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 […]

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 […]

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

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...
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 […]
What’s a night of playoff basketball without the Brotherhood? It doesn’t happen very often, and it didn’t happen Friday night. Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics beat the Philadelphia 76ers, 108-100. Luke Kennard helped JJ Redick’s Los Angeles Lakers beat the Houston Rockets, 112-108. Finally, Mason Plumlee and the San Antonio Spurs knocked off the […]
1. TATUMadelphia After years of hitting clutch shots and beating the Toronto Raptors in playoff series, LeBron James eventually got the nickname “LeBronto.” At what point do we come up with a nickname for Jayson Tatum against the 76ers? In my mind I will go with “Tatumadelphia” but I’m sure there’s a better one that […]
PHILADELPHIA — A few feet behind my press row seat, a Philadelphia 76ers fan donning a vintage Allen Iverson jersey turned to his friend. “This time, we’re going to pull it off.” The score was 85-84 in favor of the Celtics with just under 9 minutes to play in Game 3, but inside Xfinity Mobile […]
After a rough Game 2 loss the Celtics needed a bounce back win in Game 3. They got it, thanks to clutch shots by Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown in the fourth. Each Jay scored 25 points as the Celtics won a great game against the 76ers, 108-100. There were no injuries to report for […]

Well, this is all moving quite fast now, isn’t it? The Sixers released their injury report ahead of Game 3 as the first round series shifts to Philadelphia, and Joel Embiid wasn’t initially ruled out on it. He is listed as doubtful with post appendectomy surgery recovery. It’s truly remarkable that Embiid could play in […]
