It came a game later than I had hoped, but the new-look Sixers were in full effect tonight. Elton Brand looked like a man among boys, he poured in 24 points on 12/19 from the floor, yanked down 14 boards...
Losing to the Raptors on opening night was a disappointment, but you can live with it. The Raptors are a good team, they made a major addition, and honestly, the Sixers didn't play a clean game. Under those circumstances, you'd...
At 4:15 this Sunday the Eagles will look to continue their winning ways in Seattle, against a team that isn't very good when healthy, and comes into the game reeling from a string of injuries. After the jump we'll...
You got Elton Brand to be a low-post banger, right? How about you use him in the post.Here is Elton's shot chart from tonight's game:Three of his shots were misses from point blank range, the rest were from outside the...
Time for a rant. Does anyone remember a couple of years ago when the NBA passed down an edict to the refs that they should make complaining about calls a "point of emphasis?" Think hard, because it lasted about...

I'm not going to be so bold (and moronic) as to say the Sixers first game of the season tonight against the Raptors is a must-win. I will, however, say that I think it's crucial for this team to get...
And finally we get to the most-important division in the league, the Atlantic. The champs loom large, but two other teams made big moves and one cellar-dweller made a necessary move. I expect this division to send three teams...
The Southeast Division is kind of an afterthought when you're breaking down the league. It's got the best young big in the East, the most-entertaining guard in the league, an up-and-coming team that pushed Boston to seven games in...
The Central is what I consider the most boring division in the league. The separation of the top two teams in the league from the rest will be large. This division has the best player in the universe, a...
