Brickuodala
I love Andre Iguodala as a player--just not as a first option, and definitely not as the guard initiating the offense. Coach Eddie Jordan may have liked Iguodala's near triple double (11pts, 10asts, 7 rebs) but I didn't. Iguodala scored...

A Beauty in the ugliness
Nobody would ever mistake these Sixers with an NBA juggernaut. Still there was a certain rugged beauty in the Sixers ugly 82-79 victory over the New Jersey Nets.With each game there is more to be learned about this team. The...

Too close to the Suns...
Steve Nash may have had 21 points and 20 assists, but he didn't beat the Sixers last night. Jared Dudley did. You expect a superstar to be super. You don't expect a bench player like Dudley to light you up.As...

Looking good!
Sure the Sixers had to hang on on Saturday after blowing a huge lead against the lowly Knicks, and sure it still seems like Samuel Dalembert has a hard time staying out of foul trouble, but the Sixers are 2-1,...

Just about right...
So what have we learned over the past two games? Against Orlando, we learned that the Sixers are a ways away from being an elite team.Last night against Milwaukee we learned that the Sixers should feast on sub-par teams like...

Not unexpected but...
I never expected the Sixers to saunter into Orlando's Amway Arena and put the smackdown on the Orlando Magic. So when I tuned in at the beginning of the second quarter and saw the Sixers were only down two points,...

Fired Up Ready To Go
Preseason is a barometer of nothing. The real deal begins this Wednesday, and this is the most excited I've been about a Sixer season since 2002-2003. We're young. We're athletic. Our coach is satisfied with what he has. It's all...
