CLAB 13: Talking the 76ers-Celtics 1st-round matchup with Anna Horford

With Boston set to face Philadelphia in the playoffs with Al Horford a 76er for the first time, we invited his sister Anna Horford to share her thoughts on the series.

With the Boston Celtics set to face the Philadelphia 76ers in the 2020 NBA Playoffs for the third time in three seasons, a Sixers – Celtics postseason series is becoming something of a tradition again.

This time however, there’s an awkward new twist — Al Horford is a 76er, facing his old team for the first time in the playoffs. To that end, we put together a crossover pod with Ky Carlin, the editor of our sister site Sixers Wire, and a very special guest able to speak to that awkwardness better than anyone save Al himself, Anna Horford.

Join Justin Quinn and Josh Coyne of Celtics Lab as we talk everything from the Xs and Os of Al’s role against his former team to the vagaries of British English and the unusually gruff style of Philly fandom.

Apologies in advance for some intermittent glitchiness with Ky — the logistics of recording across three countries (USA, Mexico and the UK) evidently presents unique challenges.
