NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball.
Elton Brand has returned. That is all Philadelphia needed to know. The Sixers thought they were going to climb the mountain last year and be a true threat for the NBA title. After all they had made the playoffs the year before without Elton Brand and now they had a 20/10 guy on their team. How could they miss on improving and at least making the Conference finals?
They still don’t have the depth that might be needed and now that Andre Miller has bolted, …read more

Flip Saunders
Rumor has Flip Saunders, almost wrote Flip Wilson, coaching the 76ers. Remember he was coaching my Pistons last year. Flip Saunders was an amazing regular season coach, but just could not harness it for the playoffs. No word on how good of a coach Flip Wilson would be.
Saunders most recently coached the Detroit Pistons, and was the head coach of the Eastern Conference …read more

Man, today there was this crazy thought rolling through my head. What if the Pistons had kept Chauncey Billups and Iverson had stayed on the Nuggets?
Nowhere to go with that thought, so how about taking a look at how some of this player movement and coaching movement is working out?
Chauncey Billups from Detroit to Denver
Denver is 7 – 3 in their last 10 games and in 1st place
Allen Iverson from Denver to Detroit
Detroit is 4 – 6 and in second place.
Ron Artest from everywhere to Houston
Houston is …read more

Elton Brand dunking

Philadelphia was down 38 – 13.
Past 76er teams would have quit. We are going to lose, so let’s go home.
But they did not quit and came back to win the game 94 – 92 over the Indiana Pacers. Elton Brand had 15 rebounds and Thaddeus Young had 25 points.
“It was a great comeback by Philadelphia,” Indiana coach Jim O’Brien said. “Sometimes you get too big a lead early in the game — and the NBA is a game of momentum shifts.”

Dwyane Wade helps put a whole new spin on which NBA Conference is dominant

This year will finally be the year where balance is restored. The Eastern Conference of the NBA will be dominant. It is time to crush the West!
Let’s start with Elton Brand and Dwyane Wade.
Elton Brand went from west to east, making one potentially decent team subpar out West and making one average Eastern team suddenly look very, very good. Meanwhile, Miami essentially adds a superstar in Dwyane Wade because he’s fully healed, and …read more

Elton Brand will give the 76ers a player down on the blocks
Last year the Philadelphia 76ers went to the playoffs to take on the Detroit Pistons. A tall order for a team that had not been to the playoffs in quite a while and for a team that was not loaded with established stars.
The Pistons had a simple strategy for victory. There was no inside game for the 76ers. No dominant player on the box to force a double team. The strategy was to …read more
