The 76ers’ clash with the Boston Celtics is not as significant as many would believe. It’s still early in the season, and the Sixers are still trying to adjust to their new coach and the absence of James Harden. However, the 106-103 win over the Celtics at the Wells Fargo Center has sparked some discussions about the Sixers being a top NBA team, irrespective of the outcome of the game.
The Sixers had everything to gain and nothing to lose in this match against the favorite Celtics. The prevailing belief that the Celtics and the Milwaukee Bucks would dominate the Eastern Conference was questioned when the Sixers secured a sixth straight victory.
Joel Embiid’s performance underscored why he is the reigning MVP, with 27 points, 10 rebounds, four assists, and four blocks. Tyrese Maxey also shined with 25 points, five assists, nine rebounds, and two blocks. Despite the Celtics’ late rally, the Sixers’ resilience and defense prevailed, providing them with the win.
Nick Nurse, the new head coach, expressed enthusiasm for the Sixers’ depth and hardworking nature, while acknowledging the need to form an identity as the season progresses. Nurse’s challenge will be managing a wealth of talent and finding an optimal rotation that maximizes the team’s potential.
Ultimately, the Sixers’ impressive start this season has raised questions about how deep and dominant the team can be. However, the true test will be in accumulating sufficient victories to solidify their position as a genuine contender in the NBA.
