#3Tweet: Celtics vs. 76ers back-to-back preview
Posted By Ben Rohrbach On December 7, 2012 @ 2:11 pm In General | 54 Comments
Leading into this weekend’s back-to-back between the Celtics and 76ers, which could have serious Atlantic Division ramifications, we’re debuting Green Street’s #3Tweet: Three Twitter questions (and a money round) with the opposing city’s best NBA bloggers. On Friday, we interviewed Liberty Ballers [3] blogger Michael Levin.
.@brohrbach [4] I can’t speak for all Sixers fans (all 13 of them) but around LB, most hope he plays some this year so they max him out. #3tweet [5]

.@brohrbach [4] It’s basically sad, half-bemused frustration at this point. We loved the move, we just want him to be healthy and play. #3tweet [5]
— Michael Levin (@Michael_Levin) December 7, 2012 [7]
.@brohrbach [4] It’s not an exact swap like that. The team only retained 5 guys from last year, so it’s a completely different squad. #3tweet [5]
— Michael Levin (@Michael_Levin) December 7, 2012 [8]
.@brohrbach [4] So it’s tough to say this guy replaced this guy, etc. They are worse on defense and have similar problems in half court. #3tweet [5]
— Michael Levin (@Michael_Levin) December 7, 2012 [9]
.@brohrbach [4] A lot of that is Iguodala, especially on D. But they really miss the interior D/presence of Elton Brand more than Lou. #3tweet [5]
— Michael Levin (@Michael_Levin) December 7, 2012 [10]
.@michael_levin [11] Holiday & Turner are having career years. Is this what everyone in Philly expected? Or can they reach another level? #3Tweet [12]
— Ben Rohrbach (@brohrbach) December 7, 2012 [13]
.@brohrbach [4] That’s what they were hoping for. Turner needed to improve because he was mostly bad his first two years. #3tweet [5]
— Michael Levin (@Michael_Levin) December 7, 2012 [14]
.@brohrbach [4] If he didn’t, they would have to find another franchise wing guy. Thankfully, shooting improved, but still a ways to go. #3tweet [5]
— Michael Levin (@Michael_Levin) December 7, 2012 [15]
.@brohrbach [4] With Jrue, he had to defer to Dre and Lou in the past. Now it’s all him and he’s got the freedom to make plays. #3tweet [5]
— Michael Levin (@Michael_Levin) December 7, 2012 [16]
.@brohrbach [4] He’s going to turn the ball over, but it doesn’t matter at this point. Maximize his talent and watch him improve. #3tweet [5]
— Michael Levin (@Michael_Levin) December 7, 2012 [17]
.@michael_levin [11] One final question. Money round: How do you see the division playing out? What’s the 76ers ceiling? And the Celtics? #3Tweet [12]
— Ben Rohrbach (@brohrbach) December 7, 2012 [18]
.@brohrbach [4] All depends on Bynum. Without him, they’re around an 8-seed. If he plays a good amount, they can beat anybody but Miami. #3tweet [5]
— Michael Levin (@Michael_Levin) December 7, 2012 [19]
.@brohrbach [4] I think the Celtics are kind of in the same boat. They’re not going to challenge for a title, but the east is open. #3tweet [5]
