Hello and welcome to a (semi) new feature here at Liberty Ballers: Casual Friday Liberty Links Lounge. Here you'll find some quality Sixers articles from around the web. But that's not the only thing the Liberty Links Lounge (henceforth known as the LLL) is good for - it's also to serve as an open thread for the great community we have here at LB.
Are you new here? Want to introduce yourself? Go for it. Want to talk about one of the articles in the links section here? Go for it. Want to talk about some other general Sixers issue or thought? Go for it! Want to talk about something non-Sixers related? GO FOR IT ALREADY! As long as you keep it clean (no cursing, guys, ours Moms read the blog!) and avoid touchy subjects like religion/politics/etc, it's fair game. It's your thread - use it as you see fit.
Once the season starts (5 more days!), I'll also be posting the GameThread Stats in here for those of you who like that kind of thing.
