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...

Collins or Karl – Coach of Year
Posted on 5 Apr 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
Do not confuse the purpose of the Coach of the Year Award. Player of the Year, Team of the Year, Rookie of the Year, Scorer of the Year, Defender of the Year or Sixth Man of the Year are all VERY different awards. Coach of the Year really comes down to a very exclusive handful of top candidates. Popovich Thibodeau Phil Jackson and his (yawn) Lakers have posted 55 wins while San Antonio’s Gr...

Sixers Hold Down High Paced Rockets
Posted on 30 Mar 2011 by Bennett Snyder.
It was a Kyle Lowry homecoming, and he was certainly playing like it was his home court in the first half. The North Philadelphia and Villanova product was raining 3′s and forcing Jrue Holiday to turn the ball over. Then in the second half, specifically the 4th quarter, the Sixers started clamping down on defense and executing on offense. Jrue Holiday and Thad Young sparked the Sixers and...

Sixers Hold Off Late Surge to Beat Bulls
Posted on 28 Mar 2011 by Bennett Snyder.
The last time they played the Bulls in Chicago they suffered their biggest loss of the season by point total. On Sunday they suffered their biggest loss in terms of quality by losing at home to the Kings. So, a day after that despicable L, they show a lot of heart and get biggest W of the season by going into Chicago and pulling it out. The Sixers came out with more energy in the first quarter ...

Sixers Use Huge 4th Quarter to Beat Struggling Hawks
Posted on 23 Mar 2011 by Bennett Snyder.
In case you missed what happened in the past week, like me, because everyday blurred together with drinking, eating greasy food, and 12 hours of college basketball for four days straight, then you missed the Knicks faltering and the Sixers getting some separation. Tonight, a game I actually had the fortune to see in person, the Sixers were down the whole game and then something clicked in the 4...

Sixers Come Back But Falter in OT Against Jazz
Posted on 14 Mar 2011 by Bennett Snyder.
I'm not sure how to perceive this game. Should I applaud them for being down 18 at half but then showing heart on the road and coming back to send it into overtime? Should I be angry that the Sixers actually took a lead and had a shot to win it before going to overtime? I'll take both sides and be happy with their effort because against the Bucks they fell apart, but the Jazz they showed real l...

Sixers Earn Biggest Win of Year, Hold Off Celtics
Posted on 11 Mar 2011 by Bennett Snyder.
Coming down the stretch I thought “here we go again”. This game was different though, the Sixers defense was unbelievable. Not just in the last 5 minutes but the whole game. Combine that with the lucky running finger-roll that Andre Iguodala threw in to ice the game, and that is a perfect recipe for an upset. Ray Allen only had 5 points and didn't hit his first bucket til the 4th qu...

Yet Another Late Game Choke By 76ers
Posted on 9 Mar 2011 by Bennett Snyder.
With a 5 point lead and under 1:30, I said the Sixers just have to score once to win this game. Their next four possessions went like this: Shot clock violation, Lou Williams tough-shot fade-away miss, Iguodala air ball, and Iguodala charging call with 2 seconds left. Meanwhile, the Thunder run a play for Durant and he hits a 3 pointer with 6 seconds left to tie the game, even though everyone a...
