If a Team Plays Horrible Defense

And no one is there to see it, is it still horrible defense? Full story

An Expected, Yet Excruciating Loss

The first half was heartening on the defensive end. The second half was a soul-crushing reminder that this team has a long, long way to go on both sides of the ball. The Celts beat the Sixers by 31 and it felt much worse than that. Full story

The Rookie Treatment

Jrue Holiday has played a grand total of 7 minutes, 44 seconds in the past two preseason games. Against the Nets he saw one brief run in the first half, against the Knicks he never got off the bench. Dei Lynam spoke to the rookie for her latest piece, after the jump we'll take a look at how the kid is handling his role. Full story

Predicting 2010: Jrue Holiday

Today's edition of the Predicting 2010 Series will feature less comparative analysis and a whole lot more guesswork. Jrue Holiday is mostly an unknown heading into this season. There's no way to tell how good of player he'll be at only 19 years-old, and there's really no way to know how the Sixers plan to bring him along. After the jump, I'll try to piece together some projections. Full story

Jrue's Minutes

A couple of articles got caught by my filter over the past couple days about Lou Williams' confidence in stepping into the role of starting point guard, and e-mailed to me by loyal readers (thanks Dean). One blurb in particular caught my eye. Basically, Lou said he's going to be playing 30-35 minutes per night. I'm sure I realized that would be the case, but I hadn't really thought about it. Nor had I thought about how the minutes will be doled out at the guard positions. After the jump, I'm going to try to make an educated guess and see how Jrue fits in. Full story

Missing Mister Miller

Perhaps I've been too blasé about Andre Miller's departure from the Sixers. I agree that re-singing him for more than two seasons would have been foolish. I understand the team's desire to give Lou a legitimate shot at the point, they did give him a hefty contract last summer after all. Generally, I'm pretty happy with the youth movement, but there are definitely things I'm going to miss about Miller. After the jump we'll talk about one thing in particular that I believe he could've passed on to Jrue Holiday. Full story

Follow In Iguodala's Footsteps?

When the whirlwind of the NBA draft finally settles down and Jrue Holiday has a chance to take a breath and start thinking about how he's going to earn minutes in his rookie season, he really needs to sit down with Andre Iguodala. Actually, I'll take it a step further, he needs to become Iguodala's shadow. In the gym, in the weight room, in film study. You name it, they need to be attached at the hip because these guys have a whole lot in common. Full story

Building To Win, But When?

Since the selection of Jrue Holiday with the #17 pick in Thursday night's draft I've seen and heard reactions from fans ranging from loving the move to hating it. You all know which camp I fall in, and you know why. What really made me curious was the fans who were dead-set against Holiday. After the jump I'll take a stab at putting my thumb on the root of the frustration, and maybe shed a little light on what direction this team is headed, or to be more accurate, how quickly they're headed there.

Jrue Holiday: PG Of the Future

As most of you know, I went into this draft with unrealistic hopes of seeing the Sixers trade up to get Stephen Curry. When Curry went #7 to the Warriors I felt deflated. When Brandon Jennings went to the Bucks at #10 I felt encouraged. When Earl Clark went to the Suns at #14 I was downright excited. Why? Because at that point, Jrue Holiday was a virtual lock to drop to the Sixers. Full story
