Philadelphia will start their four-game preseason slate on Monday, Oct. 5 vs. New York (7 p.m., NBC Sports Philadelphia).

The Sixers normally do this down at the Chase Fieldhouse in Wilmington, where the Blue Coats play. Obviously they’ve got LeBron now so they’re gonna LeMove this thing to a bigger arena to match the excitement seeping through fanbase pores.

It’s gonna be a good fall and winter sports season in these parts. The Eagles are 2-0. The Sixers have LeBron James and Jaylen Brown. Matvei Michkov lost more than 20 pounds and is speaking English.

Philadelphia…. arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrre you ready?
