        At age 32 Lillard is a 5 time all star for his career despite being in top 5 scoring every year since I started this. Around 25 PPG leads the NBA and the worst he has every been is 23.

          76ers Depth Lineup

          Back in the day the Warriors made their small ball lineup famous with a name called "the death lineup". The 76ers this year have stole the name and created their own death lineup just with a little different philosophy. In this lineup its Simmons at PG, Fultz at SG, Josh Jackson at SF, Covington at PF and Bol at C.

          The goal of this lineup on offense is to post Ben up against smaller PG's and space the floor with 4 shooters. Ben of course not only has a massive size advantage over just about all PG's he also shoots a high % around the rim. Its not a complicated strategy if the double comes he kicks it out to the shooter and if they don't he tries to score in the post. The beauty of this lineup is you have Bol to protect the rim and block shots on defense while Ben guards the 4 and Fultz the 1.

          Fultz continues to slowly improve his shooting and with a base rating of A is shooting 43%. Covington usually at a A+ rating is down to A still shooting 43%. Josh Jackson with an A rating is shooting 38%. Bol despite being 7'2 keeps the defense honest with 37% and a B rating.

          This lineup is used when Embiid needs a breather and its a huge reason why Ben is averaging 10.5 assist per game. They are some different variations they use with Ingles and Greyson Allen having A+ 3 point shooting. Samanic is another guy that's improved his 3 point shooting during practice this year. He is up to A+ also in shooting and so far at a 40% clip just not a ton of attempts. He is 6'10 so if Bol is on the bench he can play a few minutes at C if you want to go small.

            Love the Depth Line-up! Literally one of the deepest rosters Ive ever seen on here. Hinkie would be proud, Bryan Colangelo should have been on here instead of all those twitter burner accounts!!

              I can't really take any of the credit as Philly was loaded with young talent, draft picks and cap space. I didn't want to take the easy route out and just sign a max level star FA as that didn't seem like it would be as fun for me or the people following along. Plus at the time I started this Philly wasn't suppose to be able to land a big name FA like they are able to in real life now. Looking back I may have went a little to far with not singing FA as I haven't really signed any during this time outside of some end of bench guys. I am going to have major cap trouble this year with Embiid and Bol both being FA, but I will worry about that during the offseason. I also have 3 1st round picks coming this summer depending on protections and where they land. I got lucky and some of the bigs I drafted later on in the 1st round developed good.

              The death lineup is def the most fun lineup I use

                69 Wins With 1 More Game To Go

                When the 76ers got off to the epic start at 40-4 the goal became to win 70 games. Then 5 losses came and they went into the all star break with a record of 50-9 so the goal of getting to 70 wins pretty much went out the window. You could only have 3 losses in the the last 23 games to get to 70. The first game back from the all star break the 76ers lost to the Raptors and then 2 more losses followed pretty soon after that. Then a long winning streak happen which currently sits at 14 which gives the 76ers 69 wins with one game to go.

                Now on to the neat part the last game of the season is against the current 8th seed Chicago Bulls who need to win to clinch the 8th seed. The Pacers are in the 9th spot and face the Jazz who have a chance at home court advantage if they win. The bulls aren't your typical 8th seed and have been bothered by injuries this year. They have 2 all stars in Williams and Barret along with 3 all star type talents in Lavine, Hayward and Markkanen along with several other solid role players. They would make for a very tough 1st round matchup and one the 76ers would like to avoid.










                Other Key Games On Final Day




                Jazz vs Pacers Jazz are one of 5 teams with a record of 42-39 so a win clinches them a playoff spot and a lost is anyone's guess how the tiebreakers work with another team just 1 game behind. The Pacers need to win and get some help to get into the playoffs

                Outlaws vs Hornets The outlaws are one of the teams with 42 wins in the west and they are trying to make the playoffs for the first time. The bad news star rookie C Marshall would miss the opening round so its likely a 1st round exit.

                Nuggets vs Mavs Nuggets have clinched the 3rd seed. The mavs with a win likely gets into the playoffs as you would think one of the teams ahead of them with 42 wins in the west lose.

                Lakers vs Wolves Minnesota hung on to the 2nd seed despite some injuries and the Lakers need to win to get into the playoffs.

                Trailblazers vs Thunder They are another team in the jumbled up mess in the west that go anywhere from 4 to 9.

                Knicks vs Grizzles Lebron and company are back in the playoffs with the Grizz needing a win to get in.

                Raptors vs Pistons The Raptors with Kevin Love still hanging around the playoffs and need a win to get in. The Pistons have been brutally hurt with wing injuries so desperately need the home court advantage that comes with a win.

                  70 Wins ?

                  The Pacers had won before this game tipped off so a win here not only got the 76er a historic wins it got a easier team to face in round 1. The fans had this all figured out get 70 wins and then win the NBA title before riding off into the sunset. If you have been following us for a while you know that doesn't seem to be the way it ever goes around here.

                  The Bulls took a 18 point lead at half time the Chicago defense was really clamping down and a lot of missed shots and forcing bad ones. Ben finally got it going in the 3rd and the bench played well to give the starts some rest eve TLC made some key shots. The play of the game may have been a 24 second shot clock violation when Ben couldn't get a good shot off. It was falling in love with the deep ball to much early on which got the 76ers in trouble and ended up just 8 for 32.

                  In the end the 76ers came up short and the team was devastated sure the main goal was still intact. The team wanted the number 70 wins so with a championship you had a argument for greatest teams of all time. The bad news is they now have a brutal first 2 rounds and have to face these same Bulls next and then likely the Celtics after that.

                    Oh man, what a disappointment ... so close. Hopefully this will be the wakeup call to get the team to rebound and refocus for the playoffs.

                      yea I really wanted to win and get to 70 I played the whole game myself so I don't have anyone else to blame but me. I am actually really worried about the Bulls they are a tough and deep team to play round 1

                        Ben Wins MVP

                        Despite coming up a short for the 70th win the 76ers got some positive news when it was announced Ben Simmons won MVP. He never trailed in this race being the favorite from the time the initial race came out. His assist went up with the official move to PG, but overall his stats ended up close to previous years. The 76ers ending up with a league best 69 wins no doubt played a huge factor in Ben winning his 1st indivual award.

                          Congrats! That's a great stat line, the near 70 wins had to play a big role. You have the MVP and best team in the league -- title or bust now!

                                I was worried I was going to lose it as Lebron was 2nd and have lost other award on the last few days. Yea I def have to win a title this year to make all the hard work and years posting this pay off.
