How the Celtics can win Game 7, and what might happen if Boston loses

The Boston Celtics have somehow found a way to squander a 3-1 series lead to the Philadelphia 76ers in their 2026 NBA Eastern Conference Playoffs first round series after dropping Game 6 in all-too-familiar fashion. Now the Celtics find themselves in their last chance to close out the series before watching an otherwise magical campaign come to a screeching halt as old bad habits resurface at the worst moment possible/ What went wrong for Boston? Will Jayson Tatum be able to play after appearing to hurt his leg? How important is playing their depth and executing to this team? Where did the accountability culture disppear to? What do the Celtics need to do to win Game 7? And while it's something we'd rather not think too much about, what could be coming down the pike this offseason if the unthinkable happens and the Celtics are a first-round exit? The hosts of "Havlicek Stole the Pod" sat down with Celtics Blog's Gio Rivera to talk through all of the above and what little news has happened since the last pod, so be sure to tune in.
