Terrible Basketball Column Sends Us Through The Looking Glass
Writing parodies of a terrible sports columns is a thing that all the cool kids on the internet like to do these days. On Sunday, our friend @FanSince09 wrote one such column at Zoo With Roy about the Philadelphia 76ers' decision to hire the analytics-driven Sam Hinkie as their general manager. It w...
Jrue Holiday Made Two Shots Last Night. Here's A Video Of The Other 22 He Missed.
The 76ers went into last night's game at the Bobcats with a three-game winning streak. Mathematically, Philly is still in contention for a play—hahahaha, let's cut the crap. The Sixers lost, and Jrue Holiday might still be missing shots somewhere, even now....

The Philadelphia District Attorney Trolled Andrew Bynum's Bum Knees
Today Philadelphia's district attorney got on the Twitter to muse about opening an investigation into Andrew Bynum's lack of contributions to the local basketball club.

Andrew Bynum Will Probably Never Play A Game As A Sixer
Nominal 76er Andrew Bynum basically confirmed what Philly fans had feared, and what most everyone else had expected: he will likely sit out the rest of the season, after running into yet another setback with his knees. Bynum spoke up this afternoon, about 10 days after saying he was "100 percent" su...
Doug Collins Has Hit A Wall In Philadelphia, Like We All Knew He Would
It's getting harder and harder to remember that the Philadelphia 76ers, who just polished off a six-game losing streak and sit in the dregs of the Eastern Conference at 22-33, were full of hope coming into this season. It was less than a year ago that a plucky Sixers team scrapped its way into the ...
Carmelo Anthony Slaps Spencer Hawes, In That Special Carmelo Anthony Way
Last night as most of us were watching Renee Zellweger maybe overdosing onstage at the Oscars, the New York Knicks defeated the Philadelphia 76ers in a semi-important game, since it put an end to New York's four-game skid. The most notable thing that happened, though, was midway through the third q...
Andrew Bynum's Hair Is Just All Fucked Up Now
The only thing worth talking about that has come from Andrew Bynum's first season with the 76ers has been the big man's ever-changing, ridiculous hairstyles. Today, Bynum met with the local media to give an update on the progress of his rehab (Spoiler alert: he's still a few weeks away from returni...
Blake Griffin Switches Hands Mid-Dunk
This is reminiscent of (but not nearly as pretty as) Michael Jordan switching hands in Game 2 of the 1991 Finals against the Lakers. It's not as fluid and obvious as Jordan, but that same hesitation is there and, anyway, Griffin's game has never been about pretty. It's about power and this is what...
Sixers Fan Buys 18 Tickets To Tonight's Game For Less Than A Dollar
The Sixers are five games under .500 and hosting the Indiana Pacers isn't doing the Wells Fargo Center any favors, either. Things are so desperate in Philly that one fan was able to scoop up 18 tickets on stub-hub for $.04. He bought the entire row and told Ryan Petzar he did so because it "seemed l...
James Harden Crossover Gives Jrue Holiday Whiplash
The Philadelphia 76ers beat the Houston Rockets 107-100 last night and oh, who cares? Do yourself a favor: skip to the :09 mark of this video and watch in slow motion how James Harden crosses up Jrue Holiday. Looks pretty bad, right? Now go back to the beginning and watch in real time as James Har...
Doug Collins Bought 18,000 Big Macs Last Night
Every time the 76ers score over 100 points or more, each fan in attendance at the Wells Fargo center gets a free Big Mac. Last night, Doug Collins’s team got the ball back with just under 24 seconds left in the game, up on the Hawks 99-80. The conundrum: going for the points could seem like showing ...
Surveillance Cameras Capture Shooting After Argument Over Bulls-76ers Game
The video above was released by the Philadelphia police department tonight. It depicts what the police say is three men getting into an argument on the SEPTA El train about the Bulls-76ers game that took place in Philly on Wednesday night. The two men by the door of the train can be seen arguing w...
Andrew Bynum Finally Explains What's Going On With His Hair
Man, Andrew Bynum is such a bummer. Yesterday, he spoke to reporters about the status of his weakened knees, and he didn't have much to offer in the way of encouragement. His left knee still hurts a lot, his right knee is not as swollen as it used to be, and he has taken up swimming. That about cov...
The 76ers' Website Apparently Was Selling "Drew Holiday" Jerseys A Little While Ago
Drew Holiday! Isn't he the guy who leads the Sixers in scoring, assists, and minutes played this season? He's not? Really? Because I could swear that guy has a name that sounds a lot like Drew Holiday, which must be why the Sixers were so eagerly pushing his jersey with a banner ad at the bottom of ...
Report: Andrew Bynum Hurt Himself While Bowling
Andrew Bynum will finally play for the 76ers when ... oh, who fucking knows? Bynum hasn't played or practiced this season because he and his haircut were traded to Philly this summer with chronic knee problems. The injury that had kept him sidelined was a bone bruise in his right knee, and Bynum has...
