The Philadelphia 76ers are struggling in their first-round playoff series against the Boston Celtics, facing difficulties in rebounding, defensive matchups, and shooting efficiency. Despite expectations for improvement after a poor Game 1, the Sixers have maintained a low shooting percentage, particularly on open shots, ranking among the bottom in the playoffs. Coach Nick Nurse noted their inability to capitalize on good looks early in games, contributing to their overall woes. The team’s reliance on inconsistent shooters like Kelly Oubre Jr. has exacerbated their challenges, hindering their chances of competing with the higher-seeded Celtics.
