Hot Three Point Shooting Not Enough to Beat Celtics

Thu, 26 Nov 2009 14:11:39 -0500

Sixers go from playing three horrible quarters and one good quarter in a losing effort to playing three good quarters and one bad quarter still in a losing effort. 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...

Why In the World is Jason Kapono Wearing Number 72?

Tue, 06 Oct 2009 05:10:00 -0500

Yahoo!'s resident basketball blogging-podcasting-karaoke star J.E. Skeets pointed out that Sixers guard Jason Kapono is sporting number 72 this season and wondered why in the world Kapano would choose such a goofy Shawn Bradley-esque number in the seventies? We wondered the same. So we inquired. The Sixers told us Kapono had hoped to wear number 24 which he has worn throughout his NBA career, but as Sixers fans know, a 24 jersey hangs in the rafters of the Spectrum, retired for the...

Can Jason Kapono bring the 3 back to Philly?

Wed, 26 Aug 2009 07:45:00 -0500

It remains to be seen whether the Sixers off season acquisition, Jason Kapono, can bring the 3 back to Sixers basketball. Kapono makes it look easy here in this NBA footage practicing for the NBA shootout. But sports is all about the NOW. Not the past. He is coming of a poor season in Toronto. Averaging only 8 points per game. He fell short of expectations and registered 46 DNP coach’s

2009 Sixers Draft

The draft is in 3 days away and all the workouts for the Sixers are likely done. It's time to take a hard look at the situation, the options and ultimately the pick. What We Already Know Before the season ended everyone knew the Sixers weaknesses and player needs. Three point shooting needed to be addressed in the form of a proven distance shooter - at the very least. Stefanski got that done before we all thought was possible by trading Reggie Evans for Jason Kapono. We know have one o...

76’ers Acquire Kapono ESPN.com reports that the Toronto Raptors and Philadelphia 76ers have completed the first trade of what is widely predicted to be an active month of NBA transactions by swapping shooting guard Jason Kapono for forward Reggie Evans. Evans gives Toronto a physical rebounding presence, and the trade also frees up extra salary-cap space for a critical 2010 summer in which Chris Bosh becomes an unrestricted free agent.
