There has been speculation for some time, but now it seems official, the Spectrum in Philly will close at the end of this year and be demolished. The arena is 42-years old.
“This has been one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever had to make,” said Ed Snider, Comcast-Spectacor’s chairman. “The Spectrum is my baby. [...]
ESPN is reporting, “NBA front-office sources told ESPN.com on Tuesday that Brand has informed the Sixers that he will accept a five-year deal worth an estimated $82 million.”
Brand and the Sixers do indeed have to wait until the clock strikes midnight to make everything official. If this is all true and Brand signs with [...]
610 WIP afternoon radio host Howard Eskin has stated on his show that the 76ers are very close in making Elton Brand part of their roster. Eskin also stated that it could be a sign-and-trade.
In this day and age, the sign-and-trade is a very popular approach for NBA teams to use in getting something for [...]
I will be constantly updating this and you can keep checking in for my latest version here. I also have all good intentions to live blog the NBA Draft tomorrow starting at 7 p.m. should I not pass out on Early Times whiskey first. Actually, the only reason it wouldn’t happen is if I have technical difficulties.
In the live blog, I will dish out my thoughts on the picks and make sure I put in writing every ridiculous thing that comes out of the mouths of Mark Jackson and Jeff Van Gundy.
So here’s Blast’s live draft:
Denver Nuggets forward Carmelo Anthony pleaded guilty to DUI this morning on charges stemming from his April 14th arrest.
“I put myself at risk,” Anthony told Denver Judge Claudia Jordan.
In related news, the Denver Nuggets have suspended him for the first two games of the 2008-2009 season. At least we are lucky enough to have him [...]
After overcoming a 24-point deficit last night against the Los Angeles Lakers, the Boston Celtics are on the brink of another NBA Championship. With just one more win, Boston fans will become exponentially more obnoxious and annoying.
The Celtics were phenomenal Thursday night as they knocked of the Lakers 97-91 to take a 3-1 lead [...]
The Boston Celtics clamped down on defense in the second half, outscoring the Lakers 52-37 leading them to a 98-88 Game 1 victory. I’m not going to get into this game too much, because the best is still to come with both of these teams still feeling each other out. But here’s a couple thoughts [...]
Oddly enough I received an email today from a third party that sent me a transcript (verbatim) of an interesting meeting that happened today. Apparently, Paul Pierce called a joint meeting between the Celtics and the Lakers today after both teams’ shoot-arounds to discuss the NBA Finals. It was a quick meeting, but [...]
The “D” in Sammy D. does not stand for “details,” apparently. As in, the detail that his business partners didn’t actually have the rights to license products and merchandise for “Speed Racer,” despite the Philadelphia 76ers center investing more than a million dollars in the project back in 2006.
Well, the seven-footer wants some money [...]
Richard Hamilton of the Detroit Pistons is ready to play tonight in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Boston Celtics. Detroit needs to win tonight to force a Game 7 back in Boston.
After shooting with the team, Hamilton said he had discomfort in his right elbow, but would play through it.
“Once I [...]
