This is not smoke and mirrors people, they are for real. The east is shaking in their boots and if they're not, they better be.

Detroit tonight
Detroit comes to Philly should be a closely contested ball game. The 76ers are already in the playoffs but with a strong push have an opportunity to have the first series be at home in Philly. With a win tonight that could give them the right mind set to accomplish that task. Who would have thought that at all possible?

Lebron hurt
With LeBron James hurt there is a possibility since they have already made the playoffs that the Cleveland Cavaliers sit him until the playoffs. If they do and the 76ers get even hotter than they already are, it is a good opportunity to swoop into the fourth seed. I can dream right?
Monday, April 7, 2008
Off until Wednesday
Off until Wednesday where they play the Pistons.

A win tonight seals the deal
With a win tonight over the Atlanta Hawks, the 76ers will have found themselves a spot in the playoffs. The eastern teams are shaking in fear them may have to face the scorching hot 76ers in the first round. Tonight is the first game in a home and home, this one in Atlanta, tomorrow Atlanta comes to Philly.

Nice win against the Nets last night
They are proving they deserve to be a playoff team. They all but wrapped up a playoff spot with last nights win against the New Jersey Nets. If they can finish off their season very strong and theres no reason to think they can't they have have a schedule they can almost run the table with, they can finish has high as fourth. I would love to see the 76ers first round playoff opponents to be either Cleveland, yes you read that right, or Orlando. both of those teams do not want to play the 76ers in the first round I can guarantee you that. With the 76ers torrid second half there have been some quiet whispers for Maurice Cheeks to win Coach of the year. I could get behind that and no not just because I'm a homer, he's done a great job with a cast not many people know about including myself.

New Jersey tonight
If my math is correct, with a 76ers victory tonight against the Nets, the 76ers will have secured themselves a playoff spot.
Go 76ers!

Back to 500
Two losses in a rwo drop them to seventh. I would feel much better with them in the sixth seed playing Orlando in the first round rather than 7th and playing Detroit.
Friday, March 28, 2008
Pheonix Suns come into town
Tough Challenge tonight at home against Shaq and the Suns. Are they up to the challenge? We will see, I can guarantee that it will be competitive, and that's all I ask for.
Thursday, March 27, 2008
I like the way they're playing
Not many teams want to face them in the first round.
Friday, March 21, 2008
Where amazing happens
Lets hope they can keep this momentum going with a win over Orlando tonight!

Iverson comes home and leaves a loser
Nice applause to welcome him back, and love the kiss on the logo, but love even more they send him home a loser.

AI comes home
Nice win against the Spurs the other night, tonight Iverson comes home, I hope they send him out a loser. Did you see the nuggets game the other night when they put over 160 points? Lets hope that doesn't happen tonight.
Thursday, March 13, 2008
Nice win last night
Nice win against the Pistons last night. I'm sure teams are not wanting to play them in the first round of the playoffs. 76ers could be a spoiler.

Piston's Tonight
Another tough game tonight against the Detroit Pistons. Can they be competitive? It will be a difficult test tonight, but I think they might be able to rebound after that bad loss to the Celtics. I know this is a big if, but the other night against the Celtics, the 76ers had a horrid start getting behind 15-0 and then played even with them the rest of the game.
They are going to need to avoid another bad start like that to have a chance tonight.
Tuesday, March 11, 2008
Garnett lights it up
The 76ers had no answer for Kevin Garnett and the Boston Celtics. It doesn't get any easier as the 76ers face the Piston's on Wednesday.
Monday, March 10, 2008
Boston Celtics Tonight
The 76ers put their four game winning streak on the line tonight against the best in the NBA, the Boston Celtics. The 76ers have been taking care of business against the weaker teams in the league and during their really hot stretch as of late has even played the good teams tough including a win over Nash, Shaq and the Suns.
Can they keep it close tonight? Can they keep their hot streak going. It will be a good test.
Friday, March 7, 2008
Seattle Supersonics tonight
They're playing tough and there's no reason to think that it won't continue tonight against the Supersonics. They are a game and a half behind the Washington Wizards and the number six seed. I can't believe I just wrote that. who would have thought they would be playing this well. Not me. I hope they can keep it up.

They keep on playing well
Two nice wins in a row against Phoenix and the Clippers. They appear like they aren't going anywhere. they are playing really good ball let's hope they can keep it up.
They are off until Friday when they play the Supersonics in Philly.

76ers destroy Magic
A very nice and convincing win against the Orlando Magic. So the answer to my question yesterday about them being able to figure out the magic is yes the can. With that win the 76ers jump into the 7th seed and are inches behind the sixth seed and facing this Magic team in the playoffs, I know there is still plenty of time for that but they are looking really good and proving there success of late is not a fluke. Willie Green and Andre Miller tied the game high with 26 points and Andre Iguodala was close behind with 24.
Also I was watching ESPN to check out the highlights of this game and there was some women I have never seen before doing the highlights and providing analysis, I didn't catch her name, I think she might be a girl from the WNBA and if she is she shouldn't quit her day job because she was awful. She called Iguodala Ilgauskas, she said the 76ers have won seven in a row, and said they don't even have a chance for the playoffs when they are currently sitting 7th
whoever she is, they should not ever have her back on the air.

Orlando Magic tonight
Even though Philly has had one of the best records in February 7-4 two of those losses have been to this Magic team. Can they figure them out tonight? It's a home game before a tough west coast road trip.

Still looking not bad
This weekend was pretty much as I expected, a blowout loss by the Magic and a win against the Heat. Next game is Wednesday again the Magic again. Then a tough West Coast road trip against the Warriors, Suns and Clippers. The good thing is they are playing very competitive basketball so those should be good close games. That Golden State game should be a shoot out.
Friday, February 22, 2008
I had no idea
That the 76ers were sitting in the eighth spot right now. If the season ended today they would make the playoffs. They would have to play the Celtics but at least they are a playoff team right now! So that's good. Can they give the Magic a good game tonight?
Thursday, February 21, 2008
Nice win last night
That's the way you take care of the crap teams in the league, you blow em out by 40 points. The 76ers may not be the best team in the league but when they show that they can handle the crappy teams like that it shows that they are definitely improving. Great way to show that they approve of Maurice Cheeks getting a contract extension yesterday.
Next game is Friday against the Magic in Orlando. Last time they played a few weeks ago I said the 76ers would be blown out and they made it a real close game, can they do the same Friday?
Wednesday, February 20, 2008
Damn that all-star break
I knew it would screw up the momentum they had going into it. The 76ers suffered a defeat from the hands of a poor Minesita Timberowlves team. The 76ers got outscored in every quarter and ultimately lost by 16 points 104-88. Iguodala was the top scorer for the 76ers netting 17 points.
Lets see if they can rebound against an terrible New York Knicks team who are in last place in the East.
Tuesday, February 19, 2008
76ers vs. Timberwolvews tonight
Can they continue on their hot streak that was put on hold by the all-star break? They are on a five game win streak and hope to keep it going against the Minnesota Timberwolves tonight.

Sixers beat Mavericks
I din't think there was a chance in hell, but I was wrong. Their win streak in now up to 4 games in a row.
Highlights of last nights game.
It is now the all-star break so the enxt games is not until next Tuesday. Of course, they are as hot as they've been all season and now the break comes. Well atleast wehn the come back their first game is against the Timberwolves a game that should be very competitive for the 76ers.

After three wins in a row, they face a tough challenge tonight
They have been playing really well the past week, winning three in a row. However tonight they play a very tough Dallas team and Dirk Nowitzki. The only question is will they continue to play tough for 48 minutes?
Highlights of Saturdays game against the Clippers.
Thursday, February 7, 2008
Two in a row?
They should be able to get 2 in a row since they play the lowly Heat without Shaq as he is now a Sun, but I hate to assume anything especially with this Sixers team. The game is at home where ten of their 19 wins have come, so my prediction is that they will pull out a win tonight.

Philly loses to Atlanta
What can they do tonight against the Wizards?
With a strong 4th quarter, the 76ers pulled out an upset win over the Wizards by 5 points 101-96. They outscored the Wizards by 15 in the final frame. AI, Andre Iguodala led the way for the Sixers and scored a game high 20 points.
Highlights of this game coming soon.
Monday, February 4, 2008
They put up a fight
Even in a loss the other night to the Orlando Magic, I am impressed that they put up a fight. I thought they would have rolled over and gotten wupped. Instead they took it to them and lost by only two points. Keep up the hard work guys.
Here's a little AI for you.
Friday, February 1, 2008
3 in a row?
Probably not against the very talented Orlando Magic. Yes its a home game but I think it will be too much for them to handle. They will not be able to handle Dwight Howard and all he brings to the table.

Wow 2 in a row
and they crushed the Bucks by 43. Who cares the Bucs aren't any good, a win is a win.

Rocky rules!
I have been posting Rocky videos on all of my Philly sports teams blogs today, maybe it has something to do with Rambo opening tomorrow. This one seems very appropriate for the 76ers.

Pat Croce coming back?
I know this rumor isn't true, but sometimes these things get spread around and if enough people start to comment on it, it may happen. So I am willing the 76ers to somehow get Pat Croce to come back. That man has such energy and spirit that it will have a positive impact on the team.
So everyone, help me out and start spreading this rumor.

My friends site, a great resource
My old roomate has this great site about the NBA draft. I know where miles away from that as we are midway thorught the season, but it is a great site and he is usually right on the money. He really knows what he's talking about when it comes to basketball.
NBA Draft.
