Bring Your Kids to the Game

Click for full story.
Tomorrow night, the Sixers are holding a special promotion to try to pack a few extra fans into the Wach. The first 5,000 kids will receive Andre Iguodala action figures (pictured above)? The obvious question here is what will the Sixers do with the 4,000 or so leftover action figures. The sad thing is, I'd actually probably take my kids if it was an afternoon game.

NCAA Day 1 Impressions

I missed all of the early games due to, well, putting food on the table, but tonight I got a chance to watch a decent chunk of basketball. Some quick thoughts after the jump. Full story

Someone Has To Win

After tomorrow night's game against the Knicks, the Sixers will only have one chance left to lose to one of the teams they're battling for lottery position. After the jump, we'll take a quick look at the matchups of the league's pitiful teams remaining on the schedule. Full story

Win #24

I've kind of written off the whole, "worst team ever" thing where the Nets are concerned this season, mainly because I thought they had some decent pieces and they've just run into some bad luck from the jump this year. After what I saw on the floor last night, though, I'm pretty sure they've earned their record. Full story

Worst Matchup of the Year?

Some movies are so bad, they're good. So horrible, you can't help but watch. Drama becomes comedy, comedy becomes tragedy. You get the picture. I'm wondering if tonight's Sixers/Nets game will have that same sort of train wreck atmosphere. I guess at least the Nets have something to play for (avoiding the worst record in the history of the league). Preview and game thread after the jump. Full story

One Year Ago

Exactly one year ago, the Sixers were preparing to play the Lakers on the road. They were firmly in the race for the #4 seed in the East, playing very good basketball. Andre Iguodala's game-winning three that night was definitely the highlight of the regular season for me. How can everything go so wrong in only 365 days? Full story

Tanking Wounded

If you look at the teams who have tanked successfully, without having a roster devoid of talent, traditionally they've had injuries to grease the skids, if you will. The Sixers have had some injuries this season, but none to the players who really matter when we're talking about winning and losing games. Heading into tonight's game against the Nets, perhaps quantity will make up for quality, where the injury bug is concerned. Full story

Movement

After months of hard work, the Sixers have finally moved out of the #9 spot in the lottery. Above is Chad Ford's latest mock draft. Full story

New and Interesting Ways

I have to be honest, I didn't believe the Sixers had a loss in them tonight. Not against the Knicks, at home. I mean, this team has been bi-polar to some degree for the past three seasons, so I fully expected them to snap out of this disgusting streak and take care of the Knicks in a laugher. It started out that way, then Edward Jordan took over. Full story

D'Antoni Still Coaching To Win

Lineup Update The New York Knicks are in the rare position of both being at the bottom of the standings and not being hurt in any way by winning basketball games. Utah owns their first-round pick this summer, so winning and losing is really meaningless to the Knicks at this point. It must be liberating. Preview and game thread after the jump. Full story

Something To Root For - Jrue 4 3!

I'm unbelievably tired of talking about losing. If I'm going to make it through the next 31 days in one piece, I need some kind of respite from what this season has been reduced to - counting losses. In order to try to maintain my sanity, I'm going to try to come up with something to root for as often as I can. First on the list: Jrue Holiday's three-point stroke. Full story

I Hope You Aren't Superstitious

If you are, you better hope the Sixers have enough karmic capital in the bank to make up for tanking the rest of this season, because tonight we saw the first clear signs that they plan on making every effort to lose as many games as possible. Full story

These Losses Absolutely Matter

In Kate Fagan's column today she talks about the remaining 17 games on the Sixers schedule, and the damage that can be done to this roster if tanking becomes the goal. I can't say that I agree, simply because I believe the damage has already been done. The first 65 games have already torn this team to pieces, and 17 more losses would absolutely do more good than harm. Their next opportunity comes at 6pm, in Miami. Preview and game thread after the jump. Full story
