Sixers fans like to boo. As seen here – credit to Sixers4Guidos for the picutre.

Philly.com came up with the not-all-that original-but-still-effective idea of polling the general public for their thoughts about the Sixers. The poll was pretty simple: vote either “stay” or “go”. Writers from the Daily News and Inquirer (both daily Philadelphia newspapers) then chimed in about the results.

The whole idea was fairly unscientific – after all, nothing was mentioned about the ability to re-sign players or their contract situations, which, more likely than not, will be the determining factors for whether a player will remain on the roster. So in other words, this is no different, to me, than someone’s approval rating. The polling only tells us the basics – which player are liked by the fans and which ones are not.

The results don’t necessarily have a correlation between talent and staying power – in fact, more people want Spencer Hawes to stay than to go, whereas the results for other, better players are substantially worse (hint: see the title).

What can we learn from this poll, then, if it doesn’t assess any sort of situation? Well, if you care about Philly fan sentiments, quite a lot.

]]> Yeah, I know this is late. Final projects and such have gotten in the way of my writing here. But now, 4 days later, I’ll look at the Sixers game 4 performance, and comment, like many others have, about the late jumper from Andre Iguodala which sealed the Miami Heat’s victory.

First off, I have to attach the highlights here. Fast forward about 2 minutes into the video to get to the point of discussion.
