The Sixers are having an outstanding season both on the court and at homes throughout the Delaware Valley. Comcast Sportsnet is reporting a major explosion in the number of sports fans thr0ughout the area who are starting to check out the 76ers.
“Sixers’ game broadcast and pre and postgame ratings on Comcast SportsNet are averaging double-digit increases over last season. Last night’s Sixers win over the Los Angeles Lakers averaged a 5.1 HH rating (153,000 HHs), making it the highest-rated Sixers game since March 1, 2005. Year-to- date, Sixers games on Comcast SportsNet are averaging 2.81 household rating, up 77% over last season’s average. “Sixers Postgame Live” is averaging a 1.5 HH rating, up 88% over last season’s 0.8 HH rating, while “Sixers Pregame Live” is averaging a 0.6 HH rating, up 100% over last season.”
Sixers have a likeable team — they always seem to be smiling and laughing and high five-ing —- Spencer Hawes is their only player who ever snarls when dunking or fouled everyone else is always happy — Yahoo.com ranked all the players in the NBA from last to first during the lockout and the very last player was Lavoy Allen —— he proved everyone wrong and is going to get a 2nd NBA contract –
These ratings are a testament to coach collins and his super staff of coaches and the players who have bought into everything he preaches.. what a team they have. Even with them losing to the spurs tonight, im not as mad as i would have been in earlier years bc the effort has been there all year long since the very beginning, we cant win them all but what is exciting is we now expect this team to win every game they go out to play.. this squad has stolen the hearts of all of Philadelphia and the entire league is starting to recognize too.. keep showing ya luv for this team by going out to the games and or watching them on tv, for there really deserving of our conversation and attention unlike the pitiful Eagles and under achieving Phillies..
Morbid curiosity, by band-wagoners. LOL! Go to the damn games! I’ve been to 3 so far & half the damn place has been empty. Although I think right now they are somewhat of a mirage, it is fun to watch them, even when my stomach turns at every point Iggy touches the ball. I just can’t bring myself to like this stiff! I’m sticking to my guns, until they get a 4 & a 5, that isn’t as soft as cotton, & Iggy & Brand is gone, they will not be able to properly rebuild to a winning future.
