The Philadelphia 76ers missed out on a big chance to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals after the Boston Celtics dominated them in Game 6, at home, behind Jayson Tatum’s 4th quarter heroics.
Following this big loss, which prompted many fans to destroy the Sixers and praise Tatum, Stephen A. Smith made a bold claim, saying that this loss could start a series of firings within the organization, including three key agents.
“It could cost Doc Rivers his job. It could cost Daryl Morey, potentially, his job. James Harden might depart from Philadelphia. That’s what’s at stake here.”

A lot could change after this season in Philly. The team has high expectations for this season, but it could have an early ending after yet another disappointing exit. They have failed a lot to make a splash in the playoffs, unable to make it past the second round of the postseason with Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons.
Last year, they also failed to advance further in the postseason during James Harden’s first season on the team. Harden is ready to go deeper in the playoffs, but he first needs to take out the Boston Celtics in the final game of the series.
The Celtics are inspired after stealing another game from Philly, but the Sixers know they can also make some noise even as visitors.

Things worked perfectly for the Sixers in Game 5, taking a 3-2 lead in the series, looking ready to finish the job at home, but the C’s had different plans. Now, it’s win-or-go-home for both teams, and it’ll come down to who wants it more to define the winner of this series.
Philadelphia can make it back to the Eastern Conference Finals after many years, while the Celtics are still looking for revenge following a painful defeat in the NBA Finals last season.
