The Sixers Schedule Is Officially Out and About

I barely had time to dive deep into the Nate Sudfeld led Eagles performance before the Sixers stole my heart away again. The full 2018-19 schedule for the Philadelphia 76ers is officially here:

As we know, the Sixers will play the Boston Celtics to open the season and then play them on Christmas as well. But, aside from those two, the Sixers will play 25 other nationally televised games (27 total). There is a stretch where the Sixers of those in 7 games. Included in that is a matchup at home against the Thunder on January 19th, an ample opportunity to boo the shit out of Russ Westbrook. As well as a meeting with the Lakers and the LAbron era 10 days later.

Looking way, way, way too far into the future, the end of the Sixers schedule once again looks like Week 11 of the SEC football schedule. Cupcake city.

A large part of the Sixers tear into the playoffs a year ago was due to the fact that the schedule was just God awful. I mean; were the Hawks and Mavs (two teams once again on the schedule late) even trying at that point? Were they trying at all at any point last year? After playing Boston on March 20th the schedule goes like this to end the season:

ATL, ORL, BKN, MIN, DAL, ATL, MIL, CHI, MIA, CHI

It may be August, but there are a lot of teams listed in that stretch who’s date for the upcoming season is already sealed, better luck next lottery.

We may be one meaningless game into Eagles preseason, but I’m already stoked for Sixers basketball and the Markelle Fultz Revenge Tour
