Celtics get bad Jayson Tatum news ahead of Game 7

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. Tatum was initially planning on playing after missing the final 15 minutes of Thursday’s Game 6 in Philadelphia, but was listed […]

Jayson Tatum now Questionable for Game 7 in Boston

Game 7 between Philadelphia and Boston is currently hours away and as everyone waits with bated breath for what could be a historic contest, a new wrinkle has emerged in the buildup to the game. For once, it isn’t the Sixers with a surprise change to the injury report, as Boston Celtics star forward Jayson […]

Somebody will make a name for himself in Game 7. Just ask World B. Free

In another year and another Sixers-Celtics Game 7, the Artist Formerly Known as Lloyd Free was determined to make a name for himself. One of ‘em, anyway. He is known now as World B. Free. Has been since December 1981, when he legally changed his name midway through a 13-year run as a freewheeling, shoot-first-and-ask-questions-later […]

Heroes or heartbreak await in Game 7

Game Seven. Two of the most heart-pumping words in all of sports. Under any circumstances, the Philadelphia 76ers playing a win-or-go-home game with the season on the line would make for an edge-of-your-seat viewing experience. However, tonight has the added element of coming against the rival Boston Celtics, with all of the history that entails. […]

Celtics should learn a lesson from their bench

The Boston Celtics are collapsing in on themselves, now having dropped back-to-back games against the Philadelphia 76ers. What was supposed to be a quick series for Boston has now turned into a slog, with Philly bouncing back from a 3-1 deficit to force a Game 7. It’s do-or-die time. No more second chances. The Celtics […]

Does changing the rotation matter?

Joe Mazzulla has stuck to his guns with his starting lineup and who he plays off of the bench. Well, expect a for at center but that is a different story. The Celtics have started the same five of Derrick White, Jaylen Brown, Sam Hauser, Jayson Tatum and Neemias Queta in all 6 games of […]

Celtics share injury report ahead of Game 7 vs 76ers

BOSTON — The Celtics will be at full strength when they face the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday night for Game 7. Jayson Tatum, who did not play in the final 15 minutes of Game 6, is not on the injury report. Tatum exited the game with four minutes left in the third quarter and briefly […]

Where’s the fun? (Feed Post of the Day)

I thought this post from Beeeater58 in The Feed was well done and timely. Agree with the sentiment about expectations. The Celtics won fewer games this year than they did the prior year (coming off a title), but it was so much more fun because we didn’t have expectations. Then we won all those games […]

5 Sixers thoughts after they force a Game 7 in Boston

Game 6 was a dream I never want to wake up from. As the Sixers have forced a Game 7 in Boston against the heavily favored Celtics, I’ll share a new “5 Sixers thoughts” column with you all… My Paul George apology form I hated the Paul George contract before the ink even dried on […]

Paul George is proving his worth in this series

While the Sixers went into their round one series against the Boston Celtics not knowing whether Joel Embiid would be available for it, they did have something they haven’t in their previous three playoff matchups against Boston: wings to throw at their stars. Paul George and Kelly Oubre Jr. possess enough length, speed and strength […]

For the Celtics to win Game 7, they’ll have to play like the Celtics

Over the last five quarters of this series, I haven’t recognized this version of the Celtics. While there have been flashes, they haven’t consistently looked like the team that got them here. So far in these playoffs, Boston has the third-highest isolation frequency among playoff teams. For a roster built around depth and decision-making, that […]

Comments from the Other Side - 76ers Game 6 4/30/26

 Another disappointing effort from the Celtics.  Too much hero ball.  Too little effort on defense and rebounds.  Sixers fans are still awful.  They really hate their own team almost more than they do the Celtics.  Hopefully the Celtics wake up and come to play on Saturday.  They are definitely the more talented team but are allowing the 76ers to play harder.  All is not lost though.  The 2008 team went to Game 7 in both of the first 2 rounds and st...

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 […]

Friday’s Brotherhood Playoff News & Links

It wasn’t a good day for the Brotherhood Thursday in the NBA playoffs. Jayson Tatum and Boston lost to Philadelphia, 106-93. That series is now tied 3-3. Minnesota eliminated Tyus Jones and the Denver Nuggets with a 110-98 win in Game 6. And New York eliminated Atlanta, also in Game 6, but this was more […]

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 […]
