He broke his jaw early in the game against the Wizards in DC last Tuesday but kept playing. In fact, he led a comeback in the 4th quarter that fell short when his potential game-winning shot bricked. He didn’t know it was broken until the next day when he arose from a sleepless night in Boston and finally decided it was time to get X-rays. During the game he was spitting blood constantly but assumed it was a tooth causing the trouble. If o...

Odds aren't yet posted for this game, so check back later for the opening line and total. The 76ers lost to San Antonio 97-89 as an 11.5-point underdog on Sunday.

So let's break it down.The Case For1) He'd fill some seats. The Sixers have the second lowest attendance in the NBA; only the utterly terrible Memphis Grizzlies draw fewer people. This doesn't mean that the town has soured on basketball, but the simple fact of the matter is that you can't give away seats right now. Elton Brand ain't filling the stands, and whi...

When will this team learn that it takes 4 quarters of good basketball to beat good teams? To be honest I think last night's game against the Celtics was an atypical, fluke-like performance we have become accustom to seeing from the Sixers. Case in point: 13-20 from three for the Sixers 38 points on 13-18 from the field from...

Today I am thankful for each of you in my Celtics family today. My prediction no Lou Williams possibly no Elton Brand 76ers go down hard to the Celtics.. All in all, we're just shooting bricks for John Wall. You know...I have the feeling this is a night for a "moral" victory. Not an actual win mind you, but a loss that I'm sure everyone in the locker room will feel not so bad about. A couple quotes about how they are ju...

Sadly, it's due to the loss of Lou Williams and not Willie Green or Royal Ive getting their asses super-glued to the bench.CSNPhilly.com is reporting that Lou Williams will miss 2-4 weeks with a broken jaw. As someone who has broken their jaw in the past and had it wired shut for a month, I can say enjoy those milkshakes, Louis. They are your friend.This is obviously another tough blow to the strug...

Oddly, though, those were probably the Sixers' five best offensive players on the court tonight, with Elton Brand and Andre Iguodala shooting a combined 3-19 from the field.

Meh. We lost the game on a dumb ass Willie Green reach in. Phantom call or not is unimportant to me. His instinct to reach in there are what was dumb. It was a risky attempt to bother a shooter who was 3 feet behind the three point line and well covered by a contesting 7-footer. The way Mike James missed that shot is the s...
