Philadelphia 76ers: Players Want Michael Curry As Coach, Should Management Listen?
There are many head coaching vacancies in the NBA this offseason. One of those is in the city of Philadelphia at one of the most storied franchises in the league. With Doug Collins gone, the media have thrown names like Brian Shaw, Mike Malone and Jeff Hornacek into the proverbial sweepstakes to become the new Philadelphia 76ers head coach. However, Jrue Holiday has made it clear who he wants to take over: assistant coach Michael Curry. Holiday is not alone. Evan Turner also supported a Michael Curry promotion, saying: ”We really...

A team that is going through the ‘rebuilding process’ must acquire talent either two ways: via free agency or building through the draft. The Philadelphia 76ers are certainly a team in need of a rebuild. After the trade for Andrew Bynum backfiring and leaving the Sixers very short-handed in the 2012-13 NBA season, the onus is on Philadelphia to try and turn it around and acquire some talent via both free agency and the draft. The first of these events is the draft, so let’s look at some of the players that the...

The NBA Draft: Where busts happen. When picking a player in the draft, a lot needs to be taken into consideration–not just a players basketball skill, but his intangibles and whether he is a good fit for the roster. Draft picks can go wrong, draft picks can go right. Few franchises know this as well as the Philadelphia 76ers. Here’s the Sixers’ five best and worst draft picks, ever. Best Notable omissions: Billy Cunningham and Doug Collins 5. Jrue Holiday – 17th in the 2009 NBA Draft A shining light in an otherwise...

The Philadelphia 76ers are one of the more storied franchises in NBA history. They have had some of the greatest-ever players–the likes of Moses Malone, Wilt Chamberlain and Allen Iverson all spring to mind. Let’s take a look at the five worst trades in franchise history. 5. The Andrew Bynum trade Los Angeles Lakers Received: Dwight Howard, Chris Duhon and Earl Clark Orlando Magic Received: Nikola Vucevic, Moe Harkless, a Sixers’ future first-round pick, Christian Eyenga, Josh McRoberts, the Lakers’ 2017 first-round...
read morePhiladelphia 76ers: Reflecting On Doug Collins’ Tenure As Coach
Despite having one year left on his contract, Philadelphia 76ers coach Doug Collins has stepped down from his post. The former Sixers player will remain in an advisory role — signing a deal for five years. Collins — while not landing a championship — did give Sixers fans some great nights following the team, most notably the series win in the 2012 playoffs against Chicago. Regardless of Derrick Rose’s absence, it was still a great achievement and was the first time the Sixers made it past the first round since 2003. Hired...

It is fair to say that it has been a largely forgettable season for Philadelphia. In a nutshell: It’s been pretty horrific viewing for fans of the Philly franchise. Not only were the Sixers without All-Star center Andrew Bynum, but they played boring, inefficient basketball based on long 2-pointers and an inability to get to the foul line. With that being said, let’s grade each players individual performances over the season. Lavoy Allen: D+ For the 50th pick out of Temple, Lavoy Allen garnered some recognition for somewhat nullifying Kevin...
read moreNBA: Ranking the 10 Worst Shooting Guards in the NBA
Today teams in the NBA are constructed carefully and tactfully. Ranking the best shooting guards in the league is no easy task. Some of these players are not full-time starters and are filling in due to injuries. Other teams have great point guards and do not need a backcourt partner next to them that is better than average. Without further ado, these are the 1o worst starting shooting guards in the NBA today. 10. Rodney Stuckey, Detroit Pistons On Wednesday, April 10, the Pistons were without Jose Calderon. They made do and actually won the...

Good news for the fans of the Philadelphia 76ers: The 2012-13 season is almost over. It has not been an easy one to watch for Philly fans, but it makes this offseason all the more important. There are many big decisions that face the front office of the Sixers — most notably involving Andrew Bynum — but not everything is about the former Los Angeles Laker. Evan Turner‘s name has been thrown around in trade rumors for a while now and it seems as if the former Ohio State Buckeye has reached a crossroads in his career....

The Philadelphia 76ers (30-44), Chicago Bulls (40-33) and Washington Wizards (28-47) are each averaging a league-worst 92.9 points per game this season, but that unremarkable scoring production has produced varying results for each team. The Bulls, seeded sixth in the Eastern Conference, still have a chance at gaining home-court advantage in the playoffs. The 76ers, on the other hand, are on the verge of being eliminated from playoff contention, occupy the ninth spot and will try their luck at the NBA Draft Lottery in May. The Wizards,...
read moreNBA: One Player Each Team Can’t Do Without
The phrase “franchise player” gets thrown around a lot. Teams usually have a player that encapsulates what the franchise is about. They help sell tickets, bring in new fans and most importantly — win games. Let’s look at one player each team in the NBA couldn’t manage without. Atlanta Hawks: Al Horford Al Horford is a very underrated player. A very skilled big man, Horford doesn’t get the attention of frontcourt mate Josh Smith — perhaps due to J-Smoove’s dunks — but he is definitely more of an elite performer....
