76ers 

Okay, so the headline to this post was intentionally melodramatic. You get the point.

Here's this team full of young, mostly unknown players (and Elton Brand) getting ready to face the Miami Heat.

You know them: LeBron James, Chris Bosh, Dwyane Wade, etc.

Both teams lead their respective divisions with the same 16-6 record.

Doug Collins has gotten his team where they are through good coaching.

Erik Spoelstra's team got where it is mostly because of $, which is the root of all evil...thus the title for today's post.

With whoever wins tonight's matchup, it's great to see proof that there still is more than one path to success in life.

There's still time to get on board the Philadelphia 76ers train!

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 and Flyers notes

Sixers


Doug Collins has his guys playing the game the right way. While the Sixers lost to the Nuggets at home was a close one, fans are right to remain encouraged that better days are ahead for their b-ball team.

As time moves forward (as in the next few seasons) all this team needs is a star to make them a true contender.

Flyers

The Flyers host the Islanders tonight in what seems like an endless series of dull in-season matchups with that particular squad. No matter how this game turns out, the New Yorkers are once again out of the running for the playoffs and don't offer fans a reason to go see this game, to watch it on tv, or to listen to it on the radio/online.


Are the Islanders ever going to be competitive?

Doug Collins and the Coming Sixers Revolution

Sixers

Philadelphia's basketball team has rarely been in the news since AI left. Their last real noteworthy season was when they went to the Finals against the Lakers in 2001.

Now that Doug Collins is working his old magic again, expect some very intriguing court action this season and the potential for a lot more than that in the future.

I'm a believer.
