Painful end, but an exciting season for a diehard fan 

Post#1 » by tk76 » Fri May 2, 2008 2:58 am

Enjoyed following this team's roller coaster season with y'all. Can't remember a year where my expectations and perception of the team changed so much over the course of the season. Even the playoffs dramatically changed my view of some of the players for better or worse(AIG.)

Am looking forward to this team moving in the right direction with their rebuild, and the draft, FA and even Summer League should be entertaining.

Overall, more ups than downs this year, and props to everyone who stuck with this team all the way from last year's draft, through the Summer League and horrid start, through the surprising rise to the playoffs.

Some seriously die hard fans here. Don't always agree with what is said, but the discourse has made this season more enjoyable. Thanks, and have a good summer.

This team helped the city remember that we have a professional basketball franchise. It was a rare treat to be able to watch the home crowds grow larger from game to game as this team came into their own. Even though there are no more games, there should still be plenty of excitement in sixer land this offseason.

I'm happy for this team. They are ahead of schedule of what we had planned. We weren't even supposed to make the playoffs, but we did and we gave the Pistons a scare. A good season to be a Sixers fan.
