So I was talking with 76ers head coach Brett Brown at Eagles practice the other day, and he got me thinking about bat poop. Trust me. There's a connection. Just hang tight.
Brown and Sixers general manager Bryan Colangelo visited the NovaCare Complex on Monday, and during a brief interview near the practice fields Brown mentioned how much he was enjoying watching Dario Saric and Sergio Rodriguez - two Sixers players he hasn't had the chance to coach yet - in the Rio Olympics. Both of them, he said, "thought the game" very well. They anticipated plays. They were unselfish.
