Watching the 87ers play today in the D league showcase.

Found this tidbit from Jonathan Givony of DX funny:

"Jonathan Givony @DraftExpress
Sitting courtside, two quarters in, still waiting for supposed point guard Lorenzo Brown to utter his first words on either end of the floor
ExpandReplyRetweetFavorite"


He doesn't look that bad, but pretty funny/sad that someone observed that

Moultrie said that hopefully he can make his debut Wednesday against the Bobcats.

That's good news. I'm sick of terrible lavoy and Davies. I don't have high hopes for Moultrie, and I'm sure there's gonna be rust and his conditioning could be behind the rest of the pack.....but at least he has some upside if he's coached right and puts some of it together. If only you could put Davies' motor into Moultrie.....then he'd have some serious upside lol.

Interesting to see if Davies gets cut when Arnett comes back or if he just simply replaces Orton instead. Also want to see if Brown and Hinkie see him as a C or PF.

They would have just waived him, would show a lack of foresight if we were to cut him a week after being allowed to waive him lol. Davies is here for the rest of the season I would imagine, barring a trade.

NBA logos redesigned as crests, here's the Sixers...

Kind of basic, but I like the simplicity.

We win this a surprising amount, or at least I do, send me to the lottery!

I like that Lottery simulator, in my first try, the celtics win the lottery and select Parker, Sixers are 2nd and 11th and pick Wiggins and WCS, Milwaukee falls to fourth haha. Would love that!

As for Davies, I know it wouldn't make sense to waive him now, it's just hard to accept we are keepin this bum for the rest of the season xD. I guess we need some awful players and he's good for the locker room and stuff but still, he's absolutely terrible on the court. See no potential or future in him as an NBA player past this season.

The sixers crest looks a bit like Stoke city.

Moultrie supposedly making his return in our next game Wednesday against Charlotte, I'm stoked.

We'll probably win that game though, it's the 2nd night of a b2b for Charlotte. Will be interesting to see how he does! Happy he's back.

You're the first person I have heard complain about the blues. I mean, I prefer the reds over the blues, but still don't mind them. I think our home white is the best overall.

i love the sixers current uniforms.

nice and bright and fresh with the red, white, and blue.


God I had gotten so sick of the previous style "late 90's Iverson era" jerseys. They just looked so incredibly outdated and lame towards the end

Manny Harris just dropped 40+ for the 2nd time in D league. Why aren't we bringing up a kid like that, or Ebanks over crumby ass Lorenzo brown and Davies?

Is it definite that Moultrie is playing tomorrow? Really interested to see him play without Collins
