The Sixers are playing well — just soak it in

Sixers fandom has undergone a decade-long metamorphosis. The Process brought about losing, but with a ray of hope. The Colangelo Era was bizarre and filled with screwups, but the team won a little bit. Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons turning into All-Stars made fans downright cocky. Jimmy Butler’s tenure felt like a fever dream. Most […]

As always, there are some surprises, some strange results, and some outright bad voting. Starting with the Eastern Conference, Milwaukee’s (?) Giannis Antetokounmpo leads the conference — which, in hindsight, is a […]

Editor-in-chief mailbag: That was not a very good week

Last week, I posed the question — are the Sixers good? Well, in the time since, the team dropped three straight games to the Brooklyn Nets, Chicago Bulls and Oklahoma City Thunder.
