Philadelphia 76ers

WHATEVER IS destined to happen in negotiations between the 76ers and free-agent point guard Andre Miller, one aspect came clearly into focus yesterday:

While 76ers forward Andre Iguodala did a crossover and talked to a group of campers yesterday at the Flyers Skate Zone in the Northeast, team president and general manager Ed Stefanski began working on a move of his own as NBA free agency got under way.

TODAY WOULD BE one of those days where it would be good for the 76ers if point guard Andre Miller were a little less unusual.

The Philadelphia 76ers don't have to do much thinking when it comes to where to begin when the free agency...

This summer's free agency - like most 76ers possessions the last 21/2 seasons - begins with point guard Andre Miller.

After the 76ers officially introduced Jrue Holiday - the No. 17 pick in Thursday night's NBA draft - Holiday walked from the make-shift stage, spotted Sixers forward Andre Iguodala and walked over for a half-handshake, half-hug.

CHICAGO - How would North Carolina point guard Ty Lawson look in a 76ers jersey? Lawson's stock has dropped somewhat because of questions about his durability and his size (6 feet), so he could be available when the 76ers pick at No. 17 in the NBA draft June 25. Lawson said at the draft combine y...

By noreply@blogger.com (Greg Eno) When the number of NBA coaches who've been canned before Christmas starts to approach the number of teams Larry Brown has helmed, then you know something freakish is going on. 1. Eddie Jordan, Washington Wizards 2. Maurice Cheeks, Philadelphia 76ers 3. Sam Mitchell, Toronto Raptors 4. PJ Carlesimo, Oklahoma City Thunder 5. Randy Wittman, Minnesota T-Wolves 6. Theus, Sacramento So who'll be the next NBA coach to be unemployed? It's assumed that there'll be a moratorium until after the holidays, giving us some time to mull it over. My guess? Mike Dunleavy of the LA Clippers. His teams have been getting progressively worse over the past few seasons. Just a hunch.   [read the full post]

By dberri The last time the Philadelphia 76ers won an NBA championship the team’s point guard was Maurice Cheeks.  And as I noted a few months ago (see What Ever Happened to ”Fo’-Fi’-Fo’”?) only Moses Malone produced more wins for the Sixers during that championship season. Coaching Cheeks

A few months ago, the Sixers were a happy story -- the young team that almost slayed the Pistons, and then tacked on the best free agent of the bunch. Now? Well, I didn't even go looking, and today I came across two suggestions that Maurice Cheeks won't last long as head coach.

By David Friedman The 76ers posted the highest scoring average ever for an NBA champion and the third highest in league history (125.2 ppg). They ended the Celtics' record run of eight straight championships and in 1980 they were selected as the greatest team in NBA history. Wilt Chamberlain insisted that this was the most talented team he ever played on and, considering that he was flanked by two other Top 50 players (Hal Greer and Billy Cunningham) plus Chet Walker (who should be in the Hall of Fame) and Luke Jackson (a powerful inside player whose career was cut short by injury) it is hard to disagree. 9) 1970-71 Milwaukee Bucks (66-16; 12-2) 8) 1982-83 Philadelphia 76ers (65-17; 12-1) 7) 1988-89 Detroit Pistons (63-19; 15-2)   [read the full post]

Lakers guard Derek Fisher joins Mychal and Spero after the Lakers 106-101 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers!

By David Friedman Before the game, TNT analysts Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith critiqued Iverson's game by saying that even though he puts up decent assists numbers he does not really have a point guard mentality; they asserted that he compiles assists primarily because he has the ball so much but that he only passes out of necessity when all of his shooting options are exhausted. There is some validity to that point of view, although I think that it is more apt to say that about guys like Stephon Marbury and Steve Francis. While there is no doubt that Iverson has a shoot first mentality, he has also shown throughout his career that he is willing and able to not only pass out of necessity but to create scoring opportunities for his teammates provided that they ar...   [read the full post]
