The Sixers lost to the Orlando Magic Saturday in an excruciatingly close game (108-106). They will try to regroup tomorrow night against the Washington Wizards at 7PM at the Wach (get tickets or watch here), and the Miami Heat on Thursday at 7PM at the Wach (get tickets or watch here). The Flyers fared better, beating the Anaheim Ducks Saturday (3-0). They host the Washington Capitals on Wednesday at 7PM at the Wach (get tickets......

The Sixers are trying to keep up the home court magic after trashing the Milwaukee Bucks Wednesday (112-69), by beating the Orlando Magic tonight at 7PM at the Wach (get tickets or watch here). The Flyers (who despite some people’s assessment aren’t doing that bad, even with that embarrassing loss to the Rangers (0-4) last night) host the Anaheim Ducks tomorrow night at 7PM at the Wach (get tickets or watch here). The Kixx try......

UPDATE: Digg this, please! Phillyist has always regarded the Ducks with a combination of annoyance (do they have to give everyone those damned whistles?) and fascination (it's a bus that goes in the water!), but mostly the former. But even at our most annoyed, we're not nearly as angry as Walt Sherman, creator of the new (and sometimes Proofreading Philly-worthy) Shut the Duck Up!, who writes on this new blog: I wanted to start this......

by Jon Brouse After one month and three suspensions, the Flyers sit atop the Atlantic division for the first time since the ‘05-‘06 campaign. With production coming from the top three lines and a hot goalie, the team is showing a winning finish that was clearly lacking last year. Jeff Carter has stepped up his game and is developing into a quality second-line center. Joffrey Lupul is looking more like the budding star from the......

From the very start of the off-season, Philadelphia Flyers GM Paul Holmgren has been aggressively and effectively re-tooling a franchise in need of a do-over. In other words, the current team is the product of a plan that seems a little too smart for the Flyers, with one transaction win coming after the other. The orange and black have always been able to bring in big names, but have they ever been this good at......

In this town, when the locals are dissatisfied, they speak out; just ask Santa Claus. So you've undoubtedly heard about Philadelphians' disdain for the amphib-hideous duck boats that began operating in and nearby Old City in 2003. We're no scrooges, and we appreciate visitors parting with a few dollars in our fair city. There's nothing wrong with a little tacky family fun! But Ride the Ducks probably crossed Philly's collective line when they decided to......

We've got yet another new addition to the team: sports aficionado, as well as night and weekend wanderer of the streets, bars, cafes, galleries, theaters, and concert venues of Philly, Brion Sheffler! His first piece for us is a re-cap of the most recent Flyers game, but he also likes both kinds of football - the American version, and the other one, which is not called soccer, damn it! Staying up late has its rewards.......

Sampaist is on the scene in São Paulo beginning this week to become the only ist south of the Equator. Editor Leandro M. Pinto leads the paulistanos down there. You can protest someone at his office, sure, but when the whistle blows at the end of the day can you follow him home? D.C. has sports fans, apparently, and elephants aren't really cut out for zoos. There's this trick where you can read information from......
