Grab some popcorn. Find a seat. Enjoy the bloodbath between the Sixers and the Celtics. The Knicks will just be resting and patiently waiting.

In another year and another Sixers-Celtics Game 7, the Artist Formerly Known as Lloyd Free was determined to make a name for himself. One of ‘em, anyway. He is known now as World B. Free. Has been since December 1981, when he legally changed his name midway through a 13-year run as a freewheeling, shoot-first-and-ask-questions-later […]
Game Seven. Two of the most heart-pumping words in all of sports. Under any circumstances, the Philadelphia 76ers playing a win-or-go-home game with the season on the line would make for an edge-of-your-seat viewing experience. However, tonight has the added element of coming against the rival Boston Celtics, with all of the history that entails. […]
It’s hard to understand how Game 7 became necessary. The Celtics split the first two games of the series, but then went on the road and took both Games 3 and 4 – one close and one comfortably – in front of hostile crowds. They returned home for Game 5 feeling good and expecting to […]
The Boston Celtics are collapsing in on themselves, now having dropped back-to-back games against the Philadelphia 76ers. What was supposed to be a quick series for Boston has now turned into a slog, with Philly bouncing back from a 3-1 deficit to force a Game 7. It’s do-or-die time. No more second chances. The Celtics […]
Joe Mazzulla has stuck to his guns with his starting lineup and who he plays off of the bench. Well, expect a for at center but that is a different story. The Celtics have started the same five of Derrick White, Jaylen Brown, Sam Hauser, Jayson Tatum and Neemias Queta in all 6 games of […]

BOSTON — The Celtics will be at full strength when they face the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday night for Game 7. Jayson Tatum, who did not play in the final 15 minutes of Game 6, is not on the injury report. Tatum exited the game with four minutes left in the third quarter and briefly […]
I thought this post from Beeeater58 in The Feed was well done and timely. Agree with the sentiment about expectations. The Celtics won fewer games this year than they did the prior year (coming off a title), but it was so much more fun because we didn’t have expectations. Then we won all those games […]
Game 6 was a dream I never want to wake up from. As the Sixers have forced a Game 7 in Boston against the heavily favored Celtics, I’ll share a new “5 Sixers thoughts” column with you all… My Paul George apology form I hated the Paul George contract before the ink even dried on […]
While the Sixers went into their round one series against the Boston Celtics not knowing whether Joel Embiid would be available for it, they did have something they haven’t in their previous three playoff matchups against Boston: wings to throw at their stars. Paul George and Kelly Oubre Jr. possess enough length, speed and strength […]
Over the last five quarters of this series, I haven’t recognized this version of the Celtics. While there have been flashes, they haven’t consistently looked like the team that got them here. So far in these playoffs, Boston has the third-highest isolation frequency among playoff teams. For a roster built around depth and decision-making, that […]
Another disappointing effort from the Celtics. Too much hero ball. Too little effort on defense and rebounds. Sixers fans are still awful. They really hate their own team almost more than they do the Celtics. Hopefully the Celtics wake up and come to play on Saturday. They are definitely the more talented team but are allowing the 76ers to play harder. All is not lost though. The 2008 team went to Game 7 in both of the first 2 rounds and st...
#1 – ¿Dónde está España? The Celtics’ Spain pick-and-roll action is the most efficient play call they have, especially against a big man like Joël Embiid. Therefore, it wasn’t a surprise to see them go to this action to start the game. First with Sam Hauser and then with Jayson Tatum, the Celtics scored their […]
