Photo by Maddie Meyer/ The Boston superstar was tossed in the third quarter vs. Philadelphia on Friday night. Pit against a Joel Embiid-less, Tyrese Maxey-less Philadelphia 76ers squad, the Boston Celtics dragged their feet through the mud. For the first half of the game, they struggled with turnovers and allowed the short-handed Sixers free reign in the painted area. Philadelphia dropped 72 points in the first half, by far the most Boston has allowed in a single half this year. Led by Patrick Beverley and De’Anthony Melton, the 76ers were getting under the...

Celtics defeat shorthanded 76ers 125-119 despite Tatum’s third quarter ejection
Photo by Maddie Meyer/ Al Horford scored a season-high 20 points, Derrick White had 21, and the Celtics executed down the stretch to pull away from an Embiid and Maxey-less 76ers team. When ESPN first scheduled the 76ers-Celtics game for a Friday night national TV matchup, the network likely envisioned a showdown between several of the league’s brightest stars — Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and Kristaps Porzingis. But, by the end of the game, Brown was the only player of those five on the court. Shortly before tipoff, Embiid and Maxey...

Embiid-Maxey two-man game looking more and more lethal
Photo by David Dow/NBAE via It’s only 17 games into season, but the Joel Embiid-Tyrese Maxey two-man game looks borderline unstoppable. When the Sixers were attempting to lure JJ Redick to Philly in free agency back in 2017, then-head coach Brett Brown’s pitch was simple: The two-man game between Redick and second-year big man Joel Embiid could be unstoppable. Brown wasn’t wrong. Redick and Embiid put defenses through hell in their two seasons together.
