PHILADELPHIA — Payton Pritchard is sitting at his locker, his ankles submerged in ice. “I need another win on the way home,” he says, grinning. Neemias Queta chuckles and shakes his head.

And we do this dance again. Another injury report has dropped ahead of Game 4 of the Sixers first round playoff series against the Boston Celtics, and for it they have again listed Joel Embiid as doubtful with appendectomy surgery recovery.

PHILADELPHIA — At Celtics shootaround on Sunday, Luka Garza has ice on his knees, his usual post-workout regimen. In his head, he is prepared to play heavy minutes in Sunday’s Game 4 against 76ers, just as he did in the Celtics’ final regular season game, when he exploded for 27 points in a season-high 38 […]

The Philadelphia 76ers will get a chance at home to even their first-round playoff series against the Boston Celtics on Sunday in Game 4.

Between the roughly 520 miles of driving, and the two hours sitting on the upper deck press row of Xfinity Mobile Arena, around 95% of my Friday night was spent sitting down while the Celtics battled in a down-to-the-wire thriller against the 76ers. The decision to drive from my apartment in Richmond, Virginia to South […]
Boxing is not what it once was, but for much of the 20th century, it was a huge draw. Fighters from Joe Louis, to Rocky Marciano, then later, Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier, and George Foreman, came across as warriors in the ring. Ali was widely acknowledged as the greatest, including by himself, and his fights […]

PHILADELPHIA — The Celtics will be at full strength when they face off against the 76ers in Game 4 on Sunday night in Philadelphia.

Starting and finishing the second half to reach the 30-minute mark for the first time as a Celtic, the 35-year-old Nikola Vučević found himself in unfamiliar territory.

PHILADELPHIA — With just over a minute to play and the Celtics holding a two-point lead, it looked like Jayson Tatum was dribbling out the clock. Then, with less than 3 seconds left on the shot clock, he passed to Payton Pritchard, who was standing in the corner. Pritchard had not yet scored in the […]
Sixers fans are funny. I think they may hate their own players more than they do the Celtics. It's also funny how one will hater on the announcers while another wants them for every game. Personally, I wasn't a fan. Also funny how some feel that Embiid coming back will win them the series while others realize that if he does come back he will be rusty and will likely be limited. They are always going to hate Tatum since they took Fultz 2 picks before h...
LeBron James powers Lakers to overtime win and 3-0 series lead over Rockets, while Celtics outlast 76ers to go 2-1 up in NBA playoff action
Tyrese Maxey has been living quite comfortably in this series. Not in the sense that every shot is falling or every possession ends in points, but in the way that’s slightly concerning with every passing game. Through three games, he’s largely been getting to his spots and dictating pace. When the Sixers need something to […]
Losing home-court advantage before hitting the road against the Philadelphia 76ers prompted a sense of urgency for the Boston Celtics. To them, Game 3 might as well have been a win-or-go-home contest. There were no thoughts of returning to Boston with another split. No feeling of settling. The locker room had made up its mind […]
Game 1 had been a Boston blowout. Game 2 had featured a barrage by the Sixers’ bumptious backcourt. But Friday’s Game 3? That looked and felt like playoff games often tend to look and feel, especially those between ancient rivals like Boston and Philadelphia. It was a night that saw Sixers forward Paul George take […]
