Sixers make a statement in Boston
Its game 1, of the Eastern Conference semifinals, and the Sixers are up 14 points to Boston midway through the game. Suddenly they give up a big run to the Celtics, and wind up losing the game by 1 point. Many fingers could have been pointed. But that is not what playoff teams do. [...]
The Sixers playoffs so far.
My original prediction for this series was Chicago Bulls in 5, maybe 6. The Bulls lost Derrick Rose, have a hobbled Joakim Noah, and now are in a 3-1 series hole. The Bulls must win Tuesday or they will be eliminated. Teams have come back from 3-1 holes before, and even recently. The Red Sox [...]
Predictions for the 76ers playoff run
On Monday, the Philadelphia 76ers earned the right to play in the NBA playoffs for the second season in a row. It is widely believed that the 76ers will be the 8th seed and play the Chicago Bulls in the first round. There is a chance that the 76ers could overtake the New York Knicks [...]
The State of Doug Collins
Going into this season, Doug Collins was beloved for taking this team to the playoffs last year. Hopes were high and Philly was in love with the new head coach. He started off the season 20-9 and was once in the conversation for coach of the year. Since the all star break, this team has [...]
Which 76er is expendable?
In this article I want to take a look at each 76er, the ones who see playing time anyway, and evaluate their value to the team and if they should be guaranteed a spot on the team next year. Andre Iguodala- Andre is the lightning rod of this team. He either draws hate or remorse [...]
Will the 76ers make the playoffs?
Rewind a few months ago where the 76ers were at the top of the Atlantic Division and we were talking which seed we would prefer that they get. Now we are second in the Atlantic Division and facing the idea that, with a few games left, we may not even make the playoffs. The 76ers [...]
What is wrong with the Philadelphia 76ers?
Since the NBA All Star Break the Philadelphia 76ers have struggled mightily, eventually relinquishing the Atlantic Division lead to the Boston Celtics. Fingers have been pointed, players have been blamed, coaches have been ridiculed, and ownership has been questioned. But What is really to blame for the 6ers struggles? The simple thing to do would [...]
What is Andre Iguodala’s role with the Philadelphia 76ers
There are few athletes in Philadelphia as polarizing as Philadelphia 76ers small forward Andre Iguodala. In 2008 Andre Iguodala signed a 6 year 80 million dollar contract that sent him on the path to stardom, in the eyes of many fans anyway. After a few years under then head coach Eddie Jordan, many fans were [...]
Where are the Rookies?
In a season that has been decimated with injuries, especially to big men, 76ers rookies Lavoy Allen and Nikola Vucevic have seen decreases in playing time. In yesterday’s game against the Atlanta Hawks they were both healthy scratches. Both players have seen a major decrease in playing time since the return of starting center Spencer [...]
How’s This For Jiggy: Will Smith and Wife Jada Become Minority Owners of Philadelphia 76ers
While basketball fans anxiously wait to see whether or not there will be a 2011-12 NBA season, Philadelphia 76ers fans at least have one thing to be excited about–their team is about to “Get Jiggy With It.” According to Comcast SportsNet in Philadelphia, Will Smith and his wife Jada became minority owners of the 76ers [...]
