Anna Horford, Al Horford’s outspoken sister, reignited her ongoing feud with Philadelphia 76ers fans after the Boston Celtics‘ recent 118-114 loss to the Sixers. True to her reputation for unfiltered commentary, Anna took to social media to express her disdain, sparking a fresh wave of heated exchanges. Following the game, Anna tweeted:
“Beating us is the closest they’re getting to an NBA championship. Go Cs.”
She didn’t stop there. In another tweet mocking Sixers fans’ enthusiasm over the victory, she wrote:
“‘The win that changed our season.’ LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOO I hate playing down to competition, man.”
When a Sixers fan clapped back, she fired back:
“No Larry?”
This was a jab highlighting the Sixers’ struggles since the Larry O’Brien trophy last graced their franchise in 1983.
The Sixers earned a hard-fought victory over the Celtics, led by Joel Embiid’s 27 points, 9 rebounds, and 4-for-5 shooting from beyond the arc. Despite being limited due to injury, Embiid’s dominant performance, alongside Tyrese Maxey’s 33-point, 12-assist outing, propelled the Sixers past Boston.
On the Celtics’ side, Al Horford contributed 17 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 assists, shooting an impressive 5-for-10 from three-point range. Statistically, Horford’s impact was undeniable:
Celtics with Horford on the court: +22
Celtics with Horford off the court: -26
These numbers highlight Horford’s value, even as the Celtics fell short.
This latest chapter in Anna’s rivalry with Sixers fans is far from isolated. Her animosity dates back to 2020 when Al Horford was traded from the Sixers to the Thunder after a disappointing stint in Philadelphia. Anna and her brother criticized the Sixers organization, with Anna alleging that she received threatening and harassing messages from Sixers fans during that time.
The feud escalated in 2022 after the Celtics eliminated the Sixers from the playoffs. Anna didn’t hold back, trolling Philadelphia fans online and making her disdain for the team’s supporters abundantly clear.
Despite the loss, the Celtics remain one of the top teams in the league, and Al Horford continues to play a pivotal role, especially in critical games. However, the team has now dropped two consecutive matchups, raising questions about their consistency. With key players like Kristaps Porzingis missing significant time due to injury, the Celtics need to find ways to maintain their edge in the Eastern Conference.
Meanwhile, Joel Embiid and the Sixers are finding their rhythm, with Embiid proving why he remains one of the most dominant players in the league. As the season progresses, fans can only hope for more thrilling battles between these historic rivals—and perhaps more fiery commentary from Anna Horford.
