The Sixers are idle today coming off a loss to the Cavs last night.  They played semi-hard and kept the game out of blowout territory.  I guess that's all we could really ask for and expect at this point.  4 straight losses.  1 full game behind Miami for the 5th seed and 1 full game ahead of Detroit and Chicago with 3 to play.  That's the picture right now. Here are a few interesting discussion points for you guys to talk about until tomorrow's game against the Raps. The Willie Green … [Read more...]

Everyone is high off the Eagles big win over the Giants.  And the Sixers are finally starting to give their fans something to get excited about.  Today felt really slow and we have to wait until Wednesday for the high anticipated match up with the Trailblazers I figured I'd bring back the Brotherly Link Love posts.  I haven't done one of these in a while and really need to get back to it a bit more.  I think it's important to recognize and discuss other people's opinions outside of this blog … [Read more...]

Haven't done one of these posts in a while, but I figured it would be good since I won't be around this weekend to write a new post. So hopefully the multiple topics I toss out there via the links below will help keep the conversation going through the weekend.

He is a lock-down defender with good … [Read more...]

Haven't posted in a few days, been busy working on some other online stuff, but I have read a bunch of 76ers-related articles lately that I thought I'd share to stir up some good Sixers talk. Let's kick this off with our friend over at Sixers 4 Guidos (love the new banner by the way, Ricky!). Ricky is doing a Sixer-by-Sixer 07/08 breakdown just as we are here on the Recliner. He has started with, in both our opinions, the team MVP, Andre Miller. Make sure you head over and check out a fellow … [Read more...]

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...]

Brotherly Link Love will be a regular post dedicated solely to recognizing other great bloggers and content primarily about the 76ers.  I will surely toss in some main stream and non-Sixers articles I think you guys will like as well.  But the main point is to promote other bloggers who are doing a good job writing about sports.  Oh, and unlike other "link posts" I won't just give links without context or my own thoughts.  So here we go... The first ever review of The Recliner GM Sports … [Read more...]
