Really??

Last night in Philly, the Pistons lost to the Sixers, 101-94. Rip, Tayshaun and ‘Sheed all sat out the fourth quarter for Detroit in a clear move by Flip Saunders to rest his core players (Rip missed the whole game with a sore hip).
From Flip’s perspective (and pretty much anybody else with an interest […]

The dark cloud hanging over the Sixers and their current, surprising run at the NBA Playoffs (other than playing their way right out of a shot at Michael Beasley, Derrick Rose and Eric Gordon, among others) is the spectre of Andre Iguodala’s contract situation. He clearly wants to be, and thinks of himself, as the […]

Congratulations fellow Sixers fans - as your team continues to play its way right out of 10 years of Michael Beasley dominance in exchange for a pointless first-round sweep at the hands of the Celtics or Pistons, you can pick up one of these tonight to have stare at you every day as a reminder. […]

The Palm Beach Post says that Rodney Carney’s transition dunk on Dwyane Wade last night in Philly “might hold up as the dunk of the year.”
Not sure about that, but it was pretty vicious. Here’s the clip below (including Wade cramming on Carney’s face later in the game).

Carney hasn’t done much this year, and it […]

So come this summer, after we play our way out of any chance of landing Michael Beasely, Eric Gordon or Derrick Rose, Sixers fans will still have this:

There was pretty much a sold decade’s worth of time where Allen Iverson was one of basketball’s most bankable athletes. Where A.I. played - home or away - tickets sold. A lot. But it appears that may no longer be the case. In light of THIS, Denver’s Rocky Mountain News ran a story about […]

One year ago today, my Sixers traded the greatest little man in the history of the game for Andre Miller and Jason Smith. Needless to say, December 19th is not one of my favorite anniversaries.
The video posted below is one of the best Allen Iverson retrospectives I’ve ever seen, complete with Tupac, […]

The blog The Pig Pen takes a look at some NBA team logos that should have never changed over the years. Offenders include the Nuggets, Warriors, Mavs, Spurs, Bucks and my Sixers.
I, for one, wish Philly would go back to the Dr. J or Charles Barkley-era unis. The A.I.-era ones have run their course.
Check […]

There are multiple stories in the New York-area papers this morning about how Nets GM Rod Thorn insists that there is no deal in the works involving Jason Kidd, including THIS ONE from the NY Post and THIS ONE from the Newark Star-Ledger.
The funny thing is (or not so funny if you’re Kidd, Thorn […]

Dude hasn’t worn a Sixers uni since ‘97, and he drops THIS.
Thanks Stack.

Thank you Ed Snider. Thank you for sparing Philadelphia from one more day of Billy King’s run; for freeing us from what was arguably the most inept, ridiculous decade in the 76ers’ long, (mostly) proud history.
I have detailed in this space multiple times the absurdity of what Billy King has done to my beloved franchise; […]

Last Friday night, I was on a JetBlue flight out of NYC for Saturday’s Converse Open Gym / launch of the Wade 3 event in Miami. Being as it was a JetBlue flight, I was blessed with TV for the entire trip, delays and all.
As the flight was winding down, the Celtics / Wizards […]

Note the sarcasm of this post’s title. I had planned on putting together some thoughts today on the Sixers‘ opener last night in all of its frustrating/depressing glory, but one of my favorite blogs, The 700 Level, already did it for me.
Pretty much sums it up, doesn’t it?
