Sixers vs. Boston: If Possible Please Don’t Get Embarrassed
Honestly I got nothing else besides the headline. This season has been pretty much a downer with the exception of Marreese Speights. Boston is coming in on a ridiculous 18-game winning streak and I don't think anyone here thinks the Sixers have a shot to win this game. If some delusional ...

The Millers: Andre and Andy
Many of Philly's finest believe that PG, Andre Miller, was the MVP of their team last year. Those sentiments mean a lot right now as Miller is in the final year of his contract with the 76ers and will be earning $10.2 million this year. The Sixers want to start talking about a contract extension and Miller is on board. Andre dropped his former agent, Lon Babby, a little more...

Philadelphia 76ers Draft Evaluation
The Sixers probably did the best they could in this draft to address the #1 hole of post scoring at the PF position by taking Marreese Speights with the 16th pick. Apparently this was their guy all along, and they asked every question, reviewed every aspect of his game and turned over every stone to be sure of the pick. The questions about his work ethic and on/off attitude on the...

Sixers drafted a "poor man's Elton Brand"
Just thought I would pass this along. According to Chad Ford of ESPN, Marreese Speights, who the Sixers drafted with the 16th pick in the draft, is going to be a great fit for the Sixers:
I like this pick for Philly. Speights has a lot of talent and he fits a need for Philly. He's an excellent offensive player who can score in the post and facing the basket, and he can rebound...

Sixers select Marreese Speights of Florida
There have been very few surprises so far with the NBA Draft, with most players being selected about where everyone thought they would be taken. Of course, there were the two big trades of the day, with Jermaine O'Neal going to Toronto and Richard Jefferson going to Milwaukee, but other than that everything has gone according to plan.
The Sixers also stuck to the script, drafting...

NBA Mock Draft Round-up: Who will the Sixers draft?
