Posted on 17 Jul 2010 by Mike Santa Barbara.
The Sixers may have benefited from a short lived buzz due to the drafting of Evan Turner, the work is not finished. In all reality, the work may not be finished before the start of the 2010/11 campaign. The Sixers have reached the proverbial “fork in the road.” It’s where decisions must be made, like it or not. Mainly, the Sixers must figure out which direction they want this team ...

Posted on 7 Apr 2010 by Mike Santa Barbara.
After Tuesday nights double-digit loss to the Pistons, Eddie Jordan did something he hasn't done all season long. He named names.

After Monday's shoot around in preparation for the nights contest against the Orlando Magic, Andre Iguodala revealed an injury.

Posted on 22 Mar 2010 by Mike Santa Barbara.
Now, I’d never wish for any Philly team to lose games on purpose. Nor would I deem it acceptable from any other franchise in any other sport for any reason at all.Though, Today I’m saying the Sixers should lose out the rest of the way. I’m not saying they should do it on purpose, they’ve been doing a good job all year losing by themselves. All I’m saying is, keep your pride in check...

Just Another Sixers Rant
Posted on 17 Mar 2010 by Mike Santa Barbara.

Posted on 12 Mar 2010 by Mike Santa Barbara.
The question isn't whether Eddie Jordan will be fired. The question is when. And believe me, the timing of his foreshadowed firing is very important. Firing Jordan now will force the Sixers to name an interim coach, as they did last season with assistant Tony DiLeo. And with only 18 games left in a season heading nowhere, the duties of said interim coach wouldn't be difficult at all. Most li...

If you went by the comments of some of the players, signs would point to no. Though, if you ...
