“This is not a rivalry. I don’t know our record against them, but it’s pretty bad. They always kick our ass.” – Joel Embiid
Allow me to paint the brutal reality of the Philadelphia 76ers facing the Boston Celtics, tonight, Joel. Tonight, the Sixers resume this budding rivalry that isn’t much of a rivalry as Embiid himself has said after the 105-87 loss in October.
The Sixers lost to the Celtics again 121-114 in overtime on Christmas Day then again on February 12th, 112-109. Add those two losses to the grand total over the last five years, and including playoff games, the Sixers are 3-21 against Boston.
