The Sixers, riding a 24-4 run to open the game, got their best win of the season tonight, thumping the Detroit Pistons 89-69 in South Philly tonight.

USA Today Images The Sixers and Raptors are 2 teams headed in the opposite direction right now. Grant, not like they will ever meet in the middle this season, the Raps are a million times better than the Sixers.

The Sixers might be bad, but darn if they aren't interesting and/or entertaining. We may be at the bottom, but everything is looking up and gosh darnit theres a PLAN! Now the Hornets? Ugh. Hornet's fans probably wish they could swap to the Sixers. After bottom out with 7 wins in the lockout shortened 2011-12 […]

It was a mason’s convention down in Atlanta tonight, as the Sixers and Hawks produced enough bricks to build a small village. The Hawks ultimately prevailed 95-79 behind 17pts apiece for Kyle Korver and Paul Milsap. Alexey Shved led the Sixers with 13pts, and MCW broke his streak of great games with a near quadruple […]
In his post-game interview with Molly Sullivan, Michael Carter-Williams said, “We played an unbelievable game.” You can say that again. The Sixers snapped their 17 game skid to start the season, beating the Minnesota Timberwolves 85-77 and avoiding tying the record for longest losing streak to start a season by one loss (pause for self-promotion: […]
