Maybe you've noticed, maybe you haven't, but lately the 76ers have been getting killed by the three-point shot. Obviously, this is a season-long problem, but lately it's been especially problematic. Let's look at the numbers: Tonight the New Orleans Hornets were 10 for 16. The other night the ...

... : What If… Grant Hill Kate Fegan of the Philadelphia Inquirer : “Any NBA player who has the amount of time the Sixers are giving is going to be a better shooter than his percentage.
