How the Nets Win Game 3

NBA.com The Nets did what they needed to do. They split the first two games in Philadelphia to give themselves the opportunity to take a commanding series lead at home. After a rough Game 2, a game where the 76ers scored 51 points in the third quarter, the Nets need to make several adjustments in order to take Game 3. With Embiid needing to rest his injured knee, Boban Marjanovic found himself playing 18 minutes gathering up 16 points. The Nets were daring him to shoot the mi

All year we’ve watched the best of the best play this wonderful game of basketball. With the season concluded it's time to determine who put their franchise in the best position to win.

Jokic is a wizard with the ball in his hands. He might even already be the best passing center in the history of the league. His defense is still shoddy but has made minor improvements. What he does on the offensive end more than makes up for it. 9. Kyrie Irving

Philly.com The Atlantic Division is no joke. The Toronto Raptors, Philadelphia 76ers, Boston Celtics and Brooklyn Nets would all make the playoffs if the season ended today. Even the 37 games under .500 New York Knicks provide constant entertainment for their fans with blockbuster trades, Zion Williamson hype and Dennis Smith Jr. slams. The five teams are home to some of the premier players in the National Basketball Association. So we might as well rank them. Here are the de

Rountable: Who Is Golden State's Biggest Challenger?

Golden State of Mind You made your pick, now our writers make theirs! Dennis Dow: Houston Rockets Reading that team name makes you think that I might be confused and think that it is last year, but I assure you I am referring to this year. The Houston Rockets have had a difficult season and they have managed to stay afloat thanks to a historic stretch of scoring from James Harden, probably the NBA's least liked superstar. While the Warriors at times have looked unbeatable t

Roundtable: Favourite & Least Favourite Moves Of The Trade Deadline

Raptors HQ Favourite Cam Tabatabaie: I love the Gasol trade. Even at 34, he's a former All-Star and a tested veteran. More importantly, the move checks two important boxes for Toronto. First, the best of the East all got better at the deadline. The Bucks earned key rotation players, the Sixers took a shot at building a Big 4, and the Celtics opened up a roster spot for future buy out player signings. Toronto needed to make some sort of upgrade just to keep pace. Gasol certain

NYK receives: Furkan Korkmaz PHI receives: Noah Vonleh Furkan Korkmaz isn’t a wanted player in Philadelphia. He’s had some good moments this season, yet if the Sixers front office truly wanted him they would have exercised the third year option on his contract before the 2018-19 campaign begun. Alongside Landry Shamet and J.J. Redick, he’s been their most consistent three-point threat. Simply put, G.M. Elton Brand and coach Brett Brown don’t think the 21-year old provides en

Because of this, the Sixers are reportedly open to moving on from Fultz and that he may welcome a change of scenery. The 20 year old guard is currently rehabbing, trying to recover the jump shot that has eluded him for years. Even then, the Sixers may be better off in moving the guard to try to address what has proven

Examining the Philadelphia 76ers Bench

Philly.com The Philadelphia 76ers are one of the top teams in the Eastern conference. Their core of Ben Simmons, Joel Embiid, and new addition Jimmy Butler are handling their business on the court, and they deserve all the praise they get. But as good as they’ve been, the rest of the team haven’t played all that well. The Sixers are seventh in the NBA in points per game at 114.2. They score the ball a lot and efficient on offense, but their bench is only averaging 30.9 points

Markelle Fultz Diagnosed With Thoracic Outlet Syndrome: a Little Clarity

Finally, clarity. It’s what Markelle Fultz and the 76ers have been striving for since the two were paired together in the 2017 NBA draft. The well-documented history of his shoulder and shot can be read in my last article about my theory (which has now been debunked), so this article will be a look into what exactly Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS) is. The region known as the thoracic outlet is the space made from the first rib and the clavicle (collarbone). There are many nerv
