[Highlight] A “WE WANT BOSTON!” chant just broke out in Philadelphia
In your own crib is crazy
The fuck embiid chant in Philly two years ago is still one of the best things I’ve ever seen
I mean that COULD be some Philly fans
Same city where the arena piped in boos directed at Carson Wentz, their own qb
It’s funny you single out Wentz specifically lol, you could probably replace his name with 80% of Philly players and the sentence still is true.
Or Santa Claus
That one makes sense though. All the bells on his sleigh are in tact. Philly fans hate that.
Damn man, I feel like Carson Wenz has just been unnecessarily bullied his entire career. lol
Even early in his tenure he was not without his faults, and he was being a real weiner towards the end of his time on the eagles.
That said, his contributions to the team’s first super bowl are not appreciated anywhere near as much as they should be, and he gave the vikings everything he had last season.
Also fuck Jadaveon Clowney
He also was a confirmed locker room cancer the year after the superbowl according to former players like Darren sproles
nah darren sproles was toxic as hell to wentz, a bad mentor
he and wentz were both out for the season, and wentz opened up to sproles while rehabbing and said smth like “theres a part of me that doesn’t want the team to succeed without me”
obviously a selfish thing to say, but also an understandable emotion for the second overall pick to work through. he was being vulnerable with a 10+ year vet, looking for mentorship, and sproles just told the whole locker room about it
kinda fucked

Philly arena is just Boston cheap seats
Top New England tips
Philly arena gets overran by boston and NY teams
The Acela line makes travel from DC to Boston ( and Philly/NYC in-between) very easy.
There’s more Boston fans than Philly fans. Even the t-shirt giveaway people are trying to find Philly fans to give away free Sixer swag but there are so many Celtic fans ROFL.
Boston fans are just willing to spend far more to watch the 6ers get stomped than 6ers fans are willing to spend to watch the 6ers get stomped.
I looked, I’m not spending $400+ to bring the family to watch a beat down. They can watch life do that to me for free right at home.
lol. that last sentence man. can I venmo you some beer money?
The cause of and solution to all of life’s problems.
There were a ton of Boston guys. The cheers during the 1st quarter when our bench was cooking was wild.
I was listening over headphones and had to look at my phone because they said PP scored, but I heard cheers. Thought the announcers messed up the call lmao
Yeah, I was very confused but loved it.
There are barely any Philly ones there based on how many green jerseys there are in the crowd…
Yeah dude they’re down fucking 30.
Did they leave the arena in the fourth and immediately find Celtics fans to give their tickets to?
Game 4 nonetheless. I don’t know how you recover from this.
Philly is a lot of things, but they are very self aware
Tatum deadass has home court advantage in Philly
Sixers-Celtics is one of the most humiliating things I’ve seen.
Sixer Celtics Warriors Blazers Cavs Raptors
Some top tier 1 sided beefs
Don’t you jinx me like that. It’s gettin spooky right now and I’m now used to Toronto scaring me
You just need to get Lebron in his 5th prime.
Don’t forget Celtics (9) Lakers (3)
Raps vs Cavs was more of a Lebron Vs Raps thing. When I see the Cavs I dont get scared, but when I see Lebron in any jersey, I get Lebronto flashbacks.
LeBrons runner bank shot for the win in 2018 was so fucking sick. I think about it randomly still. Such a difficult shot.
I think about it too sometimes. Then I wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat.
I’m not exaggerating when I say that the 2018 series is the closest thing I have to PTSD. Sometimes I hear phantom fish grease crackling noises in my kitchen and my fight or flight kicks in.
Warriors denying the Kings a playoff spot multiple times has to be up there
Warriors rockets too
I have borderline Stockholm syndrome at this point. I find myself hating other teams more than the Celtics when they easily used to be my least favorite. I’ve accepted they’re our daddy and focus my hate towards the Thunder and Knicks.
In fairness, it’s really hard to focus my hatred on the Lakers, Sixers, and Heat when the Thunder and Knicks exist. Also, find myself hating the Rockets more than the Lakers this series due to how absolutely pathetic the Rockets have conducted themselves. Just a disgrace. I hate them for not beating the Lakers more than I hate the Lakers right now.
Exactly! Fuck the Knicks, let’s go daddy Celtics
Brady Patriots vs. Buffalo is worse
Belichick vs. the Jets too
Let’s be fair though, this season its a 2 seed vs 7 seed matchup.
Philly was never supposed to win this one.
Philly would never beat Boston regardless of seeding. We’ve been bitching them since the ‘80s.
Hilarious that he said this years ago and it still holds true
It had already been true for over 30 years when he said it. No reason for it to change, lol
I genuinely still have them 3rd on the rivalry list (after LA and Miami) just because I want to be damn sure we beat them every time
“They’ve never beaten us in a 9 game series.” - Philly Fans.
Let’s go 12 and see who wins 😤
Cowards are scared of a 99 game series because deep down they know nobody will take 45 games on Philly
r/theydidntdothemath
I didn’t hear no bell!!!
Dammit you cant leave pics here?!? I made a Stan Marsh im sorry I thought this was Philly pic on my phone. God dammit
Philly really has the most loyal and most traitorous fans in sports.
Truly a fandom that will abandon their team like no other.
It’s just sixers fans, Phillies were still popular when they were winning 60 games and obviously eagles fandom is ravenous
tbh you’re not wrong. Just not a basketball town I guess.
It really isn’t. Obviously it’s a football city first, but the love the Phillies and even the Flyers right now are getting in their first playoff success in a long while is levels above what the Sixers got during this eras playoff wins. There’s always a certain pessimism about the Sixers
Unless you’re in the 80s Philly, basketball is the 4th sport
Flyers tickets are a lot cheaper than Sixers tickets. And the attendance is still lower
This is absolutely false. I have tickets for both. And even on reselling websites, flyers tickets are consistently 3x the price of comparable sixers tickets
Just not a basketball town I guess.
Which just feels & sounds sacrilegious for a team that gave the NBA Dr. J, Allen Iverson, Wilt, Billy Cunningham and Moses Malone.
Bullshit, before the new ballpark they were running insane promos just to get anyone to show up for the Phillies. \(2 tickets, \)1 hotdogs, etc.
That was 23 years ago, FYI. Someone born on the day Veterans Stadium was imploded is of legal drinking age now.
Doesn’t matter, point still stands. When Philly teams suck the fans don’t show up in support like in the fairytale I called out. Even the Sixers were averaging 6000 empty seats a game for a couple seasons within the last decade.
Phillies fans are notorious for booing their own team
Abandon their team like no other? You have no clue how Philly fandom works, man. We may doubt our team’s ability a lot (for the sixers) but not a single person that is a true Philly sports fan abandons the team.
You have no clue how Philly fandom works, man
I mean, the same way as it works basically everywhere. When the team is good everyone’s all on board, when it’s not only the diehards remain. Sixers are just notable here because as soon as the Sixers get into a bad stretch the team immediately dips to the bottom of league attendance.
Sixers were second in total attendance last year
We dip to the bottom of attendance? I’d like to see numbers on that because I’ve been there during terrible seasons and we always seem to show up.
Maybe you need to turn the volume on for this? 🤷♂️
It’s Boston fans chanting. I was at game 3 and the same thing happened. And it looks like there’s more green in the stands at game 4 than the game I went to
That was Boston fans who took over the arena.
I don’t even have a dog in this fight, but if Celtics fans outnumber 6ers fans in their home arena what does that imply about 6ers fans?
I wasn’t at the game to see the breakdown, but I’m pretty confident to say that Boston didn’t outnumber Sixers fans. They were just louder because they were blowing the sixers out.
Name a fandom that loudly cheers for their team while down more than 20 points?
Wtf do you want them to do? Applaud this pathetic performance?
Fans aren’t supposed to be cheerleaders
These are Boston fans chanting this though.
Pantsing them and the underwear came down too
Atleast no one stole them
And baby it’s cold outside
I WAS IN A POOL!
idk how you guys walk around with those things
THERE WAS SHRINKAGE
Jokic knows that feeling
Down right dastardly
Diabolical even
straight dubious
Nefarious I might add
Indubitably.
Dick Dastardly
Damn in your home arena. I know this has to hurt
They’re used to it. They don’t have a home arena when playing another East Coast team
You guys turning that into MSG South a couple years ago was wild. Craziest shit I’ve ever heard.
Happens every time they play. Tickets are like 4 times cheaper than at MSG
The Moon Landing was cheaper than tickets at MSG.
Yeah the actual Knick’s fans can only afford an Acela and sixers tickets. They get beat out of their own arena by finance bros lol
At least they got the Flyers. Their fans somehow always show out no matter who they’re playing.
Well would you want to piss off Gritty?
Nice of Embiid to come back and remind everybody this isn’t a rivalry. Philly looked a little too good without him.
The style of basketball they were playing without embiid gave us problems, Really thankful they are slowing the game down for us.
I promise you adem bona and andre drummond were not the reasons you shot 13-50 from 3 in game 2
yeah it really gave y’all problems when we lost two out of three and one of those losses by 40
One of them was a game that came down to the wire though and game 2 was a double digit Philly win. Offense looked noticeably slower with Embiid
Embiid was not good tonight but people really bend over backwards to shit on him lmao
Dude none of it matters. We can’t rebound and all you do is shoot threes(with people who can make them) It’s a recipe for disaster. The variances will never equal out to us having a chance at winning 4 times
He saw his buddy Nikola taking a lot of heat and decided to jump in the line of fire
MVP solidarity
[deleted]
it’s Embiid’s fault Pritchard and Tatum shot 11-22 from three
Embiid had 10 first quarter points and everyone else combined for 8 and we were down 16
Ewing Theory prime example
“they always kick our ass”
It’s so loud lmao
CELT TO ASS!!!
time to spread
takes a sniff
cmon
Found Embiid’s reddit account
Jesus christ 😂
brutal
Generational trauma kicking in
epigenetic trauma at this point since it’s a repeated environmental stressor
You know what. Shocked they got one game on us. Good for them.
To be fair Embiid wasn’t playing that game to slow them down lol. It would be a sweep if he played the whole series
“Thank god for Hockey” - Charles Barkley
holy shit mocking their chant in their own house….diabolical
Boston fans in the Sixers crowd yelling “We Want Boston” while the Sixers get annihilated is nasty work.
You gotta wonder how many casual Philly fans started joining in on the chant
I personally never wanna turn down a good chant.
This makes it even funnier, how many sixers fans are in there unwittingly mocking themselves?
I promise you, any Sixer fan who joined that chant knew exactly what they were doing.
Agreed. It’s really not that serious

Funny thing is he said this after he had only lost to the Celts in the postseason once
He knows his basketball history at least
Jesus fucking Christ was that really 7 years ago
Is today the anniversary? Now it says 8 years ago LMFAO
I wish I can like it again
Eagles season starts soon.
Imagine the center rotation they could pay without Embiid eating a third of their cap sheet
Bona and Drummond were giving them really good minutes all series until tonight. Embiid threw everything off.
Bona is buns wtf are you smoking? Dude makes silly bone headed plays, Fouls alot and not a threat offensively, Can’t blame Embiid for anything
Its not Bona. Its rhe Embid being the #1 option takes the ball.out of Maxeys hands.
Bro no fucking way you just said that lmao you must’ve been watching the wrong series
Imo Bona is a good 3rd string, maybe a decent back-up depending on if they continue to lean into tonnes of high PnR with the guards they’ve got.
But imagine throwing a bag at Duren if he becomes a RFA, and stealing Ware from the heat. I’d love that for them
Should probably call it Tatum Arena at this point. He owns them.
Al Horford Court at Tatum Arena.
It still blows my mind how great Al was for his whole career, went to Philly and was bad, came back and was great again.
I mean, Philly’s management is kind of infamous for trying to fit square pegs into round holes. Signing him only helped make Boston briefly weaker, but he wasn’t made for their team as it was composed at the time.
I’m pretty sure those are a lot of Celtics fans chanting that
yes its all Celtics fans.. Mocking the sixers for chanting it earlier.
Exactly. You can see a lot of green in the crowd
glad you got to the bottom of that
Thank you. My skills here are no longer needed so I’ll see myself out.
Shout-out to all the fans – Celtics, Sixers, and others alike – who thought Embiid’s return would spell trouble for us.
You’re all genuine fucking morons.
Oh my god I thought this was Sixers fans self-deprecating, which would’ve been great. But now I’m realizing it’s Celtics fans in the away arena chanting that. Wowwwww
Bro sixers getting tea bagged in front of their wives and kids 💀
Embiid getting embarrassed by the Celtics every year is the funniest thing
Absolutely brutal
Trolling the trolls.
So happy for Celtics fans. Between the C’s, Patriots, Sox and Bruins it must be so hardddd to go through a couple of consecutive seasons without winning a championship
Have you seen the Sox this year? The pain knows no bounds.
Bruins are consistently ass in the playoffs, so at least there’s that
Celtics Porn
I nearly prematurely confetti’d.
Nasty, nasty work lol
The kid in the background in the Celtics jersey realizing what’s going on getting excited and then yelling it too was awesome
Lol, lmao even
What part of the process is this now?
Definitely past depression and just acceptance now lol
It’s not a rivalry. They always kick our ass.”
What does that mean
It means Philly is still waiting for the playoffs to start.
Lmaoooooo go off
Those are the Boston fans lol
That’s right! Run your mouths before the series started, get your ASSES KICKED IN by 32 points TWICE in the same series. Who’s your Daddy Philly?!?!?!!! YOU GOT BOSTON!!!!☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️
After all the arena BS this past year and Josh Harris being an Epstein homie, is it really shocking that most of the fans don’t even show for these games?
Fun reminder that PG & Embiid are both signed through 2028 at silly numbers.
Harris will wake up from his Commanders loving slumber and do something like fire Morey & Nurse, and then go away again. Just like he does with the Devils, who are also a mess.
There are times where one must simply tip their cap to Celtics fans 😂😂 not always but sometimes
Most here weren’t even alive the last time the 76ers beat the Celtics in a series.
I’m surprised it’s only been 7 series since 1982
Seems like they play every year and the Celtics win lol
Boston just blew through phili
I might be particularly slow tonight for some reason but I don’t get it? They’re already playing Boston (and getting their ass kicked?)
It’s the Boston fans trolling the Sixers fans. Because the Sixers fans were chanting that when they won the play-in game.
Oooh I get it now thanks. Didn’t know the context behind that.
76ers shd let go of PG and Embiid to begin with
At least we have the Flyers
Orlando clearly didn’t. Lucky them i guess 🤣
I find it hilarious watching Philly fans shit on their own team.
The 76ers have no business being competitive in this series even with Embiid, but it’s just funny watching their fans hate their own team.
Inject this into my veins
insert Randy Marsh “I didnt hear no bell” gif
Diabolical
This is so beautiful I have watched this for five hours now
If they were feeling based they’d get a We want AJ chant going
Going out fucking SAD
Since 1982
The process continues to bear meme fruit.
