The Sixers are being slept on ahead of the 2025-26 NBA season
Heading into the 2024-25 NBA season, the Sixers were on the short list of championship favorites. They had a preseason win total of 50.5 and had the fourth-best odds to win the title, trailing only the defending champion Celtics, the Thunder (who eventually won) and the Knicks.

Sixers open season in Boston amid lowered expectations

The NBA on NBC is back and has us feeling nostalgic
For many people, myself included, the NBA on NBC represents the first era of NBA basketball they were alive for. To be clear, while there was a stint from 1954-62 in which the NBA was on NBC, the 1990-2002 run is a run that an entire generation of NBA fans grew up with. Of course, […]
