The Sixers’ playoff run is over which means no more basketball in Philadelphia for a while. It’s a sad, sad time for hoops fans in the city. I find it safe to say the 2007-2008 campaign was an unexpectedly positive one for our 76ers. That is the main reason for the first time in a while that Sixers fans are both optimistic and still 76ered-UP going into the offseason. Now it is time to start focusing on what’s next for this team. There are a host of topics and issues to talk about from... Read Full Story

The two biggest questions or concerns are resigning restricted free agents Andre Iguodala and Louis Williams. Well those questions have been answered - early. In a conversation with Phil Jasner of the Philadelphia Daily News Ed Stefanski said about his two biggest free agents: “I would say, ‘Thank God they’re restricted,’ because we have no intention of not matching any offer from another team,” Stefanski said. - Philly.com But what does that mean? If someone comes in and offers Iguodala... Read Full Story

Wow, that was easily the worst game I have ever been to in every aspect. To be at a playoff game and only have 14,130 in attendance was disappointing but something I expected. I knew once they lost on Tuesday the fans would officially give up on the team and not come out and support Thursday night. And with the performance the 76ers gave, could you really blame them? I have all these notes I took from the game, but I don’t think it’s necessary to beat a dead horse here. Everyone watched the... Read Full Story

I figured I just do a Brotherly Link Love post today since it has been pretty depressing ready the Philly boards and comments coming off the whoopin’ Detroit laid on the Sixers last night. And I really don’t want to waste my time typing up game 6 adjustments since it’s pretty clear Mo Cheeks doesn’t make any. So here is a blend of 76ers and other post of interest for you to check out. The Mavs fired coach Avery Johnson today. This was a no-brainer for me. I have never thought of him as... Read Full Story

Not much to say after getting manhandled like that. This was the first game in the series the 76ers looked like they were completely out of their league and had no shot of winning. Quick thoughts on the game: Samuel Dalembert’s Tribal Warrior hair cut, as Pete called it, was good enough for 4 points and 6 rebounds in 30 minutes. I guess he was more prepared to go hunt some wild animals than play competitive basketball. Great offensive execution by the Pistons combined again with poor pick... Read Full Story

Let me start by saying that the Eagles have earned my trust in the draft even if they don’t do what I think they should have done. Why? Because 18 of 22 starters in 2008 will be players they have drafted, and it could be 19 of 22 if Victor Abiamiri beats out Juqua Parker (formerly Juqua Thomas) for the starting DE spot. They have built primarily through the draft and have been more consistently competitive than 90% of the NFL since Andy Reid took the reigns. If I was a Lions fan? I think I’d... Read Full Story

Winning game 5 in Detroit is critical for the 76ers’ upset bid mainly to avoid the pressure of having to win a game 7 against the PIstons on the road. I hate thinking about that scenario for our young Sixers who missed an opportunity to show their killer instinct Sunday night. Although I have very little confidence that the 76ers will make significant adjustments for game 5, here are my thoughts if I was Mo Cheeks. Line Up Strongest: Samuel Dalembert - Reggie Evans - Thaddeus Young - Andre... Read Full Story

OK, guys, I just got back from the Sixers game tonight, and I am still a little hot by the way they played in the second half. This game was the classic tale of two halves, and the 76ers picked the wrong one to show up for. Best way to describe this game is - missed opportunity. They had the Pistons by the balls, and tonight was the game they needed to squeeze the crap out of them. Instead they let a dangerous Detroit team right back into this series giving the home court advantage right back... Read Full Story
