Latest news and updates about the 76ers
The second round of the 2026 NBA Playoffs has been … interesting. On one hand, there’s been two yawner series, with the Thunder comfortably (albeit not dominantly) sweeping the short-handed Lakers, while the Knicks swept a tired, limping 76ers team in the East. On the other, you have two thrilling (but not “beautiful”) series heading […]
Daryl Morey’s tenure as Sixers’ president of basketball operations has come to an end. He will be remembered in Philadelphia as another key figure who couldn’t get over the hump that is the second round of the playoffs. He leaves the Sixers in a very similar situation to how he found them. The Joel Embiid […]
The New York Knicks are off to the Eastern Conference Finals once again after a sweep of the Philadelphia 76ers. The presence of Villanova is felt each time the Knicks step on the floor and it has been enhanced in the postseason. The Wildcat trio got to advance on the floor at Xfinity Mobile Arena, […]
When OG Anunoby missed the closing minutes of the Knicks’ game two victory over the 76ers, New York fans couldn’t help but expect bad news. After seeing the team’s playoff run suddenly come to a halt just two seasons ago when the forward strained his hamstring, PTSD started to creep in. Thankfully, by the following […]

The Eastern Conference bracket of the 2026 NBA Playoffs is narrowing down to an exciting conclusion. The New York Knicks already vanquished the Philadelphia 76ers in laughably easy fashion. Now the Detroit Pistons and Cleveland Cavaliers are set to meet for Game 5 of their series to see who will travel onward to face Karl-Anthony […]
The offseason has just started for the Philadelphia 76ers, but we’ve already seen a major shakeup, with Daryl Morey out as President of Basketball Operations. Whoever Bob Myers selects to fill the position will inherit some promising pieces, especially the backcourt of Tyrese Maxey and VJ Edgecombe, but also some challenges. Something that slants more […]
The Sixers on Tuesday made the decision to part ways with president of basketball operations Daryl Morey after six seasons. Morey’s tenure had plenty of highs and lows, but he ultimately failed to reach the Eastern Conference Finals, something the franchise hasn’t done in over 25 years now. Bob Myers, who serves as president of […]
Daryl Morey’s tenure in Philadelphia has come to an end. After six seasons as the Sixers’ president of basketball operations, Morey will no longer have that post after meeting with owners Josh Harris and David Blitzer on Tuesday. ESPN’s Shams Charania was the first to report the news. Head coach Nick Nurse will be back […]
As we all turn the page to the offseason, Sixers fans are now in wait-and-see mode as reports swirl about the uncertain futures of president of basketball operations Daryl Morey and head coach Nick Nurse. What we all know is that the team is stuck in a bit of a holding pattern. As we saw […]
A year ago today, the Tom Thibodeau-led Knicks led the Celtics 2-1 in their second-round series, a pleasant surprise for a team with a top-heavy rotation and a spot in East’s pecking order inarguably beneath Boston and Cleveland. The Knicks were a title contender, in that they could conceivably reach the Finals, and their superior […]
The New York Knicks are earning a break for themselves after a Game 4 win against the Philadelphia 76ers that completed a sweep and advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals for the second year in a row. The Knicks will face off against the winner of the other Eastern Conference series between the Detroit Pistons […]
It was a Mother’s Day Massacre in Xfinity Mobile Arena (otherwise known as MSG East South), as the Knicks pulverized a hapless Sixers team to finish off a four-game sweep and make a second consecutive Eastern Conference Finals run. There’s a lot to analyze, but there will be no analysis in this article. Just sheer […]
The New York Knicks are headed back to the Eastern Conference Finals for the second consecutive season after completing a dominating sweep of the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday afternoon. After falling behind 2-1 against the Atlanta Hawks in the Quarterfinals, there were questions to if this current Knicks nucleus could win in the postseason and […]

On this Mother’s Day (call your mom!), the second round of the 2026 NBA Playoffs continues with the Knicks looking to sweep the 76ers in Philly and the Spurs and Wolves dueling in Minnesota. Let’s discuss here! As with all of our game threads (and every post), be cool, be reasonable, and don’t say anything […]
Keep the broom handy. The Knicks will face the 76ers on Mother’s Day in Game Four of the Eastern Conference semifinals at Xfinity Mobile Arena. New York holds a commanding 3-0 series lead and sits one win away from a second straight trip to the Eastern Conference Finals. The Sixers, meanwhile, are desperate to extend […]
Congratulations to Benn Ward, winner of our 2025/26 rookie of the season award! He only had one challenger, John Ryan, but he was a comfortable winner. Ward took 86% of the vote, well ahead of Ryan’s 14%. In truth this result was a bit of a foregone conclusion, and that’s no slight on Ryan. The […]

The Knicks silenced the doubters on Friday night, defeating the 76ers 109-94 to take a commanding 3-0 series lead and move within one win of the Eastern Conference Finals. Even with the return of Joel Embiid, Philadelphia had no answers for New York’s talent and depth. The Knicks weathered an early 12-point deficit, dominated the […]
Anybody could have had Jalen Brunson in the 2018 NBA Draft. Anybody. The Villanova guard was the 33rd overall choice in that selection process, and has since parlayed his old-man game into four 20 point-per-game seasons and three All-Star appearances. That same June night, the Sixers did have Mikal Bridges, albeit briefly. (Perhaps you’ve heard.) […]
Last season, as you may recall, until he injured his knee last December, former Blue Devil Jared McCain was on track to be the surprise Rookie of the Year in the NBA. He got injured again in September, this time a hand rather than his knee, and Philadelphia, feeling it had a crowded backcourt, traded […]
