Welcome everybody to the countdown, after an excruciating week that featured 2 awful losses sandwiched around a heart breaker of a loss on Saturday night (my birthday no less!), I'm back to feeling pretty down on the team. Despite this, I support the team's direction and there seems to be some young talent here. So […]
Last time we met, I was feeling pretty down about our boys, but a recent surge in competency capped by Wednesday night's big win has me feeling pretty good about our boys in red, white, and blue. I only could listen to the second half of Wednesday's win on the radio, so I'll leave recapping the game […]
How's it going 76er fans? After taking the summer (and then some) off, the countdown has returned. By finally getting some work related ducks in a row, I actually have an hour to myself to write something about America's worst professional basketball team. So let get going. 1. TANK 2.0 As an ardent Sixer support […]
The days of this month, my 34th June, are making me feel young again. It has brought back those childhood feelings of excitement, anxiety, and impatience. As I often did in my childhood years, I have circled a date in June with a large red marker, and each morning I strike out another day with a […]
Well, be careful what you wish for, I guess. I vaguely recall sort of mentioning that I wouldn't mind it if the Sixers finished dead last in the league this season. As covered in the title, the Sixers have set a franchise record with 21 consecutive losses. Thank God this season is almost over, because this has been terrible. Of […]
While speaking at the Sloan Sports Conference in Boston, former NBA coach Stan Van Gundy went off about about tanking, and called the Sixers plan and roster an embarrassment. Well now, while it ain't good, I find it kind of hard to single out the Sixers when the Bucks are worse. Still, even the most die […]
The NBA trade deadline passed this afternoon, and the Sixers were by far the most active team in the league as they made 4 deals, shed a few unpopular players, and added approximately 17 second round picks. Let's break these trades down deal by deal. 1. Spencer to The Cavs for Earl Clark and 2 Second Round Picks […]
1. To thine own self be true In what very likely was their final game as members of the Philadelphia 76ers, Evan Turner and Spencer Hawes really went out of their way to give the fans a snapshot of their 4 years spent here. I know I may be the last defender of Hawes, but […]
The season's unofficial midpoint (and actual 2/3 mark) is upon us, so without any specific games to speak about, here are some random Sixers thoughts. 1. The Sixers already have replaced Jrue and Evan. When Jrue Holiday was traded to New Orleans on draft day 2013, it sent shock waves through the Philadelphia sports world. Despite being a […]
After a long holiday season spent working crazy retail hours, I have returned to what I hope will be a regular schedule of basketball and nonsense. So a lot has happened since last time I posted, let me explain… NO, there is too much let me sum up. 1. Sixers stock watch Here are […]
