76ers 

Game 7 didn't turn out like Sixers fans hoped. Too many turnovers, poor shot selection, etc. But, those are signs of a young team.

In the spirit of all great sports fans, we wish the Boston Celtics the best from here on out.

This Philly squad played good defense and never gave up. With whatever roster changes are coming, the new ownership group has their heart in the right place and that gives me great confidence that better days should be ahead.

At the beginning of the season, I had predicted a run for the Sixers that would last at least two playoff rounds. I offered that comment based upon Doug Collins strong leadership and the spirit within his team.

To fall one game short of that predicted goal leaves me satisfied on a purely gut-level. On an infinitely more important plane, is how happy I am to see the great game of basketball moving to its rightful spot in the city of Philadelphia. That spot is directly within the consciousness of the other three professional sports teams and their fans.

Onto next season. Go Sixers!!!

76ers 

Game 7. For all who believed, keep believing.

As to whether Doug Collins' guys can knock off the Celtics...who knows. But, what a story it will be if they can actually do it tonight.


Phillies

So, Cliff Lee and Shane Victorino got into in the dugout last night. While they didn't come to blows, their mutual moxie revealed a turbulent undercurrent that exists in this year's team.

Lee signed a long-term deal expecting to have a shot at multiple World Series titles. Victorino is in the last year of his deal and might not last the season, depending upon how the schedule plays out.

Both men still have the on-field fight in them and that's what matters most.

Phillies

Can Chase Utley play in the infield for any stretch of time this season after he returns?

Some of the Philly sports writers have wondered if he might be better in left field - with thoughts about Chipper Jones outfield venture with the Atlanta Braves.

It might not happen, but it's an interesting thought.

Phillies

How about that 'Chooch' in the cleanup spot. Who would have 'thunk' it all those years ago.

Well, Carlos Ruiz believes in himself and that's how everything great happens. One person using their talent and free will to succeed.

No matter where this season takes Ruiz, he is as much a part of this great era as anyone.

76ers 

How great a victory tonight would be. Can it happen? Well, this team has surprised us before.

Best of luck to Doug Collins and the guys, no matter what happens.


Phillies
A team that is adrift for sure. After winning six straight, they lose four in a row.

Keep an eye on how they continue to do against these plus-.500 teams. Ruben Amaro, Jr. will, that's for sure.

AS ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED ON 2/1/12.....Before they beat the Bulls in the first playoff round and before the current Celtics postseason matchup.


76ers 

There were those who said the Doug Collins-led Sixers team was good. But, when they faced the better teams, they would fall.

That seemed logical. But, it was also a reliance on who the team had been in the past. It did not represent a view of who the group might become, or who they are right now.

Their win over the Eastern Conference leading Chicago Bulls was no fluke. This is a sound defensive team, with spirit. Their coach is a one of the best in the League. Period.

If all of their key people remain fully healthy in this shortened season, this young team will win more than 40 games and could win at least two playoff rounds.

That old 76ers theme song is playing louder and louder and louder and louder as every week passes.

One, two, three, four, five...."Clap your hands everybody for the Philadelphia 76ers..."

Sixers

What a great win the other night!

Few would have expected this team to be leading a first-round playoff series against the Bulls.

More than just Chicago injuries, Doug Collins spirit is driving this team. No matter what happens in the series, kudos to everyone on this Philadelphia team that has heart.


Flyers

This Flyers team must score more than the Devils in Game 4.
If they don't, their trip back home might be the last before many to the Jersey shore.
----->>>>Okay, that's a bad play on words, but you get the point.


Here is a hockey story that all ice fans will like: The mystery behind these 1970s Topps hockey cards is revealed.


Phillies
The Phillies are flying way under the radar due to the Flyers and Sixers playoff games.

Eventually, this team will be in the town's cross hairs in potentially more ways than one.


Baseball cards

For those of us who are old enough to remember When Baseball Cards were King, the spring is always a special time of year.

Bygone days spent with elementary school days and family members opening packs of Topps cardboard gold never truly fade away.
