Last time Sixers won their division, this was the logo.

So a while back I said that the Sixers could win the Atlantic Division. Even in their current slump, I still think it’s possible. There are many factors that can lead them to pulling off something that they haven’t done in over 10 years. And their schedule will help a lot. Oh the schedule will have tougher opponents than before. But there are two teams that Sixers have barely faced: Celtics and Knicks.

They have only faced the Knicks once on the 3rd game in the 3rd night. There was horrible officiating and the Sixers were on the road. In fact, that game told me that the Sixers would win their division in the first place. Based on how well the Sixers played in that game, I’m pretty much convinced that the Sixers can beat the Knicks when they go against them again.

This is the image of where you can clearly see Andre Iguodala hand is on the ball the entire time. There is no where close that this should been called a foul, and to actually make a call with the seconds left is even more laughable.

Here is the Video:

Watching the replay there is no clear sign that Dre fouled Kevin Love. In fact why the referee missed the Kevin Love arm block on Thad Young, prior to the actual call, was also questionable.

It’s really a “duh!” statement but it’s true. All season we saw the Sixers chuck up long ball after long ball. And they were falling at first. But that’s fool’s gold there. Attack the rim.  Sixers have players that can do that. Holiday, Turner and Lou are the main one’s that have the ability but  don’t seem to favor it. But why? Also, move the ball around. They have passers that can look for the open man instead of deciding that the best shot is 10 hands in your face, while fading away. I apologize in advance. Exaggeration is a problem I have. Do it too much sometimes. Rehab is going well though.

One hobby I have is the art of playwriting. So, in this post, I will present some of my “gift” to illustrate why the Sixers settle for these long 2′s and 3′s. It’s on the coaching mainly. And as long as coaching is okay with it, no sense in praying that Sixers will change anytime soon.

Well, for one thing, they are FREE. I mean, you don’t have to chuck up a fade away with only 2 seconds on the clock. There is no hand in your face. You’re not avoiding a block attempt. It’s just you, and the hoop. And again, they are free points. Make the other team pay for fouling you. At this rate, other teams will just start “Hack-A-Sixer” just because it would be so effective.

I bought into it last season that starting Jodie Meeks over Evan Turner and company was a real good idea by Doug Collins. Sixers had no real outside presence, and all teams opposing teams needed to do was clog up the paint. Rookie Evan Turner and Andres Nocioni was not meeting expectation to the coaches and fans.
