goodnight, Sixers fans

Announcer crew said it’s hard to believe the Sixers haven’t beaten the Celtics in the playoffs since the ‘80s and haven’t made the Conference Finals since Allen Iverson was playing. I find NEITHER of those things hard to believe at all!

I’d prefer to just have the “zen” YouTube TV waterfall commercial keep going rather than go back to the Sixers-Celtics game.

I wrote about these games and missing physical tickets. open.substack.com/pub/broadstr...

found some classic tickets while moving, though I have no concrete memories of being at the Flyers Stanley Cup game (photo evidence exists at least!).

Before you get ready to watch the current premier Philly playoff team tonight, here are 5 thoughts I have on the Sixers after their Game 1 stinker in Boston:

Happy Monday after a mixed bag of a Philly sports weekend. Thoughts on A.J. Brown and the Eagles, the Phillies stinking it up, the Sixers looking pathetic and the Flyers attempting to save us all: open.substack.com/pub/broadstr...

I went long on the history of every single Sixers-Celtics playoff matchup over the many decades:

Some thoughts on VJ Edgecombe’s demeanor, the Phillies stinking it up, the 2010 Flyers and more: broadstreetwithlove.substack.com/p/5-philly-s...

The crowd for the Sixers' Play-In game last night was electric. I wrote about the scenes from the arena, how I missed a playoff atmosphere in South Philly and how I hope championship contention finds this franchise sometime soon:

“WE WANT BOSTON!”

pls

Some additional Sixers thoughts before the Play-In Tournament…

"I’ve spent (wasted?) so much time and energy on the Sixers in my life through both bad times and worse times. What’s one more night of Lucy ripping the football away as I go to kick it?"

Everyone has a story. Dominick Barlow’s is unconventional, almost unbelievable and still being written. Feature on one of the Sixers’ unsung heroes this season and his path to the NBA.

Instead of watching on TV, I listened to the Phillies’ entire extra-innings comeback win on the radio the other day. I wrote about the experience. You should try it out sometime soon, too. open.substack.com/pub/broadstr...
