Honestly have no idea what we’re arguing about anymore.
Betting on himself this season didn’t go nearly as well as Quentin Grimes may have hoped. A tumultuous restricted free agency saw him return to the Sixers on only the $6 million dollar qualifying offer in hopes of scoring a better deal the following offseason. He started well, averaging 17 points per game, shooting 44.8% […]
An emergency appendectomy. Just 10 days before the start of the playoffs. If you had to guess which player it happened to, you’d say “Joel Embiid” before someone even asked. Just another bizarre and unfortunate moment for a player whose career has been derailed by them. But for one night, there was no talk of […]

We’re not going anywhere just yet. The Sixers stole another one in Boston, winning Game 5 113-97 to send the series back to Philly at 3-2. Joel Embiid found himself in the third quarter, leading all scorers with 33 points shooting 12-of-23 from the field along with four rebounds and eight assists. Tyrese Maxey was much […]

Celtics in five was probably the most commonly predicted outcome of this first-round series between Boston and Philadelphia. As the series returns to Beantown for the fifth game on Tuesday night, it’s certainly looking like that outcome will come to fruition after the Sixers laid another egg, this time on their home floor, in the […]
The Philadelphia 76ers’ 2025-26 season could be approaching its swan song, with the Boston Celtics just one win away from closing out the first-round playoff series and eliminating the Sixers. Though, to be fair, I think “swan songs” are supposed to be beautiful or brilliant. This feels quite far from that. The Sixers trail the […]
It was always going to take a lot for the Sixers to pull off a first-round upset over the second-seeded Boston Celtics. They were going to have to make the rebounding battle look respectable, which they haven’t done. They were going to have to keep Boston’s role players in check, which they haven’t done. Their […]
Everything you need to know about Game 4 of the Sixers-Celtics series was encapsulated in a single Boston possession late in the first quarter. Jayson Tatum missed a three-pointer, and teammate Baylor Scheierman tracked down the offensive rebound. And well, OK, it happens. But then the ball found its way to the C’s Nikola Vucevic, […]

As we saw in Game 1, playing poorly while missing every shot possible is a bad combination. The Sixers got blown out again 128-96 by the Boston Celtics in Game 4 Sunday night, falling to a 3-1 series deficit. In his first game back since appendectomy surgery, Joel Embiid looked like the only Sixer ready […]

And we do this dance again. Another injury report has dropped ahead of Game 4 of the Sixers first round playoff series against the Boston Celtics, and for it they have again listed Joel Embiid as doubtful with appendectomy surgery recovery. Embiid had this same designation ahead of Game 3 before eventually being ruled out. […]

The Philadelphia 76ers will get a chance at home to even their first-round playoff series against the Boston Celtics on Sunday in Game 4. The Celtics were able to reclaim the series lead on Friday, going up 2-1 after defeating the hosting Sixers in Game 3. It was a much closer affair though than Boston’s […]
Game 1 had been a Boston blowout. Game 2 had featured a barrage by the Sixers’ bumptious backcourt. But Friday’s Game 3? That looked and felt like playoff games often tend to look and feel, especially those between ancient rivals like Boston and Philadelphia. It was a night that saw Sixers forward Paul George take […]

Rebounds, got to grab those, guys. The Sixers fell short 108-100 to the Boston Celtics in Game 3 Friday night, falling down 2-1 in the series. Tyrese Maxey, off an electric third quarter, led all scorers with 31 shooting 12-of-31 from the floor along with six assists. Paul George shot it well once he started […]

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 […]
Well, that was some turnaround. After an absolute disaster in Game 1, the Sixers improved in just about every way possible to beat the Celtics in Game 2, 111-97. Now, heading into Game 3, there’s even some promise for a Joel Embiid return. If not Friday, then soon, as he’s officially listed as doubtful. It’s […]
After an upset win in Boston in Game 2 of the opening round of the NBA Playoffs, the Sixers could have reinforcements on the way as the series turns to South Philadelphia. The Sixers said on Thursday afternoon that Joel Embiid participated “in parts” of practice the day before the team’s Game 3 matchup with […]
Does anyone actually think the Sixers are going to beat the Celtics in this first round series after their Game 2 win in Boston? It’s still a long shot and Philadelphia is still a heavy underdog despite having claimed home-court advantage with its resounding victory in Game 2 on Tuesday night. No one’s arguing with […]
