Oh Yeah, The Sixers
What the hell is troubling me? I'm still very much a playoff Motherfucker, but here's the top things worrying me pre-playoffs.
1. The Backup Bigs
We literally can't beat this dead horse enough. This carousel of BBQ chicken that Doc Rivers and Daryl Morey are relying on is truly the biggest issue with this team at the moment. The same issue that has plagued them for the past 3 seasons, was kinda sorta fixed at the beginning of this year, but reared it's ugly head again post Harden trade. I truly wish this trade had happened 5-7 days earlier, it would have atleast given Morey time to look at an actual landscape and get a deal structure in place for an adequate Andre Drummond replacement.
2. Playoff Shake
Looks like he beat Korkmaz in the quiet tournament for the last rotational spot and rightfully so, Kork has been putrid a good part of this season. However, I really hope these last 2 weeks are time enough for Shake to get his timing and feel down and ready to run that second unit.
3. Aggressive Mad Max
I understand Doc and his teammates in his ear telling him it's OK to look for his shot and get a little selfish but I'm hoping they're helping him on the court as well. Saying and doing are two different things and focusing on getting him started at the onset of games might be more important than anyone else.
4. Embeard Playoff Workload
When it gets down to brass tacks, the length of this team's playoff life will depend on 21 and 1. Would be extremely nice and advantageous though if they got the Tobias they've gotten the past 3 games, and a renewed sense of offensive awareness from Matisse Thybulle (shut up, we can dream!)

Our Guys
In a Sixers season where anything has been and is possible, AU asks, what if this year just isn't the year?
Charity Spotlight
The South Philly Fridge is a community-centered, volunteer-based organization dedicated to giving all Philadelphians access to fresh and healthy food, combatting food insecurity and inequality in our city through mutual aid.
Studies show that nearly 1 in 5 Philadelphia families struggle with hunger, and food pantries' demand for fresh produce has increased 3x since 2019.
They partner with local grocers and restaurants to stock this fridge with perfectly good produce, pantry staples, and prepared foods that would otherwise be thrown out.
Read more about the fridge and how you can help!
