The Sixers forward is playing well during the team's 6-3 stretch.

After injuries limited him to 37 games during the previous two seasons, Elton Brand is finally starting to feel more like the Elton Brand who averaged 20 points and 10 rebounds in his first 10 NBA seasons. And it's showing on the court.

In the Sixers' last nine games, he's shooting 58-for-108 (53.7 percent) from the field. The Sixers are 6-3 during that span, with Brand averaging 18.7 points and shooting 59.2 percent in the victories.

Brand had 25 points on 11-for-16 shooting in a Dec. 28 victory over the Trail Blazers, another 25 in a Jan. 9 drubbing of the Pistons and 18 in Monday's 96-92 win over the Hornets.

"You definitely miss a lot (sitting out so many games)," Brand said. "Timing-wise, conditioning-wise and confidence-wise, it's definitely coming back for me. Getting the victories is the best part."

Wish he was starting, my fantasy team would be better off. If he was playing his usual 35+ minutes he'd be a solid 18 and 10 im sure.

You know, his splits have been fascinating, and pretty much back him up. First of all, he's finally started scoring efficiently in Jan., his FG% is 54, and he's getting more free throws with less TO's. He's also a much better player in their wins and losses, he shoots much better and scores more in less time.

All of this, however, has added up to Jordan playing him less in January. Amazing.

I don't think in all my years as a Sixer fan that I've seen a coach as frustrating as Eddie Jordan. Watching him just takes all the energy out of you. Even when the team wins it seems hopeless because it just means he'll be around longer, and so will Stefanski, and we already know Snider ain't going anywhere.

Word on the street is that Stefanski basically forced Brand back into the starting line-up.
