Beasts in the East: NBA Atlantic Division Preview
Posted on 17 Oct 2012 by Warren Shaw.
The NBA's very busy off season has transformed the Atlantic Division into a battlefield that could very well be the the league's best division. Gone are the days of just ink penning the Celtics as the division's champion with the Knicks, Nets, and 76′ers all vastly improved. What the Nets have done by moving to Brooklyn and essentially picking a fight with the oldest member on the block...

Chance Encounter: Celtics vs 76ers Playoff Preview
Posted on 11 May 2012 by Warren Shaw.
The Boston Celtics will open up their second round playoff series at home against the Philadelphia 76′ers. Boston finished a closely contested series with the Atlanta Hawks 4-2 while Philly surprised the number 1 seeded Chicago Bulls 4-2 as well. Nobody could have seen this coming, and if they did then its likely they own a psychic service with commercials running on late night television...

EVEN THOUGH IT’S THE 1ST ROUND, PAT RILEY IS SMILING
Posted on 19 Apr 2011 by Sean Eckhardt.
This is the Miami Heat team everyone has been waiting and wanting to see. They dominated the Sixers on Monday night, leading wire-to-wire. The final score was Miami 94Philadelphia 73, but it wasn't even that close. On a night where their leader, Dwyane Wade, was not 100 percent due to migraine issues, the rest of the team picked up the slack. For the second playoff game in a ro...

Getting Familiar
Posted on 6 Apr 2011 by Warren Shaw.
How many times do you hear the saying “If the playoffs started today” followed by some random statement as a basketball fan? Well if the playoffs did start today the Boston Celtics are finally looking like a team that would be ready. After dispensing of the Detroit Pistons on Sunday 101-90, Team Green got a chance to test their skills against their potential first round opponent in the Phil...

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...

VICTORY OVER THE SIXERS ON FRIDAY NIGHT IS ONE OF THE BEST WINS OF THE SEASON
Posted on 26 Mar 2011 by Sean Eckhardt.
The Miami Heat are starting to look like most people thought they would; really fricking good. The game against Philadelphia was an example of just how good. Early on, it looked like Miami was going to be their own worst enemy. They were turning the ball over and digging themselves a hole on the scoreboard. Then, midway through the second quarter something happened. Dwyane Wa...

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...

Sixers Upset Spurs Behind Holiday
Posted on 11 Feb 2011 by Bennett Snyder.
It looked like Jrue Holiday wanted to make a statement tonight, taking on another top tier point guard in Tony Parker. The last time , Parker scored at will and the Spurs crushed the Sixers. This time it was a different story, with Holiday, 27 points, dominating the match-up. Holiday not only carried the Sixers in scoring, but sealed the game with his free throws down the stretch, not something...

Another Disasterous 4th Quarter Collapse for 76ers
Posted on 28 Jan 2011 by Bennett Snyder.
Pathetic. Disgusting. Embarrassing. Unforgivable. Just some words that come to mind after another collapse by the Sixers at the end of the game. The Sixers led by as much as 21 points and 16 going into the 4th quarter, before giving away the game to a very mediocre Memphis Grizzlies team. They were outscored 42 to 21 in the 4th and turned the ball over 12 times in that quarter. There is not one...

Young Sixers Surge Past Suns
Posted on 25 Jan 2011 by Bennett Snyder.
The Sixers now have two more home wins this year then they had during the entire last season. Thanks to Thad Young and the rest of the young players on the team, the Sixers had an easy time with Phoenix. Thad Young had one of his best games of the season with 24 points 7 rebounds and 5 assists. Evan Turner had his second best all around game of the year, only behind the last time they played th...

Lou Williams-Andre Iguodala Lead Sixers to Another Collapse
Posted on 19 Jan 2011 by Bennett Snyder.
For the fourth time this season, the 76ers lost a seeming improbable game, that most teams would win 95 out of 100 times. This time because of a four point play with less than 20 seconds left as the Magic went on to win in OT 99 to 98. The Sixers were up 3 when the Magic fouled Lou Williams to put him at the line. He, just like in the Pistons collapse loss, failed at the free throw line, making...

Bucks at Sixers
Posted on 13 Jan 2011 by Kevin OHanlon.
With both teams coming into tonight's game, 8 games under .500 it appears this would just be another mediocre game between two 3rd place teams heading more for the basement then for the top of their divisions. With Nocioni playing hurt Iguodala is back on the floor and in his first game back played 33 minutes. I am thinking with the team sitting 8 games under and not showing much signs of lif...
