The Second TenField Trip UpdateJust a quick update on the status of our inaugural field trip. There are still plenty of seats available, in fact, we can increase our number as much as we need before Thursday (the 19th), when the balance of the bill is due. If you've already contacted me, make sure you send the payment by Wednesday via PayPal. If you haven't saved your spot yet, you can find the details after the jump, as well as a link to the official field trip t-shirts. Full storySpeights Out 6-8 WeeksAnd the hits just keep on coming. Via Twitter the Sixers announced Marreese Speights will miss 6 to 8 weeks with a slight tear of the medial collateral ligament in his left knee. No word on whether surgery will be needed. Full storyC For EffortThe effort was better tonight. The results were the same, but the effort was better. I'd say about 80% of where it needs to be, which is much better than the 30% we saw against Utah. Forget about everything we've seen throughout the first 9 games, look at this game in a bubble and it's really not that much of a kick in the stomach. Full storyBack End In the Windy CityAfter being justifiably showered with boos last night in a half-empty Wachovia Center, maybe getting away for a game is just what the doctor ordered for this lost Philadelphia Seventy-Sixers team. Maybe this trip to Chicago, as the decided underdog against a team that seems to be lost as well will be the wake-up call we've all been hoping for. Preview after the jump. Full storyNothing But QuestionsI'm at a loss after the Sixers embarrassing 112-90 loss to a depleted Jazz team in Philly tonight. Completely at a loss. All I have right now are questions, I'm hoping you guys can help me find the answers after the jump. Full storyUtah Limps Into the WachThe good news first: Deron Williams will not be available for the Jazz tonight. And now the bad news: Without Williams the Jazz officially go from a formidable opponent, if slightly weakened, who will bring out the best in the Sixers, to a perfect opportunity for the Sixers to underwhelm against a shaky squad. Full storyJust Split 'EmAll the Sixers need to accomplish to make the opening 10 games of their schedule a success in the win/loss column, if not in our minds, is to win one game in the upcoming back-to-back. Sounds simple, but the two PGs pictured above and circumstances are stacked against them. More after the jump. Full storyTo Dunk, Or Not To DunkTwo men share the same bench yet sit on opposite ends of the dunking spectrum. Hear their stories and see the proof after the jump. Full storyA Shameful WinPart of me wishes I could be a fly on the wall in the Sixers team bus right now. Part of me is deathly afraid that I'd have a massive coronary if saw anyone celebrating. This was not a win to be cherished. This was another in what is a growing long line of piss poor performances. Full storySixers Nets Game Thread Part 2Continue the game thread here. Full storyPF/C CombosBob Ford's column today is mainly about Elton Brand's newfound position at the end of the bench for the bulk of the second half, and how this must look to the team's owner. Personally, I don't care how much each player is making. In a perfect world, you wouldn't dole out minutes based on salary. Not if your goals are winning and/or developing a roster. If your only goal is saving your job, then yes, coach by dollars. That's not the point of this post, however. I want to talk about the theory behind the moves Jordan is making. Full story
