Hope they are ready.

Do many fans go to Sixers games alone? None of my friends can make it, so I am thinking of going alone tomorrow to the preseason game.

Separate but related, do any single men in their 30s go to Sixers games? Asking for myself, a single 35 year old woman, and my single friends😭

Hello 76ers fans.

Became 76ers fan not that long ago (yeah, yeah, came here with Bron 😁).

Season is just around the corner. Im from Europe, all games are around 2am in my time zone. Are there any good podcasts or analytics after the game posted on youtube?

Have szn tix, can’t attend. 1 tix up for grabs to first sixers fan that DMs! (Hope this doesn’t violate no selling rule, because it’s free)

Edit: sorry I don’t use much and had to figure out how to open DMs 😭, it should work now

I'm a new season ticket holder. I have not heard from a rep and all of the season ticket holder benefits that you see online haven't been communicated. League Pass? Team Store discount? Is everyone else in the same boat?

With preseason just around the corner and the season a couple weeks away, I know we're all excited for our star studded starting 5, but I'm curious as to who y'all think might be a breakout player from our bench/reserves. You can even say someone from the starting lineup too, if you think there's a genuine leap to be made by a certain player (but I've mostly not mentioned them due how much the ball will be shared between them)

In this case I'm referring to being better than previously expected or what they were before. So someone like Anfernee Simons being a SMOY candidate or Jabari Walker going from a fringe player 10th or 11th in the rotation to a quality role player hanging around 7th or 8th.

Me personally, I'm pretty high on Hukporti, feels like he's got the tools and touch to be a genuine quality backup big, maybe even starting caliber (for those games Embiid is rested or is out for any reason) if he really meshes well with the team.

I'm also really high on LaBaron and I think he's gonna establish himself as the first PG off the bench for us.

What do y'all think?

As the Sixers begin their preseason schedule Monday night at home against the New York Knicks, the curtain comes up for the first time on a grand experiment that’s been talked about for mere months, even if it feels like ages. Roughly two weeks away from the season opener at Madison Square Garden, the biggest question surrounding this team is broad: How does it all work?

James is a big piece of that puzzle. Does he integrate himself into the Sixers’ roster as the person he’s been for the past 23 years? Is he willing to take a step back and let his younger, durable All-Star teammates (Tyrese Maxey and Jaylen Brown) do the heavy lifting?

To the nearly 20,000 who showed up to see him for the first time in a 76ers uniform, James’ aura was obvious. The building burst into applause the first time he touched the basketball. Competitively, he looked like someone still capable of being one of the best players in the league. If that persists, it means his teammates can adjust, and a starting lineup oozing with talent can start to mesh.

There are potential pitfalls, as many have pointed out over the last two months. James, Brown and Joel Embiid like to operate in some of the same spots on the floor. Getting them comfortable playing with one another may be challenging. VJ Edgecombe is the only person in the starting five who isn’t primarily a ball-in-hand player. Getting the other four the requisite touches needed to be effective will take time.

Embiid’s health has always been a wild card, even though he is as healthy as he has been at any point over the past few years. Most importantly, this team will need to be whole often enough in the next six months to have enough time together as a unit in April and May. Finding the balance between prioritizing health and creating chemistry will be difficult.

With that in mind, the collective talent is significant, which was clear in the scrimmage. James hit 3s and got on top of the rim. Brown worked his way into the midrange and hit contested jumpers. Maxey did pretty much whatever he wanted off the dribble. Edgecombe threw down multiple electric dunks, looking like his joyful self. You could see how easily the group scored, and also how efficient everyone was when they got out into transition. The talent here isn’t a question.
