Back to Philadelphia for Game 6, the Celtics have a Joel Embiid problem

BOSTON — Joel Embiid conquered his postseason demons on Tuesday night. He overcame the Boston Celtics at TD Garden in a do-or-die Game 5 to keep the Philadelphia 76ers alive to see another day. Down 3-1 following back-to-back Boston victories in Philadelphia, Embiid was ruled probable when Sixers coach Nick Nurse took to the podium […]

The Celtics just won the award they deserved most. Here’s how.

BOSTON – Before the season began, Jayson Tatum scoffed at the notion that the Celtics were going to tank the season.  “It’s the way our organization is ran,” Tatum told ESPN’s Malika Andrews. “It’s the culture that we set, it’s the standard that we have — regardless of who is on our team.”  Six months […]

Sixers must show some fight in Game 5

Celtics in five was probably the most commonly predicted outcome of this first-round series between Boston and Philadelphia. As the series returns to Beantown for the fifth game on Tuesday night, it’s certainly looking like that outcome will come to fruition after the Sixers laid another egg, this time on their home floor, in the […]

Sixers’ season on the brink Tuesday as Celtics host Game 5

The Philadelphia 76ers’ 2025-26 season could be approaching its swan song, with the Boston Celtics just one win away from closing out the first-round playoff series and eliminating the Sixers. Though, to be fair, I think “swan songs” are supposed to be beautiful or brilliant. This feels quite far from that. The Sixers trail the […]

The Celtics made Joel Embiid the target and Philly couldn’t avoid it

Attention to detail is one of Boston’s most overlooked strengths. There are plenty to choose from — volume three-point shooting, defensive connectivity, late-game composure. But it’s the precision and thoroughness of the minutiae that often sets them apart. Their preparation allows them to identify pressure points quickly, and then push on them until something breaks. […]

Boston’s 3-point shooting made Philly’s help defense look helpless

When the Celtics drilled an absurd 24 of their 53 3-point attempts during a blowout Game 4 win in Xfinity Mobile Arena Sunday night, I half expected the Twitter discourse to regain its steam.  The Celtics are 3-point merchants! The Celtics don’t play fun basketball!  Wrong, and wrong.  On a night where Boston set a […]

Luke Kennard, Marcus Smart fined by NBA for conduct toward officials

After a remarkably bad showing from the officials in Sunday’s Game 4, punishments have been handed out… ….to the Lakers. Marcus Smart and Luke Kennard were handed fines of $35,000 and $25,000, respectively, for separate issues involving the officials. Smart’s fine came for “questioning the integrity of game officials,” while Kennard’s was “for directing inappropriate […]

On top of being outplayed, the Sixers simply can’t make shots

It was always going to take a lot for the Sixers to pull off a first-round upset over the second-seeded Boston Celtics. They were going to have to make the rebounding battle look respectable, which they haven’t done. They were going to have to keep Boston’s role players in check, which they haven’t done. Their […]

Comments from the Other Side - 76ers Game 4 4/26/26

  Great win!  I love Payton Pritchard!!!  It was funny how before the game it was all how Embiid was the GOAT and would make the difference and get them a win.  Then afterwards, they were wanting to trade him and he was slow and lost the game.  Love how many Celtics fans were there.  Sixers fans insulting the Celtics and calling them names and wishing injury on them is terrible.  Hopefully the Celtics close this out in 5.  My favorites are in bold. ...

Sleepwalking Sixers pushed around on the boards and pushed to the brink

Everything you need to know about Game 4 of the Sixers-Celtics series was encapsulated in a single Boston possession late in the first quarter. Jayson Tatum missed a three-pointer, and teammate Baylor Scheierman tracked down the offensive rebound.  And well, OK, it happens. But then the ball found its way to the C’s Nikola Vucevic, […]

For a moment, the Celtics felt at home in Game 4 victory over the Sixers

Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum arrived at the free-throw line with 10:39 left in the fourth quarter in Sunday night’s Game 4 against the Philadelphia 76ers. There, his seventh foul shot gave the C’s a 30-point lead and sparked a tide-turn at Xfinity Mobile Arena. We want Boston! We want Boston! Celtics fans who made […]
