Honestly have no idea what we’re arguing about anymore.
On Saturday night, the New York Knicks snapped their 53-year title drought. Nick Nurse and the Sixers—whose own championship drought has now reached 43 years—could learn some valuable lessons from their Atlantic Division rivals. Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns and OG Anunoby led the way for the Knicks on their incredible championship run, but they were […]
Sixers fans weren’t quite sure what to expect when the organization first signed Kelly Oubre Jr. very late in the 2023 offseason. Ultimately, at just a veteran’s minimum salary, it was a home run deal for Philadelphia, as Oubre went on to start in 52 of his 68 regular season appearances that season, plus all […]

Throughout this season, Philadelphia 76ers’ young forward Justin Edwards struggled to maintain a meaningful spot in the team’s rotation. Edwards, in his sophomore season, featured in 64 contests for the Sixers, starting in 12, for 15.3 minutes per night — with those minutes varying wildly from night to night. Some games, Nick Nurse went to […]
We have ourselves a series. Down 2-0 with their backs against the wall going into Madison Square Garden, the young Spurs came up with a huge 115-111 win in Game 3. Plenty changed in the Spurs’ favor for them to take the series to 2-1 and give themselves a real chance to get back into […]
As the Sixers’ search for a new president of basketball operations zeroed in on Mike Gansey, a corresponding promotion for Jameer Nelson became increasingly likely. Nelson slowly rose through the organization, starting with the G League affiliate Delaware Blue Coats. Nelson became a lot more involved with the big club last season. He was on […]

Through all the athletic highs and exciting signs of his potential, Adem Bona’s 2025-26 season was a mixed bag. The flaws are clear with Bona. Unfortunately, issues like his tendency for errors and spells of too many fouls, somewhat lacking defensive rebounding, and questionable touch around the rim can be glaring when he’s having an […]
As the team that demolished the Sixers out of the 2026 playoffs continues playing for a championship, Philadelphia’s new brass is under no delusions on how far they are from contending for one. In his introductory press conference, president of basketball operations Mike Gansey gave a frank assessment on where he thinks his new team […]
On Monday, the Sixers introduced Mike Gansey as their new president of basketball operations. He didn’t reveal much about his vision for the team, but it seemed clear he was going to do his best to build around the team’s “Big 4” while creating a more harmonious environment within the franchise. Gansey won’t have much […]

There’s something to be said for a guy that just has impeccable vibes. After an enjoyable four months back in 2021-22, the Sixers brought back Andre Drummond in the 2024 offseason to be the Joel Embiid backup capable of eating a lot of regular season innings to help the workload. It got off to a […]
The New York juggernaut keeps rolling on, as the Knicks won both games in San Antonio to make it 13 straight postseason victories. The series now shifts to Madison Square Garden, where tickets on secondary market are going for $10k and the blood of a firstborn child. The last time a team came back from […]
Monday was the dawn of a new era for the Philadelphia 76ers. Out is Daryl Morey, who served as the franchise’s president of basketball operations for six seasons. In is Mike Gansey, who previously served as the general manager of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Gansey spoke to reporters for the first time at the team’s practice […]
Are you interested in a big man that plays a lot of minutes on a lot of nights and eats rebounds for breakfast, lunch and dinner? If so, and most Sixers fans should be, then Hannes Steinbach is your guy. The 20-year-old German had a very strong freshman campaign statistically at the University of Washington […]
It was a big year for 23-year-old Dominick Barlow. The forward joined the Philadelphia 76ers last summer, prior to the 2025-26 season, on a two-way contract. Back then, no one – likely not even Barlow himself – knew just how integral he would become in the Sixers’ rotation throughout the season. And he was thrown […]
A Philly hoops legend is taking on a major role for his hometown team. The Sixers will reportedly promote Jameer Nelson to executive vice president of basketball operations, per ESPN’s Shams Charania.

By any objective measure, Jabari Walker’s first season with the Philadelphia 76ers was a success. Signed last July to a two-way contract after spending three seasons with Portland, Walker ended up playing an important role for a Sixers team that often found itself thin in the frontcourt. He appeared in 64 regular-season games for Philadelphia, […]

It was an up-and-down season for the Philadelphia 76ers in general, but especially so for Trendon Watford. The 25-year-old forward appeared in 53 games for the Sixers this season, starting in seven and averaging 16.3 minutes a night. Opportunity was far from consistent for Watford, though, as he worked in and out of the rotation […]
It’s the battle we’ve all been waiting for: Julian Champagnie vs. Landry Shamet with a title on the line. Former Sixers roster miscues aside, this NBA Finals should be a fun one for a neutral observer. The New York Knicks steamrolled everyone in the Eastern Conference (including a certain team from the Delaware Valley) on […]
