Brotherly Link Love: 4-30-2008

Mr. T

I figured I just do a Brotherly Link Love post today since it has been pretty depressing reading the Philly boards and comments coming off the whoopin' Detroit laid on the Sixers last night. And I really don't want to waste my time typing up game 6 adjustments since it's pretty clear Mo Cheeks doesn't make any. So here is a blend of 76ers and other posts of interest for you to check out. The Mavs fired coach Avery Johnson today. This was a no-brainer for me. I have never thought of him as an … [Read more...]

76ers vs. Pistons Playoff Series: Detroit Pounds Sixers in Game 5

Not much to say after getting manhandled like that. This was the first game in the series the 76ers looked like they were completely out of their league and had no shot of winning. Quick thoughts on the game: Samuel Dalembert's Tribal Warrior hair cut, as Pete called it, was good enough for 4 points and 6 rebounds in 30 minutes. I guess he was more prepared to go hunt some wild animals than play competitive basketball. Great offensive execution by the Pistons combined again with poor … [Read more...]

Recliner GM’s Eagles Draft Review

laws

Let me start by saying that the Eagles have earned my trust in the draft even if they don't do what I think they should have done. Why? Because 18 of 22 starters in 2008 will be players they have drafted, and it could be 19 of 22 if Victor Abiamiri beats out Juqua Parker (formerly Juqua Thomas) for the starting DE spot. They have built primarily through the draft and have been more consistently competitive than 90% of the NFL since Andy Reid took the reigns. If I was a Lions fan? I think I'd be … [Read more...]

Game 5 Adjustments for the 76ers

Basketball Clipboard

Winning game 5 in Detroit is critical for the 76ers' upset bid mainly to avoid the pressure of having to win a game 7 against the PIstons on the road. I hate thinking about that scenario for our young Sixers who missed an opportunity to show their killer instinct Sunday night. Although I have very little confidence that the 76ers will make significant adjustments for game 5, here are my thoughts if I was Mo Cheeks. Line Up Strongest: Samuel Dalembert - Reggie Evans - Thaddeus Young - … [Read more...]

76ers vs. Pistons Playoff Series: Philly BLOWS Game 4

The Philadelphia 76ers now have a stranglehold on Detroit in their 1st round playoff series.

OK, guys, I just got back from the Sixers game tonight, and I am still a little hot by the way they played in the second half. This game was the classic tale of two halves, and the 76ers picked the wrong one to show up for. Best way to describe this game is - missed opportunity. They had the Pistons by the balls, and tonight was the game they needed to squeeze the crap out of them. Instead they let a dangerous Detroit team right back into this series giving the home court advantage right back to … [Read more...]

There Can Only Be One: Iguodala and Hamilton

I just saw this commercial during the Boston/Atlanta game. It was the first time I saw one with a Philly player so I figured I would share it with you guys. And by the way, this is what he should have said on PTI the other day. … [Read more...]

Detroit’s Reaction to the Game 3 Blowout

Do you think the Detroit Pistons and their faithful have changed their tune about the underdog Sixers after last nights blasting? ogrady500 on the ESPN Detroit Pistons message board: "No respect is deserved. The Sixers are a little more than a collection of scrubs, but at least they are putting forth an effort, which is more than I can say for the disgraceful Pistons. This is about the Pistons playing like complete A-Holes and has almost ZERO to do with anything the Sixers are … [Read more...]

76ers vs. Pistons Playoff Series: Philly Punches Back in Game 3

The Philadelphia 76ers lead the Detroit Pistons 2 games to 1 in the first round of the 2008 NBA playoffs

Where do you start when your team comes off a disappointing playoff loss and plays the best game you could have asked for? I am beyond proud of our Philadelphia 76ers after tonight's performance. The Sixers came out right from the tap and jumped all over the Detroit Pistons. They completely dominated every aspect of the game for 48 minutes. The result: a 95-75 dismantling of the Detroit Pistons. Game Notes This game was unlike either of the first two in that the Sixers finally … [Read more...]

Breaking News! Eagles Linked to Top Receiver!

eagles-wr

Back in December, I listed the things that I really wanted for Christmas. #1 was that in the off-season, the Eagles trade for a true top-flight receiver and give Donovan McNabb one last chance with a wide array of weapons. Clearly, as of yet, the Eagles have not done so. But what's worse than not getting what you want? Being told you MIGHT get what you want, about a million different times, getting your hopes up, and then crashing violently back to earth. Let's recap: "Moss was almost an … [Read more...]

76ers vs. Pistons Playoff Series: Detroit Takes Game 2

Andre Iguodala should look sad after a performance like that!

Guys, I need some help here. I had a championship basketball game last night at 8 p.m. in my winter bball league. Meaning I missed the entire first half and 3 minutes into the third quarter. What the hell happened? When I finally got in front of a TV, the score was 58-38 with about 9 minutes and some change left in the 3rd. Luckily we won our championship game so I wasn't as pissed as I would have been looking at the final score of 105-88. I can't exactly do a real game recap and analysis … [Read more...]
