Thirty-two times. That’s how many times the Celtics held a 3-1 series lead and won. Until Saturday. The Sixers hadn’t beaten Boston in a playoff series since 1982. On Saturday night they ended that too, taking down the secon- seeded Celtics in a series Philadelphia had no business winning on paper. The Celtics were 32-0 […]
Oof. I need a minute to unfold myself and get some air back in my bruised lungs. That one hurt. I think the reason it hurt so much is because it was so unexpected. I predicted a sweep for the Celtics. I dismissed the Sixers as first round fodder. I did not expect MVP Joel […]
The Boston Celtics were just upset by the Philadelphia 76ers, but we just witnessed them do something that we have never seen before.
Babe Ruth is certainly the most famous trade/acquisition in Yankees’ history, probably in baseball history, and you could make the argument for in all of sports history. A big part of its fame relates to how much it almost immediately became a massive swindle, leading to the Red Sox being “cursed” for decades to come. […]
1. Celtics Infamy For the first time in the history of the franchise, the Boston Celtics blew a 3-1 lead in a series, losing Game 7 to the Philadelphia 76ers, 109-100. This is the 14th time in NBA History that a team has come back down 3-1 in a series and the first time since […]
BOSTON — The Boston Celtics began their season with three straight losses. Six months later, against the same Philadelphia 76ers they faced on Opening Night, their season ended with three straight losses in a historic fall from grace at TD Garden. “We knew it was going to be a fight, and we didn’t expect nothing […]
Good morning, baseball fans! We are in the middle of a new feature for May that I’m calling the “12 Days of Mays-mas” because I won’t be around for the next week or so, and I want to leave you guys with some fun things to watch while I’m gone. For the third day of […]
Alex Cora’s termination ended the short-lived tenure of the painfully awful hit celebration that the Red Sox began the 2026 season with. No matter what else comes out of the managerial and coaching changes, I’m truly appreciative of the ripple effect they had on this weirdly weak and unoriginal celebration. As I wrote earlier, the […]

In Saturday’s Brotherhood Playoff Action, Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics were eliminated by the Philadelphia 76ers, 109-100. Tatum was listed as questionable earlier, but was ruled out due to stiffness in his left knee. Philadelphia will go on to play the New York Knicks. You’ll recall that Tatum suffered his Achilles injury in last […]
BOSTON — Minutes after Jayson Tatum was ruled out of Game 7, Joe Mazzulla walked into the media room wearing a black “Celtics Mindset” hoodie. He didn’t raise his voice or change his tone. “This season was about creating different identities,” he said. “We’ve done this before.” It landed the way most of his comments […]
BOSTON – On Sunday night, the Celtics were on top of the world, holding a 3-1 series lead over their rival Philadelphia 76ers, equipped with a fully healthy roster and on the heels of a spectacular 56-win regular season. Fresh off a 32-point offensive masterpiece, Payton Pritchard sat at the podium and reflected on the […]
They did it. They actually did it. The Sixers on Sunday defeated the Boston Celtics 109-100 in Game 7 at TD Garden, overcoming a 3-1 deficit. It’s the first time they’ve beaten the Celtics in the postseason in over 40 years. It was also the first Game 7 win of Joel Embiid’s career in four […]
Where the White Sox bats exploded early in the ballgame yesterday, today, the pitchers steered the first half of today’s story. Michael King and Sean Burke were trading goose eggs like baseball cards, while hitters were just trying to get a pack of cards for themselves. The Sox tried to stir trouble in the second […]

Two hours before tipoff, Boston learned they’d be without Jayson Tatum. Two and a half hours after tipoff, the Celtics traded punches with the 76ers all game and whittled 18-point deficit to 1 with two minutes left, but fell 109-100 in Game 7 to end their season. In an effort to shift the energy, head […]
Holy shit, guys, they did it! They actually did it! The Sixers pulled off the impossible, beating a Jayson Tatum-less Celtics 109-100 in Game 7 to come back down from a 3-1 deficit to win the series. Joel Embiid was able to break down Boston’s defense for much of the night again. He led all […]

The sequence that most perfectly encapsulates today’s loss to the Astros began in the bottom of the third inning. Willson Contreras was at the plate with the bases loaded and just one out; Astros’ starter Spencer Arrighetti was teetering and had just walked the previous two men, and there was more lumber lurking on deck […]

BOSTON — The Celtics will be without Jayson Tatum when they host the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday night for a Game 7. Tatum was ruled out with left knee stiffness two hours before tip-off.
