq back in the lineup, and maybe even Jermaine O'Neal the Celtics should be able to clog up the middle. Since the 76ers don't have a lot of guys who can hit jumpers I think the Celtics can shred this team. Plus I don't see anyone calming down the Big 3 tonight.
Celtics win 101-88
