I think you are the best Sixers blog and I voted for you, but Depressed fan, Passion & pride, Sixersoul etc are just as cool, each has its own unique assets: graphics, researches, writing, analysises etc. I think the best thing about this is that all Sixers bloggers have a good relationship between them, respect each other, and collaborate when there is the chance. For what is worth, I don't see any of the other sites as "competitors", it's great to have such good Sixers coverage all over the web, so that every reader can have multiple views on the team, different angles. So kudos to Dannie & Pete for what they are doing here and let's see if the hard work of all of us, bloggers, fans etc can positively affect the team !!

Good Luck Yea the team seemed kinda flat last night but it was preseason. I hope they come out at the season opener in the throwback uniforms. That would be good cause I'm sick of our current jersey's. Iggy jumper did look better, Lou looked real good, Speights is exciting, brand while not shooting well looks athletic and does not seem to show any effects of the injury the team will come togeather, but I have always thought that they were a 45-48 win team. I dont see them cracking 50 wins this year, but I hope I'm wrong. Voted! Good Luck Yea the team seemed kinda flat last night but it was preseason.

As far as Speights, I think this kid can be a stud. A lot of talent and athletic ability, and last night he was showing some <em>swagger</em> and confidence. I have a feeling by the time J Smith makes it back he'll be playing behind him.

I do agree Sammy is undervalued around here.  He is a commodity in this league.  An athletic center that rebounds well, blocks shots, can run the floor, catch lobs and finish with dunks not wimpy ass lay-ups.  Although sometimes he looks like he forgets his role and tries to go one-on-one for the most part he does his job every game.  If he got better defending pick and rolls I would absolutely love him. Speaking of pick and rolls.  Speights has a lot of potential in that area.  He moves his feet extremely well and is very agile.  He got switch on guards a few times last night and did a pretty good job of getting in a good defensive stance, keeping the guy at arms length to reduce their speed advantage and then getting a long arm up to contest a shot.  I am getting excited about this kid.  His energy level is very high especially on the offensive boards.

It's only preseason, but i saw some areas for concern, and I too miss Sammy every time he's not there. I think his value is truly underestimated. I was at the game last night, it was like a funeral in there, so after 2 beers I decided it was my responsibility to liven it up a bit. So if any of you went and heard the 1 insane man screaming at the Cav's like it was game 7 of the ECF, that was me. I got a pretty good rise out of the crowd when I told Varejao to cut his hair while shooting a free throw. Just kidding guys, I tried to vote for <strong>Recliner GM </strong>more than once but it wouldn't let me.  I would say you guys have the best blog, but I don't know for sure, I've never had to check out the others. You have everything I need right here. GOOD LUCK! Sorry guys had to vote for Depressed Fan.
