The Sixers enter tonight's contest in South Philly sitting at 0-14 to start the season. The worst start to any season in NBA history was in 2009-2010, when the Brooklyn (then New Jersey) Nets dropped 18 straight before finally beating the Charlotte Bobcats. You can bet the Nets wouldn't mind wiping that record off the books, […]

Because if you are a Sixers fan (which presumably you, reader of Sixerdelphia, are), this was the only […]
At the beginning of last season, the Sixers and the Bucks were perceived as two teams moving in opposite directions. The Sixers had just traded their franchise point guard Jrue Holiday, drafted McDubs and Nerlens, and signaled the onset of an epic tank job. The Bucks, coming off a 8th seed appearance in the playoffs, […]
ESPN is reporting today that our beloved, tank-happy Sixers are fighting the NBA on the implementation of changes to the draft lottery.
