Lets start it off with this article:
AI luvs him sum Mo (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=2183939)
I read that article earlier, honestly, I like AI with a chip on his shoulder better. Like TO he plays better with adversity.

I think they have a preseason game next week. Maybe CWebb will tear up his knee.
Dynamic duo this year with AI and C Webb. Webber lost weight, and Iguodala gained 13 pounds of muscle.

:drool
This kid is a beast. 13 more lbs of muscle to slam home some of the best dunks this year.
no...you don't have to.
he'll somehow find a way
i cant decide if i want to get the nba package or not
13 lbs of muscle is nice but i hope iggy becomes more aggressive on offense this year...if he could average double digit points, it would be a nice improvement. :yay
iverson 25 ppg
weber 19 ppg
ai 14 ppg
No, this would be ideal:

Cram it. Unlike baseball, which I hate but know a lot about, I hate basketball and don't know dick about it. So I can happily avoid talking about it.
That doesn't mean I won't scoff at and judge you suckers for liking a sport made up showboats and shteinheads who have no idea how to play as a team.
my bad...you're really good at not talking about it.
sorry i doubted you.

thats my boy
the 10/18 preseason game is on comcast.
iverson jacked up NINE 3 pointers in 28 minutes of last night's preseason game so he really seems to be letting the other players get involved so they'll be ready for the regular season. ::)
and michael bradley had knee surgery so he's out 4-6 weeks.
::) ::) ::)AI is also hitting better than 50% this preseason ::) ::) ::)
who cares? they need the young guys to work on their games so the TEAM can improve. iverson will be his usual self in the regular season...we know that. i want to see some of the other guys play a larger role, especially in the preseason, so they'll be ready to contribute. if anything, iverson should be shooting a lot LESS in the preseason to save himself for the regular season and to get the other guys involved.

Since when were the Sixers concerned with what you want? Maybe AI is working on his long distance and wants to test it out during the preseason to make sure.

maybe you're happy with a mediocre team as long as your hero scores 30....i'm not.
and ai chucking up shots in the preseason isn't gonna help his TEAMmates develop one bit.
Yes...and that means it's about the whole TEAM and if needs to put up shots...then so be it.

yeah...those 2 statements are exactly the same. ::)
too many high school age iverson groupies make up the sixers "fan" base & you continue to prove it. :-D
well, at least you have your gay jokes. :yay
I don't always agree with hunt's ripping of AI but I actually agree with him somewhat on this one. It's a preseason game so it would be nice to see some of the other players taking shots and showing what they can do. We all know what AI can do so there's really no need to him to be taking so many shots.
So in that sense, mhunt makes a good point.
At the same time though, if AI is on the floor he's going to take shots. Practice like you play. So you really can't blame AI for taking shots. It's what he does. So if you don't want to see AI jacking up a bunch of shots during a preseason game then the complaining should go towards Mo for leaving him in the game for so long, not AI.
Well my old ass certainly isn't high school age...i can only wish i was.
its a preseason game. did anyone see it on tv? maybe a few of those 3's were prayers at the end of the quarter or shot clock. whatever.

true...i keep hoping things will change but i need to realize that he'll always be among the league leaders in shot attempts. he can't help himself.
Why is anyone who likes AI an "AI fluffer" or "AI groupie"?
I , like you hunt, was a fan of the Sixers pre-AI. But I love Iverson too. and he is one of the best players in the NBA bar none. I do not get why the dude is hated on soooo much in this city.
What do you want AI to do this year, hunt? What can he do to be "all team" like you want? Should he continue to pass the ball to his teammates when they can't drain a shot? Why give it up to a zesty player who sucks when he ca score?
He also doesn't have Webber & Dalembert playing. Oh yeah...and its preseason.
He isn't hated much in the city. I don't know anyone personally that hates him.
hunt = joke account

a flat out lie....i'm gorgeous. :P
hes the first scoring option on the team. he should look to shoot. or should lee nailon and kevin ollie get shots? yea. let ai do what ai do.
Are you saying they shouldn't draw up plays specifically for Kevin Ollie?
counting that he has no offesnive skills whatsoever....yes
the open man should get the shot. :paranoid
i fully expect ai to lead the team in shots & points...as well he should. i'm just hoping he takes BETTER shots (resulting in a better shooting %), gives the ball up when nothing's there (not as a last resort when he gets caught in the air with 4 seconds left on the shot clock), works the ball around on offense, and drastically improves his assist/turnover ratio.
it's wishful thinking on my part, i know.
We gotta see how Cheeks system turns out, and what roles he has of his players. I know they are going to have a lot of designed AI and C Webb plays.
i hope so.
i think ai is supposed to play some SG too...possibly with salmons at the point. it's kinda scary but they're really counting on salmons off the bench this year.
i'm not too thrilled with that marc jackson trade either....they basically gave him away for nothing but a salary dump but they might regret it.
webber/dalembert/hunter/nailon/jackson would have been a pretty good big man rotation...as it stands now, micheal bradley is supposed to be the 3rd big man off the bench but he's out 4-6 weeks.
let's hope the bigs stay healthy this year.
I still say the Sixers needed one more move to bolster the 2 or 3 spot to play against the Heat, Pistons, and Pacers. They didn't do it so I think the Sixers win the division, but probably get killed in the 2nd round unless they get value for Mashburn at the deadline.
The Marc Jackson move is still up in the air to me. I was never a huge Hunter fan. He is terrible at the line, and has limited offensive skills, but he can block shots. Something of which we had zero of when Dalembert was in foul trouble. Also Jackson was non-existent in the playoffs. Still, he was our best and only real scoring threat off the bench, but Nailon will replace him in that department this season.

Same here, he was decent and I liked having him as insurance in case one of the front court guys got injured.
hey, i like AI too, but there's something to be said when a long line of scorers have come and gone, each of their numbers decreasing while they were here and increasing when they leave.
AI's great, but if you don't see that he is a ball hog and a shoot first guy, then you are blind to his faults. they will never win a title with him because he shoots too much, plays lousy defense, and has too many turnovers.
but hey, it's exciting watching him score 30 points on 29 shots everynight ::)
2nd options: Stackhouse, Mutumbo, Harpring, Van Horn, Big Dog, Webber.
Stack and AI were two young bucks with big heads who wanted the ball all the time. Sixers made the right call.
Mutumbo was okay for one season, but blew his load (teehee) in the 01 finals run
Harpring was effective, but Brown never really liked him. Yea, thats Iversons fault.
Van Horn? Haha. He had 2 pts in the playoff series against Detroit. He was a loser, and still is.
Big Dog? Next.
Webber. Everyone hated Obie. We shall see now how Webber does. He didnt look great last year, but that was Iversons fault because he caused Webber to miss all those open jump shots.
Do we need to go into the other non existent offensive players that have been in here?
The Sixers will never win a damn thing with a 6' gunner as the focal point of the team.
I've been saying that shtein for years and have been insulted, belittled and berated for saying it by Iverson fluffers and apologists.
If Iverson ever decides to get his teammates involved in the game, they'll be a better unit. He's never shown the least bit of interest in doing so, so why would any of you assume that they're going to be a better team now? What, all of a sudden because Mo Cheeks is the coach, you think Iverson will have an epiphany and realize that defense, practice, and team play is what makes a team championship contenders?
How sad for all of you. :-D
Lets give Dalembert more jumpers to clank off the rim, and Kevin Ollie more threes! Woohoo!
:-D
AI averaged 7.9 assists per game last year and has a 6.0 assist per game average throughout his career, half of which has been spent playing the 2. Yes, he takes a gazillion shots during the game but he's always been a pretty good distributor. Also, since 2000-01 his apg average has been steadily on the rise which says to me the older he gets the more he's learned that he can't do it all on his own.
I forgot about Tyrone Hill and Derrick Coleman. It's a shame those two point machines didn't get their shots cause Iverson is a ballhog.

You think the Sixers not winning titles is because of AI? Last time I checked the following team players haven't won anything either:
KG, Amare, Nash, Dirk, Lebron, Wade, Pierce, Kidd, Mcgrady, Jermaine Oneal, Ray Allen, etc.

Couldn't agree more. This year is the first year where I've liked the talent surrounding AI heading into the season. It's not the best talent in the league but I think it's the best talent the Sixers have had to start a season since drafting AI.
The bottom line is that the Sixers haven't won isn't because they've had AI. They haven't won because all they've had is AI. Even Jordan had Pippen. Shaq had Kobe (or vice versa). I think with Webber and the other AI on the floor the Sixers have a pretty decent team this year. Not NBA Championship calibre but that's not because of Iverson. That's just because there are quite a few teams out there who are flat out better.
Shut up. You're wrong. It's all Iversons fault. He shoots too much and Ira Bowmen and Gerald Honeycut shoot too little.

Also only 3 teams won titles in the last 7 years. Spurs, Lakers, Pistons.
Only 5 teams if you go all the way back to 1991 so you can add the Bulls and Rockets to that list. Of course, that's probably AI's fault too. Well, either him or TO.
Only 6 teams since the 76ers won in 1983....
Celtics
Rockets
Lakers
Pistons
Bulls
Spurs
I think that's part of the reason why the NBA has fallen so far in terms of popularity. Granted, the (lack of) ability for players to hit a mid range jumper has also contributed to their downfall but the lack of parody in the league is probably a big reason as well. Only 6 teams winning the title in the last 22 years is insane.

Yes, moron. I think the Sixers don't win because they have a six foot shooting guard hoisting up 35 shots a game as the focal point of their team.
Then I'm going to have to break it to you, but you don't know much about basketball.
Try to think of a legit argument without using personal insults while I watch some SNF. I'll be back later to make you look like a fool if you choose to carry this further.
You, once again, are retarted.

yeah, you guys are right, 30 points on 30 shots, that's what winning point guards do.

AI isn't a true point guard. Cheeks said it best. He's a basketball player. Point guard is just a label. He goes out and does what he can to help the team win games. People think point guards can't be guys that shoot a lot. They can when your best scorer is one. On top of that his passing is getting better and better. He has good instincts in drawing defenders and finding the open man. Does he shoot too much sometimes? Probably, but you can say that about a lot of players.
:-o
AI sucks! He shoots too much! They'll never win with him!
Guess what? If they didn't have him they wouldn't win more than 25 games a year. He is one of the premier players in the NBA.
So what if he shoots alot? He HAS to shoot for the TEAM to score points.
Is it his fault he has had a bunch of STIFFS playing alongside him? No.
For the last time let Sam Dalembert take 15 foot jumpers!!
I was thinking that Kyle Korver should be more of a post presence. Let him bang around down low and shoot sky hooks.

Yep. This goes along with a post I made on the previous page about this team possibly having the best supporting talent around Iverson since he's been in the league. There's still a good defensive presence on the team but now there are a few guys capable of putting the ball in the damn basket as well.
This team does have the most talent around AI. As a unit though I don't think it's better than the Finals squad. They just played so well together.

But that was a defensive oriented squad. And there really wasn't alot of "talent" on that team. That team was made up mostly of hustle guys like Snow, Lynch, Hill and McKie. Individually they're all average players at best. But collectively they were great.
The current roster has the most individual talent I've seen in quite some time. The question now is can they play together as a team like that 2001 Sixers did? I'm going to say no this year but if they can bring back the same starting 5 next year then maybe. That 2001 team had been together for about 2 or 3 years before they made it to the Finals.
That's what I was saying basically. I think this years team has the most talent AI's ever had around him, but as a unit the 2001 squad was the best team AI's been a part of. Like you said they played such great defense. Last year this team was terrible defensively, but we did put up enough points to win games. Hopefully Nailon cancels out the loss of Jackson and Hunter, Nailon improve the defense off the bench. Then Sammy needs to stay consistent. He's a good shotblocker, but not the best overall defender.

who do you suppose he gets more involved in the game? ever notice how many times his teammates stand around and do nothing on offense, or how many times they give him the ball back with 3 seconds on the shot clock? its called not having any talent around you. the only way the sixers can score points is with iverson doing what he does, otherwise we'd see a bunch of middle of the pack skill players like korver, igoudala (at least last year offensivley) and dalembert shoot more. yea, thatll help.
hey Mhunt, find one time I fluffed AI on this thread. You cant. I can find a bunch of times where you whine like your typical crybaby self. wah wah wah. hilarious.

kinda like how you're whining right now. ;D any time somebody critizes iverson, you & the other groupies get yourselves all worked up & start making excuses for iverson.
boo hoo...somebody said something negative about my hero....waaaaaaaahhhhh!
farging crybabies. :-D
keep on fluffin' while the sixers keep squeaking into the playoffs & losing in the 1st round.

the reason they don't move around is because they know that he is going to dribble the ball for almost the entire shot clock and either heave up a shot or pass the ball to someone with almost no time on the shot clock.

excellent rebuttal....you definitely don't whine & jump to ai's defense whenver he's criticized. :-D
there is nothing to rebut. I havnt said anything about AI in this thread. Just pointing out the crybabies are out early. Atleast you jumped at that real quick to acknowledge that really are one. to easy. :-D I'll let you gals alone now so you can carry on with your lipstick party.
more doubletalk.
a quick retreat.
and one last gay joke.
man, you're ON today. :-D
anyway...tomorrow's game is televised so we'll finally have something to talk about.
AI isn't the problem. The lack of decent depth on the bench, Webber's knees, Dalembert's inconsistency, and the lack of anyone remotely suited to play the SF position... those are problems.
whatever. the sixers are going undefeated this year.

every year, the thing everyone always said they needed was a "2nd scorer" and that's exactly what Van Horn, Kukoc, Hughes, etc were, they weren superstars, they weren't complete players, but they could shoot and they could score, and at the end of every year, they never had the numbers we thought they would have. why? because they weren't getting the ball like they should.
those guys are not 2nd options. they suck.

the first part is true, the second isn't. i bow down to the master fred carter.
but really, van horn was awful. kukoc was only good because of jordan. stackhouse is a bum. hughes and iverson were the same player, and he only did well playing behind two good players in arenas and jamison.
it doesn't really matter....the sixers could bring in tim duncan & iverson wouldn't pass him the ball.
QuoteSixers release forward Lamizana
Inquirer staff report
Philadelphia 76ers President Billy King announced today that the team has waived forward Herve Lamizana, according to a news release.
The Sixers roster now stands at 17 players.
Lamizana only appeared in one game this preseason, grabbing three rebounds in 13 minutes versus the San Antonio Spurs on Oct. 12, the Sixers said.
The 6 foot, 10-inch forward from Rutgers University was signed by the 76ers as a free agent on Oct. 3, 2005, before training camp.
this sucks, he was supposed to be a key contributor on my fantasy team.
We'll miss his mad skills, no doubt.
(http://www.injersey.com/hnt/photodept/jason/images/RU%20Basketball.jpg)
3 boards in 13 minutes...project that out to 48 minutes and he'd get 11.1 rebounds per game!
this guys is friggin awesome & i can't belive king let him go. :boo :boo :boo
iverson hated him and got him off the team
Sixers are playing the Knicks. AI and C Webb and Sammy are out. Sixers up 16 at end of first quarter. Iguodala playing very well so far and so is Gai. Gai is the next Ben Wallace. >:D
Speaking of AI :-D, the NBA needs to ease up on their off the court clothing policy. What a joke. :boo
I know it's only preseason, but I love the way Cheeks got the team playing. They are much more aggressive on defense. He's also got Salmons playing a lot better. He's driving a lot more. I love that. One of the gripes I had last season was the team not taking it inside more. It's important to get to the line and have the other teams in foul trouble early. If this team plays solid defense and takes it inside then the Sixers will win the division. My 3 keys to this season are:
Get more shots inside
Aggressive defense
Cut down on turnovers
If they Sixers do all those things, then they'll win the division despite the lack of depth on the bench.
they played some good TEAM basketball last night.
Johnny Salmons...has the light finally gone on for him? He played really well last night. At least he's stepped up from only doing good in summer leagues to the preseason. Maybe he'll be a contributor this year.
I also like how Kevin Ollie has played so far.
short answer? no.
John Salmons = Na Brown
Salmons is one of the streakiest players in the NBA. until he puts forth any kind of consistent performances I wont believe he has arrived.
here's some sixers trivia:
which sixer took 33 shots in 35 minutes of last night's preseason game?

Deng Gai?

Indeed. Its his contract year too...
AI2 was 7-20 last night. He took too many shots! He's not playing team ball! :P
For gods sake, get Mark Hendrickson and Ira Bowman some shots.
20 shots ::) ai1 can do that in a half. :boo :boo
get mds some shots, please.
yo i not be shootin, i tell all ya'all i be ira bowman.
wow sixers look awsome iversonless.
But they're playing team ball!!
And obviously Larry being in the building is providing the Knicks some karma and stuff.
Webber slimmed down, you can tell.
Hunter dropped 24/8 tonight against the Spurs. Webber had 20/12. The Spurs announcers were talking about how Webber looked the freshest he has in years.
go sixers. :yay
dalembert is out at least 10-14 days...and korver is hurt too, but i'm not sure how bad it is.
QuoteStarting small forward Kyle Korver hyperextended his left knee in Saturday's open practice at the Wachovia Center and was held out of yesterday's session, but Cheeks said, "I think he'll be ready to play."
considering that they have NO depth at sf...that's good news. ;D
it's not good news that he's still starting this year. he needs to come off the bench to be most effective.
QuoteInjuries give Thomas chance with Sixers
By TOM MOORE
phillyBurbs.com
PHILADELPHIA - James Thomas was with the Spurs for the entire preseason last October before being cut.
Thomas ended up playing briefly with the Trail Blazers, Cavaliers and Hawks during his rookie season, logging a total of 117 minutes in 11 games.
But he spent the bulk of the year with the NBDL's Roanoke Dazzle, earning Rookie of the Year honors by averaging 12.4 points and 13.3 rebounds.
Invited to Sixers' camp as a free agent, Thomas was a long shot to make the roster because team president Billy King already had 14 players with at least partially guaranteed contracts and didn't plan to carry more than 14.
But preseason injuries to starting center Samuel Dalembert (strained right quadriceps) and No. 4 big man Michael Bradley (right knee surgery), which are likely to keep them sidelined for another two to three weeks, changed King's thinking.
Not only is Thomas, a 6-8 rebounder, going to make the team - he could play in Tuesday night's opener against the Bucks.
Steven Hunter has stepped into the starting center spot, with Thomas and undrafted 6-9 rookie Deng Gai serving as the primary backups to Hunter and power forward Chris Webber.
"It feels good," said Thomas after Sunday's practice at the Wachovia Center. "The coaches have had faith in me since Day 1. They said if I work hard, something good will happen to me. That's what I did, and it did happen. But my journey's not over yet.
"Since I'm going to make the opening-day roster, I'm playing for minutes every day in practice because I do want to play."
Cheeks can also opt for a very small lineup, moving Andre Iguodala over to power forward and Webber to center, depending on the opponent.
"Compared to Sam, absolutely, we will be small," Cheeks said. "You've got to use what you have. Certainly, [Thomas] will not be up to Sam's caliber, but each day we're hoping that guy will get better and help our needs out.
"Any time a guy's hurt, I just usually put the next guy in, regardless of who it is. I don't bog my mind with worrying, 'This guy's out. That guy's out.' The reason why guys are on NBA teams is we feel like they can play. At the center spot, if somebody gets hurt, there's an opportunity for a guy to step in and play."
King repeated Sunday that he has no plans to bring in another big man.
"We're just trying to hold the fort for two weeks until everybody comes back," King said.
Korver sits out practice
Kyle Korver didn't practice Sunday. He sat out with a hyperextended left knee that he suffered Saturday, but Cheeks is optimistic that Korver will be ready for the opener.
"We've got to be smart about it," Cheeks said.

Here's Jim O'Brien's take on the Sixers on ESPn.com:
QuoteIverson and Webber must share the burden of leading the team as Maurice Cheeks becomes the fourth coach in less than two years. Both veterans need the ball, so striking the right balance will get them back in the playoffs.
Nice shot there about the coaches, Jim. You dope.
The sixers suck assfarg, chili burger tampons...whatever the hell that is.
Lakers suck!
QuoteSixers star Kyle Korver is movin' on up. And down.
The 24-year-old from small-town Iowa - whose third NBA season begins at home tonight with a tilt against the Milwaukee Bucks - has ordered an elevator for his just-completed $1.71 million Main Line house.
Lower Merion Township records show that he applied for a permit for the elevator, a $14,000 device that will stop on all three floors. (Stairs really beat up those ol' knees.)
In July, Korver signed a five-year contract worth more than $20 million, so it was assumed he'd set down roots here. His house - a four-bedroom, 31/2-bath Normandy in Gladwyne - is a solid three-point shot down the block from the crib of Phillies catcher Mike Lieberthal.
Korver will look a bit different tonight. Not only has he added 15 pounds of muscle in the off-season, he also went under the scissors over the weekend and looks a bit less shaggy. (He still could be Ashton Kutcher's younger, taller brother.)
Asked after practice if the haircut was his way of trying to look good for opening night, he replied: "It's my haircut for the year. It will last a long time, though. They went short on me, so I'll be ready for a while
what a lazy bum
Not sure if it was ever mentioned, but the Roanoke Dazzle will be the 76ers' NBDL affiliate, along with the Nets and Wizards...

Webber & AI looked good.
Everyone else? Meh.
Farg. :boo
and booooo
Webber had a great game. AI played ok not great. The rest of the team did nothing.
Offense went stale to the lowly Bucks. The Bucks are awful, a bad loss.
what lump job at the end. why was John Salmons getting consecutive shots late in the 4th quarter? enough already with him.
They could start the year 1-4 or 1-5.... :-\
BS
Detroit tomorrow night.
1-1.
;D
Detroit is awful. Saunder is gonna drive them into the ground.
booooooooooo
Remember that I told you all this team would likely not make the playoffs. Not enough talent.
why was John Salmons getting consecutive shots late in the 4th quarter? enough already with him
because he got gassed off himself in the first half when he scored on consecutive possesions...all of a sudden he thinks hes fennis dembo vs hawaii
why is kyle korver getting 35 minutes and lee nailon 20...why is kyle korver in the game with two minutes left and a lead...why is kyle korver starting...i effing hate kyle korver
korver is garbage...if he's not making shots, there's absolutely no reason to have him in the game.
overall, i kinda liked mo's offense...he actually called some set plays for guys other than ai & they played good team offense in the 1st quarter. there's a serious lack of talent though...especially at sg/sf.
Kyle's defense still looks zesty. But I'll wait until his knee is fully healthy to judge him to see if he got better.
Igoudala fouling out fargin killed them. He took that dumb foul by grabbing Redd's pants and when Redd nailed that 3 to tie it, AI2 should've been out there stickin him.
I loved what Webber did last night. Very nice to see.
The real test is how he'll respon tonight after playing 48 minutes last night.
I think they have a shot in DET tonight.

KKK was in the game because Iggy fouled out, but why he was on Redd and not Salmons, i don't understand. and if you are Korver, it has to be simple, you stare at Redds chest and you face guard him until the time runs out, why the hell he left him I will never understand.
as much as Iggy fouling out hurt them, the fact that their offense ground to a complete stop in the last 2 minutes is why they lost. one bucket down the stretch and they win the game.
All they had to do was foul Redd! 2 shots at the line and they can't tie it....

if you are down ten with two minutes left then korver is in the game...if youre up seven with two minutes left in the game you go with someone who can d up
korver is in game for one reason and one reason only and that is instant offense...its not like they have a low post presence that korver can thrive off of ala damon jones and shaq...they dont have anyone who can get him a shot and he sure as hell cant get his own shot...he should not be playing anymore than 20 minutes a game and he certainly should not be guarding anyone in the last minutes of a game in which you have the lead

why was John Salmons getting consecutive shots late in the 4th quarter? enough already with him
all of a sudden he thinks hes fennis dembo vs hawaii

Huh. Detroit beatin dat ass so far.
Why do the Pistons make like every shot when they play the Sixers?
The Celtics and Lakers are my most hated franchises, and as far as the NBA goes no franchise will ever overtake them. But boy, do I hate this current Pistons team. I hate them with a passion. Mason their PA guy makes the games unwatchable too. I hope he dies.
what the heck happened last night? i missed the game but caught some lowlights on csn.
2 points for korver. :boo

well, i'll tell you this, to start the game Korver was covering Rip Hamilton. that should give you a clue as to how overmatched they were last night.
I found the Knicks-Celtics game and the Raptors-Wizards games to be more entertaining.
Delonte West is a steal for Boston.
with webber and korver on the same team the sixers are excrutiating to watch...i dont even like watching webber score 30 as he did in the opener...hes finished...even after his made shots youre like how the hell did he do that...i cant stand him...and korver might be my most hated sixer since ron anderson
id much rather see them win 17 games while iggy salmons hunter dalembert ect all learn than to win 35 with webber and iverson shooting 60 times a game...i hate the willie green injury too
korver was guarding rip to start the game? :-D
and i found this quote on the yahoo game recap:
QuoteIverson looked and sounded frustrated midway through the third quarter.
He screamed at Andre Iguodala for not passing him the ball, then shouted, ``Hey!'' to his other teammates as Prince beat the Sixers back down the court for an easy dunk and a 65-50 lead midway through the third quarter.
nothing like some dissention in game 2. :paranoid
so far, Iggy looks lazy on defense
yup, its allens fault he and cwebb are the only two guys who can score.
Quote from: MDS on November 03, 2005, 09:36:59 AM

stop already.
did you like how your hero the point guard brought the ball down last night, early in the game, and had Iggy wide open for a 15 foot jumper but instead of setting up the offense hoisted up a 3 that barely hit the rim.
3 of the 5 starters are below average (if not horrible) defenders...that's a problem.
yea, hes my hero. definatley. but seriously, lets work it around and let korver headline the offense. and weve got to get james thomas and steven hunter involved. they are scoring machines.
this team isnt good. its not allens fault. or chris. they have no legit scoring option besides those two guys. look at the box from tuesday, i dont think anyone else was in double figures. and dont give me thats because those two take every shot. igy tried to improve his offensive game, but it doesnt appear it worked. korver is totally outmatched and out of his league being a starting 3 in nba game. any team can easily exploit his non-existent defense, and can make him beat the defender off the dibble as opposed to just chuckin shots from the outside. but hey, korver cant do that. hes a three point specialist. they play like 20 minutes a game. and come off the bench. this is mostly kings fault for having no depth on his team, and not having a plan b after willie green got hurt. i think theyll beat the bobcats though. and what an awsome win that could be.
ummm....ai & webber do take all the shots.
and the entire team had only 11 assists last night...no passing or working the ball around to the open man. :boo
last night is not the game to judge the team on...detroit is on another planet than the sixers...not to mention their rotation is really in a shambles without dalembert...
the milwaukee opener and charlotte tomorrow nite are more their speed...they are gonna get merked against the good teams hopefully split with the milwaukkes of the world and beat the bad teams
its also to early to judge their defense being that they are playing a brand new system and have yet to play with a full squad
i just hope iggy and dalemberts development doest get retarted by giving 90% of the shots to iverson and webber...then again webber will be hurt by new years and that will open up some shots to go around
Quote from: mhunt on November 03, 2005, 09:47:08 AM

Why I don't watch the NBA and barely even consider it basketball. The basketball I grew up watching was a team sport. This fiasco of a league is nothing resembling a team sport.
you would have enjoyed last night then...detroit runs a passing clinic in general and especially when they play the sixers

The Pistons actually are one of the only teams I can handle watching. Not surprisingly they don't have any superstars.
It's funny hearing people trash Korver for his horrendous defense, then he gets benched and Iggy short-jumps an easy dunk while Steven Hunter gets a dunk blocked. The offense (from what i could tell) looked completely lost and the entire team decided not to attempt to defend. If Dalembert is going to be out for another couple weeks the Sixers could be digging a huge hole to climb out of.
korver's offense stinks too, btw. ;D
the korver resigning/contract was inexcusable...like a mini version of the koncak deal...korver is a POS who will not even be in this league in three years...no one knew who he was last year...and the minute the league familiarized themselves with him he disappeared at the end of the season and in the playoffs
his offense may actually end up being worse than his defense if thats even possible
Billy the King is the best GM evAR.
yeah, the sixers have lost 2 games cause of Korver. :-D

well, one for sure. he let Redd tie the game with a 3 pointer
and his terrible defense on Rip to start last night didn't help either.
true...i know you can't blame a loss on 1 guy.....but if you could, it would be kyle. his offense & defense have been non existant.
its hard to be non existent when you play 36 minutes...whats its been is horrid...i wish it was non exisitent...like to the tune of 12-15 minutes a game

There's 3 reasons why the Sixers are 0-2.
1. No defense.
2. Besides AI and C Webb, no one on the team has been hitting any of their shots. Iguodala is not a jump shooter, and Korver is not an anything right now(on both sides of the ball).
3. No rebounding. They gave up way too many offensive boards.
Sixers should sign Sprewell if Korver continues to play this bad. At least he can take it inside and hit a mid range shot.
yea, sprewell. lets just get him.

Give all the shots to Salmons tonight.
Bench AI & CWebb and give em all to Johnny Salmons and Stephen Hunter.
Then they'll get blown out by 40 but hey, at least someone other than the best two players on the team will get some shots. ;)
Thank god the NHL is back.

Hosting the Bobcats tonight, who blew a 25-pt lead w/ 7 minutes left at Chicago the other night....
so your saying expect a 0-3 start.
they better win. its time to get steve castleberry involved. i dont care if he got cut, iverson cant take all the shots. we can win unless these other guys get shots. ai is a ballhog. booo.

The Sixers blew a 20ish pt lead to the Bobcats last year. That was ugly.
Not a good start. :-\
Iggy passes up a dunk and goes for an easy layup at the beginning and misses it.
Korver is playing like a hot pile of shtein. Missing shots, throwing balls out of bounds and backcourt.
53-44 Charlotte right now.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
What the farg >:(
63-46 lead now.
Charlotte on the 16-2 run
What the farg is wrong with these losers?!
Iggy = 4 fouls
Korver = 4 fouls
Still 8:00 to go in the 3rd with Charlotte leading by 14 and these clowns have 4 fouls already.
Hunter has 3 too.
This is disgusting.
What is going on with this team? I just checked the score! My god. Charlotte? Charlotte?
Thank god for the Flyers.

i cant believe they have webber for three more years...korver at least can be moved since his contract is outrageous...well its outrageous for how pathetic he is but he can be moved and should be immediately...hes the worst non mop up player in the nba
I think we need another "myth of Kyle Korver's shooting greatness" thread.
sixers getting destroyed by the pacers will be on nba tv. they are awful.
sixers lead 71-58 in the 3rd. :paranoid
korver has 11 pts & 8 assists so far.
holy crap...if yahoo's box score is correct, the sixers are shooting 63% from the field. :o
ai is 6-16...the rest of the team is 24-30 :P
74-58 now.
holy crap their up by 20
all 5 starters are in double figures already. :yay
uhhh...their lead's down to 5 with 6 minutes remaining. :paranoid
up 2 with 35 seconds left.
to a free throw shooting contest. looks like they might escape.
yay...they won 111-109.
only 11 turnovers tonight...great job! :yay
all 5 starters in double figures :yay
ai struggled from the field (11-29) but had 29 pts & 12 assists...and only 3 turnovers :yay
not counting ai, the rest of the team shot 30-45...67%...that's sick! :yay
i wish mo would quit putting in korver at the end of games with a lead...they almost got burned by it again with the two jackson threes...that second to last possesion he finally put salmons and he bodied jackson into a miss...its not rocket science mo...korver cant defend
great win though...stepehen hunter stepped up big time on both ends of the floor...i was hoping when dalembert went down it would be a blessing in disguise as it may let hunter get some valuable pt and develop a little back to the basket game...maybe tonite was a step towards that
TO - L
penn st - W
flyers - W
sixers - W
couldnt have been a better day
I am very impressed with Hunter. He does not rebound good for a 7 footer, but he has a nice shot and good hands. This is going to end up being a really good signing.
Very good win tonight. Webber is impressing this year and so is Hunter. Korver and Iguodala finally had good games and we played really good defense most of the game. That was the difference.
I'm not really shocked that they almost pissed away a 20 point lead.
I really like what Webber has shown so far this year...
Korver kinda got out of that shooting funk, let's hope he stays out of it.
I also love the Stephen Hunter signing. One big difference between him and Sammy D is that when AI or someone feeds him a nice pass is doesn't clang off his hands.
IGY, I thin the reason why Mo puts Korver in (and Obie did this too) is because he's the best FT shooter on the team percentage wise.
Don't get your hopes up, folks.
IGY, I thin the reason why Mo puts Korver in (and Obie did this too) is because he's the best FT shooter on the team percentage wise.
maybe up two with 10 seconds left and inbounding the ball you put korver in...but not up seven with two minutes left...you need stops at that point and korver cant stop anyone
Don't get your hopes up, folks
definitely not...im not asking for anything more than a .500 year...i just want them to be watchable and develop the youngins

Speedy Claxton, Nazr Mohammed and Glenn Robinson have rings, while AI and Webber don't. Gotta love the NBA....

This team does not have enough talent. Arguing about whether or not A.I. is taking too many shots is silly.
i would like to see them play when Dalembert gets back, that increases the bench depth dramatically. the Indiana win was a good one, they just have to replicate that effort each night, that's all. :paranoid

farg you...you know nothing about the game of basketball if you don't think iverson is a selfish ballhog. it's always his teammates fault...yeah right :-D maybe he should actually pass the ball to whoever's open...what a concept...it's called team basketball. instead, he jacks up bad shots & shoots less than 40% year after year while his fanclub blames everyone else. next game, take notice to how many zero-pass posessions the sixers have where ai takes the ball down the court & never gives it up...it's hilarious. after 10 years in the league, he still doesn't get it. :-D
again. who is he going to pass it to? tell me names. besides chris webber, who gets his points so theres no complaint.

he dribbles around for what seems like forever....then he tries everything possible to get off a shot....as a last resort, if everything else has failed, he passes the ball. sometimes he gets assists from doing that...sometimes he gets turnovers.

don't even dare to compare the two as point guards, Kidd runs circles around MeI

Sixers are actually playing some defense and rebounding better. It's far and away the difference in the last 2 games. Even with Dirk out, the Mavs are a talented squad. Let's keep the ball rolling against the lakers tomorrow.
I was impressed with AI2 and Korver last night. Both AI and CWebb were off all night and those two kept them in it and then helped pull away.
James Thomas showed me a little something too. If he can stay out of foul trouble he can be a big help crashing the boards.
I also liked Igoudala's comments after the game. Dei Lynam was asking him about how Mo went to him and asked him what offensive sets he liked and stuff like that so they could get him going offensively and Iggy told Mo to keep it the same and he'd score that way and by getting boards.
Keep the momentum going at home...Clip Joint is coming to town tomorrow night with Alien Sam and Cuttino Mobley leading the way.

Yeah, I forgot about those losers.
The Sixers should beat them. Kobe will likely get his 30-40 and he's all they've got. Well, that dude Smush Parker (cool name, but where the farg did he come from?) is scoring a bit too.
Kwame Brown is a car wreck. Lamar Odom is streaky.
Sixers are 2.5 favorites with an o/u of 206.
i think kwame will eventually be a real nice player...i watched a couple laker games this year on the package and hes completely lost in the triangle offense...like hes thinking where he heeds to be instead of just doing it....once he learns it i think hell be a good addition...then again like you said smush came out of nowhere and seems to be mastering it...
I don't know about Kwame, man. He was terrible in Washington and doesn't seem to get it yet. Maybe Phil can get through to him though...
So far the Sixers are playing good defense...the Lakers have 5 turnovers already and only 9 points with 4:00 to go in the 1st.
farg THE LAKERS!!!!! :)
The 3 from Salmons with 1:30 left was huuuuuuuuGE!!
Can't believe this team blew the first 3 to crappy teams then rebounded against 3 playoff teams. It's now a whole new season :yay
farg LA
farg KOBE
farg PHIL
farg THEIR BANDWAGON WEAK LOSER FANS
GO SIXERS!! :yay
smush parker went to steal the ball for korver, and left iverson open for the game winner. way to think, smush :yay
nice!!!!!!!!! :yay :yay :yay :yay
I was on the phone with Chuggie towards the very end of the game. When Kobe missed his potential game winning shot I laughed at him.

nice win last night :yay
it's early but i gotta give ai credit for reducing his turnovers so far this season....4.6 per game last year is down to 2.5 this year with a 3-1 assist/turnover ratio. let's hope he keeps it up.

give the sixers a lot of credit for coming back hard after the horrific start...i still despise webber but i love this team...just wish willie g was around
can't wait till dalemburts (sp?) back. this team might playoff pretend up until the end of the season. i doubt they'll get in but it would be nice to give the young bucks a taste of a playoff race.

yes...he does still shoot too much...and he's shooting a horrible percentage.
but at least he's decreased his turnovers so far...asking him to stop taking bad shots might be too much to ask for though. he's only been in the league for 10 years...you can't expect him to learn everthing at once.
hes not michael jordan. booooo.
farg Michael Jordan. Raging farging douchebubble.

i still despise webber but i love this team
i wanna know what all the people who said, "he looks fresher and quicker this year" were looking at. i still see the same old, hobbling player that played last year. anytime he plays with his back to the basket he's a turnover waiting to happen.
I'm one who thinks CWebb looks better this year. To me he does by far.
He didn't do much against the Lakers, but he's been pretty good this year.
Let's put it this way...
Webber >>>>Van Softie
Webber >>>> the other #2 scorers who they paraded in and out of here.
Webber looks a lot fresher this year. It's night and day. He moves quicker, he can actually give a shot fake and drive inside. He can actually rotate on defense. He did have microfracture surgery, so he will never be the Chris Webber of old, but he is a lot fresher than last season. Last game was a bad night for him, but besides that he's looked very good. His jump shot has been a bit off this year, but he's been very solid inside. Something he was terrible at last season. He had no lift inside.
Anyone who can't see Webber is lighter and much more fresh this year is retarded.
The Sixers are in 1st place in the Atlantic Division :-D

He definitly looks better lets see how long he can keep it up. I see him wearing down bigtime after the AS break. Hope I'm wrong but it's been that way with him for the last couple of seasons.
Who the hell is Lee Nailon and why is he scoring 21 points tonight?
AI's having a nice game so far too. 23 pt (50%), 10 ast, 5 stl, 4 reb. Yup, he's terrible.
Sixers up 103-91 with about 4:30 left.
Sixers Win. 4 in a row with the Raptors up next. :yay
Nailon was big tonight. Great game by him. He picked up the slack for Webber being off tonight.
Is it me or is Korver's defense getting much better?
Oh yeah...
I think Chris Kaman quite possibly is the ugliest motherfarger on the face of the planet. He should go right to the top of GCobb's "All Ugly" list.
Korver still is slow footed, but he's showing a lot more hustle and intensity. Next up are the lowly Raptors.

He finished the game with 28 points and shot 9-20. So it's just a shade under 50% for the night. Not too shabby.
Not only have the Sixers won 4 straight, but they've beat quality opponents. The Pacers, Mavs, Lakers, and Clipps are all quality teams. It's not like they've racked up wins against the Raptors, and the Hawks.
No, it's against the scrubs that they've gotten beat. Which is frustrating. This team should be looking at 6-1 or even 7-0 right now.

he's still slow and can't play any defense.
Would anyone be surprised to see this team lay an egg against the Raptors?

heck yeah i'd be surprised. It took the team three games to get used to playing together as a team. They're winning out!
ok, i wouldn't really be surprised if they crapped one down their pant leg vs. the Raptors. I'm just trying to be enthusiastic.
holy crap...iverson almost made 1/2 of his shots....what an accomplishment! :paranoid :-D
and webber does look better this year but he's playing too many minutes, imo...mo needs to keep him around 30 mpg or he's not gonna last.

Morris Peterson is getting fed up in Toronto, he's not starting because they want a rookie to start.
I'd trade for MoPete, start im at the 2, move Iggy to the 3 and bring Korver off the bench.
trade what ???
I'd take MoPete too.
Trade Toronto the #1 pick in 2006. Why not? Billy's used to not having a #1 pick so he'll get by.
I don't think they can trade it because they've already traded next year's #1...
:-D
For real? Who the hell did they trade next years #1 for?
to Atlanta for Glenn Robinson a few years ago :boom
Christ. :boom :-D

that's the problem...
Salmons and Michael Bradley? that probably won't get it done.
According to RealGM, Peterson for Ollie and Salmons works.... :deion

the only problem with that is that your backup point guard is the rookie
yeah, that's the only problem :paranoid
(although Toronto did take Araujo ahead of Iggy last year)
I say stop making trades. Sure, Mo Pete is probably a better player than Salmons but at least Salmons isn't bitching for more playing time. I'd hate for him to screw up team chemistry and get suspended for conduct detrimental to the team.
dont give them salmons and ollie. just one. throw in mike bradley. then id do it. anyway we can move korver back to the bench, im all for it.

I could've sworn the pick in the Big Dog trade was the 2007 draft.
I want nothing to do with Mo Pete though. The Radman has been rumored to possibly being shipped out of Seattle. If I were the Sixers I'd go strong after him.
It is. That's what I meant, but I worded it wrong. Phreak wants to trade the '06 one.
I'd go after Radmanovic before Mo Pete, but if we can't get Radmanovic I'd wait until the deadline to see who else besides Mo Pete is being shopped. Mo Pete back in 2001/2002 would've been nice, but he hasn't been the same player for a while. He's been inconsistent. Don't want him.
39-20 after ONE quarter. :-D
They gave up 20 points to Toronto in one quarter? They suck.
And of course, the Raptors throw up 11 points in a row to start the second quarter.
HA!
AI and Webber each have a double-double, and they're up by 14 with 3 minutes left... :yay
so i guess their not that bad
I disagree, MDS. The Raptors are clearly atrocious.
:-D
Could it be?! A blue collared shirt with a dark suit jacket on AI?! :-D

I got great seats. Right next to Alvin Williams right next to the Raptors bench. I was mocking them all game it was fun.
Too bad you weren't sitting on the Sixers side....you could have gotten AI's sneakers....
P.S. -- great crowd support :P
Wait....so you might appear on the CSN replay at 1:30....
During the game every time a Raptor put up a shot I yelled "COMIN OFF, REBOUND REBOUND HE'S NOT A SHOOTER." and I'd look over at Alvin Williams and Eric Williams. They were laughing and whispering to each other. Then eventually when Iguodala shot the ball they'd try to mock me and go "HE'S NOT A SHOOTER". I had to get back at them so I waited for Iguodala to make a shot and I yelled "YOU GOTTA STICK HIM, HE'S A SHOOTER"
It was pretty funny. Before the end of the half Hunter missed a shot, and I yelled, cmon man don't shoot a shot like that and Eric Williams looked over at me and said "Exactly".
crowd support...coming from the guy who hasnt been to philly in like three years :-D
sixers tickets are ridiculous. their not really good and the prices are too high. they dont have the "cult" following the flyers do, so they cant get by on the same 20,000 showing up for every game.
and all during the game I'd yell little stuff like, CMON SOLDIER YOU GOTTA PLAY DEFENSE, to Jalen Rose, because he has a tattoo on his arm that said "Soldier."
I also got on Matt Bonner, it was funny. Alvin Williams and Eric Williams were making fun of Michael Bradley.
Roc, what were you wearing at the game? I'm going to check if you showed up on TV....
MDS :flipoff I was there last month....
Westbrook jersey, Eagles hat and sweats. My friend said he saw me during the game. My friend was sitting next to me with an AI jersey and sweats.

ooo, once a year? howzah!
Ok, I am officially impressed with Johnny Salmons. He is aggressive to the hoop and he is shooting nicely from outside the lane. Probably doing well because it is his contract year and he wants Billy to overpay him, but I like what he's showing.
CWebb had 16 boards last night and AI had 12 dimes. Nice.
Once Dalembert comes back the depth will be much better with Hunter coming off the bench. Plus Dalembert will help with his athleticism. Now I just hope that he's worked on his Torrance Small hands.

that's what I am waiting for. I want to see how he plays with expectations now. Before, he was just a project from the draft. But now, he's making big money and he needs to be a force in the paint and stay out of foul trouble.
According to AI, Salmons is relaxed this year because he doesn't have coaches yelling at him. Sounds like Rolen...

helps that the coach is actually playing him too
Holy shtein they're on fire right now!
Sixers are 12/16 from the field right now!
5/5 from beyond the arch!
33-17 in the 1st
god do the raptors suck
Now 10 straight buckets
6 straight for AI
Ai is 1 point away from 17,000 for his career
mike bradley sighting. oh my.
Iggy 6/8 from beyond the arc? Whaaaaa??
Raptors have the higher shooting % and the higher free throw %, and the same amount of turnovers. Yikes.
thats why i traded shawn marion for iggy in my fantasy league...jeah
Sixers playing very well.
i see they still dont play any defense.
Who does play defense anymore these days? Scores are in the 100's every night.
detroit and san antonio. amazingly, they will probably meet in the finals again.
The difference between a win and a loss basically comes down to playing defense on one posession. So why waste the energy doing it during the first 47.5 minutes if you don't have too? :D
