LeBron James signing here would be great, but this is exhausting
It is completely understandable to be excited over the possibility of LeBron James choosing to play for the Philadelphia 76ers.

The Jaylen Brown trade makes a lot of sense for the Sixers. I can’t bring myself to like it
Since I’ve had the pleasure of covering games and being around the team for this illustrious blog, I’ve felt proud in my ability to divorce myself from the fandom of the team I grew up with. It’s been easier than I thought it would be to leave those feelings at the door, and that’s only […]
