The Atlanta Hawks and Philadelphia 76ers are two teams that are polar opposites of each other, especially with the NBA regular season winding down. The Hawks, losers of three of their last four games prior to their tilt against the 76ers Wednesday night, seem to have been inconsistent and unfocused while the Sixers have been [...]

Durant’s 3 In OT Helps Thunder Edge 76ers 110-105
One thing that was discovered during Wednesday night’s game between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Philadelphia 76ers is that both teams are clearly on the rise. The Thunder got the head start in that respect, but under coach Doug Collins, the 76ers are methodically making a climb in the seeding department in terms of the Eastern [...]
Howard Powers Magic Past 76ers 99-95
Anyone who is a fan of or follows Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard knows that he isn’t the best free throw shooter at his position.

76ers Dominant From Opening Tap, Crush Hawks At Philips 117-83

If the Rookie of the Year award was based on just the results of the NBA season thus far, then rookie point guard John Wall of the Washington Wizards would probably win hands-down. During the Tuesday night tilt between the Philadelphia 76ers and Washington Wizards, Wall was “The Everyman” for 45 minutes. He nearly pulled [...]
Balanced Scoring Helps Bulls Beat 76ers 94-88
The Chicago Bulls and Philadelphia 76ers, two teams with upside. Yet during Saturday night’s game between these two teams, one would have mistaken them for the New Jersey Nets and New York Knicks as neither team shot very well (Chicago at 44.9% while Philadelphia shot 42%). Fortunately for the Bulls, they used a team effort [...]
