76ers Get Statement Win Over Bulls
Posted on 2 Feb 2012 by Mike Rapine.
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 Pacers and an A...

76ers Feast on Last Place Bobcats
Posted on 27 Jan 2012 by Mike Rapine.
This one was over shortly after the opening tip, and the Philadelphia 76ers coasted to a 89-72 victory over the lowly Charlotte Bobcats. The 76ers, now 13-6, have not lost two games in a row this season and bounced back from Wednesday’s overtime loss to the New Jersey Nets with a dominating first quarter in which they only allowed the Bobcats to score ten points. Philadelphia jumped out to a ...

76ers Pound Wizards 103-83.
Posted on 24 Jan 2012 by Mike Rapine.
Across sports, there are many reasons why rivalries begin. Some rivalries are derived from frequent “big-game” match-ups or playoff series, and some stem simply from geographical proximity. Using that logic, it wouldn’t be a crime to call the Philadelphia 76ers and Washington Wizards a rivalry; however, this match-up has been all one-sided as of late. For the third time in less than two w...

First Half Analysis: After 24 minutes of play, the same old tune is being played in Philadelphia tonight. While as impressive as the 76ers start to the season has been, once again they are struggling with a playoff caliber team. I will not he...

Andre Miller shines in return, ends Sixers win streak
Posted on 18 Jan 2012 by Michael Thibault.
Andre Miller scored 28 points and added 8 rebounds and 10 assists off the bench for the Denver Nuggets to end the Philadelphia 76ers 3 game win streak. Miller hit clutch shots down the stretch and eventually the game winner in overtime to put the Sixers away. Once again, the Sixers bench shined which has become a recurring theme this season, as Thaddeus Young scored 22 and Evan Turner added 20...

Are the Sixers the real deal?
Posted on 17 Jan 2012 by Michael Thibault.
We are now a few weeks into the NBA season, and the 76ers are the surprise of the league, starting the season 10-3 and unbeaten at home. The question remains, can the Sixers keep it up? The schedule for the 76ers has been very friendly so far this season, with their highlight win of the season coming against the Indiana Pacers who were missing Danny Grainger. Their 7 game win streak ended last ...

Posted on 15 Jan 2012 by Mike Rapine.
While it wasn't as emphatic as Friday night's blowout in Philadelphia, the Philadelphia 76ers took down the Washington Wizards once again 103-90 on Saturday night.

Friday Night Feast: 76ers Eat-Up Wizards, 120-89.
Posted on 13 Jan 2012 by Mike Rapine.
In the NBA, to be considered one of the best you have to beat the best. While that saying definitely holds true, the great teams also need to know how to impose their will against teams stuck in the NBA cellar. It took some time, but the Philadelphia 76ers took care of business Friday night by beating the Washington Wizards 120-89. Everyone probably put a tally in the win column for the 76ers b...

Broadway Trumps Broad Street (again)
Posted on 11 Jan 2012 by Mike Rapine.
Just weeks after the New York Rangers spoiled the Winter Classic for Philadelphia Flyers fans, the two cities took the hardwood for what would be an early test for both teams. Once again, New York came away victorious. From the get-go, the New York Knicks dominated and despite a late rally from the 76ers, held on for a 85-79 win. The Knicks needed Carmelo Anthony and Amar'e Stoudemire to step...

Sixers Season Ends But Show Glimpses of Promise
Posted on 27 Apr 2011 by Bennett Snyder.
I said before the series started that it would go 5, but I was pleasantly surprised how close it ended up being. The Sixers were in every game but one, and even stole a win, which heading toward the future is very promising. The two future franchise players were excellent in their first playoff series ever, Holiday and Turner. No Sixer fan should be disappointed with their effort, as they battl...

Sixers End Season .500 with Loss to Pistons
Posted on 13 Apr 2011 by Bennett Snyder.
The Sixers really faded down the stretch, and at one time were four games over the .500 mark and in the 6th place, before ending up 42-42 and becoming the 7th seed where they will see the Miami Heat in the first round. If you take a step back and look at their season as a whole, any Sixer fan has to be happy. After an awful season last year under Eddie Jordan, the expectations were low, and aft...

Sixers Continue to Fade Down Stretch as Comeback Vs Knicks Falls Short
Posted on 6 Apr 2011 by Bennett Snyder.
It would have been the best comeback of the year and in one of the most important games of the year. Being down the whole game, the Sixers energy level in the 4th quarter was insane. After making an incredible comeback to actually go up by a point thanks to Elton Brand but especially Thaddeus Young, the Sixers then had a wide open 3 to go up for. After Jodie Meeks' three rattled in and out, Ton...
