I hope not. The Sixers are so boring to watch, and their future is treadmill-like. They aren't much better than the Bobcats are currently. They just have a unit of Jrue Holiday, Evan Turner, Thaddeus Young, & Spencer Hawes that have more chemistry than the 'Cats because they've been together for 3 years or so. Not to mention a experience & renowned coach in Doug Collins.


Sixers fan here. First of all, a very enjoyable game last night...and you guys should be pretty excited about the direction the team is going. First of all, Dunlop has your guys playing HARD. Talor looks legit as well as MKG. Put Biz on the Sixers and they are looking at homecourt in the 1st round - that is how EPIC FAIL our bigs are. Obviously, if Bynum comes back, we are a dramatically different team...but who know when/if that happens. Both Jrue and Turner have taken the next step...but without an impact big, they will be 1st/2nd round playoff fodder.

Good luck!

but ideally, we still have lots of pieces to add. thats where our future could be much brighter. of course the sixers future is tied to bynum and that could also pay off.

i dont think the sixers are boring though.


I'm from Philly, still currently live there, hence the 215, and I can tell you firsthand that they are very boring. Andrew Bynum is damaged goods and may not play a game in a Sixers uniform this year, nevertheless ever, because he's a free agent this upcoming offseason.

Because Mullens was constantly out of position or losing his responsibility, MKG and Sessions had to either cheat into the paint in anticipation of another run at the rim or try to collapse on the ball earlier than normal. Philly picked us apart with it.

just watched the game, won't go for a long comment, however, kudos to:

Biz for having an impressive game on the offensive end. It was good to see team-mates trusting him and actually passing him the ball. We could increase his touches, although there are games where his hands still look terrible.

Is Taylor amazing or what!? He's playing like a veteran. Dude knows how to play the game and what are his strong suits. Could he end up being a Nicolas Batum type of player? The thing that is going for Viking is that this is absolutely the right era for him, every team would love to have a swingman who has length, can play great defense, can guard his man one on one, can make the long-range shots, can run and can attack the basket.

If you were wondering why the fans were cheering for the three Kemba made with about two seconds left in the game:

Reminds me of Chandler Parsons. Look what he's becoming!
investigate Adam Silver
