Honestly have no idea what we’re arguing about anymore.
VJ Edgecombe, the crunch-time machine, got after it once again on the national stage! On Friday evening during the Rising Stars event, Edgecombe played for Vince Carter and Team Vince as part of the All-Star Weekend festivities. When I say this is the most unimportant basketball activity that the beloved Sixers rookie has undertaken in […]
All-Star Weekend gets underway at the Intuit Dome, home of the Los Angeles Clippers, on Friday night! After the celebrity game tips off at 7 p.m. on ESPN, which I cannot fathom anyone on planet Earth caring about, the Rising Stars Challenge begins at 9 p.m. and streams on Peacock! For clarity’s sake, the Rising […]
How about some complaining that’s not Sixers specific for once? The NBA, which I once thought about 15 years ago was primed to leap the NFL in the public consciousness at some point in my lifetime, can’t get out of its own way. What happened to what used to be my favorite sport and my […]
There’s never a good time to get blown out two games in a row. The Sixers are heading into the 2026 All-Star break coming off two of their worst losses of the season. They lost by 17 to the Portland Trail Blazers and followed it up with a 49-point embarrassment against the New York Knicks […]
The Philadelphia 76ers head into the NBA All-Star break at 30-24, good for sixth place in the Eastern Conference. On the surface, that’s perfectly fine, a modest overperformance relative to our preseason expectations. However, the team’s current two-game losing streak is a flashing warning sign for danger ahead. Now, you might be thinking, ‘Two-game losing […]
The NBA Trade Deadline, for better or worse, is behind us. Out goes Jared McCain and Eric Gordon. In comes draft picks and a bunch of seemingly temporary players. Despite what your opinion might be, the Sixers freed up two roster spots and seem to be weighing all options there. But who makes sense? Is […]
Hey, the Sixers only lost by 49 points on Wednesday night! What a way to cruise into the All-Star break! Before this weekend’s festivities, I’m here to hit you with the latest edition of my “5 Sixers thoughts” column. Let’s get after it… The Sixers sure could use Jared McCain and Isaiah Joe right now… […]
The Sixers’ woes against the Knicks go beyond the 49-point thrashing they received on national television on Wednesday evening. They go beyond the remnants of the team’s 2024 playoff loss to New York. When the Knicks come to South Philadelphia, those issues begin before tip-off. The Sixers have a Knicks fan problem that was exacerbated […]

I’m all for being checked out of work the last day before a vacation, but good lord. The shorthanded Sixers limped into the All-Star break, being blown out 138-89 by the New York Knicks Wednesday night. They go into the break 30-24, just a game up in the loss column on the Orlando Magic for […]

The Philadelphia 76ers will be shorthanded again on Wednesday night hosting the New York Knicks. After being listed as questionable throughout the day, Joel Embiid has been downgraded to out for the contest due to right knee injury management. Embiid was also sidelined for this reason on Monday when the Sixers fell to the Portland […]
Make no mistake about it, Monday’s blowout loss in Portland was an unfortunate ending to Philadelphia’s five-game West Coast trip that started off with convincing wins against the Clippers and Warriors. A few days prior to the loss on Monday was a loss in Los Angeles against the Lakers which happened to coincide with an […]
The Philadelphia 76ers have made it back to the Eastern Standard time zone, thankfully. The Sixers are back home in South Philadelphia after a five-game roadie to host the New York Knicks on Wednesday night. The Sixers went 3-2 on their trip out West and have not played at home since the passing of the […]
The Philadelphia 76ers are starting to see the dust settle after the 2026 NBA trade deadline. During that span, the team converted Dominick Barlow from a two-way deal to a standard contract. That move clarified the direction of the Sixers’ now-vacant two-way spot, as they’ll bring in former first-round pick Dalen Terry. The Philly Voice’s […]

What a game to showcase their depth after the trade deadline. The shorthanded Sixers wrapped up their West Coast trip with a 135-118 blowout loss to the Portland Trail Blazers Monday night. Tyrese Maxey carried as much of the load as he could, finishing with 30 and four assists shooting 10-of-21 from the floor. VJ […]

Sheesh, thank goodness this West Coast trip is just about over because something’s going around. Joel Embiid, Dominick Barlow and Quentin Grimes have all been ruled out for the Sixers’ final contest of their road trip against the Portland Trail Blazers. Trendon Watford and Andre Drummond will start in place of the former two. This […]

It’s been a weird week. An underwhelming trade deadline overlapped with what’s already been a successful West Coast swing. The Sixers are 3-1 — and could very easily be 4-0 — during this slate as they take on the Portland Trail Blazers Monday night. They’ll return home to play the red-hot New York Knicks Wednesday […]
Just as the Sixers seemed more normal and the vibes were good, Paul George got suspended… And then they went and gave up on Jared McCain at the trade deadline. It’s rightfully led to a bunch of harsh criticism being thrown their way. But as I try to keep things positive and focused on basketball, while […]
Tyrese Maxey couldn’t be more deserving of his starting spot in this year’s NBA All-Star game, and now it’s been confirmed he’ll be giving us some extra entertainment in the Three-Point Contest as well. Here’s the full lineup of who he’ll be taking on next Saturday: While this year’s group is largely highly experienced veteran […]
