Justin Edwards’ patience paying off with current opportunity

Justin Edwards was one of the few bright spots of the Sixers’ disastrous, cursed 2024-25 season. His second year in the NBA hasn’t progressed as smoothly as both he and the Sixers would have liked.

Can shorthanded Sixers beat tanking Nets?

Well, the vibes just seem to keep finding new ways to get worse. Now with Tyrese Maxey sidelined for a few weeks, on top of Joel Embiid and Paul George’s absences and lingering frustrations from the Jared McCain trade (avoid watching Thunder games if you aren’t already), it pretty much feels like we’re waiting for […]

Joel Embiid remains out; no further update as of now

Well, it appears no reinforcements are on the way for the Sixers any time soon. Joel Embiid will miss his seventh straight game with a right oblique strain when the Sixers host the Brooklyn Nets Saturday afternoon. Head coach Nick Nurse told reporters in Detroit Thursday that Embiid would be reevaluated on Friday. As of […]

Turns out having healthy centers is important

It turns out having 0 centers available is not a good thing. The Sixers were blown out again, falling 131-109 to the Detroit Pistons Thursday night. They are 35-31 and could be as low as the ninth seed in the East by the end of the night. MarJon Beauchamp led the Sixers in scoring with […]

Is there anything in the world that could change the Sixers’ luck?

The Sixers are cursed. I don’t know what led us all on to this path, but it happened. The fervent dedication of the Process era that was filled with promises of titles and parades has only been matched by a series of blunders and setbacks, each one more inexplicable than the last. The Sixers, and, […]

Is it time for the Sixers to tank?

If you’re looking on the bright side, we’re at least writing this about three months later this season than we were last season. For about 35-45 games, the Sixers gave their fans enough of a reason to tune in. But the last five to six weeks of the 2025-2026 season have been far from fruitful. […]

A vindicating night in a crazy year for Cameron Payne

The Sixers snapping their three-game losing streak was thanks in large part to Cam Payne dropping a new career-high 32 points, carrying them over the tanking Memphis Grizzlies. As a league-wide story it was already overshadowed by someone scoring the second-most points in a single NBA game. Bam Adebayo knocked Kobe Bryant down the list […]
