Get Out of Jail Free Card

The last time the CBA was renegotiated, in 2005, a free pass was created for negligent owners. Basically, each team which was over the luxury tax was allowed to cut one player and remove their figure from their luxury tax bill. They still had to pay the player, but as far as luxury tax calculations were concerned, he disappeared immediately. After the jump, let's play a game about the possible strike next summer.

On An Island

When we talk about the Sixers' frontcourt on the defensive end of the floor, well, it's mostly a hypothetical discussion. We're forced to choose between believing that Spencer Hawes, Jason Smith, Marreese Speights, Thad Young or some combination thereof will miraculously learn to defend in a way they've shown no propensity to in their first combined 10 years in the league and hooking our wagon to the hope that Elton Brand can turn back into the player he was before the Achilles injury. I'd say the latter is much more likely. Full story

Chad Ford Is Off His Rocker

I'm convinced Chad Ford is out of his mind. He continues to beat the drum that the Sixers are likely to trade the #2 pick (a) because Turner doesn't fit with Iguodala and (b) because other teams are interested in moving up and (c) because Doug Collins is in a "win now" situation. Let's throw some cold water on Ford's faulty logic after the jump. Full story

Sophie's Choice, Sixers Style

I have a simple question for you guys after the jump. It's an either or situation and its one of the few where I honestly couldn't tell you where I stand. Full story

The Alternative Isn't Pretty

Outside of a handful of games this season, Elton Brand has not been the player we were expecting when he signed his $80M contract to join the 76ers two summers ago. He has not lived up to his contract, he has not been an impact player on either end of the floor, for the most part. He has been a disappointment on any scale. All of that is true. It's also true that they have almost no chance to win games when he isn't playing. Full story

Sixers Lose Game, Iverson, Dignity and Maybe Brand

The Sixers somehow succeeded in making an embarrassing home loss into a non-story tonight. Their diversions: Cutting ties with a legend, a coach meltdown and a possible serious injury to their $80M power forward. Yep, that'll do the trick. Full story

Get Some Rest

Elton Brand missed practice yesterday with a strained right calf (not the same leg as the Achilles injury). He said he tweaked the calf on 2/19 against San Antonio, and he's been playing hurt. He's listed as day-to-day. I say take as long as you need, then take a couple more days. Full story

Starting Strong

It's been 15 games since the Sixers changed their starting lineup, moving Brand back to PF and inserting Jrue as the starting point guard. The team is 9-6 over those 15 games, and for the most part, the starting group has done a great job. We'll take a closer look after the jump. Full story

Umm, That Was Dominant

This win streak started with the Sixers talented players overcoming their asinine coach's rotations. At this point, it doesn't seem to matter who he puts on the floor. The Sixers extended their streak to five in dramatic fashion with a no-doubt-about-it butt kicking of the T-Wolves in front of hundreds of fans at the Wach. Full story

Finding Balance

Andre Iguodala has not been himself over the past three games. Whether it's the swirling trade rumors, the barbs his coach seems to enjoy throwing at him, or something deeper is anyone's guess. He's simply been marginalized in the half-court offense and it hasn't been pretty. After the jump I'm going to examine the Sixers' big three, specifically shot distribution among them. Full story

A Decent Loss

All things considered, the Sixers played a pretty decent 48 minutes tonight and lost to a better team. It's as simple as that. Full story

Starters Set the Tone

Eddie Jordan's new starting lineup only played 11:07 together in tonight's game against Indiana, but in those 11+ minutes they outscored the Pacers 24-15, after the jump we'll take a look at how they dominated, with a few words about the rest of the game as well. Full story

Bucking Every Trend

You could look at this win as temporary stay of execution for Eddie Jordan, which is undoubtedly a horrible thing for the franchise. You could look at it as 48 minutes of possible development/evaluation down the tubes (10 minutes for Jrue, 19 minutes for Thad). I'm going to choose to look at it as a glimpse of what this team is capable of, once Eddie Jordan is gone. Full story
