00:00The Philadelphia 76ers have never beaten the Celtics in a series without Will Chamberlain or Dr. J on the roster,
00:06of course.
00:07And I don't think they're going to beat him again this year.
00:08But let me say this, and I'm in a very interesting position on this.
00:12I want the Sixers to win.
00:14I do.
00:16Because I've always said, when people say, I want your best at your best.
00:22No, you don't.
00:23I want to win a championship.
00:25I want to kind of do what New England did this year, although they didn't win the championship.
00:29I want the easiest possible road to a championship.
00:33Nobody ever says at the parade, hey, yeah, sure, you're a champion, but look who you beat to get there.
00:39We celebrate champions, right?
00:41And from the Knicks' perspective, you guys are playing a team that's going to give my team fits.
00:47The Celtics are a better team.
00:48They're the two-seed, right?
00:49So if I beat Atlanta, which the Knicks are going to do, if you guys can somehow pull off the
00:55upset,
00:56I'm a lock to go to the Eastern Conference Finals.
00:59Not at that point, you're not.
01:00Because the Sixers ain't beating the Knicks in seven games?
01:02Yes, they were.
01:02You know that, and I know that.
01:04No, no.
01:04You know, really, as the Sixers, going by that same path of wanting to ease the road.
01:09I'm rooting for the Sixers.
01:09I'm rooting for the Knicks because the Hawks are a young, budding problem.
01:14No, you are not.
01:15If the Hawks were able to beat them, then now they're hot and they're making a run.
01:18I prefer to play the Knicks.
01:20A team that hasn't won in 50 years, I'd rather the Knicks.
01:24No, you wouldn't.
01:2550 years.
01:25You know, look, first off, you know full well that the New York Knicks are a better team than the
01:30Hawks,
01:30and you have no chance of beating the Knicks in a seven-game series.
01:33But I think, especially if Embiid comes back, you could beat the Hawks.
01:38So, here's what's interesting.
01:39I'm rooting for you, but you're not rooting for me.
01:43I am.
01:43This is the easy path for the Sixers.
01:46If you're going to go by yours, they have to play the Celtics.
01:48It is what it is.
01:49Then you play the Knicks, and then you play the Cavaliers with James Harden,
01:53who will never win and will never get it done.
01:56That's the path to the finals to play the Thunder.
01:58For me?
01:59No, that was for the Sixers.
02:01For the Sixers.
02:01Let me give you my path to go to the finals to play the Thunder and lose in six or
02:06five as well.
02:08Obviously, beat Atlanta, beat Philadelphia, beat Cleveland.
02:13Or Detroit, don't matter to me.
02:14Well, Detroit, you're not beating Detroit.
02:15Detroit's a problem this year for us.
02:17Beat Cleveland or Toronto, you don't care.
02:19Yeah, but it's interesting that I'm not a Sixers fan, obviously.
02:23I can't stand the Sixers.
02:24You should be.
02:24But I want Philadelphia to win.
02:26I don't think you're going to win.
02:27Seven.
02:27I don't think you're going to win.
02:28Seven.
02:28You're not winning games seven in Boston.
02:30Yes, they are.
02:31Tyrese Maxey, I'm saying it right now.
02:32I already said it.
02:34Mark it down.
02:34This is all on video.
02:36Yeah, yeah.
02:3637 points in game seven for the victory in Boston.
02:40You may want to tell us what he's going to do in the first four games because they might
02:43get swept.
02:44They're not getting swept.
02:46Game seven might not even happen.
02:48Sunday 1 o'clock is where it begins.
