Posted on 18 Dec 2012 by Michael Thibault.
The Sixers fell to the Mavericks tonight in Dallas 107-100. OJ Mayo lead the way with 26 points for the Mavericks and Dorell Wright, yes you heard that right, Dorell Wright led the Sixers with 25.

Evan Turner is the Key to Success for Philadelphia
Posted on 27 Oct 2012 by Scott Lentz.
There is much to be excited about for Sixers fans as we head into the 2012-2013 season. As the Cinderella story of the Eastern Conference last season, the Sixers stunned the top-seeded Chicago Bulls in the first round of the playoffs (with some help from Derrick Rose's knee) and pushed the Boston Celtics to a deciding seventh game in the Eastern Conference Semi-Finals. The Sixers ranked 3rd o...

Turns out this year’s first meeting between the teams also had first place of the Atlantic Division riding on it. With the 76ers feeling the pressure of slipping behind the Celtics for the first time this season, Evan Turner answered the challenge with quit...

Pitt: 2 Criticisms That Remain The Same
Posted on 10 Mar 2011 by Michael Waterloo.
After their loss to Connecticut today, we are starting to hear the usual talk about Pitt choking in the NCAA tournament and their inability to get to the Final Four. While the loss today was a downer, as it is their third consecutive year losing their first game in the Big East tournament, it isn’t reason to think Pitt is going to fail in the NCAA tournament. With, in my opinion, the dee...

Posted on 5 Dec 2010 by Warren Shaw.
Injury and coaching inaptitude highlight this week’s edition of Love ‘Em or Leave ‘Em alone. Let’s get to work! Jerryd Bayless: Jose Calderon owners beware! Bayless has played well in 2 of his last 3 games highlighted by a 23pt, 7reb, 6ast and 5 made threes effort against the Knicks on Sunday.

Save the Franchise: Hindsight from Sixers Offseason
Posted on 29 Oct 2010 by Christopher Rowe.
25-year anniversary of 1982-83 Champs...since then... nothing All right… fine… the rumors were not true… Andre Iguodala did NOT request/demand/insist or provide any kind of ultimatum regarding his desire to be traded. The question that arises for me would be “Why the hell not?” Why would Iguodala, a solid if unspectacular player want to continue playing for a moribund team l...

The Sixers fork in the road
Posted on 17 Jul 2010 by Mike Santa Barbara.
The Sixers may have benefited from a short lived buzz due to the drafting of Evan Turner, the work is not finished. In all reality, the work may not be finished before the start of the 2010/11 campaign. The Sixers have reached the proverbial “fork in the road.” It’s where decisions must be made, like it or not. Mainly, the Sixers must figure out which direction they want this team to ...
