Oh Yeah, The Sixers

Simmons Watch (Day: Ah Fuck whatever)
No news is...no news? I guess. Things seem pretty status quo: Ben hates the Sixers, Sixers aren't taking less than your firstborn for Ben, and the miscreants of society still curl in the squat rack. We are all in hell. There was a nice little nugget that Ben and his camp felt some kind of way after Doc Rivers (HONESTLY, maybe the most honest thing he's ever said) gave a stern "IDK" when asked after game 7 if Ben could be the point guard on a championship team.Â
Turned to the Max(ey)
It feels like summer league was Tyrese Maxey's second or third coming out party but regardless, it's great to see the general consensus from league types be that he's more than special, because his role sans Simmons will be ultra important and that's just fine with me. Would love to see Doc Rivers and staff use the regular season to really help guys like Maxey and Isaiah Joe & BBall Paul grow and mature.Â
19 Days till Training Camp
I genuinely can't believe it, we're only a few weeks away from doing this shit all over again. I normally have a great idea of how I think the roster will shake out but this has been far from a normal summer and something tells me we've only seen the half of how crazy shit is about to get before things round into shape.Â
Get The Shirt! Save The Dogs!
Providence Animal Center saves the lives of thousands of homeless dogs and cats every year. Our goal is to raise $15,000 for them with our Bark In The Park team, as we do every year. The event is October 23rd, and you can join the team or donate right here. Of course, we always have a stupid shirt. Join the team and raise at least $75 and get the stupid shirt to the left, with a doggie hall of fame list on the back.
The Rest From The Best
