--Coach Maurice Cheeks and guard Willie Green wouldn't publicly identify the Sixers' top offseason need areas, but veteran guard Andre Miller had no problem spelling them out.

"I think everybody -- the fans and the media -- everybody knows kind of what the team needs -- maybe another big man, another wing player (who can shoot)," Miller said.

--The Sixers own the 16th pick in the June 26 draft. Barring a trade, that'll be their only selection because they dealt their second-rounder to the Jazz in order to land a 2005 second-round choice.

QUOTE TO NOTE
"I think I got a few years left in me. I'm not that old. I definitely can get up and down the court. I've always taken care of my body and stayed healthy throughout my career -- knock on wood I don't fall down the steps or anything." -- G Andre Miller, 32, when asked if he can play another season at his 2007-08 level.

Okay maybe I'm being a little dramatic but they are beating teams who nobody would have dreamed of with line-up we have but the young guys are stepping up and playing ridiculously well. We beat the Piston, Suns, Spurs, Bulls ...(more)

1) why do the Jazz own our second round pick?  Did we include that in the Kyle Korver trade?

2) I really really think we should throw buckets of cash at Josh Smith.  He is a stud t ...(more)

What are some of your ideas for fixing the Sixers for next year? Would you get a power forward and bench Evans and Young? Would you try trading either player with a draft pick for a dependable veteran? What to do with Jason Smith and S. Randolph? Is it time to say thanks and good-bye to ...(more)

 I can see that sman1965 bothers almost every team on their message board. While trash talking is fun, just seeing this guys posts makes me fell like I am back in the 3rd grade.

I am proposing a boycott of any thread he starts, and to any posts he makes on other threads as well...

Maybe he will start to talk smart sports conversation or maybe he will jus ...(more)

I'd just like to say that the Sixers had a helluva series, props to the young guys.

After game 3 i was scared, because we just had no answers for you guys. Then in game 4 we started doing to you what you were doing to us, and it worked. Keep it up, and I hope we don't play you guys next year cuz you'll only get better.

We took a predicted 20 win team and doubled it to 40 wins and getting the 7th seed in the playoffs, which no one expected us to do. On top of that we managed to win 2 games against one of the top 5 teams in the league in the playoffs. If you compare our team with the Suns Nugget ...(more)

This is why I said game 2 was a must win for Detroit. The Sixers are up 2-1 we have home court, and this is the real Piston team. They aren't sleeping, you could see it in the eyes of Sheed and Billups, They are shocked. It's not like they are amused. Game 4 is a Pistons must win because if we win Game 4 there is no way we lose ...(more)

Watching the sixers and the playoffs has been pretty encouraging for the future of philly basketball.  Our stregnths and weaknesses are pretty obvious, a young athletic low post force to add to this team.  Move Iggy to the 2, Thad to the 3 and sign a free agent this year...

Antione Jamison?

That was a stink bomb last night...

I gotta ask since that was only the 4th game I have seen all year on TV (i'm in florida and invested in the flyers (hockey package) over the basketball package)...have the sixers had any half court game whatsoever this year? if so who?

i know they can run...but man what's the plan

does it all rely on Iggy?

I wish I was in Philly to buy the gas for D sixers ,but I will still cheer for and hope they win this series. I think Mo and the tea has a little luck now and I wish it last for another round because it has been awhile since we had something to celebrate about BBall in Philly.

Has anyone noticed how weak Sam Dalembert has been playing lately? All he wants to do is shoot 15 ft jumpers as if he is the 2nd coming of Chris Webber. The 76ers need a strong presence in the post from their center position if they are going to make the playoffs. Other th ...(more)
