Having to work almost exclusively on a winless NBA team over the course of a month is difficult both physically and professionally. Such is the life of a Sixers beat writer, who hasn't seen his assigned team win since last March. Add that onto deadlines and traveling and strict coverage requirements, and you'd understand the reasons why a local beat writer might not be a fan of what the Sixers organization is doing.
Such is the life of Keith Pompey and Bob Cooney, who have covered the Sixers at home and on the road since the beginning of Sam Hinkie's GM tenure, and to a lesser degree Tom Moore and Dan Gelston who cover all home games.
