Sixers need plenty of improvements to keep season alive in Game 4 vs. Knicks
That was a tough one. After a closely fought Game 2 without Joel Embiid, Game 3 felt like it was going to be a solid chance for the Sixers to get their first win of the series in his return. OG Anunoby, who’s been excellent all around in these playoffs, being sidelined with a hamstring […]
Nick Nurse has no choice but to run his stars into the ground
We all know what the problems are for the Sixers against the Knicks and we all know they can’t be fixed during this series. After losses in Games 2 and 3 against New York, we can no longer simply point to the sub-48-hour turnaround from the first round to the second round as a reason […]
Manpower shortage dooms Sixers; reinforcements needed
Anybody could have had Jalen Brunson in the 2018 NBA Draft. Anybody. The Villanova guard was the 33rd overall choice in that selection process, and has since parlayed his old-man game into four 20 point-per-game seasons and three All-Star appearances. That same June night, the Sixers did have Mikal Bridges, albeit briefly. (Perhaps you’ve heard.) […]

Despite Embiid’s return, Sixers drop Game 3 vs. Knicks, fall down 3-0
Yeah, this is going to be a harder one to come back from. The Sixers were outclassed again by the New York Knicks, falling 108-94 in Game 3 and into a 3-0 series deficit. After missing Game 2, Joel Embiid never looked quite right, finishing with 18 points shooting 7-of-17 from the floor along with […]

Joel Embiid available, OG Anunoby out for Game 3
Fitting with the day-to-day designation he was given, the Sixers injury report lists Joel Embiid (ankle sprain, hip soreness) as questionable for Friday’s Game 3 of their second round series against the Knicks. With Philly down 2-0 in the series to New York, things shift to South Philadelphia for Games 3 and 4 this weekend. […]

You owe it to the Sixers to keep believing in them
After two losses at Madison Square Garden, the Sixers return home for the first time in over a week facing another two-game deficit in a best-of-seven series against one of their rivals. This time it’s a 2-0 hole against the New York Knicks, a series deficit Philly has never been able to dig out of […]
Sixers-Knicks series heads to South Philly for Game 3
Staring down the possibility of a 3-0 series deficit, the 76ers return home to South Philadelphia to host the New York Knicks for Games 3 and 4 of their second-round playoff series. The Sixers trail the Knicks 2-0 in the series thus far after dropping the first two games at Madison Square Garden. Game 1 […]
OG Anunoby’s hamstring injury could change the entire series
After two contests in New York, one that was over by the third quarter and one that came down to the final minutes, the Philadelphia 76ers trail the Knicks in their Eastern Conference Semifinals series, 2-0. Joel Embiid missed Game 2 with hip and ankle injuries and his status remains up in the air moving […]
Sixers need to remedy turnover issues to get back into series vs. Knicks
Throughout the first two games of this series the Knicks have been able to slow down the Sixers’ offense in a way they really hadn’t experienced in their first-round series against Boston. On top of the 4-of-19 shooting performance that sunk them in the fourth quarter of Game 2, they’ve really struggled to take care […]
Dominick Barlow was ready for his playoff moment — another might come soon
When you’re not a mainstay in a playoff rotation, you never know when your number is going to be called. In the case of Dominick Barlow, who played 54 total minutes in the Sixers’ first eight playoff games (mostly in garbage time), he had a decent idea his services would be needed Wednesday night. With […]

Embiid-less Sixers show fight but run out of gas, fall down 2-0 with Game 2 loss to Knicks
NEW YORK — Shooting 4-of-19 from the field in the fourth quarter isn’t going to get it done. The Sixers ran out of steam, falling 108-102 to the New York Knicks in Game 2, falling to an 2-0 series deficit. Tyrese Maxey started the game great as a scorer but struggled taking care of the […]

Joel Embiid ruled out for Game 2 vs. Knicks
From the last thing this team needed department, the Sixers will be without Joel Embiid for Game 2 at Madison Square Garden Wednesday. The star big man has officially been ruled out against the New York Knicks with a right ankle sprain and right hip soreness. The Sixers were already in a 1-0 series hole […]
The Sixers will need more than fresh legs to bounce back vs. Knicks
The 39-point defeat the Sixers suffered in Game 1 of the second round at the hands of the New York Knicks was disappointing, but not that surprising. Not just because the Sixers weren’t wearing what’s become their lucky white jerseys, but it was a very quick turnaround from their Round 1 triumph in Boston to […]
For as great as he’s been, Joel Embiid’s health still looms over everything
Make no mistake, the Sixers coming back from 3-1 down in their first-round series against the Celtics is by far their biggest playoff achievement in the last 25 years. It’s no surprise that the comeback was fueled by the return of Joel Embiid. The former MVP became the first player in NBA history to score […]
5 Sixers thoughts after their Game 1 blowout loss in New York
A Game 1 stinker for the Sixers against the Knicks? It wasn’t ideal, but the Sixers have rebounded from such losses already in the postseason and, in defiance of how I’ve looked at this team for so long, I have confidence they will again. Before they have a chance to do so in Game 2, […]
What do Sixers need to beat Knicks in Game 2?
The Sixers’ second-round opener against the Knicks was about as tired and lop-sided as it could have been. A sub 48-hour turnaround after beating Boston left the Sixers with minimal time to recover and go against the Knicks at full throttle, and it showed. The Sixers lost 137-98 in Game 1 on Monday, and there’s […]
Nick Nurse away from Sixers to attend funeral of his brother
Sixers head coach Nick Nurse is away from the team to attend the funeral services of his brother, Steve, who died unexpectedly last week. Gina Mizell of The Inquirer was the first to report the news: “Steve Nurse, 62, died last Wednesday, the day before Game 6 of the Sixers’ first-round series win over the […]
