The Hall of Fame Boston big man alum recently took some time to weigh in on the short-term contention futures for these three ball clubs.

It’s fitting that Philadelphia and Boston are facing off in a Game 7 on Sunday — no two franchises have faced each other more Game 7s than these two. This will be the ninth time in a rivalry that dates back to 1959.

Boston's offense vs. Joel Embiid could be a big factor in determining which team advances to the conference semifinals.

The 76ers are headed to Boston to face the Celtics in Game 7 of their first-round playoff series on Saturday. We just have to wait a bit to find out when the game will take place.

The Celtics will be hitting the road for a late-night matchup against the 76ers in Game 6 of their first-round series on Thursday night. The NBA announced an 8 p.m. start time for the matchup at Xfinity Mobile Arena after the 76ers extended the series with a Game 5 win at TD Garden on Tuesday night.
