The Sixers started off the season fairly well, grabbing an early undefeated streak at home, as well as some big wins on the road. Despite their current 22-10 record sitting them at the 5-seed in the East, this Sixers roster seems to be problematic. The question of whether it is on the players or the coaching has been thrown around …
As of December 3rd, the Sixers sit 3GB of the 1st place Milwaukee Bucks, who are winners of 12 straight. By December’s end, standings will legitimately solidify, and the Sixers need to capitalize on upcoming opportunities to gain ground on each of the four teams ahead of them, with the headlining contest coming on Christmas Day when they host the …
The best part of sports is the actual, live game. The second best part is the debates after the game takes place. It’s a sport in itself to go back and forth about the team’s issues like we’re in a boardroom sitting on top of the arena. The other day at the Whole Foods on the parkway, I overheard one …
It was November 20th, 2019, the score read NY 11-PHI 7 at the 8:20 mark of the 1st quarter with 7 seconds left on the shot clock. At that very moment, Ben Simmons made his 1st career 3-pointer in a regular-season game. Wells Fargo Center erupted and Sixers fans everywhere rejoiced at the sight of something most didn’t expect to …
After starting the 2019-2020 season 5-0, the Sixers have dropped 5 of their last 8 games and one of the main reasons for this is the slumping play of Tobias Harris. The 27-year-old signed a massive maximum contract this offseason with the Sixers to be the team’s second option on offense and, hopefully, their go-to guy in clutch time. Little …
The Sixers just narrowly escaped Wells Fargo Center with a win against the Cleveland Cavaliers. As a team, the Sixers just couldn’t find any offensive rhythm, highlighted by a collective 8-38 beyond the arc. Joel Embiid practically put the team on his back down the stretch, while his teammates bricked a couple threes. Even without Al Horford, the reality is …
Although early-season injuries to stars Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid have prompted a variety of starting lineups, Coach Brett Brown has struggled immensely to establish a consistent bench rotation that is largely responsible for the inconsistent play of role players. Coming into this season, the Sixers’ bench was expected to be much improved with steady performers such as James Ennis …
Having started the season 4-0, and being the only team in the NBA without a loss, the 76ers now embark on their first West Coast road trip of the season. The four-game road trip will be played against opponents who begin the year with a combined record of 13-7. To make things even more difficult, the Sixers will be without …
Last year, after a depressing loss on opening night to the Celtics, Joel Embiid said, “This [Sixers versus Celtics] is not a rivalry…they always kick our a**.” Well, let the rivalry officially begin. The Sixers put together a convincing win in their home opener against the Boston Celtics, followed up by a solid comeback win in Detroit over the Pistons. …
The spirits and optimism of basketball fans throughout Philadelphia are at an all-time high. However, there may be a reason to believe that fans may be getting just a little carried away when it comes to one player in particular. Ben Simmons and his jump shot seem to be the ultimate talk of the town after he was finally able …
