Check this quote out.
"I think I’m one of the best all-around players out there. I don’t know what it was - I guess it was not making shots. I feel like I defend better than anybody out there. Whatever the reason may be, I can’t really harp on it. I just move on and don’t...
Great 4th Quarter, Same Result for the Sixers

DAMN!
Most exciting quarter of basketball for this team all season and Iguodala and Brand were squarely planted on the bench.
I am torn right now just a little bit. I am in no way about moral victories especially when this is the third straight loss and against a 3-9 opponent. But...

First off I am a little pissed off Eddie Jordan gave Gilbert Arenas some fuel for his fire already:
Asked if he believes Arenas can be an effective leader, Jordan said,
“He’s capable of leading them in scoring. He’s capable of leading them as a competitive presence. That canâ...

Sixers Give Cleveland Their Best Shot But It’s Not Enough

In the game preview I asked if the Sixers had any shot to win this game. My conclusion was not at all. Others had the same feeling as well.
And although they played better the result was the same - a loss. I think we will have to get used to that against the better teams too. The...

Accuscore is giving the Sixers a 11% chance to win. Is it really that high?
The Sixers are 5-7.
They haven't played one good game in 12 tries.
The coach thinks he has a team full of punks.
The players think the coach is equally if not more to blame.
Infighting.
Conveniently...

This match-up lost a ton of luster when A.I. bounced. Now it's just two below average teams battling and trying to figure out a winning mix.
The storyline most of us will be watching is how does Elton Brand back-up his best performance as a Sixer.
I know he doesn't want or...

Unless you don't have a job, and have ESPNU, you probably didn't watch the Nova game today. Dannie and I "watched" on separate GameCasts at work, and saw a very strange game unfold. It ended with Villanova winning 69-68, but here's how they got there.... Corey...

Would you look at that. Elton Brand can still throw down! And did so I believe 3 or 4 times last night.
