Liberty Ballers, a Philadelphia 76ers community

Because the Sixers are so very far away from contending, does the coach actually make a tangible difference at this point? ..... Kind of.

With help from MTV's Next.

The Sixers now have all of the advisers in the NBA. Who will advise anybody else?!?! Well, at least he's not coaching anymore.

We have made it through another season of Sixers basketball. To commemorate that, I wrote lots of hard words on Andrew Bynum and how to feel about the Sixers. It's long and sad.

There aren't many assets, they haven't been winning, and a thousand coaches have passed through since Larry Brown left.

This is a huge shakeup for a number of the Sixers and Tony DiLeo.

The Sixers beat the Wizards in yet another meaningless basketball game. Only 3 more to go before the season is finally over.

... so they wouldn't have to fire him, thus avoiding a potential PR tornado with all the other tornados encapsulating this season.

Pride will wear #76 with the team. He also has elected not to have his name displayed on the back of his jersey.

We'll bring the links, you bring the discussion. Casual Friday open thread discussion fun for everyone!
