The 76ers have got their hands on five division titles, nine conference crowns and of course three NBA titles. Critics and professionals consider the 76ers 2017 draft trades to be a step towards building an even stronger team and contend that this is the team to beat this NBA season. Philadelphia’s point guard T.J. McConnell has also been awarded the Charles Barkley Award in September 2017 and so things are looking up for the 76ers. If you are a fan of the famous team, then grab your Philadelphia 76ers tickets and watch them hit the court live this season.

The Philadelphia 76ers was founded in 1939 by Ed Snider. Team colors are red, royal blue and white. Home color is represented by white and when the team is playing away from hometown, red is the color to represent them. The team was originally known as ‘Syracuse Nationals’ or ‘Philadelphia Warriors’. It was mutually decided amongst the team authorities to change the name once the franchise was moved to Philadelphia.

Right from the outset, the Philadelphia 76ers has been a good team. Their gaming record is laden with Conference and Championship titles. Led by coach Doug Collins, this side has seen the best of the NBA players. Allen Iverson, Moses Malone, Wilt Chamberlain, Julius Erving and Charles Barkley are names that need no introduction. They are the shining stars twinkling with conspicuous spark on the skies of basketball.

The Philadelphia 76ers has won two NBA championships. The first championship was won in 1966-1967 under the captainship of Chamberlain. The team was able to grab the title back in 1982-83. The team made it into the finals of 2001 Championship but was defeated by Los Angeles Lakers. Although admittedly the team has not been able to win any NBA titles ever since but the side over all is strong and the fans never lost hope and interest. They have, to their credit, a total of 3 Championships, 5 Conference and 11 Divisional titles.

The Philadelphia 76ers started their basketball career with a loss in first season but their athletic performance and maneuverings led them to the playoffs.

This is what keeps the fans intrigued and they rush to buy Philadelphia 76ers tickets. The team begins its new season in the coming year. The fans expect an improved performance from their young players. Although 2010 was not a good year for the team but their unmistakable potential and energy is what attracts the fans to the arena.

With the eviction of Andre Miller, the major responsibility lies on the shoulders of Andre Igoudala. Fans have a lot of hopes glued with the captain. He is versatile and athletic. With time his skills have honed and his game has matured and he seems fully capable of handling the team’s responsibility. There is no reason why he would not be able to defeat the opponents if he gets support from Kyle Korver and Samuel Dalembert. Players like Jrue Holiday and Thaddeus are a promising prospect.

The Philadelphia 76ers begins their new season which includes a series of basketball bouts against regular teams like Knicks, Nets and Celtics among other teams. Beating Warriors, Kings, Timberwolves, and Nets in the NBA Draft Lottery, they managed to be the second pick. This indicates how strong and coveted this side is. Winning or losing is irrelevant, relevant is your performance and devotion to the game. Performance at its best is the forte of The Philadelphia 76ers.

The Sixers Need to Turn Things Around

As the regular season reaches its halfway point, the 76ers will have to improve results to ensure a playoff spot. The team has failed to reach the post season for four consecutive years and this is one trend they will desperately want to change. As of March 6th, 2017, the Sixers have a 23-38 regular season record and are currently fourth in the division and thirteenth in the conference. The team needs to string together multiple wins to stand a chance of making the playoffs. To see how their quest goes, get Philadelphia 76ers tickets and watch their games live.
