Fans who believe the Sixers are on the right track are celebrating the team by "raising the cat!".
If you're wondering where the hashtag came from -- its Ben Simmons, who wore his exotic cat on his head, inspiring the imitation.
It wasn't as easy as it looked -- so fans have just adjusted it to hoisting the cat up in the air.
Twitter user @GipperGrove took it from there, sending Twitter users into a frenzy.
"One day I decided that if they won the game, I would raise my 20-pound cat in the air and people enjoyed that," he tells CBS Philly. "This just proves that Sixers fans are the craziest fans in the NBA."
