Game Preview: Philadelphia 76ers Vs. L.A. Lakers
December 16th, 2012 at 3:29 PM
Slowtime’s coming to town!
Tonight, the Philadelphia 76ers(12-11) play host to the floundering Los Angeles Lakers (10-14). As is usually the case with the biggest team in the NBA, most of the narratives around tonight’s game center on the Lakers.
The one Sixer-centric plot that we won’t see played out is how...

Happy Twelvepocalypse!
Tonight, the Philadelphia 76ers(11-9) play host to the Chicago Bulls(12-9). Tonight’s game is the second in a season series of three games. The Bulls won the first meeting in Chicago, 93-88. Since that December 1st game, the Sixers have gone 2-2, while the Bulls have gone 3-2 after last...

Run it back!
Apparently the Sixers and the Celtics had so much fun in their overtime game last night they’re doing it all over again tonight. Only this time, it’s in Boston.
Coming off the heels of an Evan Turner game winner, the Sixers are hoping to take the season series with...

Home Game! National TV! Divisional Rival!
The Philadelphia 76ers(10-8) play host to the Boston Celtics(10-8) tonight in the first game of a home-and-home series. Both teams come in to tonight’s game with the same record, so if one team can manage to sweep tonight and tomorrow’s games, they can create some...

December 1st, 2012 at 6:30 PM
Happy December!
The Sixers(10-6) head to the House that Jordan Built tonight to play the Chicago Bulls(7-7). This is the first time these two teams play each other after the Sixers pulled off the quasi upset against the Bulls in the first round of last year’s playoffs.
The Bulls and Sixers are...
Game Preview: Philadelphia 76ers @ Charlotte Bobcats
November 30th, 2012 at 6:50 PM
After back-to-back home victories, the Philadelphia 76ers (9-6) travel to Charlotte to take on the Bobcats (7-7) in hope of three consecutive wins for the third time this season. The Sixers are 3-2 in foreign settings, while Charlotte has won five of eight at home.
The Bobcats may be one of...

Jrue you want more?!!!??!
I know I do. After an historic performance for Jrue Holiday against the Phoenix Suns on Sunday, the 8-6 Sixers take on the Dallas Mavericks (7-7) at the Wells Fargo Center Tuesday at 7pm. The 76ers are 5-4 this year at home, averaging over 100 points per...

November 25th, 2012 at 5:03 PM
No rest for the weary.
After a valiant losing effort in last night’s overtime loss to the Western Conference Champion Oklahoma City Thunder, the Sixers are back after less than 24 hours to take on the Phoenix Suns.
Coming in to the season the Suns were most notable for their loss...
Game Preview: Philadelphia 76ers Vs. Oklahoma City Thunder
November 24th, 2012 at 6:44 PM
This is a big one.
The Philadelphia 76ers take on the Oklahoma City Thunder at home tonight in what was be looked at as one of the early measures of the Sixers’ ceiling. At least, it would have been if Andrew Bynum were healthy and playing. With the team the way...
Game Preview: Philadelphia 76ers Vs. Toronto Raptors
November 20th, 2012 at 6:52 PM
If you squint really hard, and turn your head just right, it almost looks like a win streak.
The Sixers(6-4) finish their fifth of five straight homes games tonight against the Toronto Raptors(3-7). Tonight’s game is an important one because a win would signify a winning home stand. The Sixers beat...
Game Preview: Philadelphia 76ers Vs. Cleveland Cavaliers
November 18th, 2012 at 11:45 AM
Late Sunday game for the Sixers on a day that includes the Philadelphia Marathon and a thrilling Eagles loss (that hasn’t happened yet) to the Washington Redskins.
In the penultimate game of this five game home stand, the Sixers (5-4) play the Cleveland Cavaliers (2-7). At first, this might seem like...
Game Preview: Philadelphia 76ers Vs Utah Jazz
November 16th, 2012 at 6:55 PM
With 10% of the season in the books, the mantra for Philadelphia so far has been, “It’s just one game.”
Hopefully the Sixers(4-4) have been saying that to themselves in a calm and even tone for the last 48 hours straight in preparation for tonight’s home game against the Utah Jazz(4-5)....
Game Preview: Philadelphia 76ers Vs. Detroit Pistons
November 14th, 2012 at 6:56 PM
The 4-3 Philadelphia 76ers take on the Detroit Pistons(0-8) tonight at the Wells Fargo center. This will be the second game of a six-game home stand for the Sixers; in their first, Philadelphia lost to Milwaukee 96-105. Once again, the Sixers struggled to recover from a slow start against the...
Game Preview: Philadelphia 76ers Vs. Milwaukee Bucks
November 12th, 2012 at 6:32 PM
Is it just me or are the Sixers on a winning streak?
After a 1-2 start to the season, the Sixers head home with a three game winning streak to take on the Milwaukee Bucks(3-2). Granted, the only team from that streak that would be considered a playoff lock would be...
Game Preview: Philadelphia 76ers @ Toronto Raptors
November 10th, 2012 at 7:01 PM
In their fourth away contest of the season, the Philadelphia 76ers (3-2) go to Toronto to face the 1-4 Raptors. As a team, the Sixers have averaged only 87.8 points per game so far this season, good for worst in the NBA. But on the bright side, the 76ers scored...
In Progress: Philadelphia 76ers @ Boston Celtics
November 9th, 2012 at 8:53 PM
Apologies for the late pregame, some travel woes delayed the release. Let's call this one the halftime show.
After a mostly sloppy and lethargic win over the depleted New Orleans Hornets, the Sixers are in Boston to take on the Celtics.
First of all, let me get some procedural stuff out of...
Game Preview: Philadelphia 76ers @ New Orleans Hornets
November 7th, 2012 at 6:06 PM
Put your sunglasses on, guys. This one’s on national TV!
There’s nothing like the New Orleans Hornets to help the Sixers get over back to back blowout losses to the Knicks. Even better for the Sixers is the fact that Eric Gordon, Austin Rivers, and number one overall pick Anthony Davis...
Game Preview: Philadelphia 76ers Vs. New York Knicks
November 5th, 2012 at 5:20 PM
Didn’t we just do this?
Yes and no. The Sixers(2-1) are back in Philadelphia after losing to the 2-0 Knicks 100-84 at Madison Square Garden yesterday afternoon. No rest for the weary, though, as the Knicks have followed the Sixers home. They square off again at 7 tonight in the Wells...

November 4th, 2012 at 12:19 PM
The first game of Daylight Savings Time belongs to the Sixers(1-0) who will play the Knicks(1-0) at Madison Square Garden. Today’s 12pm game is the first of a home and home series with New York.
Home and home series are a great opportunity for two teams to get a feel for...
Game Preview: Philadelphia 76ers Vs. Denver Nuggets
October 31st, 2012 at 6:53 PM
Well, the wait is over(unless you’re waiting to see Andrew Bynum play in a Sixers uniform), as the Sixers season kicks off tonight at home against the Denver Nuggets. It looks to be an interesting game as these two teams now have quite a bit of shared history. Denver is...
