5 things we learned about the Sixers in Vince Rozman’s press conference

Vince Rozman, the Philadelphia 76ers Vice President of Scouting, met with the media this morning to answer some questions regarding the upcoming NBA draft. He obviously didn’t reveal too much information, but he did provide a glimpse into how the Sixers are preparing for the much-anticipated draft on Wednesday. Here are my five biggest takeaways […]

Shake Milton could take the next step in his development under Doc Rivers

Shake Milton made a name for himself last season after injuries to key players propelled him from a seat on the bench to a spot in the rotation. Milton was told by former Sixers coach Brett Brown that he probably wouldn’t be a part of the mix when the season started. Milton then suddenly found […]

A closer look at the rise of Joel Embiid reveals what makes him so special

Few people embody an era of basketball more than Joel Embiid and the Sixers. The guy who laid claim to the nickname “The Process” has been through the highs and lows with the organization. To start with, he was the first prized draft pick after a 19 win season. Embiid was the first cornerstone player […]

Sixers need to pump the brakes on a blockbuster trade

The Sixers would be wise to value depth over star power this offseason. The Philadelphia 76ers haven’t made a single change to their front office/coaching department outside of firing Brett Brown, and yet they’re already being attached to blockbuster trades left and right. Jrue Holiday, Lou Williams, Buddy Hield, Terry Rozier, etc. have all been […]

Sixers: Prematurely hiring Tyronn Lue would be a silly mistake

There’s no rush for the Sixers to hire their next HC. In a report delivered by 94 WIP’s Jon Johnson, it was revealed that the Sixers were “close” to a deal with Tyronn Lue to become their next head coach. While this announcement was somewhat backtracked on, it does seem like this is the route […]

Could Alec Burks be just what the Sixers need right now?

About a week ago, my friend David Esser wrote a piece highlighting the Ben Simmons’ injury.

As Dave also notes, “Burks has really struggled to land a solidified role with the Sixers since […]

What you need to know ahead of Sixers’ opening playoff game

The Playoffs are upon us and the Sixers will be matching up with their rivals, the Boston Celtics. The team will be without one of their stars after Ben Simmons underwent surgery on his kneecap. Without Simmons, many, even in Philadelphia, have seemingly given up on Philadelphia winning this series. That is certainly premature though […]

The Curious Case of Kyle O’Quinn and an expanded playoff role

When Kyle O’Quinn signed his contract for a veteran’s minimum $2.1 million this offseason, it did not come with high expectations. The 29-year-old journeyman has never averaged more than 7.1 points per game nor has he started more than a handful of games. This year, O’Quinn averaged 10.6 minutes per game totaling 3.3 points, 3.9 […]

What to Watch in Sixers’ Regular Season Finale Versus Rockets

The Sixers are preparing for their final game before the playoffs begin. The team will go up against the Houston Rockets. It’s yet to be seen if Joel Embiid and James Harden will play but Ben Simmons and Russell Westbrook are confirmed to be out. Even though this game won’t affect the Sixers’ playoff seeding, […]

Sixers aim to take down the reigning champion Raptors

After nearly five months of not having a meaningful game, the Sixers have reminded their fans of just how up and down they can be. After Brett Brown and his team allowed TJ Warren to drop 53 points in a loss against Indiana, they did bounce back. To follow up that painful game, the Sixers rebounded with back […]
