No matter what happens in Game 7, the 76ers have already won

The stage is set for another epic game in this historic rivalry that includes some of the greatest players in NBA history. I have the Cs winning this game purely because they are at home, have a veteran team, and Rajon Rondo should be motivated to make-up for his bad play in Game 6.

Even if Boston advances, the 76ers should consider forcing a game 7 a win. They started out the season red-hot, but took a huge nose dive after the All-Star break. 76ers entered the playoffs as a 8th seed having to go through the #1 seeded Bulls. Lady Luck has been wearing a '6ers jersey ever since. Injuries to Derek Rose and Joakim Noah helped pull off the upset. Now an injury to Avery Bradley and Ray Allen has helped push this series to 7 games.

For Doug Collins and his young team to get this kind of playoff experience together will be phenomenal for the organization and the players for years to come. The NBA is a "rite of passage" sport. First you make the playoffs and exit in the 1st round. Then you get the second round or conference finals to lose a close series in 6 or 7 games. Only after that, you finally build the mental make-up of a champion. Luckily for 76ers fans their team and coach get to do this together.

NBA Playoffs Round 2


Despite early exits from Utah and Dallas, the playoffs have gone as expected. We started with 16 and now we are down to 8. As we move to the second round, teams to watch are the Thunder, Pacers,and the Clippers.These young teams are built to win now and in the future. With and least 1 or 2 superstar and a wealth of talent on the bench, they can easily be crowned this years champions. With such a compact season, these young guns are primed mentally and physically to challenge anyone for the championship. Its hard to watch and at the same time hate to see the old guys struggle to compete with the next generation of superstars.Take a good look now because I suspect that we are about to see the a new NBA Champion!

Should Drew Brees Stay With The Saints?

Many would look at the off season for the New Orleans Saints as a sports death march. Not only have they lost a head coach, a GM, staff, and players behind "bounty-gate", but they have yet to lock-up the most important piece to the puzzle Drew Brees. The Saints placed a franchise tag on Brees before the suspensions started to rain down much to the dismay of the former MVP. The last time Brees played under such designation he suffered a career-ending type injury on the last game of the season while a San Diego Charger. Many teams wrote him off after that except for the New Orleans Saints. Drew has been adamant that he will not start the season under a franchise tag; he wants to get paid.

Should he resign with the Saints? The entire bounty program that caused the turmoil was designed to attack quarterbacks. Two of the more high targets, Brett Farve and Kurt Warner, ended their careers to Saints defensive "bounty" hits. Is Brees up to facing the possible retaliation from other defenses that missed out because their quarterback could not continue?

In the back of his mind he has to ponder; do I really know these people? Sean Payton has been suspended for the entire season for his cover-up of the whole bounty program after being warned a year prior. Saints GM Mickey Loomis  will miss the half the season and has more recently been accused of having a device in his suite at the Superdome that would allow him to listen to the opposing team's headset conversations. Owner Tom Benson has not been willing to meet the QB's salary demands, but found over $300 million dollars to purchase the New Orleans Hornets. Brees' only saving grace to stick with the Saints may be the city of New Orleans. He and his wife have become pillars in the community since the devastation of  hurricane Katrina. Saints fans can only hope that Saints management feel the same way.

Four Players Get Suspended over Saints' Bounty Program; Vilma Suspended for 2012 Season

The hammer has finally dropped. Roger Goddell and the NFL have finally issued out suspensions for the players they deemed most involved with the Saints' bounty program. Their level of involvement is debatable, but Jonathan Vilma, much like former defensive coordinator Gregg Williams and head coach Sean Payton, received the most severe punishment with a full season suspension.
