The Philadelphia 76ers’ surprising Game 2 win over the Boston Celtics was a shot in the arm to fans across the Delaware Valley. Before Tuesday night, everyone was collectively shoveling dirt on the grave of the Sixers’ 2025-26 season, but 48 minutes and one wink from VJ Edgecombe has us believing again that Philadelphia isn’t […]
BOSTON — Neemias Queta just wanted to watch film. Moments after the Celtics’ painful 111-97 loss to the 76ers, the Portuguese center stood in the Celtics locker room surrounded by reporters, fielding question after question about what went wrong in Game 2. Queta was asked about what allowed Tyrese Maxey to get going after a […]
After being all the way out, Sixers fans are all the way back in after their Game 2 stunner in Boston. Tying the series up 1-1 against the Celtics, I’m soaking it up. Before Game 3 rolls around, here are some choice thoughts I have about the Sixers… Tyrese Maxey took charge when the Sixers […]
Arsenal are absolutely reeling right now, in desperate need of a win. Perhaps they are catching Newcastle United, a side with not much to play for really, at the right time. The Geordies, buried deep on the second page of the standings, also have a couple new injury concerns in Anthony Gordon and Tino Livramento. […]

The Sixers beat the Celtics at TD Garden on opening night — a game which took place in October, though it feels like a lifetime ago. On that night, Tyrese Maxey and VJ Edgecombe were magnificent. The veteran guard dropped 40 while the rookie poured in 34. With Joel Embiid struggling mightily and Paul George […]
The Celtics took their foot off the gas and got beat because of it. Allowing the 76ers to shoot almost 49% from 3 shows the Celtics weren't serious on defense. Hopefully this loss wakes them up and they take care of business in the next 3 games. Last game I thought Sixers fans were mellowing a little but this game shows they are still insufferable. After hating and trashing their own team and coach through 1 and 3/4 games, suddenly they love their team and all the playe...
#1 – A great start The first minutes of Game 2 looked a lot like Game 1, as the Celtics exposed the Sixers’ defense with smart ball movement and a fierce offense. As always, they targeted the weakest defender and used the strengths of the Jays to get to the rim and break the defensive […]
BOSTON — For many Celtics fans, Tuesday’s Game 2 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers might feel like a catatrasophe. But for Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum, it’s part of the difficult journey that is the NBA playoffs, a journey they both know quite well as they begin their 9th playoff run as teammates. “That’s a […]
In Tuesday’s Brotherhood Playoff Action, Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics lost to the Philadelphia 76ers 111-97; Mason Plumlee and the San Antonio Spurs fell to the Portland Trail Blazers 106-103, while Luke Kennard helped lead JJ Redick’s Los Angeles Lakers to a 101-94 win over the Houston Rockets. Tatum just missed a triple-double with 19 […]
BOSTON — Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla knew the Sixers were destined to turn things around as soon as Game 2 got underway at TD Garden on Tuesday night. He called it before the opening tip. “Tonight is going to be a much more difficult challenge,” Mazzulla said pregame. “I expect a better version of […]
After an impressive 32-point win in game one on Sunday, Boston would face a more stout Philadelphia opponent in Game 2. The 76ers came out to play in game 2, ratcheting up the defensive intensity and shooting the ball with confidence all game. Philly would snatch a big road win, 97-111 to level the series. […]
Playoff. VJ. Edgecombe. The Sixers shocked the Boston Celtics with a 111-97 win in Game 2 Tuesday night, tying the series at 1-1. Tyrese Maxey had a much easier go of it, putting up 29 points and nine assists shooting 11-of-28 from the floor. Edgecombe had his playoff coming out party, having a team-high 30 […]

For years, LeBron James and Marcus Smart have shared the court. However, it’s often been on opposing sides. Smart, a longtime Celtic, faced off against James when he was a Cavalier for countless regular-season games and in the postseason during the 2010s. Cleveland got the better of Boston during those battles, winning the Eastern Conference […]

The Philadelphia 76ers targeted Jayson Tatum early and often in Game 1 — and may have revealed that one of Boston’s old strengths is still available for another title run. Now, it’s no secret that Tatum is back and looking good. He made headlines with a dominant showing in his return to playoff basketball on […]
Last week, NBA media submitted their ballots for regular-season awards, with the late-breaking stipulation that Cade Cunningham and Luka Doncic were indeed eligible despite playing fewer than 65 games. What a stupid rule. As we hope that one goes the way of the dodo bird in short order, and as hardware starts to come out […]
The Celtics host the 76ers on Tuesday night for Game 2, two days after a 32-point Game 1 demolition. And, they’ll mostly be at full strength: only Ron Harper Jr. is on the injury report. He’s listed as probable with a right ankle sprain that he suffered earlier this month. Jayson Tatum, who made his […]
In a pregame press conference in Atlanta in late March, Joe Mazzulla said he never wanted to be asked about the Coach of the Year award again. “I don’t need it,” Mazzulla said. “I think it’s a stupid award. They shouldn’t have it. And it’s more about the players. It’s more about the work that […]
Here we go again! The Philadelphia 76ers will take the floor at TD Garden once again on Tuesday in hopes of turning things around in this first-round playoff series against the Boston Celtics — or at least make it a little more competitive. The hosting Celtics come into Game 2 with a 1-0 series lead […]
This video raises a question we’ve seen quite often in recent years: Could Larry Bird still dominate today? Or would be be a role player? The answer is yes, he could still run the league, and for a few reasons. First, Bird was, as Joe Dumar once said, a basketball savant. Do you think Charles […]
