Antoine Walker: The 76ers will beat the Celtics in 5 games

Retired Celtics forward Antoine Walker predicts his former team’s postseason run will come to an end against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Walker — who was drafted by the Celtics with the sixth overall pick in the 1996 NBA Draft and played eight seasons in Boston — said on “First Things First” Tuesday he believes the 76ers will take down the C’s in five games.

Boston currently leads the series, 1-0, after a decisive 117-101 victory in Game 1 Monday, but Walker said — despite his love for his former team — he likes Philadelphia to win the next four games.
