Dwight Howard Out For Game Six, Magicians Everywhere Mourn
Dwight Howard has been suspended one game for getting all elbow-y on Philly's Samuel Dalembert. (Rajon Rondo? It's all good!) I hope we all learned something valuable here. [Orlando Sentinel; Chicago Tribune; WFNY] -

Three Presumed Mismatches In NBA Playoffs Tonight
If the 76ers hadn't pulled off that Game 1 upset in Auburn Hills, tonight's NBA Playoff games would have the feel of a night off. The Celtics were terrifying against the Hawks in Game One and seem unlikely to remain so. The Lakers appears well on their way to continuing Allen Iverson's enobling failures. And there you have those crazy 76ers. More »

Get Along, 76ers
Here are some more not-so-revealing photos of an NBA dance team, courtesy of internet rapscallion Don Chavez, who pulled these pictures of the Sixers dance team acting like an ample-bosomed professional dance team out at a bar, from some unsuspecting member's Webshots album. The significance of this picture is two-fold: the Sixers dance team would most likely not receive any attention from the roving eyes of the internet unless they are a playoff team. They are.

Highway Robbery In The NBA
In more than 20 years of following professional basketball, I've never seen anything like this. The Philadelphia 76ers had seemingly beaten the Cleveland Cavaliers 90-89. Time had expired. The Sixers were in their locker room celebrating. But stop the presses! The referees had — after reviewing the video and discussing the situation — ruled that Devin Brown was fouled with 0.2 seconds left on the clock. The Philly players returned to the court to watch Brown calmly sink both 'throws. Game over (again). Cleveland wins, 91-90. More »

Jason Smith Might Be A Little Itchy
According to ex-adult entertainer Mary Carey, Sixers rookie big man Jason Smith was the victim of her spider-monkey-esque make-out session on Monday night. Smith, the Sixers 20th pick in the 2007 draft, has provided playoff-bound Sixers some additional big-man depth off the bench this season but, according to Carey, he's also a porn enthusiast who was easily bedeviled by the professional skeet-receptacle's charms.

The Sixers Are Good Now, So Mary Carey Shall Climb Them
How about those Sixers? it was only a few short months ago that the team was in a completely understandable death spiral, thought to be rebuilding, being encouraged to dump its expensive players to stock up for the future. And now? Well, the Sixers are on the cusp of miraculously making the playoffs. And although their play on the court illustrates this fact, what's even more telling about their revitalized relevancy is former California gubernatorial candidate, former porn star and former Celebrity Rehab-er Mary Carey took a liking to one of them at an NYC nightclub the other night. According to Page Six, Carey went over to a table full of Sixers, spotted one she like and "wrapped her legs around him and made out with him in front of clubgoers. " More » -

A Look At Andre Iguodala
We're dangerously close to the start of the NBA season, with all its drama and months of madness. To us, part of the beauty of the NBA is that its focus, while ultimately on the team, falls on the individual. The plight of one player becomes an epic tale in the shadow of Jordan; who is the real alpha dog? It's this source of expression and personal comedy/tragedy that makes the game so compelling. There's nowhere to hide out there.

Break Up The 76ers! (Again!)

Larry Brown Has A New Job
With Allen Iverson having moved on to much, much greener pastures, Larry Brown is now officially back with the Philadelphia 76ers. He had been doing some unofficial consulting for a while, but now has the official Executive Vice President title. I don't know how much that job pays, but Isiah Thomas has offered to chip in about $18.5 million. Nice guy, that Isiah. More »

Hey, Somebody Wake Up Jordan Already
As we enter Day, what, 15? of the Where's Iverson Gonna Get Traded? countdown — we think it's a shame they can't find a way to get him to Minnesota, and we can't fathom why it makes sense to send him to Boston — we look back at yesterday's big news. Supposedly, Iverson turned down a trade to the Charlotte Bobcats, though the team has denied the story, wisely, because it's probably not a good thing when word gets out that no one wants to play for you.

The Eastern Conference Clusterfuck
The top four is set, but the battle for the final four spots in the NBA's Eastern Conference Playoffs is as tight and bunched-up as Magic Johnson's boxers. Milwaukee, Washington, and Indiana all have identical 39-40 records, with Chicago one game behind them at 35-41. The Sixers are the odd man out at the moment, 2 games out of a spot at 37-42. With perhaps a little bit of shuffling among the order, the four teams that are in right now are probably the same four teams that will end up sliding in. More » -
