Joel Embiid admits he is tired of losing to the Boston Celtics in the Playoffs

Joel Embiid admits he is tired of losing to the Boston Celtics in the Playoffs. The Philadelphia 76ers have forced a do-or-die Game 7 in their first-round series against the Celtics, marking one of the most impressive comebacks of this year's postseason. Embiid’s return in Game 4 has reignited the team’s momentum, and they are now close to overcoming one of their fiercest rivals. Embiid has lost three series to the Celtics in his career and is determined to finally defeat them. While the 76ers have won individual games, they have never beaten the Celtics in a series. The last time the 76ers defeated the Celtics in the playoffs was in the 1982 Eastern Conference Finals, a rare occurrence in NBA history. The Celtics have dominated over their Eastern Conference rival for years. Embiid wants to push further in the Playoffs this season, especially in Game 7, despite playing away from home. He believes the team has the opportunity to achieve something special, citing the Celtics’ strength as a top-tier team. Embiid emphasized his frustration with the Celtics’ dominance, stating, 'I've been playing these guys for so long. I'm tired of losing to them. We have a chance to accomplish something special.' He expects to be the standout player in Game 7, supported by a strong roster including Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe, and Paul George.
