http://www.depressedfan.com/ - All Sixers, all the time.
Nine made threes. Career game for Lou Williams and clearly his best of the year, on both ends. Elton Brand continues his resurgence in a big way, four more blocks, four more steals, 8/14 from the floor, 6/7 from the line. Only three made threes for Memphis. Still, somehow, a loss . The reason ...

It's amazing how similar these teams are. Similar, and sad, to be honest. Neither plays a lick of defense, neither can defend the three, neither can shoot the three. They each have middle-of-the-road offenses and bad defenses. Each is blessed with supreme athleticism on the wings. Each has a ...

I'll admit it, Elton Brand's play against the Bobcats has me excited. Yes, it was one game, but he did things in that game that I worried he'd never be able to do again. Forget about the dunks, the guy is 6'8" with a standing reach of like 11 feet, he should be able to dunk when he's ...

We're on the verge of some new, and hopefully, exciting changes here at Depressed Fan. I say we, because you guys are what keeps me posting and I want you to be part of the process. After the jump, some details on the new site, the new server, a new radio show I'm going to be co-hosting with ...

Or are they? The Sixers defensive rating has improved over the past four games (2 wins, 2 losses), but have they really performed better? We'll take a look after the jump.
The Sixers now rank 21st in the league in defensive efficiency, down from their low point of 29th about a week and ...

If you're looking for a celebration for that win, you're going to have to look elsewhere. It took a monster effort from Elton Brand, in 42 minutes of work, to squeak out a two-point win over a hapless Bobcats team, at home. That's really not something to celebrate.
There are two things ...

The Sixers and the Bobcats come into tonight's game scuffling. Both teams are having serious problems on one side of the ball, neither has an identity. I'm fully expecting a street brawl on the floor with Brown clogging the lane mercilessly and the Sixers cruelly inviting Charlotte to hit ...

Almost immediately following the Stephen Jackson trade, word broke out in Oakland that another Warrior was being shopped, Monta Ellis. Jackson was a dynamic player, saddled with a bad contract and inflated offensive numbers that hold up much better when you're glancing at a box score, but ...

Marc Stein is reporting there are talks ongoing between the Sixers, Kings and Celtics regarding a three-team deal that would send Sam Dalembert packing. We'll take a look at the specifics and break the trade down after the jump.
Here's a look at the proposed players, where they'd be ...

Lost amid the losing, questionable coaching and nonexistent defense we've been forced to endure over the first ten games is the remarkable start Andre Iguodala has gotten off to. There's a catch, though. I think he's doing too much.
Quick trivia question for you: Who's the only player in ...

Three tweets from Kate Fagan during the Sixers practice today left me feeling empty inside. Details after the jump.
Here are the tweets, afterward the conclusions I'm jumping to:
Watching practice, they are running through 5-on-0 and Brand is w/ second unit. Not sure yet if that ...

Prior to the season I said we'd break the season down into 10-game segments. Predict the results of the upcoming 10, dissect the results of the previous 10. After the jump we'll take a look at where we've been and where we could be going. Make sure you vote in the poll as well.

Just a quick update on the status of our inaugural field trip. There are still plenty of seats available, in fact, we can increase our number as much as we need before Thursday (the 19th), when the balance of the bill is due. If you've already contacted me, make sure you send the payment by ...

And the hits just keep on coming. Via Twitter the Sixers announced Marreese Speights will miss 6 to 8 weeks with a slight tear of the medial collateral ligament in his left knee. No word on whether surgery will be needed.

The effort was better tonight. The results were the same, but the effort was better. I'd say about 80% of where it needs to be, which is much better than the 30% we saw against Utah. Forget about everything we've seen throughout the first 9 games, look at this game in a bubble and it's really ...

After being justifiably showered with boos last night in a half-empty Wachovia Center, maybe getting away for a game is just what the doctor ordered for this lost Philadelphia Seventy-Sixers team. Maybe this trip to Chicago, as the decided underdog against a team that seems to be lost as well ...

I'm at a loss after the Sixers embarrassing 112-90 loss to a depleted Jazz team in Philly tonight. Completely at a loss. All I have right now are questions, I'm hoping you guys can help me find the answers after the jump.
Here are the rotations, with no analysis. Questions to follow: ...

The good news first: Deron Williams will not be available for the Jazz tonight. And now the bad news: Without Williams the Jazz officially go from a formidable opponent, if slightly weakened, who will bring out the best in the Sixers, to a perfect opportunity for the Sixers to underwhelm ...
