"Hell Week" couldn't have started much worse for the Sixers. Not only did they lose by a wide margin to the Celtics, they also lost the services of Willie Green for at least the next two games.
Despite tremendous support from a sold-out Wachovia Center, the Sixers rarely threatened to make it much of a game against the Celtics, losing 100-86.

It was great seeing the Sixers rock the retro 1983 jerseys once again last night against the Celtics. I would love to see these jerseys more often and I think it's absolutely ridiculous that the 76er's marketing department isn't even selling 1983 Retro Andre Iguodala jerseys.

Iguodala has been having a hell of a season. He's averaging 20/6/6 will likely get the attention of other GMs around the league. Will Iguodala stay in Philly?

The Celtics faced a tough Philly team that is fighting for a playoff seed and came away with a 100-86 win. The Celtics came out strong and got to a 15-0 lead before Philly chipped away at the lead. The Celtics had a 26-20 lead at the end of 1. Philly tied the game at 44 in the second quarter, but never took the lead. Both teams scored 27 points in the second quarter for a 53-47 lead...

Halfway through the week I dubbed "Hell Week", and the Sixers are halfway towards their goal of winning two games. They barely defeated the Pistons 83-82, made no shots in the final 2:27 of play, and needed Mr. Clutch Chauncey Billups to miss a last second shot to pull it off, but when you are fighting for the playoffs, a win is a win.

Some good stuff going on in the news today. And we're not just talking about Elliot Spitzer, who forgot the time tested adage of "Before the fall comes pride." Enjoy your long trip into oblivion pal.
The best quote of the season, for us, comes courtesy of the Boston Herald .
"If he plays like that, we won't lose. I promise you that," Pierce said...

While Truehoop's Henry Abbott is all aflutter about Mark Cuban banning bloggers from the locker room. We are not surprised, the Celtics banned us from the locker room as soon as the team got popular. How's that for loyalty?

Willie Green, Louis Williams and Reggie Evans each average more than twenty minutes per game. How 'bout at least ten minutes/game for Thaddeus Young, Rodney Carney and Jason Smith? At least their stars are huge names...Samuel Dalembert and Andre Iguodala. If you are like us, you may be feeling like the Cleveland natives checking their opening day roster at the beginning of the...

This year has had it highs and its lows. We all expected lows, but these guys proved us wrong. Right now we are in a low point, but that does not mean we cannot go without a fight. Lets not play for the lottery, lets not play for business, lets play for the love of this game, and the only thing that matters in this game is WINNING!
Its always easy for a fan to talk this way. None...

The Sixers have just beaten the Pistons -- in Detroit. The Sixers are now 13-3 in their last 16 games. I never thought that would have happened a month ago.

Where's the outrage? Not at the whole "blackface thing," but at what a terrible Barkley impression this is.

The Sixers look to continue their playoff push, but this week they will meet their toughest challenge yet. They have won four straight, and 12 of their last 15, to climb into the playoff picture in the East. Most of those wins have come against the NBA JV teams, including their latest thrashings of the Sonics and Bucks. This week the challenge is much greater, with four total games...
