76ers Sunday Morning Shootaround: The Rumors Edition
In this week's edition of the Sunday Morning Shootaround, we take a trip with Evan Turner to the gun range, clear up a bunch of nagging rumors, and bring you an exclusive interview with future Sixers' GM Dikembe Mutombo Mpolondo Mukamba Jean-Jacques Wamutombo.

The Sixers Will Not Make The Playoffs
Who cares? There's still PRIDE left to play for.

Sixers 2013: The Last Five Games
Make that four, now. What do you want to see in the last four games? For me the answer is "nothing".

Twitter Gone Wrong: Sixers Account Uses The Phrase "Mean Monkey Dunk"
The Sixers Twitter account is usually pretty bad but this was just... something. Yikes.

NBA Free Agency: Nick Young Wants a Long-Term Deal
It's been real, Swagster.

Doug Collins controversy - [The Sixers want Doug to leave?] - [Hold on, no they don't?]

Very, Very Late 2012-13 Sixers Season Preview - FanPost by nyunole
Only 4 games left, so it's time to get around to previewing the season if you haven't already.

No Playoffs for Sixers: How Disappointed Should We Be? - The 700 Level
Well considering the current circumstances... you shouldn't be disappointed at all. Having a lottery pick beats getting swept by the Heat in the first round. It's hard not to think what this team could have been with a healthy Bynum, though.

Do You Want Doug Collins Back? Because the Sixers Reportedly Do Not - The 700 Level
No. This is why.

Spike Eskin: Sixers Owners Need To Show Guts In The Doug Collins Situation - CBS Philly
Strongly agree with a lot of what's said here. Doug shouldn't be the one in charge of this decision.

"If the owners want him gone, Collins does not get to determine whether he’s a front office presence, an adviser, or anything. The only thing he is owed, at the very most, is his salary and a thank you card."

Lavoy Allen struggles to take next step in second season - CSN Philly
Disappointed how the season has gone for Lavoy but I'm still holding out hope he can play better. Call me crazy but I still like the New School Chevy.

Andrew Bynum, Jason Richardson miss Sixers' photo day - Sixers Dish
lol
