The Celtics-76ers game was a beautiful disaster
Typically, there’s quite a bit of juice heading into a Boston Celtics vs. Philadelphia 76ers matchup. The rivalry, though very one-sided, has been active over the past several seasons and has produced some excellent games.
Thursday...well, Thursday was a bit of an “anomaly” (that nickname sucks, please stop pushing it. It’s awful). It was clear that we weren’t in store for the typical Celtics/Sixers matchup when the injury report featured a combined 11 players who were listed as out.
I’m sure TNT was thrilled to have the broadcast rights to this one, folks.
To be honest, they should’ve been thrilled because this game rocked — just not in the traditional way.
