PR2011: Everyone Else

PR 2011: Spencer Hawes

Hawes had one 10 game stretch this year where he looked like a quality NBA player. Then everything returned to normal. I don’t mean to completely insult Hawes; he’s not the worst player in the NBA,…Read More

The Wednesday Showdown, 3-9-11

SNS: Wrong on Thaddeus Young

  I’ve been meaning to write this post for the last month or so, but I didn’t feel that I could give the post justice without having a good amount of time to write it. So after the jump:…Read More

The Difference

This whole Detroit Pistons thing – which, by the way, would leave the team with like 6 players tonight if none of the holdouts played – reminded me of where the 76ers franchise was a year ago.…Read More

Stagnation Isn’t Improvement
