Schedule for Sixers-Knicks second-round series
The Sixers are moving on to the second round of the 2026 NBA playoffs! There should be plenty of time for the fanbase to bask in the glory of this comeback and true signature playoff moment for Joel Embiid. There won’t be much rest for the weary, though. Their next opponent in round two will […]
FINALLY! After decades of disappointment, Sixers win Game 7 vs. Celtics, overcome 3-1 deficit to win series
Holy shit, guys, they did it! They actually did it! The Sixers pulled off the impossible, beating a Jayson Tatum-less Celtics 109-100 in Game 7 to come back down from a 3-1 deficit to win the series. Joel Embiid was able to break down Boston’s defense for much of the night again. He led all […]

You can’t overstate what a win in Game 7 would mean for the Sixers
When your head and your heart often conflict on the outcome of a game involving one of your teams, your head is usually more realistic or pessimistic while your heart is the more optimistic part of your body. For most Sixers fans, it’s the opposite entering Saturday night’s Game 7 in Boston in a first-round […]
Somebody will make a name for himself in Game 7. Just ask World B. Free
In another year and another Sixers-Celtics Game 7, the Artist Formerly Known as Lloyd Free was determined to make a name for himself. One of ‘em, anyway. He is known now as World B. Free. Has been since December 1981, when he legally changed his name midway through a 13-year run as a freewheeling, shoot-first-and-ask-questions-later […]
Heroes or heartbreak await in Game 7
Game Seven. Two of the most heart-pumping words in all of sports. Under any circumstances, the Philadelphia 76ers playing a win-or-go-home game with the season on the line would make for an edge-of-your-seat viewing experience. However, tonight has the added element of coming against the rival Boston Celtics, with all of the history that entails. […]
Tyrese Maxey is changing the Sixers’ narrative, but there’s more work to be done
There are many fans who believe the Sixers are cursed — and the evidence is fairly convincing. Between injuries, guys forgetting how to shoot, front office drama and scandals, point guard holdouts, crushing playoff defeats and everything in between, it does feel like an otherworldly force has been against them in the Joel Embiid era. […]
5 Sixers thoughts after they force a Game 7 in Boston
Game 6 was a dream I never want to wake up from. As the Sixers have forced a Game 7 in Boston against the heavily favored Celtics, I’ll share a new “5 Sixers thoughts” column with you all… My Paul George apology form I hated the Paul George contract before the ink even dried on […]
Paul George is proving his worth in this series
While the Sixers went into their round one series against the Boston Celtics not knowing whether Joel Embiid would be available for it, they did have something they haven’t in their previous three playoff matchups against Boston: wings to throw at their stars. Paul George and Kelly Oubre Jr. possess enough length, speed and strength […]
Sixers finally find themselves, but can they find a way to win Game 7?
This is what the Sixers were supposed to look like. This is who they were supposed to be, from the moment Paul George arrived in the summer of 2024, satchelful of Josh Harris’ cash in hand and visions of greatness dancing in his head. Which is to say, connected and competitive. Explosive and entertaining. Versatile […]

Game 7 it is! Sixers dominate Celtics in Game 6
Maybe we do want Boston? The Sixers smoked the Celtics 106-93 in Game 6 in a contest that was not as close as the score would indicate. There will a Game 7 in Boston Saturday. Tyrese Maxey was brilliant from start to finish, leading all scorers with 30 points, shooting 11-of-22 from the floor along […]

The Sixers can still win with this version of Joel Embiid
Imagine not being able to enjoy Joel Embiid’s fantastic Game 5 performance in Boston. Surely, Sixers fans have been emotionally fatigued after nearly a decade of not getting out of the second round with a slew of different roster iterations centered around Embiid. After last season’s debacle, many of them likely resigned to the team […]
With Joel Embiid back and dominating, Sixers have real shot at forcing Game 7
Just when you think the season looks like it’s over, they pull you right back in. After a close loss in Game 3 and getting trounced in Game 4, the Sixers came back with a vengeance to take Game 5 on the road in Boston, winning 113-97. It took until the start of the fourth […]
Sixers finally got the two-way play they needed from Quentin Grimes
Betting on himself this season didn’t go nearly as well as Quentin Grimes may have hoped. A tumultuous restricted free agency saw him return to the Sixers on only the $6 million dollar qualifying offer in hopes of scoring a better deal the following offseason. He started well, averaging 17 points per game, shooting 44.8% […]
Joel Embiid’s toughness on full display in gutty Game 5 performance
An emergency appendectomy. Just 10 days before the start of the playoffs. If you had to guess which player it happened to, you’d say “Joel Embiid” before someone even asked. Just another bizarre and unfortunate moment for a player whose career has been derailed by them. But for one night, there was no talk of […]

They’re not done yet — led by Joel Embiid, Sixers take another game in Boston to force Game 6
We’re not going anywhere just yet. The Sixers stole another one in Boston, winning Game 5 113-97 to send the series back to Philly at 3-2. Joel Embiid found himself in the third quarter, leading all scorers with 33 points shooting 12-of-23 from the field along with four rebounds and eight assists. Tyrese Maxey was much […]

Sixers must show some fight in Game 5
Celtics in five was probably the most commonly predicted outcome of this first-round series between Boston and Philadelphia. As the series returns to Beantown for the fifth game on Tuesday night, it’s certainly looking like that outcome will come to fruition after the Sixers laid another egg, this time on their home floor, in the […]
