Posted in When you’re an NBA franchise, naturally your foremost objective is to not lose on your home court. In the event that you do, then you at least ensure that the game is competitive. Tuesday night at Philips Arena, the Atlanta Hawks welcomed the Philadelphia 76ers; the home team took it on the chin as Philadelphia shot [...]

76ers Bench Mans Up, Cool Off Suns 105-95
This is just my point of view, but I am sensing that the Philadelphia 76ers are finally coming full circle as a team. Prior to their game against the Phoenix Suns, they went 6-5; while that does not seem like much, consider that after starting the season 3-13, they went 15-12 – again prior to [...]
Pacers Earn Rare Road Win, Outlast 76ers 111-103
The Indiana Pacers have had a diffcult time getting wins on the road – five of them,to be exact prior to their game Tuesday night against the Philadelphia 76ers. The Sixers welcomed back Andre Iguodala to their starting lineup; unfortunately, he was largely ineffective, scoring just one point. Darren Collison helped snap a tie late [...]
76ers Enjoy Holiday In Valley Of The Sun, Cool Off Suns 123-110

A name that most Eastern conference teams have had to deal with, much to [...]
Warriors Dial Up 15 Treys, Club 76ers 110-95
Monta Ellis has been the everyman for the Golden State Warriors lately as he has logged some heavy minutes. As a result, his ankle has taken a beating. And usually when Ellis is hurting, the team suffers as a result. Monday night would find the Warriors at Oracle Arena taking on the Philadelphia 76ers; both [...]
It Wasn’t The Prettiest Game
The Miami Heat have been falling faster than Kindga Ka since falling to Rudy Gay and the Memphis Grizzlies. Then came the Indiana Pacers in a 93-77 disappointing loss and then the Orlando Magic in the 104-95 loss. It was just crazy, and the Heat were now stuck at 8-7. Chris Bosh wasn’t even looking [...]
Dribbling Around The Association
Two Of The Most Explosive Scorers In The NBA 7 Quick Crossover Dribbles: After watching Bulls PG Derrick Rose issue out his second 33-point affair in as many nights in the state of Texas (Tuesday-Houston, Wednesday-San Antonio), it got me pondering, “Who would you rather start a franchise with”: Rose or Warriors SG Monta Ellis? [...]
2011 NBA All-Star Game Reserves – Who Deserves A Nod?
The beautiful – and contentious – thing about selecting reserves for both the Western and Eastern conferences for the NBA All-Star game is that you cannot please everyone in terms of who is selected and snubbed. Yet the current system that’s in place will be around presumably for some time to come. Having said that, I [...]
