Feelin’ Feverish in Philly

Found February 03, 2012 on Eye On Sports with Eric Williams: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Jrue Holiday,  Thaddeus Young,  Evan Turner,  Doug Collins,  Jodie Meeks,  Lavoy Allen,  Elton Brand
TEAMS: Philadelphia 76ers

Jrue HolidayThings are feelin’ feverish in Philly where the vastly-improved – and red-hot 76ers are apparently looking better each and every time they step on the floor.Thaddeus YoungNot only are the Sixers sitting pretty with the second best record in the Eastern Conference, (they’re tied with Atlanta and Miami) but more importantly, the young Sixers have arguably as big an upside as any team in the league these days with a core of young players that apparently have the chance to reach all-star potential inside the next few seasons.Third-year point guard Jrue Holiday and second-year swingman Evan Turner clearly both have a chance to be special players – and I believe Philly already has a potential superstar in reserve power forward Thaddeus Young (Why isn’t he starting Doug Collins?). Throw in another solid young player in third-year shooting guard Jodie Meeks and impressive rookie power forward Lavoy Allen and it’s easy to see why Philly has such a huge chance to become one of the...

76ers Get Statement Win Over Bulls

Via Pro Sports Blogging  |  February 02, 2012
Basketball in Philadelphia is back. Philly fans have been lobbying for some national respect for their 15-6 start to the 2011-2012 season, and their wishes may have been granted with Wednesday night’s thrashing of the Eastern Conference leading Chicago Bulls, 98-82. As impressive as the 76ers run has been, their only “quality” wins came against a Danny Granger-less Indiana...

Andre Iguodala Cuff Slam Dunk On Kyle Korver

Via Dime  |  February 02, 2012
Andre Iguodala was unbelievable last night against the Chicago Bulls. He had 19 and nine in a 16-point W over Derrick Rose & Co., but that doesn’t begin to tell the whole story. Philly mauled Chicago, swarming them on defense at every turn, and Iguodala led the way. In all of my years of watching [...]

There is no doubt that the upstart Philadelphia 76ers are playing extremely well this season. They have a young core with PG Jrue Holliday leading the charge, F Thaddeus Young is playing well, and former first round pick C Spencer Hawes is playing through his best season thus far. There is a solid combination at each position, with bench depth to help through shooters and big men...

Do you believe in Philly now? You should. The 76ers turned the stove temperature up in the third quarter and started grilling Chicago. It was like the visitors got caught up in a storm they couldn’t get out of. The defense was suffocating. Andre Iguodala (19 points) had a cuff dunk that only five or [...]
