Straight from the head coach to the players and fans ears:
“There were two different teams out there tonight. One team (the Grizzlies) rallied around each other and the other team (the Sixers) fragmented. I’m not going to sugar-coat it. We had five different guys go five separate ...

This match-up lost a ton of luster when A.I. bounced. Now it’s just two below average teams battling and trying to figure out a winning mix.
The storyline most of us will be watching is how does Elton Brand back-up his best performance as a Sixer.
I know he doesn’t want or ...

All-Time Tourney Rules and Explanation
Here’s the first series of the first round of ReclinerGM’s Phillies’ All-Time Tourney. It’s a match-up of the #1 seed 1976 team and #8 seed 1980 team. The teams are obviously very similar, as the line-ups below show.

Unless you don’t have a job, and have ESPNU, you probably didn’t watch the Nova game today. Dannie and I “watched” on separate GameCasts at work, and saw a very strange game unfold.
It ended with Villanova winning 69-68, but here’s how they got there….

Would you look at that. Elton Brand can still throw down! And did so I believe 3 or 4 times last night.
Brand’s line was promising even against a terrible Bobcats team.
19 points on 8-17 from the floor and 3-4 from the line.
11 boards, 7 offensive and many of them converted ...

Who is the best Phillies team of all time?
There is no way to say for certain, but WhatIfSports gives us fans a unique opportunity to simulate the possibilities, and that is exactly what I will be doing this off-season.
WhatIfSports uses very sophisticated techniques to simulate each pitch ...

Honestly I got nothing fancy for this game. We just need a win. And especially need a win against weak (I can’t say weak ER right now given how the Sixers are playing) teams.
First game for the Sixers in a few days and I am just looking forward to watching some more basketball.

FoxSports is reporting that the Phillies are the “favorite” to land 3B Mark DeRosa, and that they are looking to spend around “$4-$6 million” a year on Pedro Feliz’s replacement.
I’m torn on DeRosa, here are some positives and negatives of signing him, and ...

Hat tip to regular reader Ed. R. for pointing this out to me while I was in a 2-hour meeting.
Three team trade between the Sixers, Celtics and Kings:
Sources told ESPN.com that the Philadelphia 76ers and Sacramento Kings, in considering the feasibility of a Samuel Dalembert-for-Kenny Thomas ...

There is no news in the fact that #5 Villanova trounced their first 2 cupcake opponents, Farleigh Dickinson and Penn, but we are getting our first look at what the new guys are made of and what kind of minutes they are going to be getting, among other things.
Here’s what I take away ...

Alright, well after a flurry of rumors to start the off season, we haven’t really heard much by way of Phillies rumors in the last couple days. Here’s what I have found – please share anything you have read that I don’t have here.

Kate Fagan is reporting that Elton Brand might be the odd man out of a starting line-up change .
She tweeted during practice today and has her summary up with some choice quotes from Eddie Jordan and Elton Brand. Check it out to read between the lines.
This is highly curious for one ...

This is was a pro Ty Lawson Sixers blog and still is. I love the kid and am quite envious of Denver. So chances are you will see a post like there here and there. If you don’t like the infatuation, skip it or take a spin over to the pro Jrue Sixers blog .

We can all think of a number of words to describe the Sixers start to the 2010 season.
Disappointing
Frustrating
Infuriating
Expected?
That last word is the one I am struggling with. I fully expected the Sixers to start slow. I fully expected them to struggle with offensive ...

I just got back in town and the misery that is the Philadelphia 76ers continues.
Marreese Speights one of the only bright spots so far this season has a partial MCL tear which will keep him out 6-8 weeks . And that doesn’t account for how he will be able to perform immediately ...

The Sixers once again will face a team that is not at full strength. The Jazz will be without Deron Williams who was excused from tonight’s game for personal reasons.
That’s a good and bad thing in my mind.
The good is obvious. The Sixers clearly have a better chance of ...

Yesterday, the story was about the Phillies going “hard” after Chone Figgins to replace Pedro Feliz at 3B.
Today’s rumor du jour? We’ve contacted Figgins, but he is at least 4th on our list. The Inquirer is reporting that Amaro’s top-3 choices to replace Pedro ...
