Each Philadelphia major sports team has a new head coach, and fans are starting to develop opinions on each of them.
Sixers coach Brett Brown says Michael Carter-Williams' laid back demeanor was initially frustrating in practice.
The Golden State Warriors handed the Philadelphia 76ers their first loss of the season, 110-90 on Monday night.
Philadelphia rookie Michael Carter-Williams has joined Shaquille O'Neal as the only NBA players to win a Rookie of the Week award to open a career.
I know, I know, I know... the Sixers can't even tank right! I've heard the joke several times, and I get it. The Sixers were supposed to lose as much as possible this year in an attempt to get a great draft pick and (maybe) Andrew Wiggins. And here they are, 3-0, screwing it all up.
Winless for Wiggins is out. Flawless in Philly is so in.
The Sixers continued their stunning start to the season, beating the Chicago Bulls 107-104 on Saturday night.
Thaddeus Young scored 29 points, rookie Michael Carter-Williams started cold and finished hot while John Wall did just the opposite in scoring 26 points, and the Philadelphia 76ers are a surprising 2-0 after pulling away in the fourth quarter Friday night for a 109-102 victory over the Washington Wizards.
After an absolutely improbable, season-opening victory over the two-time defending champion Miami Heat on Wednesday, the Sixers will try to start 2-0 as they visit the Washington Wizards.
Even the most optimistic Sixers fans would have had a hard time imagining what happened Wednesday night at the Wells Fargo Center.
Most expect Andrew Wiggins will play one year playing basketball at the University Of Kansas, and then enter the NBA Draft and become the first overall pick.
The Sixers picked up third year options on forward Arnett Moultrie and guard Tony Wroten, the team announced on Friday.
This week's is a big one. And it of course would be paired with the Sixers making moves to assure themselves of the 2014 NBA Championship.
Spencer Hawes scored 24 points and hit the winning basket late in the fourth quarter to lead the Philadelphia 76ers past the Miami Heat 114-110 on Wednesday night.
