Sixers schedule released
The Sixers have a schedule for the next season, now all they need is a set of keys to end the lockout.
Assuming labor peace is reached between the owners and the NBA Players Association — a large assumption, to be sure — the Sixers will open the 2011-12 campaign at Toronto on Wednesday, Nov. 2. The home-opener is two nights later against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
The Sixers visit defending-champion Dallas on Nov. 22 and host the Mavericks on Feb. 17.
The Miami Heat, the most celebrated runners-up since 1948 presidential candidate Thomas Dewey, are in town on Feb. 13 and March 16. The Sixers travel to Miami on Nov. 20 and, in the season-finale, April 18.
The league is currently mired in a work stoppage that already has players examining playing options in Europe. Many have contract clauses that would allow them to rejoin the NBA once the lockout is lifted.

End Regular Season
Who are the Sixers? Never heard of them...— kelprod2- Mike Bibby blocked Spencer hawes hook. Mike Bibby out jumped hawes for an OFFENSIVE rebound.. 4.25 mil?? REALLY! Not if I was gm. KEEP THE MONEY!! BUYOUT NOC!! or package him with Lou. Lou contributed ABSOLUTELY nothing in the series.. NOTHING!! I have ALL 5 games. NOTHING! Not a screen not a boxout. NOTHING!! Without the ball he's useless. And if he's missing he's not that good with it. He's blocking turner more than iguodala. Lou+ Noc+ hawes = nearly 15 mil. That's a player.. A VERY GOOD ONE!!— combocancer1975
