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. Tyrese Maxey was brilliant from start to finish, leading all scorers with 30 points, shooting 11-of-22 from the floor along […]

The Sixers can still win with this version of Joel Embiid
Imagine not being able to enjoy Joel Embiid’s fantastic Game 5 performance in Boston. Surely, Sixers fans have been emotionally fatigued after nearly a decade of not getting out of the second round with a slew of different roster iterations centered around Embiid. After last season’s debacle, many of them likely resigned to the team […]
With Joel Embiid back and dominating, Sixers have real shot at forcing Game 7
Just when you think the season looks like it’s over, they pull you right back in. After a close loss in Game 3 and getting trounced in Game 4, the Sixers came back with a vengeance to take Game 5 on the road in Boston, winning 113-97. It took until the start of the fourth […]
Sixers finally got the two-way play they needed from Quentin Grimes
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% […]
Joel Embiid’s toughness on full display in gutty Game 5 performance
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 […]

They’re not done yet — led by Joel Embiid, Sixers take another game in Boston to force Game 6
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 […]

Sixers must show some fight in Game 5
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 […]
Sixers’ season on the brink Tuesday as Celtics host Game 5
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 […]
On top of being outplayed, the Sixers simply can’t make shots
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 […]
Sleepwalking Sixers pushed around on the boards and pushed to the brink
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, […]

Joel Embiid returns but Sixers get crushed in Game 4, face elimination
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 […]

Game 4 injury report: Joel Embiid, Kelly Oubre Jr. both available
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. […]

Embiid status up in the air as Sixers look for another bounce back in Game 4 vs. Celtics
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 […]
Little things loom large in Sixers’ Game 3 loss to Celtics
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 […]

Sixers show plenty of fight but fall to 2-1 series deficit after tough Game 3 loss to Celtics
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 […]
