1. If you look at this history of it, both teams have been great at the same time – 60s and 80s, even a big battle in 77.

   Being on a collusion course is another repeat of history.

   Even though Boston usually got the upper hand doesn't change the fact that they were wars and the old Celtics respected the Sixers.

2. It's the best player vs. the 2nd best player

3. I hate the nba countdown team. Fire everyone. Beadle is annoying, pierce makes no sense ever, Chauncey needs 2 mics to hear him and jalen is trying to be a personality like Barkley except he ain’t funny no matter how hard he tries.

4. dont be talkin to paul pierce like he a scrub

5. Both Teams Are Historically A Rivalry And On The Current Trajectory 📊 Of Both Teams There Futures Bright And Will Be Classes Of The East 📈

6. RAPS IN 7

7. THESE MOFOS HATE THE CELTICS…BECAUSE BOSTON KICK DETROITS ASS AND INDIANA'S ASS….PAUL PIERCE IS RIGHT…..BOSTON IS 3-0 AGAINST PHILLY…….DETROIT AND INDIANA HAS NOTHING …

8. Fellas, you have to win some to have a rivalry. These 76ers haven’t won. Get rid of this girl. How dare she disrespect Paul Pierce, our Inglewood, CA, home superstar. Then a Hearty laugh? What’s up with her? Is their purpose to bring horny white or black boys to the video? Too disrespectful for me.

9. You all are not seeing the light. Look at the changes in front of y'all. It's any one's game…
   Cavs vs Warriors.. smh. That narrative is changing.
   Feel the change in the air and EMBRACE IT…..
   You all singing an old song.

   For me this year I am not calling a winner. I am watching to see. This year is a underdog year/ major upsets year…
   May the team that's HUNGRIER WIN.

10. NO omfg. It's not a damn rivalry. We're about to sweep them with our G league team. It's not a contest. Philly is OVERRATED.

11. All of this doesn't matter if LeBron stays in the East.

12. Love Paul Pierce Rooting for Celtics as always

13. As the team is right now, the Sixers can't compete with Boston. The Sixers just don't have the shooters to match up with Gordon Hayward and Kyrie. Tatum should have been the number one pick. Plus Boston has maybe the best coach in the NBA.

    The only way I can see Philadelphia beating Boston is if Sixers get LeBron and Paul George. A lineup of LBJ-George-Simmons-Embiid-Redick would allow the Sixers to match up with the Celtics starters. Then, they can bring back Ilyasova and Marco and have Fultz back up.

14. lebron james vs lance stephenson is the greatest nba rivalry and i hope we see it again next year.

15. A Knicks fan could only dream that we can start competing soon ;(

16. Bruh Houston overrated af they can't even compete with the Warriors and i'm not even a Warriors fan it's just facts

17. I think they forgot about Lebron he’s still in the east

18. I'm a Sixers fan but I don't get this whole Rivalry talk with the Celtics… they have owned us historically… 11-4 vs us in Playoffs Series All-Time… how are such lopsided results a true rivalry… they own us and we couldn't even beat them without their 2 best players… and we're going to do it when they return. Unless we get LeBron or somebody, I dont see how this is going to be a rivalry, at least not a competitive one.

19. No. It’ll just be a beat down. The Celtics without Kyrie and Gordon Hayward are up 3-0. Against a perfectly healthy Sixers.
    4-0 series every time unless Sixers change it up and add more talent and experience.

20. I wouldn't be surprised if Celtics make it to the finals to play the warriors. I can't even see Cavs beating the Celtics right now.

21. Rivalry? Can the Sixers win a game first?

22. Fuck jalen rose

23. No it's not, as long as LeGOAT is around they have no chance!

24. Paul Pierce is really good at this.

25. Pierce always speaking the Truth and always getting interrupted

26. Sure whenever Lebron leaves the East.

27. Jalen Rose dyed his hair?

28. The next great rivalry? What do you mean? Celtics and Sixers rivalry has started since Russell Wilt era, and continued in the 80's (Bird and Dr J)

29. Let's be real.. Like 5% of humanity believed Celtics was gnna be whooping on 76ers. I had Philly in 6, my bracket is dead.

30. Imagine a team with Billups PG, Rose SG, and Pierce SF. Would’ve been a strong team

31. No. Celtics are the Sixers daddy. End of discussion.

32. Don't count Giannis out. Especially with a good coach….

33. Doesn't the other team have to win a game before it becomes a rivalry?

34. The 76ers aren't good enough to be rivals.

35. Can't be a rivalry if one team is existentially better and boutta sweep the other team

36. Philly is so overrated, Boston will own them for the next decade!

37. How bout that premature confetti and jumping around like they won.

38. Damn this generation cant just let it HAPPEN!

39. That's what philly gets for dropping confetti early! Love the promo espn had for philly vs. Cleveland before game 7 of C's vs. Bucks. Thank you clowns at espn. Let's go Celtics!!!

40. NOOOOOOOO

41. Please stop with the Ben Simmons next this or that talk boy need get sum heart & looks scared of the ball

42. Paul maming sense.

43. Toronto Raptors vs Phoenix Suns NBA Rivalry.

44. Nah Celtics and sixers be like rockets vs okc not cavs vs warriors

45. Philly really bout to be swept to a depleted celtics. So nah.

46. Why they always picking on Paul pierce. You can tell it’s starting to bother him. Jalen rose talks like he was a 10 time all star like Pierce

47. Boston vs Philly in the East feels like I'm 7yrs old and it's 1980 👍🏾💯💯💯

48. Celtics and Sixers is the next great rivalry.

    Warriors and anybody else is a now rivalry

    Thank you Pierce for actually listening
