I don't understand. Why don't people from other cities of Pennsylvania support Sixers or Philadelphia in general? For example, why don't people from Pittsburgh support Sixers? How do you know they don't?

Victor Oladipo has opted out of returning Hope it is somehow related to his quad tear repair. Mine never quite returned to normal.

NBA Defensive Rookie of the Year Matisse Thybulle has captured what life is like inside the 'Bubble' down in Orlando.

BB has come out and announced his new starting 5 - stating Shake has been handling the ball in practice and Ben has been moved to the forward. We've moved into positionless ball. What that means Fam - is Shake is who Fultz was supposed to be. Shake will handle the ball in the halfcourt game when it slows down - Ben will still handle in transition as more of a Point Forward. Essentially it's Shake running next to Ben as a Combo Guard if you still want to label Ben the '1'. Ben Shake J-Rich Tobias Jo-Jo The above is Shake running next to Ben at the '2' as a Combo Guard Shake J-Rich Tobias Ben Jo-Jo The above is Ben in the 'Point Forward' role with Shake and J-Rich as your two traditional guards. However you want to label it - it's the same Starting 5 since we're in positionless ball. Much better balanced lineup with Al on the bench backing up Jo-Jo. GR3, Furk and and Burks coming off the bench as shooting guards/wings. Lets Roll Fam!

Know what I've been thinking.
This restart is all about revenue - TV ratings.
I have a conspiracy theory. I really think the league wants the Lakers and the Sixers and in the Finals for TV Ratings.
Think about the East.
Nobody cares about the Bucks, Raptors, Heat, Celtics or Pacers. They're vanilla and boring. There's no 'Star'. The Greek Freak although the best player in the NBA is about exciting as a ham & cheese sandwich personality wise and there's no drama or intrigue with that team.
The Sixers are pretty much Hollywood East.
The sports media cannot stop talking about them. You'd think they were the Warriors of recent years or the Lakers with how much pub they've been getting on TV recently.
Sixers/Lakers matchup makes the most sense for the league and would bring the most viewers in.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but nobody cares about the Sixers, either.

All those teams combined don't get as much pub as the Sixers.

ESPN and FS1 talk way more about the Bucks and Celtics. The only time first take or skip and shannon or any of those talk shows spend a fraction of their time talking about the Sixers it's negative.

"...exclamation on the failures of Ben Simmons and... Elton Brand."
"... disappointing that Ben Simmons refuses to shoot."
"We all know the Sixers are a car with duct tape on it."
