The Houston Rockets have another first-round pick after trading Christian Wood to the Dallas Mavericks. They have the 26th overall selection in the 2022 NBA Draft along with the third and 17th picks. Houston is experiencing the good problem to have of being in control of too many good picks. The Rockets already have a […]

The Chicago Bulls are expected to make moves to strengthen their roster ahead of the 2022-2023 season. And, with everything going on from injuries to ending contracts, they better get started soon. Lonzo Ball missed the second half of the season and the playoffs because of a torn meniscus in his left knee. Fortunately, it […]

This is the worst-case scenario for the Philadelphia 76ers. In the final week of the regular season, there has been speculation around Matisse Thybulle potentially being unvaccinated. Missing a road game against the Toronto Raptors all but confirmed that the defensive ace has not taken the jab. Normally, this wouldn’t be a big deal in […]

The Philadelphia 76ers entered the final day of the season tied with the Boston Celtics for the Atlantic Division title. Both teams won, however, the Celtics own the tie-breaker. Therefore, the Sixers will open the playoffs as the #4 seed in the eastern conference. Their opponent will be the Toronto Raptors. That creates a rather […]

Wednesday afternoon, news broke that Matisse Thybulle is ineligible to play in the Philadelphia 76ers’ Thursday night’s game in Toronto. This presumably means that Thybulle is not fully vaccinated against COVID-19. The Sixers have not publicly spoken about their players’ vaccination statuses, and this could be why. Ahead of the Sixers’ game against the Toronto […]

The Philadelphia 76ers continued their west coast swing Friday night as they faced off against the Los Angeles Clippers. Being without their top players in Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, Joel Embiid and the Sixers went on to take care of business rather handily. They broke out to a big lead early and never let […]

Luka Doncic of the Dallas Mavericks is one of the top contenders for this year’s MVP award. Despite his outstanding performance this season, many find Doncic’s speed, or lack thereof, to be his Achilles’ heel. Philadelphia 76ers’ small forward Matisse Thybulle definitely agrees with the popular opinion. Ahead of the Mavs vs Sixers game Friday […]

Since joining the Philadelphia 76ers, James Harden has brought multiple new elements to the team. While most expected his scoring to be a key takeaway, it’s his facilitation that has stood out the most. Having an elite-level facilitator in the mix again continues to do wonders for the Sixers’ offense. What Harden’s passing has done […]

Now that there is a good sample size of games, we can properly assess the new-look Philadelphia 76ers. As expected, the addition of James Harden to the lineup has provided a lift in multiple areas, especially on the offensive end of the floor. Given the reputation he built with the Houston Rockets, many zero in […]

When a team acquires a superstar-level talent, it can simplify the game for other players on the roster. Through James Harden’s first three games with the Philadelphia 76ers, this has been one of the main takeaways. Due to Ben Simmons’ absence, guys were forced to do more to help fill the void. Now that another […]

Coming out of the All-Star break, the Philadelphia 76ers have looked like a much different team. Following the mega-deal in the final hours leading up to the trade deadline, James Harden has finally taken the court for his new team. As expected, his presence in the lineup has added an array of new elements to […]

Coming out of the All-Star break, the Philadelphia 76ers’ lineup will look much different than we are accustomed to seeing. Following some extra rest to nurse a hamstring injury suffered earlier in the year, James Harden is expected to make his debut with the Sixers this week. Since the Sixers pulled up this mega-deal at […]

It’s rare for two NBA teams to facilitate a seismic deal at the trade deadline, but we saw one last week. After a months-long saga, Ben Simmons and the Philadelphia 76ers are no longer intertwined. Daryl Morey finally found a suitable return package, acquiring James Harden in return for the disgruntled All-Star. Whenever a trade […]

When the Brooklyn Nets traded James Harden to the Philadelphia 76ers for Ben Simmons, the basketball world stopped for a moment. Everyone was aware that both Simmons and Harden need to be moved. However, no one expected a deal to be made so fast. Reports of Harden’s frustration with the franchise left the Nets stumbling […]

One of the more fluid situations in the entire NBA, the possible talks (or not talks) between the Brooklyn Nets and Philadelphia 76ers have taken on a life of their own. The industry’s most credible reports have suggested there are not serious trade talks happening between the two teams. But when there’s this much smoke could […]

After going 4-1 on their recent homestand, the Philadelphia 76ers hit the road for a two-game stint away from the Wells Fargo Center. First up was a primetime matchup against Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks on Friday night. This game was an odd one, to say the least. After the first six minutes of […]

It’s no secret that Philadelphia 76ers president Daryl Morey wants a superstar in return for Ben Simmons. Morey is reportedly willing to keep Simmons past the trade deadline in order to make this happen, with names like James Harden, Damian Lillard, Bradley Beal and Jaylen Brown on his list of top targets. Harden, Lillard and […]

Following the Philadelphia 76ers’ win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday night, Joel Embiid continually called it a “team win.” While the All-Star center has carried the group to multiple victories over the last month, the supporting cast stepped up big in this TNT showdown, which didn’t feature LeBron James. Every Sixer who took […]

Following a lackluster performance against the Hornets Wednesday, the Philadelphia 76ers took their home floor Friday night, looking to get back on track. Next up on their schedule was a longtime Sixers rival in the form of the Boston Celtics.  From the opening tip, the Sixers asserted themselves as the better team. They ripped off […]

It is no secret Joel Embiid has been the driving force for the Philadelphia 76ers this season. He has elevated his game to new heights and led the charge on both ends every night. Despite finishing second in MVP voting last year, the All-Star center still managed to add to his game. Embiid’s play is […]

Since he arrived to the Philadelphia 76ers, many have come to praise Danny Green. Primarily because he was traded for Al Horford and his massive contract, but also because he brings a lot to the table. Along with being a much better fit in the lineup, Green also brings veteran leadership and championship experience to […]

Philadelphia 76ers fans expected a lot out of their team this season. Unfortunately, the Ben Simmons saga has ensured the Sixers are further removed from title contention than in recent years. Considering the circumstances, they’re in an admirable position this season nonetheless. Joel Embiid remains in Philadelphia, still capable of being the best player on […]

Due to unfortunate circumstances, the Philadelphia 76ers have had a plethora of different starting lineup combinations. One person who isn’t fazed by this is Sixers head coach Doc Rivers. Before the season began, he said the starting lineup could change on a nightly basis. In his eye, the Sixers’ roster has more than five guys […]

In the process, the Sixers also denied Curry from making basketball history, as he […]

Death, taxes, and Stephen Curry raining hellfire on your team. For the longest time, NBA fans accepted that these three things are certain in life. We got accustomed to Curry torturing defenders with his scoring escapades. When the Golden State Warriors visited the Philadelphia 76ers, we expected the same thing to happen. We did not […]

Philadelphia 76ers superstar Joel Embiid has nothing but high praises for his teammate Matisse Thybulle after the Sixers wing locked down Stephen Curry during Saturday’s game with the Golden State Warriors.

Stephen Curry was denied on a three-point attempt in Philadelphia not once, but twice. The Golden State Warriors guard was stifled all evening thanks to a 76ers pest known as Matisse Thybulle. Thybulle is the first player in NBA history to block two of Stephen Curry’s three-pointers in the same contest. He also limited the […]

Stephen Curry’s pursuit of the all-time 3-point shots crown was stifled by the Philadelphia 76ers, who beat Curry’s Golden State Warriors by holding him to just 3-14 shooting. The Sixers held the Warriors to just 93 points, their first time scoring less than 95 this season. Philly holds Golden State to a season-low 93 points, […]

Due to unfortunate circumstances, the Philadelphia 76ers have played most of this season with a limited roster. Because of this, Doc Rivers has been forced to roll out a plethora of different starting lineups. Monday’s matchup against the Orlando Magic was the first time in close to a month the Sixers had their full rotation […]

Things haven’t exactly gone as planned for the Philadelphia 76ers recently. Not only are they in the midst of a season-long road trip, but they’re missing multiple key players as well.

The Philadelphia 76ers took the floor Monday night for the fifth game of their season-long six-game road trip.

The Philadelphia Sixers have announced that Matisse Thybulle will be in the lineup for Saturday’s matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers.

When the Philadelphia 76ers’ roster initially took a hit, the team did a good job remaining competitive. Unfortunately, things have taken a turn for the worst in their recent stretch. While they’ve received some reinforcements in the form of Tobias Harris, the Sixers still find themselves on the wrong end of a four-game losing streak. […]

Through six regular-season games, the play of the second unit has been arguably the biggest bright spot for the Philadelphia 76ers. Multiple factors can be attributed to this early success, but the development of multiple young role players sits near the top. First it was Furkan Korkmaz, who showed nice flashes at point guard when […]

The Brooklyn Nets have a chance to earn a bounce-back victory in Philadelphia against the 76ers on Friday.
