... LINKY DINKY DO:• Maybe the Sixers should move back to the Spectrum. According to this report, they don't need as many seats as they get at the Center. The Sixers are 28th out of 30 teams in attendance. Phils hangover? This is an exciting young team who made the playoffs last year? I thought people cared about basketball in this town?

They were coming off a year in which they exceeded every expectations, had replaced an unpopular general manager with a hometown boy, and made the “it” signing of the offseason, snatching EB away from the Clippers. They had shown they were good, played hard, and were committed to winning - I’m guessing they assumed this would translate into increased attendance numbers. Not so. A combination of Phillies fatigue, a slumping economy, and the Sixers’ slow start has left the ...
