With the NBA offseason set to begin here on the last day of the month of Kyle Schwarber (patent pending), Daryl Morey and the Sixers don’t have many big splashes to make in free agency as it currently stands. After James Harden so graciously opted out of his $47 million player option for this season, […]
Daryl Morey, the Sixers President of Basketball Operations, is one of the most aggressive front office men in basketball. If he believes that something will work, he’s been known to do anything he can to get it done. This was the case in February, when the Sixers acquired James Harden. Now, with the draft […]
For the past few offseasons, Sixers fans like myself have day-dreamed of landing a big name free agent. Despite throwing their names in the hats of the LeBron James, Jimmy Butler, and even Kawhi Leonard sweepstakes, they’ve landed none of those top players. Instead, over the past five seasons, the Sixers have dealt out […]
The old saying goes, “Where there’s smoke, there’s fire.” Glenn Rivers (Sidebar: no, I will not call him Doc. There are two Philly sports related doctors as far as I’m concerned — Erving and Halladay — and quite frankly, Rivers isn’t cool enough nor has he done enough in this town to earn that nickname. […]
“They chose Tobias Harris over me?!

In what bordered disaster early, the Sixers rebounded in the most momentous way possible. An overtime win punctuated by a Joel Embiid wing three with less than a second remaining to take a 3-0 series lead. Finally, the Sixers were on the other side of a blown double lead in the playoffs. A few of […]
Listen, the 16 hours where I was the one seed was the time of my life. I’m never going to forget these 16 hours as the one seed, it was a hell of a run. The Sixers fell to the Suns as their time as the Kings of the East was short-lived. But, the main […]
JJ Redick, while commentating the Miami Heat game for ESPN last night, referenced a quote about things going badly for a basketball team. To paraphrase the quote from Flip Saunders, “don’t say you’ve hit rock bottom because it can always get worse from there”. It took the Sixers about 24 hours to prove that […]
It’s happening! James Harden will officially be making his 76ers debut when the team returns from the All-Star break in Minnesota to face the Timberwolves. There is palpable buzz surrounding his debut and for obvious reasons. The Sixers during the Joel Embiid or “Process” era have been what I deemed, the best 44 minute team […]
The dust has settled on the NBA trade deadline and oh my goodness, Daryl Morey and the Sixers made it happen. After hours of frantic refreshing on social media, James Harden is a Philadelphia 76er. Here’s how it all feels with some time for the trade to sink: James Freakin’ Harden, The Sixers Get […]
