Here is a portion of my weekly column:
The Sixers’ 20-point loss to the Heat on Friday, two days after beating the conference-leading Bulls by 16, was another example of why Miami must be avoided for as long as possible.
The Sixers just don’t match up well with the Heat.
Miami has three stars in Dwyane Wade, LeBron James and Chris Bosh. That’s three more than the Sixers.
The Sixers’ two losses to Miami were by 41 points. Their other five have been by a combined 24 points.

“Best for the Sixers to win games” could top it.

But is it really best for the sixers to win games? If theyre not going to win a championship anyway isn’t it best for them to tank and get a high upside lottery pick? Heh? Heh??
"If Iguodala were a legitimate "true" 17 PPG scorer, we’d be a better team. When at least 8 of those points come off the fast break, his true offensive production is a reality: 8-11 PPG." - LeQuan Glover
Exactly! They will never get a Real Center until they are horrible and lose. Therefore, they should not win another game the whole season!
This is fun :D
I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggone it, there will be no trade for Monta!
HELLZ YAH! TEH SCUKZORZ’LL SUCK NTILL DEY GET CENTER BIG LIKE HWARD! “it bigger the iggy it’s a big center that can play both sizes of the court and all the rest of the pieace should show up with the attention that one guy gives dwight howard move as much contract as possible but leave the good ones.”
Sorry to beat a dead horse with that quote, but it still makes me nearly piss myself every time that I read it!

Maybe we get lucky and Derrick Rose gets injured and we somehow grab the 2 seed, then Chicago gets the four seed and upsets Miami in the conference semifinals while the Sixers get advance to the conference finals by beating the Magic (7 seed) and the Pacers (3 seed). Then we upset the Bulls in 7 to advance to the finals where we face the Thunder and… no I can’t even fantasize about beating the Thunder. Nevermind.
Love the Sixers, love the Cavs. Don't sympathize, we'll win a championship someday. Someday...
you mean d.rose re-injures “it” in garbage time of the miami elimination game? thats the only way to get them past the heat and ensure they lose to us hahaa
ok, now re-read in Doug Collins' voice...

Is it wrong to say 'Duh' here?
It’s also best to score more points than the other time. Probably means come playoff time we should avoid all high-scoring and/or good defending teams – they’re harder to score more points against.
