NBA

Philadelphia has lost 27 straight games dating to last season, and unless the Sixers can find a way to shoot better, they'll likely extend that streak tonight . They were just 5-for-22 in the first quarter and trail the Grizzlies 21-13.......

things not looking up either...

It's pretty shitty bein a philly fan this year... There's usually at least 1 team doin good out of 4.. There all bottom dwellers this year.. Definitely a sports year I'd like to erase from my memory in the future. it's that year all philly fans will look back on as the lowest of the low! It is what it is, I still cheer on my losers.. I got flyers tickets for $13 a pop the other night, than they got shut out by San Jose lol

Sixers stink. 8-53


The Hornets became the latest team to top 100 points against the 76ers, reaching that mark with 5:26 left. The Sixers have allowed 100-plus in nine straight games and more than 120 points four times during that span.

No wonder they are the worst team in the NBA. The Sixers have lost 10 consecutive games and 14 of 15 overall.

Actually things are looking up for all four teams. Phillies are loaded with top 100 prospects in MLB including several in the top 10. As far as payroll only the Dodgers can outspend the Phillies in that National League. I think they are willing to go $175-180 million as the team improves and they want to add free agents. They will definitely outspend everyone in the NL East when the time comes. Within 3 years the Phillies will be contending for the pennant and winning at least 90 games a season.

The Eagles have some really good defensive players they are building around. Fletcher Cox is one of the best defensive tackles in the NFL. They are still a few years away and have to have two really good drafts to get the team back to a contender. Bradford is still a question mark even though they signed him for two more years. The division is so weak it's not going to take much to become a playoff team again.

The Sixers own the 2016 draft in the NBA. They have three first rounders now one being their own. Even with the ping pong balls they will pick no worse than fourth with their pick with an excellent chance to pick first or second or third. They also have Miami's and OKC's pick. If the Lakers end up in the fourth slot they get the pick as it will no longer be protected. Saric is supposed to come over from Europe to play for the Sixers in the 2016-2017 season. The big question is can Embiid stay healthy. Okafor has hit a wall, is currently injured and Noel has been a bit erratic lately. Things are looking up and they will have the money to sign any number of free agents if they can convince them to come to Philly. They are not dipping into the FA pool for next season but I think they will be major players the following season if they have a good draft.

Finally the Flyers. They are heading in the right direction. Hextall has done a great job stocking the minors with guys ready to play next season. The "Ghost" looks like the real deal. Dave Hakstol has the team playing much better. I think all the teams have bottomed out and the future looks bright. I think three years from now all four teams will be in the playoffs.

I feel the same way...thanks for your write up.....I can tell that you are a lifetime Philly fan and not jumping on and off the bandwagon...
Can't wait for the Phillies to be good again...and good times ahead for the Sixers...
