Sixers’ homegrown guard trio shines bright under the MSG lights

The 14-11 start for the Sixers this season has been a breath of the freshest air possible compared to the disaster that was last season. If there was one thing the encouraging start lacked, it was a win over a quality opponent. Their best chance for that came when they took on the newly crowned […]

After some time off, Sixers return to the court to face champion(?) Knicks

If you’re going to play a team on the road, it’s probably good to catch them right after they’ve been in Las Vegas celebrating a championship, and then had to play another game the night before. That’s the situation the Philadelphia 76ers find themselves in tonight, as they take on the New York Knicks. The […]

Paul George set out to look like himself again. So far, he’s doing just that

Amongst many of the goals set by the Philadelphia 76ers to ensure that season wouldn’t be as disastrous as last, was Paul George trying to get back to himself. After a first year in Philly that saw all of his production averages plummet, he wanted to show he could still earn the three years of […]

At 14-11 thru 25 games, there really hasn’t been a lot of noise in the numbers for the Sixers so far as we wait for them to return to action on Friday. Other than the win-loss record, which is where everyone’s eye balls jump to first, a large portion of the team’s statistical profile suggests […]

Jared McCain finds himself in a weird situation

More things have gone right than not thus far during the 2025-26 season for the Philadelphia 76ers, as we have plenty of positive takeaways from the team’s 14-11 start. One situation that we would call underwhelming or disappointing, though, is Jared McCain’s sophomore season. With 16 games now under his belt, the former Duke Blue […]

What should the Sixers actually trade for?

It’s officially Dec. 15! A somewhat pivotal day in the NBA calendar, as all contracts in the league (most notably ones signed just over six months ago in the summer) become tradeable. Even more importantly, players traded today and tomorrow can have their salaries aggregated in additional deals ahead of this year’s deadline. So, with […]
