The Sixers may be done for the season, but Sixers fans are never out of things to talk about. I’ll share a few in my latest “Sixers thoughts” column…
Tobias Harris showed what he was truly made of in Detroit’s Game 7 loss

Add in the national media and fans across the basketball community doing their classic schtick of wondering why Sixers fans were so mean to an individual who contributed nothing meaningful to winning and you’re left with a fairly clear-cut answer.
