The Boston Celtics did battle with the Philadelphia 76ers for the 3rd and final time in the 2020-2021 NBA Regular Season. This would be the 1st time this season the Celtics would play the 76ers with all of their main stars available as in the previous 2 meetings the Celtics had to play without the services of Jayson Tatum but they did still have Kemba Walker, Jaylen Brown and Marcus Smart in both of the first 2 matchups. After losing the first 2 matchups by a combined 20 points the Celtics would go into this game knowing it would be their last chance to prove to their fanbase they can beat this years verson of Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers. However despite movie being filmed in a new location with some new supporting stars the main stars for Philly again outshined the main stars for Boston in this 3rd and final matchup as the 76ers were victorious 106-96 in a game that saw the 76ers outscore the Celtics by 13 points at the free throw line as the 76ers took more then double the free throws that the Cetics took as the 76ers took 39 free throws making 29 of them while the Celtics took only 18 free throws making 16. So now how should Celtics fans feel about the Celtics. When looking at the 3 main teams in the Eastern Conference in the Brooklyn Nets, Philadelphia 76ers and the Milwaukee Bucks the Celtics are now 2-6 having lost all 3 games to the 76ers with no more matchups to go, winning the season series over the Milwaukee Bucks with 2 wins to 1 loss, then the Celtics have 1 more game to go with the Nets having lost both games already this season. So with Bobby Krivitsky we will discuss the last week of Boston Celtics action including that loss to the 76ers and discuss where the Celtics now stand in the Eastern Conference and if it may just be time for fans to accept that we are likely headed for the play in tournament rather then a top 4 seed in the East
