Latest news and updates about the 76ers
On this Mother’s Day (call your mom!), the second round of the 2026 NBA Playoffs continues with the Knicks looking to sweep the 76ers in Philly and the Spurs and Wolves dueling in Minnesota. Let’s discuss here! As with all of our game threads (and every post), be cool, be reasonable, and don’t say anything […]
Keep the broom handy. The Knicks will face the 76ers on Mother’s Day in Game Four of the Eastern Conference semifinals at Xfinity Mobile Arena. New York holds a commanding 3-0 series lead and sits one win away from a second straight trip to the Eastern Conference Finals. The Sixers, meanwhile, are desperate to extend […]
Congratulations to Benn Ward, winner of our 2025/26 rookie of the season award! He only had one challenger, John Ryan, but he was a comfortable winner. Ward took 86% of the vote, well ahead of Ryan’s 14%. In truth this result was a bit of a foregone conclusion, and that’s no slight on Ryan. The […]

The Knicks silenced the doubters on Friday night, defeating the 76ers 109-94 to take a commanding 3-0 series lead and move within one win of the Eastern Conference Finals. Even with the return of Joel Embiid, Philadelphia had no answers for New York’s talent and depth. The Knicks weathered an early 12-point deficit, dominated the […]
Anybody could have had Jalen Brunson in the 2018 NBA Draft. Anybody. The Villanova guard was the 33rd overall choice in that selection process, and has since parlayed his old-man game into four 20 point-per-game seasons and three All-Star appearances. That same June night, the Sixers did have Mikal Bridges, albeit briefly. (Perhaps you’ve heard.) […]
Last season, as you may recall, until he injured his knee last December, former Blue Devil Jared McCain was on track to be the surprise Rookie of the Year in the NBA. He got injured again in September, this time a hand rather than his knee, and Philadelphia, feeling it had a crowded backcourt, traded […]

Tonight, the Knicks (2-0) visit the Philadelphia 76ers (0-2) at Xfinity Mobile Arena for Game Three of the Eastern Conference semifinals. It’s a chance for New York to take a commanding 3-0 lead on the road, but it won’t come easy. Although ESPN.com etting sites peg the Sixers as slight favorites at home. That’s mainly […]

The New York Knicks will be without star forward OG Anunoby for Game 3 of their series against the Philadelphia 76ers with a hamstring strain. The news comes after Anunoby scored 24 points in a 108-102 win in Game 2 at Madison Square Garden. Anunoby has been a key factor in the series so far […]
I enter tonight’s game more calm and serene than any other game this postseason. And I don’t particularly think I’m the only Knicks fan who feels that way. For many, the last 36 hours involved being an involuntary passenger on a roller coaster ride of emotions. After seeing the Knicks win an ugly and gritty […]
After two losses at Madison Square Garden, the Sixers return home for the first time in over a week facing another two-game deficit in a best-of-seven series against one of their rivals. This time it’s a 2-0 hole against the New York Knicks, a series deficit Philly has never been able to dig out of […]
Staring down the possibility of a 3-0 series deficit, the 76ers return home to South Philadelphia to host the New York Knicks for Games 3 and 4 of their second-round playoff series. The Sixers trail the Knicks 2-0 in the series thus far after dropping the first two games at Madison Square Garden. Game 1 […]
Throughout the first two games of this series the Knicks have been able to slow down the Sixers’ offense in a way they really hadn’t experienced in their first-round series against Boston. On top of the 4-of-19 shooting performance that sunk them in the fourth quarter of Game 2, they’ve really struggled to take care […]
Monday night, the Knicks won by TKO. Last night, they won on points. Tomorrow night, they may have to fight with one arm tied behind their back. While the absence of Joel Embiid for any extended time dooms any chance the 76ers have of winning this series, his absence in Game 2 was an ironic […]
When you’re not a mainstay in a playoff rotation, you never know when your number is going to be called. In the case of Dominick Barlow, who played 54 total minutes in the Sixers’ first eight playoff games (mostly in garbage time), he had a decent idea his services would be needed Wednesday night. With […]
The Philadelphia 76ers are down 0-2, but history suggests the series is far from over for the Sixers.
After exceeding expectations during the regular season, the Boston Celtics ultimately fell short, underperforming in a seven-game series loss to the seventh-seeded Philadelphia 76ers. The disappointing end to the season brings renewed scrutiny to the roster, but it also shifts attention to the organization’s financial positioning. Last offseason’s tax-saving moves now provide the Celtics with added flexibility as they […]
Well, we’re now several days removed from the end of the Boston Celtics season, and I think I’m finally ready to talk about it. First thoughts: It definitely still stings. I wish I was still watching my guys play basketball. If we are solely looking at the result of Boston’s series against the Philadelphia 76ers, […]

To quote SwissCheez, “another no call, surprising.” And Knicksyism: “No foul…” And rcnt123: “No matter who wins, this is such a piss-poor reffed game.” Excessive complaining about lopsided officiating is generally considered uncouth, especially if your team wins. Hence, we apologize for what follows. New York made history on Monday. In defeating Philadelphia by 39 […]
Boston Celtics President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens has no reason to feel satisfied — and he isn’t. Just four days after the team’s Game 7 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, a defeat that marked the first blown 3-1 playoff lead in franchise history, Stevens spoke at his end-of-season press conference at the Auerbach Center.
