Oh Yeah,The Sixers
Hell week was literally the closest thing to actual hell. They did not have fun nor did they stay healthy, but nonetheless, no better way to cleanse the collective palate than boat-racing the tanking Thunder & shorthanded Hawks and securing a playoff spot in the process. We move!
5 Big Questions
Are the vibes off?
Let's just say I'm one more 4 game losing streak away from firing up my sage stick. The guys are fine though. Injuries and compressed schedules are something every team is fighting in these very late season dog days and hopefully the Sixers are through their last stretch of aches, pains and strains.
How do the Nets have so many guys?
Fuck if I know, man. No Harden, no problem, Mike James, From Russia with Love (Literally, he was playing in Russia) has a nice 11 and 8 waiting for opposing teams.
Biggest concern heading into the final 11 game stretch?
Health & Cohesion. The team is still very much alive for a potential number one seed and I don't see Doc Rivers pulling on the reigns until he's sure that they are eliminated from that contention or have officially distanced themselves from Brooklyn. It feels like it's been forever since the starting lineup has been on the court together, which is sure to bother synergy and rythym on both sides of the ball so yes, they have many reasons to coast and try to get healthy and many reasons to go full pedal to the metal.
Playoff Maxey?
Yes, Inshallah
Who would play you in a movie about your life?
Freeway. Easy

The Rest From The Best
Sixers did exactly what they should have done to an outmatched and short staffed Hawks squad last night. Sixers Adam has his three normal things from a spirited affair.
Matisse Thybulle has been on a defensive heater these last few weeks. The answer to how is offense can match that high degree of output may ironically lie with how the Nets use one of their own. Mike O'Connor has the breakdown.
62 games in the books and we still don't know shit. Or atleast we have no clue really just how good any of the "contending" teams are in the East. Andrew Unterberger has it all laid out for us.
Charity Spotlight
The Institute for the Development of African-American Youth, Inc. (IDAAY) was founded by S. Archye Leacock and a colleague in May 1991. This organization has been formed in response to the alarming statistics characterizing the high level of violence reflected in the lives of disadvantaged youth in the Philadelphia area.
For almost 30 years, IDAAY has been providing educational, cultural, prevention and intervention programs and support services that aims to reduce high-level violence to underserved urban youth.
