76ers WON on Friday! Rookie Jared McCain is On Top of the World Right Now! + Sixers vs Clippers Preview
No matter what happens for the Titans tomorrow, there's still a Sixers game on about two hours after the Titans game ends. The Sixers aren't having a tremendous season at the moment either but hey it's always a good day when both of your favorite teams play!
The Sixers are struggling, but they ideally should be improving soon and they FINALLY got their third win of the season on Friday after beating the Nets 113-98.

Rookie Jared McCain is truly the MAN on the court for the Sixers recently. Game in and game out, the kid has been scoring at will displaying his fearlessness possession after possession. He plays very similar to Steph Curry but looks physically stronger than Curry on the court I feel. McCain scored thirty on Friday against the Nets.
McCain's performance is being noticed loud and clear around the league. He's being discussed as the favorite for Rookie of the Year and his NBA 2K rating went up TEN overall points from 73-83. I mean that's pretty massive praise in this day and age.

The Sixers may not be able to rely on Embiid and George lately, but maybe, just maybe, the Sixers' future luckily fell into the organization's lap in McCain and Maxey. M&M! McCain looks like Steph, and McCain reminds me of like a Derrick Rose/Kyrie Irving type of player. If these guys could live up to those names or be greater, that would be nuts. If Embiid and George contribute too. LOOK OUT.
This Sixers' season has been weird. Injuries and off the court junk. But there are also newfound silver linings. The Sixers are only three wins behind the #6 seed in the Eastern Conference PLUS the rise of Jared McCain is making this season look a little interesting despite all the losing...
On top of being a beast on the court, McCain seems like a chill dude. Glad a leader like Maxey is there to help show him the ropes too. These two might do big things together!!
