They have now earned the seventh seed in the East and will take on Boston in the first round of the playoffs, beginning Sunday afternoon. Tyrese Maxey led […]

5 Sixers thoughts as they prepare for the Play-In Tournament
The Sixers have the basketball world right where they want them: limping into the Play-In Tournament while their best player is sidelined due to injury once more. Before they host the Orlando Magic tonight in beautiful South Philadelphia, here are five thoughts I currently have involving the team… Are the Magic falling apart? As much […]
I’m catching ‘Play-In Fever’ against my best judgment
For the third consecutive year, the Sixers have failed to hit that vaunted 50-win total in the regular season. They have not held home-court advantage in a playoff series since Doc Rivers was here. Joel Embiid is dealing with yet another crushing injury, one in a long line of them that have defined his career. […]
Don’t forget, the Magic were in on Paul George
It’s fun to play the “What if…” game sometimes in sports. Sometimes, certain scenarios are worth remembering in the event of future transactions that would serve as a reminder of one team’s initial interest in a particular player. If for nothing else, it creates some fun dialogue amongst fans. As we prepare for Philadelphia’s clash […]
Sixers look to punch their ticket to the NBA Playoffs vs. Magic in Play-In
It’s win or stay home (to play the Hornets) for the Sixers when they host the Orlando Magic in the East’s 7-8 Play-In game Wednesday night. After Charlotte’s thrilling overtime win Tuesday night, we know what’s at stake in this one: the winner of Sixers-Magic will head to Boston for a playoff matchup with the […]

Let’s choose to enjoy the Play-In Tournament
A sentiment I’ve seen expressed towards Philadelphia’s participation in the NBA Play-In Tournament, both in person and online, is apathy. The line of thinking goes that the Sixers aren’t at all likely to win the title this year, so why worry if the season ends this week or if it is prolonged until after a […]
Looking back at each of the Sixers-Magic matchups this season
After an absolute rollercoaster of a regular campaign for the Philadelphia 76ers, we have finally made it to the postseason. When the dust finally settled on the final games in the Eastern Conference on Sunday, the Sixers ended up as the No. 7 seed with a record of 45-37. With that finish, Philadelphia is set […]
VJ Edgecombe: All dressed up with somewhere special to go
The shirt was white, the sweater blue and the tie spiffy. Diamond studs sparkled in both of VJ Edgecombe’s earlobes, and he wore Gucci sunglasses. Indoors. At night. Impressive as the ensemble was, Tyrese Maxey was thinking more about the calendar than he was clothing as his backcourt partner strutted across the Sixers’ locker room […]
Dominick Barlow has a ‘Hollywood story,’ but the ending is far from written
Fate is a complex concept. Maybe you believe in it, thinking something beyond your worldly perception is pulling you in a certain direction. Perhaps you’re skeptical, steadfast in the belief that your destiny is what you make it. Dominick Barlow is quick to dismiss it. “I don’t believe in fate at all,” he told Liberty Ballers […]
Rockets Pick Tracker: Coin flip to determine where Sixers pick
The regular season may be over, but there’s still time needed for the dust to settle. Now that teams are locked into their positions, it’s time to look at where the Houston Rockets’ 2026 first-round pick owed to the Sixers ended up. The Rockets ended the season winning nine of out of their last 10 […]
With Joel Embiid out, the Sixers will get a glimpse of their future
Daryl Morey and the rest of the Philadelphia front office are going to have challenges in upcoming summers. Thanks to the term left on the max contracts to Joel Embiid and Paul George, constructing future rosters will prove difficult. Perhaps there’s a world in which Morey can get off of George’s deal as the wing […]
Editor-in-chief mailbag: Bring on the Magic
With the Sixers taking care of business against the Milwaukee Bucks (so long, Doc Rivers) and the Orlando Magic losing to the Hospital Celtics, we’ll have meaningful basketball in South Philly this week. The Sixers will host the Magic in the 7-8 play-in game Wednesday at Xfinity Mobile Arena. It’s simple: win and the Sixers […]
NBA announces Play-In tournament and first round schedules
It’s always the Sixers that have got to make things weird. Now that the 2025-26 regular season has concluded and the seeding is finalized, the league has announced dates, times and TV schedules for the Play-In tournament and the first weekend of the first round of the playoffs. Normally, both 7-vs.-8 are the first games […]

Sixers overcome lackluster first half to take down Bucks, officially clinch seventh seed with Magic loss
It’s not exactly a 2008 Eagles scenario, but it looks like the Sixers might get some standings help in Game 82. Philadelphia wrapped up the 2025-26 regular season with a 126-10 win over the Milwaukee Bucks Sunday evening. They finish the season at 45-37 and will end as the seventh seed in the Eastern Conference […]

Sixers host Bucks to close regular season
We made it. There have been ups and downs, and not everyone has an appendix that started with one, but we have reached the final game of the 2025-26 NBA regular season. The entire Eastern Conference tips off at the same time this evening to allow for maximum suspense for different seeding permutations. If you’re […]
Breaking down Playoff seeding scenarios heading into Sixers final game of the regular season
Kevin Durant was right about looking at graphs while trying to talk about hoops. The final week of the regular season hasn’t exactly been the momentum builder heading into the playoffs the Sixers had hoped. Bad losses to the San Antonio Spurs and Houston Rockets knocked them firmly into Play-In tournament positioning. More importantly, Joel […]

Sixers take down tanking Pacers, still a (very slim) chance at the sixth seed
Even wins like this come with their bumps and bruises. The Sixers knocked off the Indiana Pacers 105-94 Friday night. They are now 44-37 and can finish no worse than the eighth seed in the East after the Charlotte Hornets lost earlier in the night to the Detroit Pistons. If the Brooklyn Nets can miraculously […]
