Francisco Elson News

To catch you up: recently, Philadelphia sports journalism's equivalent of Nicholas Flamel, Stan Hochman, went on the talking box radio and made a few comments about Sixers wing Evan Turner.

When one door closes, another door Brackins. After yesterday's sad news that Francisco Elson AKA Frozone AKA Denzel Washington in Glory AKA The Mountain That Rides will not have his next 10-Day contract reupped with the Sixers, we've got bubbly word that Craig Brackins has been recalled from the D-League to grace the Sixers bench with his ass.

Unless you live in a cave, you are aware that the 76ers are celebrating the 50th anniversary of Wilt's 100-point game tonight .A Just a littleA FYIThe current Sixers have not scored 100 points in a game since January 23rd.A That's 19 straight games without reaching triple digits.

After Wednesday's disappointing fourth-quarter meltdown against the Oklahoma City Thunder, 76ers coach Doug Collins did his best Andy Reid impression, blaming himself for the Sixers' 11 straight missed shots late in the fourth quarter after gaining a seven-point lead.

It is with great sadness that I write the Sixers have parted ways with former All-World player and Frozone lookalike, Francisco Elson.
