Honestly have no idea what we’re arguing about anymore.
It really should be called the final third of the season now, shouldn’t it? The Sixers just need to put the finishing touches on the final 28 games of the regular season to complete a bounce back from their disastrous 24-win campaign a season ago. With just a game in the loss column currently keeping […]
We didn’t see the best of Doug Moe in Philadelphia. Hell, we barely saw him at all. He lasted 56 games as the Sixers’ coach in 1992-93, the team’s first after Charles Barkley left town. Thirty-seven of them were losses, two by 56 points – including the last one, on March 6, 1993 in Seattle. Too bad, because Moe, […]
The second month of the calendar year started with a couple of convincing wins over the Clippers and Warriors for the Sixers in the midst of a West Coast swing. Since that Warriors win on Feb. 3, Philadelphia has won one game. It got blown out by Portland and New York in its final two […]
ESPN’s Shams Charania has reported that the Sixers will be signing Jabari Walker to a two-year standard contract. Walker hasn’t been able to play for Philadelphia since Feb. 3 after playing the maximum 50 games on his two-way contract. With Cameron Payne returning to the team as well, the Sixers roster will be filled out […]
Whether you like how they got there or not, the Sixers now have a draft pick in the 2026 NBA draft. Of course they owe their own pick to the Oklahoma City Thunder, the price they paid for getting off Al Horford’s contract back in the 2020 offseason. Thanks to another deal with the Thunder, […]
It is NBA gospel to believe that Larry Bird and Magic Johnson, shining stars as they were in the East (and West), enabled the league to rise into the firmament, to become the Goliath it has since become. Upon their arrival in 1979, they polished pro basketball’s profile, burying its sordid, drug-addled past and paving the way for […]
Guard reinforcements are on the way for the Sixers. The team is bringing back Cameron Payne for the rest of the season, a source confirms to Liberty Ballers. TeleSport was the first to report the signing. Payne had been playing in Serbia for Partizan Belgrade, reportedly agreeing to a buyout to return to the NBA. […]
We’re about two-thirds of the way through the 2025-26 NBA regular season based upon games played, but the league’s All-Star break always serves as the arbitrary halfway point of the season. The vibes were way down for the Philadelphia 76ers, but we received a welcome respite over the weekend, getting to enjoy VJ Edgecombe shine […]
NBA All-Star Weekend festivities wrapped up with the round robin tournament. Sixers All-Star Tyrese Maxey competed for Team USA Stars. Each matchup was a 12-minute game. In the first matchup Team USA Stars took on Team World in what was a barn burner. In the second game, Team USA Stars took on Team USA Stripes […]
The 75th NBA All-Star Game will get underway on Sunday at 5 p.m. ET from the Intuit Dome, home of the Los Angeles Clippers. Returning to NBC for the first time in decades and also streaming on Peacock, this year’s All-Star Game will feature a round-robin tournament with four 12-minute games between three teams: two […]
On Saturday, Tyrese Maxey was the first Sixers player to compete in the 3-Point Contest since Kyle Korver in 2005. Unfortunately for Sixers fans, Maxey was eliminated early, finishing with a score of just 17 in the first round and not advancing. That’s fine. Save it for the stretch run to the playoffs, dude! Kon […]
If you’re a Sixers fan who skipped out on Friday night’s All-Star festivities, you missed a heck of a time. Beloved rookie VJ Edgecombe took home Rising Stars MVP honors. Edgecombe showcased everything that has made him a legitimate building block for this franchise during his first pro season during the mini-tournament, mixing clutch scoring […]
VJ Edgecombe, the crunch-time machine, got after it once again on the national stage! On Friday evening during the Rising Stars event, Edgecombe played for Vince Carter and Team Vince as part of the All-Star Weekend festivities. When I say this is the most unimportant basketball activity that the beloved Sixers rookie has undertaken in […]
All-Star Weekend gets underway at the Intuit Dome, home of the Los Angeles Clippers, on Friday night! After the celebrity game tips off at 7 p.m. on ESPN, which I cannot fathom anyone on planet Earth caring about, the Rising Stars Challenge begins at 9 p.m. and streams on Peacock! For clarity’s sake, the Rising […]
How about some complaining that’s not Sixers specific for once? The NBA, which I once thought about 15 years ago was primed to leap the NFL in the public consciousness at some point in my lifetime, can’t get out of its own way. What happened to what used to be my favorite sport and my […]
There’s never a good time to get blown out two games in a row. The Sixers are heading into the 2026 All-Star break coming off two of their worst losses of the season. They lost by 17 to the Portland Trail Blazers and followed it up with a 49-point embarrassment against the New York Knicks […]
The Philadelphia 76ers head into the NBA All-Star break at 30-24, good for sixth place in the Eastern Conference. On the surface, that’s perfectly fine, a modest overperformance relative to our preseason expectations. However, the team’s current two-game losing streak is a flashing warning sign for danger ahead. Now, you might be thinking, ‘Two-game losing […]
The NBA Trade Deadline, for better or worse, is behind us. Out goes Jared McCain and Eric Gordon. In comes draft picks and a bunch of seemingly temporary players. Despite what your opinion might be, the Sixers freed up two roster spots and seem to be weighing all options there. But who makes sense? Is […]
Hey, the Sixers only lost by 49 points on Wednesday night! What a way to cruise into the All-Star break! Before this weekend’s festivities, I’m here to hit you with the latest edition of my “5 Sixers thoughts” column. Let’s get after it… The Sixers sure could use Jared McCain and Isaiah Joe right now… […]
The Sixers’ woes against the Knicks go beyond the 49-point thrashing they received on national television on Wednesday evening. They go beyond the remnants of the team’s 2024 playoff loss to New York. When the Knicks come to South Philadelphia, those issues begin before tip-off. The Sixers have a Knicks fan problem that was exacerbated […]

I’m all for being checked out of work the last day before a vacation, but good lord. The shorthanded Sixers limped into the All-Star break, being blown out 138-89 by the New York Knicks Wednesday night. They go into the break 30-24, just a game up in the loss column on the Orlando Magic for […]

The Philadelphia 76ers will be shorthanded again on Wednesday night hosting the New York Knicks. After being listed as questionable throughout the day, Joel Embiid has been downgraded to out for the contest due to right knee injury management. Embiid was also sidelined for this reason on Monday when the Sixers fell to the Portland […]
