76ERS RUMORS & GOSSIP
The Rivalry Comes Home For Game 3
Tonight the 76ers look to take a 2-1 series lead in game 3. The Sixers will take the court at the Wells Fargo Center, with the fans wearing red shirts and waving rally towels. The Sixers snuck by in game two, and fell by only a point in game one. The series has been much closer that people have expected, I find it hard to believe tonight will change.

Andre Iguodala, 76ers More Resilient Than Expected Against Veteran Celtics
BOSTON -- The book on the Philadelphia 76ers said they could not win close games. Get them into a tight one in the playoffs, and the athletic but inexperienced Sixers were supposed to go down easily and simply be glad to be part of the postseason tournament. The Sixers have turned out to be much more resilient than expected, and not only in their one-point victory over the Celtics...

Philadelphia dominates 3rd quarter to even series with Boston with 82-81 victory
This series is going to go the distance. If any indication of game one as well as last night's 82-81 victory for the Philadelphia 76ers tells us anything, it's that these two teams match up really well. Doug Collins and company were able to steal one in Boston as they head home for games three and four.
The 76ers were the one that executed late this time. The one stat...

Philadelphia 76ers: Can They Defeat Boston?
After Saturday’s heartbreaking Game 1 loss to the Boston Celtics, the Philadelphia 76ers have nobody to blame but themselves for trailing 1-0 in the series.
The Sixers were in control for most of Game 1 before the Celtics showed their playoff experience in the second half and win the game 92-91 to remain undefeated at home this postseason. Kevin Garnett led the way for Boston...

Which 76ers Player Would You Most Like to See on Celtics?
The Celtics are the favorites in their series with the 76ers, but Philadelphia has no shortage of talent. In fact, the Sixers have a number of players who could be very desirable to C's fans, and who could potentially become fan favorites if they were to ever don green. Andre Iguodala is perhaps the most recognizable name on the Sixers. His high-flying style of play has led to...

Perfect storm responsible for 76er’s playoff run so far

Sixers prep for 2nd-half surge in Game 2 vs. Celts
Philadelphia coach Doug Collins warned his team about the Celtics' third-quarter prowess this season.
Perhaps that advisory should have been extended into the fourth quarter as well.
Leading for most of the game and by as many as 10 early in the fourth, the 76ers could no longer contain Kevin Garnett or Rajon Rondo, who ignited a 23-7 surge to start the final quarter, helping...

Lou Williams a Concern for Celtics in Clutch Situations Against Sixers
BOSTON -- The mostly commonly heard knock on the Sixers this season is that the lack of a clear No. 1 scoring option hinders them in close games. Andre Iguodala, the 76ers' best player, is a standout defender and a fierce finisher on the break. Elton Brand, their most well-paid player, has become little more than a $17 million role player. Jrue Holiday, probably their best offensive...
