If the Flyers and Sixers played each other on the road, who would win?

My gut tells me the Flyers would win a hockey game and the Sixers a basketball game. But I wouldn’t bet on it.

Game would never end. They'd go to a shootout and neither team can make a shot so it goes on forever.

Zion is chonk.
Thicc. thicc is the term I would use.

The Sixers are guessing on offense. BB's gotta throw the current offense out and go set heavy from here on out.
The way we execute out of timeouts vs the way we execute on the fly in the half court is night and day.

This team was built to exploit size mismatches but it doesnt do so enough because there arent set roles in the offense.
Thats why you get ice cold JRich passing to Jo at the 3 pt line with 2 seconds on the shot clock down 6.

The Flyers and Sixers are franchises that continue to spin their wheels.....it is maddening.

Not a basketball expert by any means, but would a coaching change help the Sixers? If so, who is out there?


david blatt, exellent defensive coach, got the cavs to the finals and almost beat the warriors.

im surprised no one in the nba has considered getting him.

Will a coaching change matter if Simmons won't listen to the next coach also?

This "team" is playing like a bunch of individuals. They don't look like they are having much fun....on the court at least. They need some kind of leadership. It's not really coming from the players and they don't seem interested in listening to the coach. I don't know what coach would get this team going....they need something to right the ship quick. Trade Scott for one.....going invisible is just uncalled for.

Assuming a coaching change is not in the works, I think the best move for right now is to move Horford to the backup C spot. He's just not playing anywhere near the level that he's capable of (unless he's fallen off a cliff since last season). I would seriously consider starting Matisse at the 3 when he gets back, that has the added benefit of moving Harris to his natural position of PF. Until Matisse gets back, go with Burke. And I wouldn't rule out both of them in the starting lineup if things don't improve. But I think either of them would improve spacing (for both Embiid and Simmons) and ball movement once you get past the first 7 or so seconds of the shot clock.

Also, we probably should keep in mind what's going on back home...



I have friends in Sydney, the fires haven't gotten in the city but they can see and smell the smoke.

Sacramento would be the team that still doesn't understand Kuzma is actively bad.

Contract situation or not, Bogdanovic being on the table at all in that deal is completely absurd.
