    As for the sixers, I know they've won some games at home, but most have been against shitty teams. Other than the bulls, have they beaten anyone good?

    They will get the 7 or 8 seed and get drilled in the first round. Same shit every year. My biggest issue with this franchise is that there doesn't seem to be any semblance of a long term plan

    yeah i don't know. all their games are competitive. after the horrendous start they've been playing quite well, especially at home.

    regarding the extra inning package, i thought comcast blacks them out....or you can only get the opposing team's broadcast or something? could be wrong though.

    The team in the market that you live is always blacked out. Most nights you don't have a choice of broadcasts.

    Not having the phils broadcast every night definitely won't bother me

    Yeah, he was bad. Their play by play guy is terrible too. The Nats, Cards, D-backs, and Pirates announcers are all brutal. There are a lot of quality NL broadcast teams...Cubs and Dodgers are the best. Mets, giants, Rocks, and marlins are really good.

    Man, I can't wait for baseball

    The only shitty part about the package is that some of the saturday afternoon games get blacked out if they are part of the Fox broadcast. And no high def, which is ridiculous

    Yeah, the Satuday thing blows. I usually end up listening to them on the radio. I am crossing my fingers comcast figures their shit out and has HD this year. So fucking absurd the pacakge doesn't have HD. I have been thinking about going to Direct TV but it seems like such a hassle to switch. That way I would get YES too so I can see the pregame and post game.

    Yeah, they are all brutal. Bert Byleven is the worst for me, no bigger homer in the world. I think it's awesome that Scully is solo, so fucking cool.

    Same here dude, Less that a month till pitchers and catchers.

    Scully is great. He just spews information during games. I feel like I learn something every time I listen to him. I could listen to him announce anything. I'd even watch NASCAR if he announced it. well, probably not, but I'd consider it.

    The White Sox guys are the absolute worst in my opinion. I root against them because I think Hawk Harrelson is the biggest douche ever

    Horrible. $45 a month during baseball season and I can't even watch the games in HD. Nonsense.

    haha, yeah. I hear you. This is the greatest one inning call I have ever heard. I love how he injects the time. He is incredible.

    This just got me in the mood for baseball.

    Yeah, Hawk Harrelson is the fucking worst.

    no shit? i'm still at work and didn't realize they were playing tonight...
    hollinger on espn insider recently said they have the 5th best bench in the league.

    nice line for the rook tonight. 14, 8 and 5 in 33 minutes. iguadala on the other hand: 8, 2, and 3 in 32 minutes. :roll: get rid of this dude so we can let these young bucks grow together asap.

    young thadeous with a monster night too, it looks like.

    Celestand called them a "legitimate playoff contender" tonight. :roll: Ridiculous. I think they pull dudes off the streets to do this post-game.

    hey quit knocking the nova alumn :mrgreen:

    hollinger has them winning 38 games at this point. i'll take an 11 game turn around over last year. if it were not for that horrendous start they'd probably end up around where knicks probably will....43 wins or so.

    the thing is...these wins are counterproductive. they're better off losing games

    he's not so much a douche, he's just way to homerific and his play calls are terrible.

    Stone is good, and imo, the radio guys are solid.

    Hawk is the worst annoucer in all of chicago sports....

    dude. these are not the nets or the cavs or the timberwolves. there's too much talent on this team not to win these games. they're not as horrible as you think or would like them to be. been trying to tell you that since the summer time. your expectations aren't correct. what good is it for them to miss the playoffs by a couple games and having a .007% shot at a top 3 pick? that's not gonna happen. winning these games are good for this team. trading iguadala and giving turner more time would be even better. they're learning how to win.

    they remind me of the phils 10 years ago. i can understand why some people don't like watching them at this point. they're not winning a championship obviously. but they've been improving with each game. to me it's fun to watch a young team develop, even if people won't be jumping on the bandwagon for quite some time. this is night and day compared to last year. :lol:

    I don't know what you're so excited about. They are going nowhere. I'd rather have them absolutely tank, play the young guys, and add a top 10 draft pick.

    The NBA is all about star players. Can't win without them. The Sixers problem is that they don't have any. And they are tough to find outside of the top 5-10 picks in the draft.

    I just can't get excited about this team. Zero direction whatsoever

    just for fun, i looked back at the 76ers draft history.

    no wonder they suck. :lol:

    passed over kobe to take AI. :lol:

    but than again, it's always easy to look back. Bulls have made some boneheaded moves on draft day as well.
