Why did the Celtics blow a 3-1 lead against the 76ers?

This is an iHeart Podcast. Guaranteed human. Imagine an Olympics where doping is not only legal, but encouraged. It's the enhanced games. Some call it grotesque. Others say it's unleashing human potential. Either way, the podcast Superhuman documented it all, embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year. Within probably 10 days, I put on 10 pounds. I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth. Listen to Superhuman on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

What factors contributed to the Celtics' loss in the series?

On the Look Back At It podcast. 1979, that was a big moment for me. 84 was big to me. I'm Sam Jay. And I'm Alex English. Each episode, we pick a year, unpack what went down, and try to make sense of how we survived it. With our friends, fellow comedians, and favorite authors. Like Mark Lamont Hill on the 80s. 84 was a wild year. I don't think there's a more important year for black people.

How did the performance of Joel Embiid impact the series?

Oh, Celtics season. It's Dust, Nick's Sixers. Dust. On deck. We are live. It's the Herd, wherever you may be.

Why is Jalen Brunson ranked outside the top three players?

Colin Cowherd 2:50
Wherever, however you may be watching. Thanks for making us part of your day where Colin was right, where Colin was wrong in one hour. I like formulas. I'm kind of organized that way, but you can't fall in love with them. You got to adjust. So the series... the Sixers beating the Celtics, was as much about the Celtics losing as the Sixers, who now face the Knicks, winning. And let's be honest. The Lakers won a series without Luka. The T-Wolves won a series without Ant playing at the end.

How do injuries affect the dynamics of the Knicks-76ers matchup?

Colin Cowherd 3:24
So you're thinking Boston's fine. But actually, in game six, when Tatum hobbled off, they were trailing then. Embiid, best player on the floor easily. And Boston just didn't look athletic enough. And some of it's the construct of their team. They shot 50 more threes than any playoff team and 100 more than the Sixers in the series. I don't know what Philly's formula is. But I know Maxie, Edgecombe, Paul George are super athletic. And the occasions when Embiid is actually healthy, he was easily the best player in the series. I am for formulas.

What predictions can be made about the series outcome?

Colin Cowherd 4:03
I said this last week. The Celtics are more formula than fantastic. Okay, but I'm for formulas. The Seahawks ran the ball all year. And then circumstances changed, and in the NFC Championship, Sam Darnold threw 36 times, and they only ran at 19. Because the Seahawks, because of the game script, had to adjust their formula.
