A “WE WANT BOSTON” chant has broken out in Philadelphia again, this time by Sixers fans
if the score holds and we get a game 7 it’s gonna be must see tv
massive respect to boston that we are still nervous about losing with the time left tbh lol
Dude we were up 17 I thought the reserves were gonna run it all the way back
I wasn’t confident until like 2 min left lmao
The way Mazzulla had his scrubs throwing their bodies at our starters trying to knock them out of game 7 was scary hours for sure.
You think Mazulla ordered his scrubs to knock out players for game 7?
Yeah, Tatum hears that shit, and then he evolves
never forget when he was a 0 game 6 first half 2-3 years ago then just cooked us lmao
He’s texting Kobe rn
LOL ok
You mean Brown? If Tatum is your best player you aren’t winning shit. The Celtics live or die by Brown. Even when they won the finals
Only team in the league that got a better bench than their starting lineup
I got two words for you, Jayson Tatum and Joel Embiid, must-see TV!
That’s more than 2 words!
You didn’t say “2 words”, you just said “quick and to the point”
Fine, “Tatum and Embiid”
That’s three words
Y’all gonna count “and” as a word!?
“That’s three words.”
Game 7 is basically guaranteed at this point
Celtics recent playoff history is so interesting.
Despite dominantly winning the title in 2024 they’ve had duds all over the place. Went down 0-3 to the play-in Heat in 2023, lost as historical favorites vs NY in 2024. Pushed to 7 by Philly despite to everyone thinking they would easily win in 2026
where’s the thread from earlier this week that said 76ers lost to every version of the Celtics?
Props to them for this game but they haven’t won this series yet
But that thread said that Boston already won this series
they only won in 2024 because they played the heat without Butler, Pacers without Haliburton and Cavs without Mitchell and Allen to get to the finals where they played a 5 seed
Fuck, why didn’t every other team just beat the other teams in their conference and the winner of the opposite conference.
And they were allowed to play as physical as possible against a team reliant on one player.
I mean, what was a 5 seed doing in the Finals, was that all luck too? There’s no championship without some good fortune along the way, it’s silly to try and pretend like they didn’t earn it.
Also an injured Luka in the finals

I am not sure where this 2022 talent stuff come from when it was the j’s first finals run. Not to mention it was warriors who were favored by Vegas, the only place where the celtics were considered to have a chance was by espn. “Talent” lmaoo
Pushed to 7 by Philly despite to everyone thinking they would easily win in 2026
I mean, that Philly team was good though, might have been Embid’s best year (he did win MVP after all). I don’t think there was any shame in that going seven games. The Heat we should have beaten though (and I think we complete the reverse sweep if Tatum doesn’t get hurt in the opening minute of Game 7).
I’m talking about being pushed to 7 this year vs Philly
2026
Oh, my bad. Yeah, we played around and found out. We were en route to destroying them in Game 2 but left the foot off the gas, then in Game 5 we did the same thing after taking that 13 point lead in the 3rd quarter.
i would legitimately be surprised if they lose this game but you never know lmao
Bostons already sat their starters. It’s over
Josh smith and Trevor ariza intensifies
I got two words for ya
Tatum
Embiid
Must. See. TV!
Three words: Jayson Tatum Tyrese Maxey Must See TV
Steve Nash and Chris Paul
Thanks magic
Regardless the city of philadelphia is burning down that night
I feel like every time we think that, it end up in a blowout game.
The sole Saturday night game too. Silver is probably getting hammered right now
It is
Love this rivalry lmao this is hilarious
Northeast sports rivalries are unmatched
The whole division hates each other lol
There was a post a few years ago that was like “which division has the best rivalries” and every post was “are you kidding it’s the Atlantic and it’s not even close”
It’ll always be the trifecta rivalry of Boston, NYC and Philly. A generational rivalry between the 3.
Brother just leaving our Toronto vs Philly. That’s shit was the most fun, the aeroplane arms were elite.
The Boston to DC corridor is heavily populated and every team in pro sports hates at least multiple other teams in that corridor. There’s nothing else like it in the country
And sports are religion to all of us lol
Southeast clearly, they’re battling in the play in and draft all the time /s
I’m glad we’re finally better (for 3 straight years) than our “big” Floridian brother
For most of NBA history yes, right now I’d say OKC/Denver/Sota/Portland/Utah is giving them a strong run for their money
I am once again asking for a Pelicans x Thunder swap, Southwest will become a bigger hate hotbed if they do
Because the cities actually have been there long enough and have enough history that they feel the cities are rivals instead of ‘I like basketball more’
Philly please I’m begging you. I will never slander Embiid again if you beat these mfs. I NEED this Philly. You NEED this Philly.
Embiid does not fuck around when there’s a 2nd round exit at stake
Foul lmao
fk man
That’s cold blooded, man.
u just hate the celtics bc lakers celtics rivalry right? i dont see another angle for this for y’all here hahaha
Yes obviously. We are about to blow a 3-0 lead we need this at minimum
Lmfao like why else we here cmon
Shared love of VJ Maxx would have been my first guess, but the LA-Boston rivalry makes sense I guess.
Yeah, the next best thing if we can’t win is if Boston can’t win either.
Do you really think they’re gonna lose that series? I feel like they’re gonna squeak out 1 more win
We will be fine
Sir why would you do this
I got NUTS fam
You got Lakers fans rooting for a 3-1 comeback, 🤣
lol
I picked rockets for my bracket but I don’t wanna see the king lose a 3-0 lead b/c I’m gonna have to see it in every insufferable GOAT thread for the rest of my life. godspeed y’all lol
Just another accomplishment Jordan could never pull off.
LeBron always breaks a record in a loss, just saying
now u might just be onto something…..
We not about to blow a damn thing
If the Lakers end up the first team to blow a 3-0 lead I’m kind of ok with Boston losing this series lmao
Yes. I despise the Celtics more than any other team in any other sport
The only green I wear is under the brim of my snap backs.
I don’t even wear that. But sometimes it’s unavoidable I get it. Fuck the Celtics
Man if the Celtics, nuggets, and Thunder all get eliminated in these playoffs I’m honestly kinda chill on whoever wins.
Well my friend you got one of your wishes tonight
1 down
2 to go
As long as Boston loses I’m okay. Spurs championship might sting.
Oh you mean one of the biggest rivalries in American sports history? Oh yeah I figure that’s probably why…
My fault mang we hate them here bc of geographical closeness and I forgot about what was right in front of me for a second lol
Oh yeah the biggest rivalry in all of basketball
Fuck yes
Being a neutral nba fan must go insane right now 😭
And we get a follow up no matter who plays the Knicks lol yall take your city rivalries seriously and I’m here for it
I’m legit only rooting for Philly because it’s a closer drive for me to get to their arena since there’s no chance I’m affording a ticket at MSG.
I hate this, personally.
Stop that
Same
It does
It’s amazing. Can’t believe it’s round 1 lol
How are you a neutral nba fan
How am I not neutral when it comes to a matchup between 76ers and Celtics?
I think they meant for all the series that are going on rn
Tbf them and you are probably neutral for every actual series that’s going on. Not those exhibition games to stay in shape the thunder played
I’m not neutral. Celtics terrify me and I would prefer if you guys would beat them please
That doesn’t even make sense for Thunder fans, you just wanted to take a shot at the Suns lmao
Why doesn’t it make sense? They’re watching 2 weeks of stress free basketball right now. They have almost no stakes in all these series
Dawg, it is fucking amazing
Does it count as neutral if I hate you both?
But like, don’t you hate Boston just a little more?
It’s like the exact opposite of asking “which of your kids do you love more?”
Deep down there’s an answer, but for optics you have to say its equal.
Yes, but that’s not the point
Nope. Hate them both equally
the best kind of neutral
This the shit that I live for
Round 1 of this playoffs has been so good. Hell even the play-in games had some instant classics.
Gotta say, my favorite series so far
Thank you for taking away some of our pain.
I just want both teams to look better. Knicks had too much fun today and I didnt.
Huh? I want the Celtics and 6ers to find great form to beat you. No rage baiting. Normal hate.
One of us is definitely slow cause I’m not sure what you’re saying.
Its very entertaining
I would say yeah but the past 2 years has made me such a hater that I can’t even call myself a neutral fan
Playoff basketball is awesome. I hope to be a part of it someday
Living my best life rn
Getting manhandled by the appendixless Sixers is crazy
Fellow appendixless OG Anunoby went off tonight too! Coincidence? Who’s to say
new meta
Gonna become the new tommy john where guys are preemptively getting appendectomies to dominate in the playoffs.
I never knew preemptive Tommy John surgery was even a thing, lol. Doesn’t even seem like it should be legal, 😂.
Lmao
Appendixless Sixers LMAOOO😂
Deserved lmao, fuck the Celtics
Fuck the Celtics 🗣️
I was really hoping it would be a “WE WANT NEW YORK!” chant
No that would just be bad karma again. This is just getting back at cocky Celtics fans
Some Celtics fans here were talking like they were the eastern conference versions of OKC
Mfs were offended after that first chant went viral lol.
“offended”
Mate, leave us alone, we’ve been the most tolerable since I became a Celtics fan over the past years, play offs just make the scum float up.
I don’t think anybody wants New York after tonight lol
Doesn’t roll off the tongue as well
Fuck the Knicks is better
It would be but I don’t think the arena will have many Philly fans by that point 😭
I hope some random team from the west starts chanting it too, for no reason whatsoever
Right after TSM chants
take me back to when we believed north america had a chance at winning worlds…
I mean, if Boston gets back to the finals, I could see it
I DONT WANNA SEE ANYBODY WHO EVER TALKED SHIT ABOUT THIS TEAM DO NOT LOOK AT MY PROFILE
This has been a funny series
Love this lmao Playoff basketball baby
Sixers with Embiid is a different beast.
Just a total meltdown from the Celtics these last five quarters of basketball while the Sixers are playing lights out.
Sixers fans should the reveling in this.
Yeah right this is just setting up for the most painful viewing experience ever. I have zero fun watching these games its just torture the entire time unless we go up big
Idk the way this series has gone we’re getting shit on in game 7 I’m just happy we’re taking it back to Boston at this point lol
It all depends on if Brown shows up. I expect Tatum to be Game 7 Tatum, outside of Game 7 in 2023 against the Heat where he injured his ankle in the opening minute, he’s a beast in Game 7s. Brown has been ass these last two games though, like absolutely horrible. But if he shows up to play and they both play at an elite level we know they are capable of? The Celtics win. Though, Hauser might need to come off the bench and give his minutes to Walsh who is a fantastic defender since Hauser isn’t giving us anything offensively.
Also, the Celtics not shooting themselves in the foot might help (thirteen turnovers, nine in the first half alone), while missing eight layups and missing six free throws. They gotta clean that shit up if they want to win.
If Philly beats the Celtics I will never talk bad about Embiid again… art thou goats maxey and embiid
As a Knicks fan I just want to see the Celtics lose. I’m rooting for you Philly
Standing on business whether we win or lose
I was pissed about the game, but the chant instantly made me chuckle.
I love that next game could be either set of fans chanting this lol
Feels good
Sixers I wasn’t familiar with your game
Alright alright. Saturday we live or die.
Now they were chanting Boston Sucks lol
I love how meta this chant has become in this series
Life is hell.
Please can game 7 not be streaming. I would like to watch it in the local tavern.
So freaking annoying and further justifies my pirating ways, legit. Why should I buy a package when I cant watch a playoff game?
You gotta get your lick back
Flyers looking good, Sixers forcing game 7, hell the Phillies even won twice in one day. Things are looking good for Philly
love this shit xD
My jimmies are rustled
Philly got hands
Noticing the pattern with this, Celtics are win next game.
Every time the team’s fans chant this the other team wins the next game it seems.
I don’t expect Philly to win this series, but if they do it’s an all timer
they chanted that in 7⁄4 time
man, celtics 76ers and wizards have such crazy rivalries, WE put on cinema whenever we play each other
bro just snuck the Wizards in there
Man such a crazy game . Love me some playoff basketball
I’m in shambles
Game 7 again for both of these teams, praying for a cinema
Has the east ever been stronger than this? Obviously the top end has been better, but I’m talking top to bottom. Wizards and Pacers are coming to join the fray next year as well. Possibly even the T’Wolves the year after.
Wish they’d let Lowry go out and throw some cake with the young guns.
fair is fair
NO APPENDIX, NO PROBLEM!!!!!
We are all Philly fans on the blessed day
GOOD. Celtics team is playing sorry, and they deserve that humiliation.
Kyle lowry: tap into the dark side of the force
Its a Jinx
Philly chants “we want Boston” Philly lose game 1
Boston chant “we want Boston” in game 1, lose game 2
Philly chants “we want Boston” after game 2 and lose game 3 & 4
Boston chant “we want Boston” in game 4, lose game 5 & 6
Now Philly chants “we want Boston” in game 6…
Lowry on some Palpatine shit here
Fuck Pittsburgh, Fuck Boston, and Fuck Dallas too. LOLmets
Fumbled with “We Want Brunson” 😭
