Phil Jasner: Coaching friends shared last laughs with Daly
Posted 05/13/2009
NONE OF THEM wanted to say what was inside them after the fact. The bonds were too strong. The life experiences were too intertwined. There they were, roughly a month ago, former Penn coaches Bob Weinhauer and Jack McCloskey, onetime Penn assistant Bob Staak and former Temple coach Don Casey in Jupiter, Fla., visiting with Chuck Daly. They talked, they laughed, they reminisced.

Collins denies report he's talked to Sixers
Sixers point guard Andre Miller, shown during the Magic series, is a free agent for the first time.
Phil Jasner: Andre Miller will be a big point of discussion for Sixers
Posted 05/02/2009
PREMISE: ANDRE Miller is the most important player on the 76ers' roster. Discussion: That is true to a point, because Miller is not only crafty and capable, he is the only point guard on the roster. He is also, for the first time in his career, a free agent. He probably has only one more contract to sign during his career, and he must be certain the situation is as right as the money.

Phil Jasner: Sixers' Dalembert taking lumps, earning respect - 04/30/2009
GO AHEAD, admit it: You don't like Samuel Dalembert. You think he doesn't have good basketball instincts. You think he makes too many mistakes. You think he's overpaid, that the 76ers need to upgrade his position in the offseason.
 
Phil Jasner: Is resiliency worth two more wins to Sixers? - 04/28/2009
HOW MANY MORE hills, Tony DiLeo was asked, can the 76ers climb? "Two," the coach replied yesterday, speaking to a handful of reporters before the team left for Orlando and tonight's Game 5 of what has become an excruciating first-round playoff series.
 
Phil Jasner: DiLeo should return as Sixers coach, no matter how playoffs turn out - 04/24/2009
I DON'T KNOW what Ed Stefanski has in mind. I haven't been around him long enough to know exactly how he thinks in terms of coaches.
