Poor Evan Turner. Hard to imagine a player's value plummeting more over the course of a season than his has. Evan had a chance to shine in a featured role for the Sixers, but was traded to the Pacers, ruined their team chemistry, got in a fist fight with Lance Stephenson, barely played in the […]
I think it’s safe to say that for Sixers fans, the main storyline of the Cavs-Sixers game at the Las Vegas Summer league Monday night was former presumed #1 overall pick Nerlens Noel versus current actual #1 overall pick Andrew Wiggins. And here’s hoping you kept your eye on the prize because there was nothing […]
It's a bit strange to think that today's Orlando Summer League game between the Sixers and Magic is probably the second most exciting Sixers game of 2014 (the first definitely being the night AI's jersey was retired), but that's where were at. The Sixers are selling hope, Sixers fans are buying hope in droves, and […]
YESSSSS, it's finally here! Forget working today, you are filling the hours between now and the draft by watching the USA-Germany match (yes, do yourself a favor and watch that) and consuming every piece of NBA writing you can find that is relevant (or not!) to tonight's events.

Obviously the Draft itself is the main event, as the 2014 roster finally comes into focus. But not to be overlooked is the NBA Summer League, where we all get our first […]
It's a testament to how excited Sixers fans are for this Draft Lottery that I'm going to write a running diary of what is, in any other year, probably the most boring 30 minutes of television one can find. Thankfully my household has enough snark to turn even the most boring of television into something […]
Draft lottery day! Only a short 12 hours or so until we feel either the thrill of pre-ordering your Wiggins jersey, or the agony of debating Noah Vonleh's giant hands versus Julius Randle's motor. To help get you in the mood for lotto balls, here's a roundup of links on today's festivities and the Sixers' […]
Next Tuesday is a huge day for the Sixers faithful. At last, we find out if the tanking was worth it, if the NBA is indeed rigged for the Lakers, and if the Jrue trade was was actually worth it. Yes, its the yearly NBA Draft Lottery, and it's easily the most exciting 30 […]
