In a second chance to come up large, Joel Embiid, James Harden, and the Sixers fell short yet again in embarrassing fashion as they now head toward the offseason.
Against their hated rivals, the Boston Celtics, the Philadelphia 76ers were just one game away. One game away from proving the doubters wrong, one game away from the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time in over 20 years.
Had one said before the start of the series that the Sixers would lose, many would not have been surprised as the Celtics were favored heading into the matchup. However, after securing a 3-2 lead in the serie ..read more

The Philadelphia 76ers will meet the Boston Celtics for Game 7 of this Eastern Conference Semifinal matchup on Sunday. With a chance to close out the Celtics after taking a 3-2 lead, the Sixers folded at home in the fourth quarter and allowed Boston to get new life after winning Game 6.
With a winner take all Game on Sunday, the stakes will be high, and each team will face ramifications if they lose. With a weird series all together, each team should go into the game with confidence, but a Game 7 of this magnitude tends to rattle some players. With everything on the line on Sunday, let’s take ..read more

Thus far in the Philadelphia 76ers’ postseason, it seems like every player has had “a game.” We had the James Harden Game during Game 1 against the Celtics. The Sixers have had strong showings from Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, and even BBall Paul against the Brooklyn Nets. There was one player who had a quiet impact in Game 5 against Boston, that being Tobias Harris.
It’s no secret that the veteran forward has had his fair share of struggles over the years with the Sixers, especially during playoffs. He’s not exactly the guy you want contesting shots, he primarily relies on layups and the occasi ..read more

Joel Embiid has cemented himself in basketball lore by winning the 2023 NBA MVP. The Philadelphia 76ers‘ center now sits amongst the game’s all-time great big men after a polarizing first nine years in the league.
With his first of back-to-back scoring titles in 2021-22, Embiid became the first center since Shaquille O’Neal in 2000 to lead the league in scoring and became the first foreign player ever to do so. Furthermore, Moses Malone was the last center to average over 30 points per game in a season back in 1982.

After back-to-back disappointing outings against the Washington Wizards and the New Orleans Pelicans, respectively, the Philadelphia 76ers have found themselves back in the win column after defeating the Oklahoma City Thunder. Quite a few Sixers were missing from the lineup tonight; however, thanks to the balanced effort of the motley starting lineup, the team was able to comfortably overcome their opponent.
It’s difficult to say who was the most impressive of the Sixers’ players tonight, but Joel Embiid’s name certainly is one of the first that comes to mind. Philadelphia ..read more

Philadelphia’s aggressive front office tactics are not stopping any time soon. Sean Deveney of Heavy.com has reported from an Eastern Conference executive that the Sixers have “no doubt” asked the Nets about the availability of Kevin Durant and that Daryl Morey is being persistent.
That quote has now been re-reported by NBC and Bleacher Report. But the executive, who remains anonymous, emphasized that any sort of blockbuster move won’t happen immediately.
“It makes sense for them to wait until when more guys will be trade-eligible (on December 15 or January 15, depending on their contracts) a ..read more
