The Philadelphia 76ers have forced a do-or-die Game 7 in their first-round series against the Boston Celtics. It has been one of the most impressive comebacks of this year's postseason, driven by a team-wide effort from the 76ers. Joel Embiid, the superstar center, has been the catalyst for this comeback, with his return in Game 4 sparking something within the team. He is ready to finally get the Celtics off his back, having lost three series to them in his career. The 76ers franchise has not beaten the Celtics in a postseason series since the 1982 Eastern Conference Finals, marking a rare dominance shift in the NBA.
Embiid expressed frustration, stating he is tired of losing to the Celtics. He believes they have a chance to accomplish something special, noting that the Celtics are a great team. Embiid wants to be the standout player in Game 7, supported by a strong roster including Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe, and Paul George. The game will be challenging as they play away from home, but the 76ers have shown they can win high-stakes games over the past two games.
