Comments from the Other Side - 76ers Game 2 4/21/26

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...

The Sixers’ history against the Celtics in the playoffs

Could the Sixers upset the Celtics in the first round of the playoffs? It feels highly unlikely, but it would be revenge over four decades in the making. This spring will be the NBA-record 23rd time the two franchises have met in the postseason. It’s a rivalry that favors Boston historically, and, really, in 2026 […]

Comments from the Other Side - 76ers Game 1 4/19/26

 Great way to open the playoffs!   I love all the coach and GM envy from the Sixers fans.  Funny how in the beginning they felt Maxey better than Tatum and Brown but by the end, they think he's trash and want him traded.  Even though there is no way they would have gotten Tatum,  they will always torture themselves about taking Fultz over Tatum.  The racist comments are really getting old.  There is no basis for them.  My favorites are in bold.&nbsp...

Interview: After making her WNBA debut with the Indiana Fever, Kyra Lambert is still eager for every basketball opportunity

Over two years ago, Kyra Lambert took the time to talk to Swish Appeal. Since then, she has achieved two significant personal milestones. First, August 14, 2025, Lambert signed a 7-day hardship contract with the Indiana Fever—her first WNBA contract. Three days later, on August 17, the 5-foot-9 point guard who started 104 games across […]

Parquet Plays: Spain and spacing in Game 1

The Celtics’ Game 1 blowout was surgical. Limiting their turnovers to eight and Philly to 4-of-23 from behind the arc certainly helped, but offensively, Boston stuck to their core offensive principles en route to a 123-91 win over the 76ers. There are 2,350 square feet from midline to baseline and head coach Joe Mazzulla maximizes […]

McCollum, Hawks rally late, stun Knicks 107-106 in Game 2

Hawks 107, Knicks 106: Scenes from choking on feathers

The Knicks (1-1) had this one in their hands—until they didn’t. Up eight with under six minutes to play and in control most of the night, New York fell apart down the stretch, getting outscored 28-15 in a grisly fourth-quarter collapse. A string of empty trips, an impressive performance by CJ McCollum, and a late […]

NBA Lottery tiebreakers increase Bucks’ odds of moving up in draft

While the 2025–26 NBA regular season standings were finalized after last weekend, as I mentioned a week ago, that didn’t mean the lottery odds were completely set. Since multiple teams in the lottery finished with identical records, the NBA needed to conduct random tiebreakers between those teams to determine who got an extra ball in […]

Javi Navarro Leads Real Madrid’s Next Generation to Youth League Glory

Real Madrid’s second UEFA Youth League title will be remembered for many reasons — but above all, for the emergence of Javi Navarro as its defining figure. Hero in the semi-final.

Celtics’ Jayson Tatum puts Sixers on notice with Game 1 takeover

BOSTON — Six months ago, Jayson Tatum didn’t know he’d return in time for the playoffs. He wasn’t even certain he’d play at all until next season. Those thoughts of doubt followed him throughout his return from his torn right Achilles tendon, but vanished in Game 1 against the Sixers. “I’m proud of what I’ve […]
