Oh Yeah, The Sixers
Well, it's time
The playoffs are here, and honestly, if you're still scarred from last year and just want us to wake you up if they make the ECF, not mad at all, self-care is the best care. Not me though, I'm back and ready to be hurt again baby! No cowards allowed.
Eastern Conference Playoff Predictions!
Sixers over Raps in 5
Heat over Cavs in 5

Bucks over Celtics in 7
ECF
Sixers over Bucks in 7
Yes, I'm picking the Sixers to finally get out of the second round and not only make it to the ECF but to win. The roster is weird and Doc Rivers is an old, stingy asshole but other than that, why not us? If that's not Playoff Motherfucker enough for you, check your pulse.
Why the Sixers will win the East
In their first two series atleast, they'll have the best and arguably second best player and that absolutely means something. I do think (pray, believe, whatever) James Harden has one more gear and if all else fails, Mad Max will always have my back.
Why the Sixers won't win the East
Injuries to the Big 3 or surrounding cast, Deandre Jordan turns to dust, Doc Rivers being, well, Doc Rivers.

Our Guys
We're all (rightfully) shitting a collective brick just thinking about the Harden extension this summer. MOC has 4 very important questions leading up to that decision.
Some would argue that given this is the 2000th time thee's been a Sixers/Raptors playoff series both teams know each other extremely well. For good measure though, AU got the lowdown on the visitors from Blake Murpy.
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!
Peace, Love and Process
