Report: Sixers negotiating with Collins

Basketball Betting Lines

05/19/2010 - Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Philadelphia 76ers are reportedly negotiating with Doug Collins so he can become the team's next head coach.

Comcast SportsNet Philadelphia reports Collins, currently an analyst for TNT, is working on a deal with the club. A source told the network that the two sides were hopeful the process "will move quickly."

The network also reported that the Chicago Bulls have also expressed interest in Collins to take over for the fired Vinny Del Negro.

The 58-year-old Collins coached the Bulls (1986-89), Detroit Pistons (1995-98) and Washington Wizards (2001-03) and has a career mark of 332-287. His teams have been to the playoffs five times, going as far as the conference finals with the Bulls in the 1988-89 season. He was then replaced by his assistant, Phil Jackson.

Collins spent his entire NBA playing career with the 76ers (1973-81) and averaged 17.9 points a game. He was the No. 1 overall draft pick in 1973.

The Sixers need a replacement for Eddie Jordan, who was fired after just one season. They finished a woeful 27-55 on the year, the worst mark for the franchise since the 1996-97 season. The team will pick second in this year's NBA Draft.

Others to interview with the Sixers include Phoenix assistant coach Dan Majerle, former Pistons standout Bill Laimbeer, Portland assistant Monty Williams, and ex-Mavericks coach Avery Johnson.

Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.

The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.

The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.

Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.

Pittsburgh Steelers -6.5 (-110), Over 46.5 (-110), -260 (Money line)
