Philadelphia 76ers

IN THE DAYS immediately following the conclusion of the 76ers' season, I forgot to mention that . . .

LOS ANGELES - Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers waited until the third quarter to get going last night. Once they did, the San Antonio Spurs couldn't stop them.

Kobe Bryant scored all but two of his 27 points after halftime, including a go-ahead, 10-foot jumper in the lane with 23.9 seconds remaining, and the Los Angeles Lakers rallied from a 20-point deficit to beat the visiting San Antonio Spurs, 89-85, last night in Game 1 of the Western Conference finals.

There should be plenty of free-agent options, but a trade might be the Sixers' best bet.

Thaddeus Young earned NBA All-Rookie second-team honors for the 2007-08 season. He received four first-team votes and 23 total points to finish eighth in the balloting, which was announced yesterday.

Ed Stefanski doesn't see extending veteran Andre Miller's contract as a priority.

Pistons crush 76ers in Game 6 to reach second round

Down 3-2 in their best of seven series with the Detroit Pistons, the Philadelphia 76ers still have life as they head into Game 6 at the Wachovia Center on May 1.

The Pistons won a 98-81 decision over the 76ers on Tuesday to take a 3-2 lead in the first-round series.

You’ve heard of the phrase, “Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.” Well, that is the theme of the day here. The Sixers enter the offseason in position to make some moves, but the competition never rests. The draft lottery convened in New Jersey on this Tuesday in May. The Sixers were [...]

Watching these NBA playoffs has changed my offseason outlook for the Sixers. They finished the season with a nice upside and find themselves in position to make some serious noise this summer. While that doesn’t include the draft lottery, it does involve some cap room, a young nucleus in contract negotiations and the [...]

What a game! It was another epic Game Seven of LeBron James career. The Celtics hosted the Cavaliers and survived to face the Pistons in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Philadelphia fans get a bad rap. I've been a Sixer season ticketholder for 10+ years, and have never even heard one racial slur. Who knows, if Obama wins the Presidency, instead of Philly being known as the City that...

Andre Miller is a player. There's no disputing that, but I disagree with Tom Moore's Sunday sentiments that Mister Ed Stefanski is missing the boat on him. Miller is not irrelaceable, and watching Rodney Stuckey's performance filling in for...

Is it me, or does Ed Stefanski talk a lot more than the average GM? Ed gives more interviews in one day than Billy King does in a year. In fact Ed talks so much, he reminds me of...
