DOUG COLLINS RUMORS & GOSSIP

Sixers future uncertain, except Doug Collins

Game Seven losses can be moments of realization of the work left to be done and the future that lies ahead, or they can be moments of realization of just how far you still have left to go and the hopelessness of the future. Philadelphia is in a weird place. Typically a young team like the 76ers might view a Game Seven loss at Boston as a stepping stone to bigger and better things...

Collins laments 76ers' lack of scoring

The 76ers were done in by Boston point guard Rajon Rondo in losing Game 7 of their Eastern Conference semifinal series to the Celtics on Saturday night, 85-75. But they were also done in by their own anemic offense. The Sixers' point total and shooting percentage (35.0) were series lows, and they made just 27.8 percent of their 3-point attempts. For coach Doug Collins, it...

76ers get history lesson as Game 7 looms

Down 3-2 to rival Boston Celtics and with his team's playoff future hanging in the balance, Philadelphia 76ers coach Doug Collins took his players back 30 years in Celtics-Sixers history for a little motivation before Game 6 on Wednesday. Sure, the heyday of the Philly-Boston rivalry may have come in the 1960s, when Wilt Chamberlain and Bill Russell battled in the postseason...

Starting 5: An affront to the game, an affront to officiating, and Doug Collins wants more

76ers confident despite Game 7 odds

The Philadelphia 76ers have given themselves a chance. By outlasting the Celtics 82-75 in Game 6 Wednesday at the Wells Fargo Center, they get to play Game 7 Saturday in Boston. They lack the experience -- not to mention home-court advantage -- of the Celtics. But in a series in which no team has won consecutive games, they're going to take their best shot at TD Garden. ...

Thanks for the Great Ride, Sixers!

So we get a Game 7. But before we start dreaming about a repeat of 1982, it is time to thank Doug Collins and the Philadelphia 76ers for the great season they have given their fans. Six home playoff games certainly exceed any expectation that existed for this team before the season started. The young team has shown substantial growth as well as a glimpse of what the future can be...

76ers coach Collins enjoying renewed rivalry

It's not surprising that the Celtics-76ers series will go at least six games and maybe longer. These franchises have seemingly been programmed for such wars as they meet now for the 19th time. (The first seven were when what became the Sixers were based in Syracuse. The Celtics also faced the Philadelphia Warriors twice before they moved to the Bay Area.) The Celtics took...

Time for Turner to start

Doug Collins is known to play favorites with his players as the Sixers coach. He likes guys that play the game the right way such as playing defense and running his plays. He likes to deal with guys that are coachable. That’s why Jrue Holliday, Andre Iguodala and Jodi Meeks will be on the court no matter how bad they play. Evan Turner does not get much minutes since he is not Collins’...
