The Sixers, mostly, just make me mad
It’s Oscar season, so I’ve had movies on my mind as of late. One of my favorite films of this decade is Wim Wenders’ Perfect Days. With a loaded soundtrack, it features the Velvet Underground song, “Pale Blue Eyes,” perhaps the greatest song the legendary Lou Reed ever wrote. It’s a song I’ve adored for […]
Joel Embiid to be reevaluated in a week; VJ Edgecombe doubtful after missing practice
Well, that’s not the news you’re looking for heading into a tough road trip. The Sixers returned to practice Friday before hitting the road for Atlanta and Cleveland and with that came some injury updates. The team told reporters at practice that Joel Embiid (oblique strain) is progressing through individualized strength and conditioning work and […]
The Sixers’ house of cards is teetering
Could it really have been only five weeks ago that Joel Embiid stood before reporters in the Sixers’ locker room and offered something resembling a rallying cry? We all remember it. How on Jan. 29, with the trade deadline looming, Embiid said the following: “I love all the guys that are in here. I think we got a […]
Garbage time or not, Jabari Walker is always going to bring the hustle
The Sixers’ narrow win over the Utah Jazz Wednesday was thanks in large part to a 22-point effort from Jabari Walker. He came into the game hot, making his first four three-point attempts. That last one to fall wasn’t even a clean swish — he got a friendly bounce off the rim to get the […]

A win is a win?
Well, they may lose as bad as tanking teams, but at least they can still beat tanking teams. The Sixers escaped with a 106-102 win over the Utah Jazz Wednesday night. They are now 34-28, still a game up on the Orlando Magic for the sixth seed but tied in the loss column. Despite some […]

Yes, we need to discuss the Jared McCain trade again
The vibes for the Philadelphia 76ers are at a low point for the season. The team has lost six of their last nine games, Paul George is about halfway through a league drug policy-related suspension, and Joel Embiid is currently missing time with an oblique injury. Losses to Boston and San Antonio this week looked […]
VJ Edgecombe out vs. Jazz with lumbar contusion, to be reevaluated later in the week
Only missing a game or two here is probably far from the worst case scenario. The Sixers announced that VJ Edgecombe has suffered a lumbar contusion and will miss their upcoming contest against the Utah Jazz. The team says that he’ll be reevaluated before their next game against the Atlanta Hawks. This happened on the […]
NBC’s retro broadcast was a welcomed wave of nostalgia
On Tuesday night, NBC flashed back to the 1990s and the result was more entertaining than any episode of Friends I’ve seen. With the NBA once more on the network this season as part of the league’s changing media rights landscape, NBC did a retro broadcast of the Sixers-Spurs game in Philadelphia. I adored it, […]
Sixers host Utah Jazz on second leg of back-to-back
The Sixers are coming off a rough one — getting blown out at home by the San Antonio Spurs, 131-91. The good news is they won’t have long to stew on it. Philadelphia hosts the Utah Jazz tonight on the second leg of a back-to-back, giving them a quick chance to bounce back. Sixer fans […]

Well, that was embarrassing
Another smashing success for the Sixers on national television. Philadelphia was trounced 131-91 by the San Antonio Spurs Tuesday night. They are 33-28, just a half game up and tied in the loss column with the Orlando Magic for the sixth seed. Tyrese Maxey, playing 25 minutes before the white flag was raised, put up […]
VJ Edgecombe will not return vs. Spurs
As if things weren’t going poorly enough, the Sixers will play the second half vs. the Spurs without VJ Edgecombe. The rookie guard injured his back after being fouled by Carter Bryant in the closing seconds of the first half. Edgecombe was able to get up and walk under his own power. He took the […]

Rockets Pick Tracker: Solid week keeps Houston in place
With Houston playing good ball out of the All-Star break this a reminder that yes, you are still allowed to be mad at the Jared McCain trade. The Rockets seem to have gotten their act together since this blog started tracking their progress and the 2026 first-round pick they owe to the Sixers. They went […]
Kelly Oubre Jr. ruled out for Sixers-Spurs with illness
The Sixers have a late addition to their injury report — Kelly Oubre Jr. has been ruled out with an illness for their upcoming matchup against the San Antonio Spurs. Alongside Joel Embiid and Paul George, this now puts the Sixers down three starters into a contest that isn’t just on NBC, but is a […]
Familiar issues haunt Sixers with Joel Embiid out
At the NBA trade deadline, the Sixers only subtracted from their roster. They moved Jared McCain and Eric Gordon and received no NBA player in return. Daryl Morey was asked at his post-deadline presser if he believed in his team’s depth: “We feel like we’re a deep team. Again, people might not agree, but we […]
Sixers host San Antonio Spurs on beginning of back-to-back
The Philadelphia 76ers are coming off a tough loss to the Boston Celtics. Now, they’ll turn their attention to a back-to-back in Philly, starting with the San Antonio Spurs and ending with the Utah Jazz. But first, let’s focus on the Spurs, who have put together a strong season so far. When breaking down San […]
Editor-in-chief mailbag: How’s everyone feeling?
The Sixers won three straight. The third win was a pretty crucial one, staving off the Miami Heat’s push for the sixth seed and evening the season series, putting the all-important tie-breaker still in play with the season series tied 1-1. Unfortunately, Joel Embiid suffered a flukey oblique injury and the Sixers proceeded to lose […]

Sixers make a game of it, but Boston’s edge on the glass too much to overcome
Credit to the rook for even keeping them in this game. The Sixers’ three-game win streak was snapped with a 114-98 loss to the Boston Celtics Sunday night. They are now 33-27, still one game up in the loss column for the East’s sixth seed thanks to a loss earlier in the day from the […]
