Sixers' ugly ball delivers them Game 7 date with Celtics in East semifinal The Celtics have found themselves in a winner-take-all Game 7 against the scrappy Sixers. Ugly Celtics Return to Send Boston to Game 7: A Fan's Analysis The Philadelphia 76ers were supposed to be finished off by the Boston Celtics long ago. Instead, Sixers fans like myself are getting ready for a Game 7 on May 26, and few can understand why. The Celtics can probably barely understand themselves, given how they have dominated the Sixers at various points in this series - except for those times when they didn't. Celtics Need to Finish 76ers Right Now: A Fan's Preview The Philadelphia 76ers still entertain hopes of upsetting the Boston Celtics, even if those hopes are dwindling. Sixers fans like myself are in no position to take moral victories right now, yet a solid showing in Game 6 - win or lose - would be better than their last two humiliating defeats. But the Celtics can't afford to give the Sixers that much, since they've already wasted enough energy. Recap: 76ers 82, Celtics 75 Celtics coach Doc Rivers is fond of calling the NBA a "make-miss league.'' But the Celtics and 76ers turned it into a "miss-miss'' playoff game Wednesday night, the Sixers heating up enough in the final quarter to take an 82-75 victory. Celtics again fail to close the deal Celtics again lack finishing touch as Sixers force Game 7. Celtics Rondo quieted by 76ers With his Boston Celtics holding a chance to clinch their Eastern Conference semifinal series Wednesday night against the 76ers, Doc Rivers was asked if he felt his team was relaxed entering the Wells Fargo Center. Celtics' Bradley (shoulder) out for Game 6 Boston Celtics shooting guard Avery Bradley is out for Wednesday's Game 6 of the team's Eastern Conference semifinal series against the Philadelphia 76ers due to the shoulder issues that sidelined him from Game 5. Celtics' Bradley Likely Done For Playoffs With a report saying it's "highly likely" Celtics guard Avery Bradley is done the rest of the playoffs, Boston has another hurdle to jump over in this postseason run. Heat Big Winner with 76ers-Celtics Game 7: A Fan's Take The Philadelphia 76ers won big in Game 6 on May 23 to stave off elimination from the Boston Celtics. While Sixers fans like myself celebrate getting one last shot in Boston, however, another set of fans and another team are likely even happier. That team is the Miami Heat, who haven't quite clinched a berth in the Eastern Conference finals, yet will now have to feel even better if/when they do. Boston Celtics at Philadelphia 76ers, Eastern Semis Game 6: Fan Playoff Preview The Boston Celtics played with purpose in Game 5 against the Philadelphia 76ers knowing their season was on the line. While a 2-2 tie in a best of seven series may not seem like pressure, a win puts the team just a game away while a loss puts the team's back against the wall, especially with Game 6 to be played on the road.
