Hello and welcome to a blog that will not hold things back. If you are the type of person who doesn't like opinionated sports writing, you might just want to check out a different page. I am a guy who grew up in the Philadelphia area. You know what they say about us Philly fans. We always have something to say. And that is one of the great things about us. You may not always like what we say or do, but we know and love our teams and we know what we expect out of them. If they don't bring it every game, they will get booed more than the visiting team. Some people think that makes us terrible people and flat out bad fans. To them, I say that you don't know what a true fan is. When you have seen as much let down as we have, let me know what nice things you have to say about your teams. But do we leave them? Never in a million years.
What can you expect from this blog?
The answer is pretty simple. You can expect an in your face look at what is going on in the world of sports. I will tell it like it is whether it be about my team or yours. You might not always like what I have to say, but I bet it will have you coming back to read more from the next post. I mean come on, we threw ice balls at Santa, but every Christmas he is outside the mall asking for donations. If that didn't scare him off then this shouldn't scare you off.
I welcome feedback. If you want to discuss something, feel free to comment on here or to just send me an email. However if you just want to hate, save your energy because you will be deleted and blocked.
Now that the intro is out of the way, let's talk sports. As I sit here watching the 76ers play the Thunder, it only makes sense that basketball is on my mind. I know what you are thinking. "What does a guy from Philly know about basketball? He hasn't had a team to watch in years". While this may be very true, some people in the city actually do still care about this team. And this is a year that is more exciting than any year since Iverson left the first time. Yes, they have 2 wins and 6 losses right now, but it is still a pretty exciting time for Sixers fans.
We have a new coach that brings a lot of energy to the court. He seems upbeat and positive in interviews even after losses. It almost gives us hope that something good is on the horizon. He is not the only new guy to add excitement to the game. Because we were so "good" last year, we got the second overall draft pick and got Evan Turner from The Ohio State University. The kid shows nothing but promise and is already turning some heads in the early part of his career. Another interesting thing you will notice when looking on the court is the lack of butterfingers magee...I mean Sammy Dalembert. He was traded for Spencer Hawes who has started off slow but has some promise and Andres Nocioni who has been impressive since being picked up. Put that on top of an Elton Brand who is finally playing like the guy we saw on the Clippers. As a whole, they are a young team but they are looking better every game. Given time, they could be a sleeper team this year.
Check back often for more updates and interesting commentary on the topic we all love so much. Don't forget, live by these words:
"Those who can't play must judge like a pro."
Have a good night everyone
