Jerry West lived a profound basketball and American life — iconic as a player, executive and looming figure in the history of the game. He was an MVP, a champion, a gold medalist, a dynasty-builder and literally the league’s logo. His loss leaves a massive void.

Another lost 76ers season. The Process failed. For those that are optimistic, do you trust Morey? That's the $64,000 question.

But Morey is in charge. Good luck.
I don’t know why, but I’m more optimistic after this playoff loss than after any other playoff loss since 2001. A future without Tobias Harris is a bright one.

A lot of articles today start with something such as ‘while The Sixers lost’…listen, there are always positives to take out odds anything, but when they become repetitive, that is not the way to be. The Sixers lost, period. Eleven years, and not to the conference finals.

My father always taught me to focus on the present but always looking one step ahead. Do the Sixers have enough left in the tank on Thursday?

Joel Embiid simply cannot criticize the fans. The optics are so bad here.

The Sixers paid Paul Reed a whole lot of money. He's not a good player.

Way too much whining on every single call. Enough. Play the game.

“I didn’t mean to hurt anybody. In those situations, I got to protect myself, because I’ve been in way too many situations where I’m always the recipient of the bad end of it. It was unfortunate” - Joel Embiid (Via @PHLY_Sixers )

ESPN Sources: Sixers star Joel Embiid has been treated for a mild case of Bell’s palsy for the past week. The condition began during the play-in victory over Miami but he has wanted to keep it private to avoid distractions for his team.
