Trivia timed answer

C) Moses Malone- Tom L. He was the first person to give the correct answer.

What do you say about the Sixers?

We asked: Can the Sixers still compete this season? Among your answers:

It’s sad to say, but my interest in watching multimillionaires who only play half a season if we’re lucky is long gone. Dr. Gone are the days when players like J, Bobby Jones, Maurice Cheeks, Barkley would support them in every game. Missing games due to legitimate injuries is one thing, but situations like players needing rest days and Paul George doing “minute counting” are ridiculous. I understand that owners want to protect their multi-million dollar investment in these guys these days, but how about making sure they come into the season fit and ready instead of only planning on playing them half the season? I too have an investment to protect, and that investment is something I spend my precious free time on, and watching the NBA is unfortunately a losing proposition for me. — Bob A.

In my younger days, I was always over the top excited for all our Philly teams, but now in my mid-80s, I am much more careful about my enthusiasm. I’m worried about this Sixer team and their chances of being among the best. Your trivial question this morning says it all. Julius Erving, Andrew Toney, Moses Malone and Maurice Cheeks had a Sixer team that was no longer in doubt. — Everett S.

Here’s our prediction for “Your 76ers”: They won’t make the playoffs. Arguably one of the worst track sports teams in the United States. We have full season tickets to the Eagles & Phillies. I was going to make a partial plan for the 76ers. I couldn’t press the buy button. I went to the opening game. This healed us! We never leave a match early unless there is an explosion. This game was not only a blast but also a completely effortless outing. We left after the 3rd quarter. We have one more match, and that is the Brooklyn match. Professional basketball tickets are expensive. At least $100 per ticket for a good seat. Our Phillies tix are less than $30 each for the field, 200 levels hidden behind 1st base. — Ron R.

“The goal, of course, is to make sure the Big Three are healthy and ready for the playoffs.” I don’t understand you. Why are the playoffs more important than in-season games? For the fans? — Jean T.
