Sixers look to bounce back against Brooklyn Nets on the road
The Sixers are coming off an embarrassing loss to the Orlando Magic, getting blown out by 41 points on their own floor. The good news is that they now face arguably the worst team in the NBA this season, the Brooklyn Nets, which should give them a golden opportunity to get back in the win […]

Tyrese Maxey’s minutes continue to be a problem
My apologies to the sanctity of the NBA Cup, but watching the Sixers trot out Tyrese Maxey for 30-plus minutes in a 41-point loss on Tuesday evening is not sitting well with me. The Sixers were down their four non-Maxey starters against Orlando and this bad boy was over at halftime. Despite it all, there […]

It’s beginning to look like last season for the Sixers
The Sixers got off to a promising 5-1 start this season, but they’ve come crashing back to earth over the past few weeks. The bottom fell out Tuesday night against the Orlando Magic, as their injury-depleted husk of a roster got annihilated, 144-103, in by far the worst loss of the season. After the game, […]

The Sixers have a major roster construction problem (again)
Well, it’s Groundhog Day again. Or, at least, it certainly feels like it. The Philadelphia 76ers suffered their worst defeat of the early season on Tuesday night in front of a home crowd, falling 144-103 to the Orlando Magic in an NBA Cup game. Honestly, the score makes it sound somehow closer than it actually […]

Sixers get steamrolled by Magic, crushing what little NBA Cups hopes were left

Where is the national outrage about the Washington Wizards’ rebuild?
The Washington Wizards currently boast the NBA’s worst record at 1-15 after the Toronto Raptors blew them out by 30 points on Friday and they lost a close game to the Chicago Bulls on Saturday. Last Sunday, they got shellacked by the then-1-11 Brooklyn Nets. This slow start hasn’t been an outlier for them, either. […]

Editor-in-chief mailbag: An uneven week for the Sixers
The Sixers have exchanged wins and losses for nine straight games. They haven’t won or lost consecutive games since dropping their Chicago-Cleveland back-to-back earlier this month. It feels kind of appropriate. Over the summer when many of you asked my expectations for this team, I said I believed they’d hover around .500 — that the […]

Tyrese Maxey Foundation hosts largest turkey giveaway yet, hands out 3,000 meals in North Philadelphia
Tyrese Maxey is making an impact. And no, I’m not talking about putting up a career-high 54 points for the Philadelphia 76ers just a few days ago in their win over the Milwaukee Bucks. Saturday morning in North Philadelphia, the Sixers’ guard was putting up even bigger numbers. For the fourth year in a row, […]

Why Tyrese Maxey’s hot start is a great lesson
It was Game 5 at Madison Square Garden. The Sixers were beaten and battered, trailing the series 3-1 to New York. Joel Embiid was essentially playing on one leg and battling Bell’s Palsy. With the Knicks holding a six-point lead with 28.9 seconds left, it felt like it was over — the series, the season, […]

If nothing else, let’s appreciate this Tyrese Maxey season
In the wake of Tyrese Maxey’s career-high 54 points in Philadelphia’s overtime win over the Milwaukee Bucks, it’s time to stop and reassess the season we’re watching unfold from the 25-year-old guard. Now at 33.4 points per game, he’s second in the league in scoring behind Luka Doncic (34.6 ppg). He’s far and away leading […]

Tyrese Maxey is singlehandedly setting a new standard for the Sixers
The Sixers dedicated their offseason to making sure they wouldn’t replicate their 24-win season from a year ago, regardless of who is or isn’t available to play on any given night.
