Man, it would have been so awesome for this game to have taken place in Philadelphia rather than in Cleveland. Sure, it’s great for the Cleveland faithful to get to see a Cavaliers win live and in the flesh, but you know would be even better? A whole arena of Philadelphia fans (who spent the…

Shake Milton 17 Points Full Highlights (2/22/2020)
After this loss, the potential injury to Ben Simmons, the continued ineffectiveness of Al Horford, and the enigmatic (and not the good kind of enigmatic, either, the bad kind, the kind where you’re like “why isn’t he playing better?”) play of Joel Embiid, it might be time for the 76ers to do what they do…
Read MoreFurkan Korkmaz 17 Points Full Highlights (2/22/2020)
Like Carlos Delfino before him, Furkan Korkmaz will forever be the guy who randomly dropped 30-plus points in two consecutive games. In fact, if you squint your eyes really tight and mess with the color calibration on your basketball-viewing device, you can totally pretend that Delfino is reincarnated on the 76ers but with a midrange…
Read MoreAlec Burks 19 Points Full Highlights (2/20/2020)
I wish I could put “Sixers Debut” in the title of this video, but Alec Burks’ first game with his new team already happened, and it sucked: 2 points in 14 minutes way back before the All-Star break even happened. How are people supposed to remember occurrences from that far back anyway? I could put…
Read MoreFurkan Korkmaz 31 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (2/9/2020)
Furkan “Klaykmaz” Korkmaz is breaking out right in front of our eyes. Elton Brand and the Sixers front office were obsessed with acquiring more shooters at the trade deadline, but maybe their obsession wouldn’t have been so obsessive if they had realized exactly what they had with Korkmaz: a lights-out shooter who can give you…
Read MoreShake Milton Career High 27 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (1/30/2020)
Shake “Shake Shaq” Milton doesn’t actually have that many similarities to the famous Shaquille O’Neal, despite what his nickname (which I came up with just now) would imply. He’s not big like Shaq. He can’t bully people like Shaq. He’s not a perennial MVP snub like Shaq was in his prime. However, Milton does have…
Read MoreRaul Neto 19 Points Full Highlights (1/28/2020)
Brazil-Australia relations have entered a new and unprecedented era of overt hostility thanks to this, dare I say it, DOMINATING display of prodigious point guard play by none other than Brazil’s own Raul Neto. As Neto dominated (there’s that word again, I can’t stop using it) the second quarter against the Warriors, Ben Simmons watched…
Read MoreFurkan Korkmaz 17 Points Full Highlights (1/22/2020)
Furkan Korkmaz scoring the pleasant-but-not-really-mind-blowing amount of seventeen points is starting to become a crisis. This is the fifth time this season he’s scored exactly seventeen, and he’s only scored more than that three times. I know he’s not doing it on purpose, but it really feels like he’s making a specific and coordinated effort…
Read MoreFurkan Korkmaz 17 Points Full Highlights (1/18/2020)
Furkan “The Korkmaster” Korkmaz had a stretch near the beginning of the season where he was pretty good, then he had an extended stretch where he was cheeks, and now he’s starting up another run of decent play. Last game he had 24 (27 if the refs hadn’t unfairly taken away the three-pointer he made…
Read MoreFurkan Korkmaz Career High 24 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (1/17/2020)
Furkan “Korverkmaz” Korkmaz, if the universe were fair and just, should have had 27 points in this game (which would have been even career-highier than this), but the refs, once again showing the gross incompetence that has made them a laughingstock all across the world, took one of his three-pointers away. I figure the 76ers…
