The Celtics Crush the 76ers: A Preseason Showdown at TD Garden

Hey, basketball junkies! Buckle up because the Boston Celtics just gave the Philadelphia 76ers a preseason beatdown that’ll have fans buzzing for the regular season. Let’s dive into the chaos that unfolded at TD Garden and why this game is the early warning shot of the Celtics’ ambitions this season.

Back in the Garden: The Return of the Green

Remember the last time those lucky bastards in green took the court at TD Garden? It ended with confetti raining down like it was New Year’s Eve. On Saturday night, they returned to their fortress and holy hell, did they make it count! The Celtics absolutely annihilated the 76ers, crushing them 139-89. That’s not just a loss; that’s a full-on massacre!

Luke Kornet: The Surprise Star

Who would’ve thought Luke Kornet would be the one to steal the spotlight? This dude turned into a human wrecking ball, scoring points like he was on a mission from the basketball gods. If you missed it, Kornet had a performance that felt like he was saying, “I’m here to fuck shit up!” And he did, posting stats that made everyone wonder if they were even watching the same game. If this guy continues to shine, the Celtics might just have a hidden gem on their hands.

76ers: What the Hell Happened?

Now let’s talk about the 76ers. They rolled into Boston thinking they could hang, but they got outclassed in every way possible. Doc Rivers and his crew looked like deer caught in headlights. Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid were there, but they might as well have been sipping cocktails on the bench for all the good they did. The Sixers need to regroup and figure out how to hold their own against a team that just embarrassed them in front of their fans.

TD Garden: The Place Where Dreams Go to Die

For all you Sixers fans out there, let’s be real. TD Garden is a nightmare for visiting teams. The crowd is loud, passionate, and ready to unleash hell on any team that steps onto the parquet. It’s like walking into the lion’s den, and on Saturday, the 76ers were the main course. They couldn’t handle the pressure, and it showed. If you thought they were going to just stroll in and take a W, you were dead wrong.

What’s Next for Both Teams?

So what does this preseason thrashing mean moving forward? For the Celtics, this is a gigantic confidence boost. They’re looking to establish dominance early and send a message to the rest of the league: “We’re here, and we’re not fucking around.” But for the 76ers, they need to hit the reset button. It’s a long season, and if they keep playing like this, they might as well start planning their golf trips.

Final Thoughts: The NBA is Back, Baby!

As the NBA season inches closer, this game is a reminder of the fierce rivalries and intense competition that make basketball so damn exciting. The Celtics are flexing their muscles, and the 76ers better get their shit together before they end up as the laughing stock of the league. Buckle up, folks; this season is going to be wild!
