It’s been quite a week in Philadelphia sports. Nothing but soul-shattering moments that make us rethink the past and question the future. Devastating losses that put us in an identity crisis and the feeling of being tarred and feather while walking naked through the streets of Kings Landing. But then this tweet arrived. NFL approved […]
Within an hour after the Sixers dreadful Game 5 collapse at home against the Hawks, I had talked myself into the Sixers winning the series. This is Philadelphia sports, there is no “easy” route. The path to the NBA Finals would be the one that created heart palpitations even Jacked 3D pre-workout couldn’t muster. I […]
The Philadelphia 76ers just had their best opportunity for a championship in two decades…. and absolutely blew it. In what might be the most embarrassing playoff loss in franchise history, the Sixers completed their collapse on Sunday night, falling to the Hawks in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semi-Finals. Understandably, the fans are furious […]
As the 76ers left the NBA bubble last season with their tails between their legs after 4 straight losses to the rival Boston Celtics, there was nothing to feel except a sense of relief. Disastrous roster construction had created what was much more like an island of misfit toys than a basketball team. Everyone was […]
This season was supposed to be different they said. It was going to be better they said. But in the end, it was all just a tease. We just got our hopes raised only to have them crushed in an utterly painful and humiliating way. After two soul crushing losses in Games 4 and 5 […]
Think about the feeling you had in the 48 hours in-between Game 5 and Game 6 in the Sixers series against the Hawks. After the historic collapses in Game 4 and Game 5 it felt like the sky was falling. The hope that the Sixers would at least make the conference finals in their best […]
What is there to write and say at this point? You know what happened. A 26 point lead. Up by 24 with 14 minutes left in the entire game. It was supposed to be a bounce-back game after a disappointing Game 4 in Atlanta when they had an 18 point lead at one point. We […]
Last night was likely the Sixers most impressive win of the season or at least since they flew into the All-Star break with a win over the Jazz. It was a masterclass on how to win a playoff game on the road. Bench production, fantastic team defense, stars getting buckets, momentum killing shots. The Sixers […]
It wouldn’t be a day in the life of the Philadelphia 76ers if they weren’t being disrespected by the NBA in some way, shape or form. 2020-21 NBA Defensive Player of the Year: Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert. This is Gobert's third DPOY. — Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) June 10, 2021 Yes, Rudy Gobert has astoundingly […]
Late in the third quarter, you could feel the tides turning in what was a previously raucous Wells Fargo Center. The Sixers were shot out of a cannon to start the game, quickly taking their lead to double digits. The officials made sure it was a close game at half, but again the Sixers raced […]
