10 takeaways from the Celtics forgetting who they are in Game 6

#1 – ¿Dónde está España? The Celtics’ Spain pick-and-roll action is the most efficient play call they have, especially against a big man like Joël Embiid. Therefore, it wasn’t a surprise to see them go to this action to start the game. First with Sam Hauser and then with Jayson Tatum, the Celtics scored their […]

Celtics meet déjà vu again with their season at stake

The Boston Celtics haven’t learned their lesson. Instead of preparing for a second-round series against the New York Knicks, they’re boarding a flight back home to host the Philadelphia 76ers in Game 7. On Thursday night, the Celtics fell to the Sixers, 106-93, squandering their second chance to close out Philadelphia after taking a commanding […]

The Celtics have already accepted Game 6. Now, they get one final chance.

PHILADELPHIA — Jaylen Brown gripped the basketball and tapped it against his forehead in frustration. Hugo Gonzalez, who typically springs off the Celtics bench at the beginning of every timeout, tried to high-five Brown with his usual, 20-year-old jubilance. But, as Gonzalez’s hand slapped Brown’s, the Celtics star looked stunned, seemingly still processing a performance […]

Game 7 it is! Sixers dominate Celtics in Game 6

Maybe we do want Boston? The Sixers smoked the Celtics 106-93 in Game 6 in a contest that was not as close as the score would indicate. There will a Game 7 in Boston Saturday.

JJ Redick felt Lakers defended well enough in Game 5, couldn’t make shots

The Lakers’ defense, or lack thereof, has been a topic of conversation all season long. The narrative of Luka Dončić and Austin Reaves as poor defenders portrays the team as incapable of stopping anyone from scoring. However, perception isn’t always reality. In the postseason, the purple and gold has been a respectable defensive team with […]

Derrick White focused on having fun through shooting struggles

PHILADELPHIA — Derrick White went through his usual extended shootaround routine on Thursday in Philadelphia. He practiced set shots, mid-rangers, floater and mixed in some high-arcing ones.

How the 76ers exposed Celtics’ drop coverage

For the first time this season, the Celtics allowed their opponents an efficiency above 70% on both layups and floaters. This wasn’t caused by a high transition volume, but rather by a half-court defensive collapse. The Sixers posted a 1.19 points-per-possession efficiency in non-transition situations, their third-highest mark of the season. Only Washington and Chicago […]

Celtics played their worst basketball at the worst time. Can they respond?

BOSTON — To say that Tuesday’s Game 5 between the Celtics and 76ers was ugly is a massive understatement. The Celtics missed 14 consecutive field goals to close out the game, got outscored by 17 points in the fourth quarter, and watched their own fans file out with several minutes left in the ball game.
