In years past at this time, I was like "damn, can't wait to see what D. House and Watford are going to add to the team." This year I keep forgetting that Dean Wade, Barlow and KCP are even on the team!

Encouraging footage from the LBJ, Maxey and JB workout. I for one am relieved that Lebron can still dunk.

Lebron James is on his long way back to Cleveland. LBJ: Tie me to the mast! I must hear the Sirens! The Sirens: 1,2,3,4,5 6ers 10,9,8,76ers LBJ: Cut the ropes!!!! Rich Paul: Okay.

Don’t really know what to do with myself so taking an extra long lunch break riding around Providence popping wheelies and riding down all the stairs I can find like I am 16. Thanks Lebron.

Besides it being surreal/hilarious that Lebron would ever pick Philly over Cleveland and Miami, he's also at this time in his career the perfect player for this team. Like spurs Boris Diaw or Batum of 5 years ago also would have worked. But this is as good as it gets.

If I was a NBA GM I would have a “no frequent golfers“ rule and I wouldn’t have to worry if the GOAT would join my team. because I wouldn’t let him.

I wouldn't give a damn where Lebron signs and think dragging it out is obnoxious (he has the right) except that he would be a perfect fit for this Sixers team that needs size, playmaking and defense.

I am excited to see how it works with JB. I think he will help bolster lineups with backups and keep them afloat when Embiid is out. I worry that the starting 5 won't be good defensively and the players won't maximize each other's offensive strengths, lowering their celling considerably.

There’s a fine line between being proactive and reactive in figuring out matchups. I think that if Drummond was one of the Sixers best players you wouldn’t want to proactively take him off the floor. but since he’s a role player I do think it should of been foreseen that he can’t guard KAT

Frustrating loss as there were a lot of momentum plays in second half that they couldn’t cash in on. One sequence that sticks out middle of the 4th up 3; missed shot, ORB missed shot, steal, missed shot, Mcbride 3. A score there gives them a chance to create separation. Strong effort.

The Oubre screen on Maxey's first of the two layups at the end was fantastic, totally wiped out White. Next one they ran an improv give-and-go after Maxey picked up his dribble. Simple play, but Oubre giving right back to Maxey was essential. KO setting screens in the clutch of a G7. Incredible.

I can’t believe they already play again tomorrow!

I think a healthy sixers team is just as good if not better than this Celtics team. it probably won't matter because 3-1 is a lot to come back from x2 with Jo's health and Maxey's finger. I am not sold on C's offense which the knicks exposed last year and has only been good in two games so far.

Good night to those Mickey Mouse motherfuckers. i feel like this was a seven game series. Yelling at Bane and his crocodile arms. Onwards to Boston.

Ben_Mulligan @common-nocturne.bsky.social · 13/04/2026
This is good assessment. I might give PG and Embiid C+ because there is some relief that when healthy they are still very good at basketball. I didn't think Watford got a fair shot. But he might only be a good fit with Jo. Bona seems lost. Need more from Edwards, the recent flashes have been nice.

If the Sixers make the playoffs it’s hard to see them winning more than one game. I‘m all for it, I remember the Lou Williams shot against the heat fondly. But would you rather get beat down by the Celtics or pistons? or have the very small chance of keeping the pick?

Ben_Mulligan @common-nocturne.bsky.social · 10/04/2026
down 17 with little to no playoff hopes and I cant help thinking that I love my sixers.

Ben_Mulligan @common-nocturne.bsky.social · 09/04/2026
Don't forget that Jo hit Wemby with a step back 3 while suffering appendicitis for at least a week. Hopefully this makes it less likely they trade him and next year will really be the year. hahahaha.

Ideally I think we want raptors and Miami to split Next two games? Hard To care who wins unless we know what Sixers are going through to do.

Doesn't seem likely that the Rockets will fall another spot, but as it stands now, they would give the Sixers the 20th pick. Not bad at all!

If you zoom out it's very funny to watch McCain and the Sixers team express such joy and friendship towards one another with the caption "Rot in hell Morey, you ruined my family!" Sorry buddy but everyone seems happy and it's not your family.

Ben_Mulligan @common-nocturne.bsky.social · 16/03/2026
I look forward to reading Adam‘s piece. One aspect that is often overlooked is if the Bridges blunder doesn’t happen there’s almost no chance the Sixers have Maxey. it’s possible they would have had more playoff success. But time marches on with speed no need to dwell too long on the past.

I am seeing Black Eyes reunion show with Downtown Boys two weeks from tomorrow. I expect all Sixers to be healthy and happy by then (Maxey at least happy).

@avi-wa.bsky.social Cam Payne scored 32 points last night. Who was the last Sixer to score more points off the bench? (I'm guessing you skipped the game last night otherwise this is very easy).

Ben_Mulligan @common-nocturne.bsky.social · 09/03/2026
Tyrese Martin dreamed for days like this. Cam Payne flew back from Europe to tussle with the bearded one. Today is why Grimes took the qualifying offer. Beauchamp means handsome field in French and Kelly Oubre is blessed. 112-107 Sixers. put it on the board.

Ben_Mulligan @common-nocturne.bsky.social · 05/03/2026
They played like shit, so I sort of understand everyone complaining about the sixers close win. But also, if the Sixers put that roster out every night, they would be in a good position to keep their draft pick. That's a bottom 5 team in the league who shouldn't be expected to beat anyone.

Ben_Mulligan @common-nocturne.bsky.social · 27/02/2026
Are we concerned about Jo’s injury? I know are all used to him being injured but it seems like it could be serious if he’s not able to raise hand without serious pain.

Ben_Mulligan @common-nocturne.bsky.social · 25/02/2026
Can't shake that Watford is perfect budget 4 player for Embiid. He's ability to drive/make entry/interior passes and cut is the perfect pairing (as far as 4's who can't shot go). Hope they get enough time to get more chemistry.

Ben_Mulligan @common-nocturne.bsky.social · 25/02/2026
Hope Harden injury isn't too serious (fractured right thumb). I can't root for the Cavs but was hoping for either an amusing meltdown or a finals berth!

Nothing is going stop me from hating the Jared McCain trade or loving a Cam Payne addition.

It seems incredibly stupid to trade a very talented young player while they are playing their way back from a knee surgery.

Ben_Mulligan @common-nocturne.bsky.social · 31/01/2026
PG did this so they don’t have to dump KO and Drummond. McCain and VJ get more offensive touches and he’s fresh for the playoffs. very heady, good teammate.
000
Ben_Mulligan @common-nocturne.bsky.social · 28/01/2026
With the sixers offense at full power PG should be shooting 10 plus 3’s a game and with the right actions a lot of them should be open.
010
Ben_Mulligan @common-nocturne.bsky.social · 27/01/2026
Still optimistic but also: Sixers have 2/5 of active players from the Bahamas. In the last two years they have had 4/5. If things go south, they could easily re-acquire Kai Jones, and Buddy Hield. Trade Jo for Ayton. Move to Camden go all in with a new theme. Call it the Caribbean of New Jersey.
010
Ben_Mulligan @common-nocturne.bsky.social · 26/01/2026
I know they have struggled but Sixers will need Watford and McCain to beat teams without Jo and PG. Watford was playing really well before the injury the slow roll back doesn't make sense to me.

Well beyond the point where everyone with a platform should be forced to take a side on what’s happening in America. Journalists should not only be making personal statements but asking questions of their subjects as well.

Buter injury is gutting. One my favorite players to watch. I lived in Chicago when he was a young bull and watched him rise. Almost stole our Sixers a chip (or at least an ECF!).

Ben_Mulligan @common-nocturne.bsky.social · 20/01/2026
The funniest thing about the VJ dunk is the concerned look by the vets. All the young dudes are excited, and PG and Kyle are just hoping he's okay.
