garnett out for the playoffs 12 hours after the sixers win to avoid boston

garnett out for the playoffs 12 hours after the sixers win to avoid boston
like it would matter
Sweep is imminent.
exactly.
Im pretty sure Boston played damn well without him this year when he was hurt all those games
Good luck to all my Sixers friends.
And by "good luck" I mean die screaming.
garnett missed the final 25 or so games of the year and the celtics still won 62 games. without garnett, the celtics are the eastern conference runners up rather than nba finalists.
they would still sweep the sixers but they arent even close to the same team without garnett...they could easily lose to orlando miami or atlanta
hell atlanta took them to seven last year with garnett
how could they lose to orlando? sixers are winning that series, no?
going into philly up 2-0 orlando might nap thru a game three loss then win the next two but its not going longer than 5
so, are you saying this is a lie?

Fine. The Sixers will lose game 5 but win game 6.
phreak you are an unearthly large homer and you might not admit it but part of you thinks they can pull it off. this will especially evident if they are in the game after 1 qtr
igy no one cares about hockey, i think you know this. south of the mason dixon line it doesnt even exist.

Pander to your audience, sportswriter. Pump up the home team fans!
How on earth would I think that a team who has lost 7 straight is going to beat anyone let alone an Orlando team who can ball?
they won last night hater
haha hes back on now
Back on what?
the bandwagon silly
I want them to win, but it ain't happening. It'd be a miracle. Has any team ever gone in so cold and won a game yet alone a series?
15 minutes....let's see what they can do. I'm not too optimistic, and I hope somehow they can control Howard on the boards. If they can get out and run, they have a shot. But if Orlando makes it a half-court game they are gonna get whipped.
Hope I'm wrong but Orlando in 4
16-11. Believe, bitches!
At least they came to play

let howard have his...ill give him 25 pts worth of dunks if it means the magic didnt hit 10 three pointers in the game...key to the series is defending the three
Ratliff found the fountain of youth
Got them right where *we* want them.
I didn't think I could hate Chris Webber any more than I already do.
Good showing in the first half; although I'd like to see someone defend Courtney farging Lee while he's ripping off 11pt runs.
Limited the turnovers...I would like to see them drive a bit more though...

the boys are looking good again.
Refereeing has been brutal the last 3 minutes. The first rebound hit the wire behind the hoop, THEN the ball went off Turkolgouoiuuuu's leg, and now Howard walks. Jeez.

Oh yeah!!
Helluva day today...I had the same reaction as you all when Iggy choked away the FT's. But his jumper was fargin money. I thought it wasn't going in, but [steve fredericks] BANG![/fredericks]
Donyell Marshall is a goddamn pimp. To fight back from 18 down was amazing. There is a glimmer of hope....
On a side note, my hatred of Comcast went up another notch. The whole damn game on TNTHD was choppy. Sometimes it was so bad the pic would freeze and I would have to change channels and flip back to get it to work. AFter Iggy drained the shot, as soon as Orlando was about to inbound the ball it went black. When it came back, it was already on the ATL game.
I called them and bitched, but they said it was the channel and not the feed. I don't believe it. Motherfargers.
i didn't have any problems with my feed. your cable co is full of poo.
also, after iggy made that shot and orlando took a to, why where they allowed to inbound the ball on their side of the court instead of having to go the full length?

Because this isn't the NCAA.
Quote from: NBA Rulesg. If a 20-second timeout is requested by the offensive team during the last two minutes of the fourth period and/or any overtime period and (1) the ball is out-of-bounds in the backcourt (except for a suspension of play), or (2) after securing the ball from a rebound and prior to any advance of the ball, or (3) after the offensive team secures the ball from a change of possession and prior to any advance of the ball, the timeout should be granted. Upon resumption of play, the team granted the timeout shall have the option of putting the ball into play at the 28' hash mark in the frontcourt or at the designated spot out-of-bounds. If the ball is put into play at the hash mark, the ball may be passed into either the frontcourt or backcourt. If it is passed into the backcourt, the team will receive a new 8-second count.
I think it's a pretty bad rule.
some huge nba fans in this thread
and its an excellent rule
yeah...that's how it works in the nba. it's been that way forever. the one new rule i noticed is every ball that's knocked out bounds is automatically off philly & orlando gets the ball.
fargers.

why were some guys getting 3 points instead of 2 for some of those long shots?
"It's also that Philadelphia style of play. Just the city itself is grindy - everybody is a hard worker. I think, as a team, we bring that to the table as well." - Andre Iguodala
all praise due dre dog
Grindy isn't a word.
get yo grindy on kid!
You know what we keep in the lining?
dont hurt em AM
and can someone light willie green on fire for me
Got any spare matches?
Need someone besides Thad and Miller to step up.
Spare some for Sammy too?
So ugly so far. Lou is playing terribly, Sammy is a moron as usual, and Iggy is back into playoff disappearing mode.
i cant believe how bad they have played this half...im not exaggerating when i say one of the worst of the season....if they can have this under 10 it would be amazing
As bad as they've played their still in it and the Magic haven't impressed me. Just keep it somewhat close to the end and make a move.
this game is crazy
sixers have a golden opportunity with dwight on the bench

i cant believe how many incredibly stupid plays theyve made on both ends tonight...one thing is making a mistake hustling...but the amount of awful switches and horrible passes is maddening
and moronic ball handling like that.
somehow in this game despite all of this.
god this is so frustrating...they have had a gaggle of chances..magic are shooting horrible..sixers just cant get three or four buckets in a row
wow thats a bad call but take it and run
miller time rj!
Christ box the farg out.
Is it wrong that all of this Miller Lite talk has resulted in a noticeable increase in my consumption over the last few days?
where the farg is donny marsh you need pts dileo you stupid guido
you dont need to bring him when its five...at that point theres plenty of time left and stops are more important
now what
yeah now might be a good time
I love Miller. He's been such a good Sixer.
Nice strip by Iggy but Hedo bailed out.
well they aint a good team we know that, but even a halfway decent one would have won this game
oh well the 15k who go friday better get it done
only thing i dont like about miller in games like this when he starts hot he then starts gunning when as an excellent passing point he should use his early scoring to set up his passing...instead he ends up taking 20+ shots...which he should never do...when he was underneath the basket a second ago one on three he should have kicked it out for a three

Truth.
I just wish he had a consistent 3 point shooter to kick the ball out to. He probably would do it more if he wasn't passing it out to Lou or AI.
15K really? that bad of support? farg what I would give to live closer so my kids could see more philly games. When I got home today the driveway was chalked out like a court with our one hoop, and my boys tike hoop at the other end. In the middle circle, a nice 76ers. I fargin love my wife and boy he is a die hard fan at 5. Plus he could probably submit any member of the DTC in a wrestling match, he's got mad skills!! :-D
i would farging chin check that chain smoking euro piece of trash if he talked to me like that
1. What kind of rotation was that farg DiLeo using?!
2. Can anyone on this team box someone the farg out? They got whipped on the boards all night long.
3. And why was that little icehole Lee left alone half the time? Especially on that three he hit...Miller's standing there looking at him. Wake up!
4. Speaking of Miller...despite the hot start, his ball handling was bad at times tonight. Several bad turnovers.
5. Shot selection....piss poor. Why throw up 18 footers so easily? Drive the ball. Look what happened when Iggy started driving to the hoop.
6. Iggy...nice to see ya finally hit a bucket with 9 mins to go in the 3rd.
This Magic team is beatable. They cannot hold leads. The Sixers should be up 2-0.
Oh, and did y'all see the chowderhead holding up the sign that said "Nobody beats the Magic twice in Van Gundy's House"? Definition of gay.
You're right. It's much gayer than someone wearing an NFL jersey at Macchu Picchu.

Yeah, but you know the guy is prone to fouls. Maybe if you drive to the hoop more you put him in position to get out of the game quicker.
I will say that they have done a good job on Lewis and Eurotrash on the perimeter. But when Johnson and Lee start getting outside, they can't seem to hold them down.
Speaking of Eurotrash....#13 is one ugly farger. Did ya see the beak on that dinosaur?
they need to turn the tables and pound the ball into dalembert so howard will get in foul trouble trying to stop him.

Not necessarily pound it into Dalembert, but rather have Young and Iggy drive the ball into the lane. Or have Miller dribble drive and hope to find an open man. I hate, hate, hate when teams settle for jumpers especially when they are gettin' run on.
Sammy has to stay outta foul trouble.
And DiLeo has to get a decent rotation going.

Sucks to blow the lead, but an exciting finish. Damn why they gotta give me heart attacks?

lol guess you missed game one...or the laker game in la
iguodala definitely stiffens up when he has to think about stuff but to call him a choker is to not have watched their games this year
series would be minimum 2-1 orlando without iguopdala
oh and ill be there sunday...would have been there tonight if my girl hadnt just got back from a two week trip overseas
Iggy is a mini Ryan Howard--when he lets his natural instincts take over he's great. When he has to think about what he's doing his mind gets in the way of his body.
Howard's always been better with his glove than his arm because he lets his natural athletic ability take over. Iggy is the same way.
That doesn't mean he doesn't have value or the team would be better off without him--just don't put him on the line with the game in his hands because he becomes too self aware.
i agree and if you look back in this thread i rip him when he deserves it but does anyone else in the nba have more than two game winning buzzer beaters this year?...including one in the playoffs?...all im saying is you cant call him a choker
I liked how they attacked the rim tonight. They didn't settle for those trashy jump shots like they did in game two. That was the biggest reason for winning I think.
Everytime I see Turkoglu's face I want to punch my tv.

I've said it before... the NBA is like watching paint dry to me. Go Sixers, Go Magic, who cares. It's all the same to me.
Rooting for laundry, or errands?
I was watching Shane Victorino put it to the Fishes.
You're not a Marlins fan?
the scoreboard resembles a high school game. 36 all at the half.
Feels like its been 2 hours since the last bucket (just as I say that Green -who's having a good night - hits a 3)
horrible clock management on that last posession.
couple of good possessions though and they've cut it to 5.
is there a player in the nba worse handling the ball in transition than igoudala?
Their offense looks terrible now. I always worry when a bad 3 pt shooting team decides they are going to make a lot of 3s in a half. Sure enough, they come out in the 2nd half and decide they can keep shooting jumpers. Eventually the percentages catch back up with them.
Still just jacking up jumpshots.
Ok the Magic are at the foul limit with 8:30 left in the game. Go to the farging hoop (and make FTs)

they only decide to do become a 3pt team because they know Howard will swat/alter their shtein if they come in the lane. You already saw what happens when he Howard sits on the bench...they all want to to take it strong to the hole
They know what Howard does. They still need to go to the hoop because they aren't a jumpshooting team.
Lou has been atrocious this entire series. Jeez.

preaching to the choir brother...perfect example right there
Miller has a fast break and the 2 others with him spread on the wing. the same shtein happens in the half court..these guys dont consistently cut to the basket leaving your guard alone one-on-one or one-on-two. shtein is tough to watch
pathetic display. god they infuriating.

conclusion: Magic get this last second basket--please prove me wrong

Stupid Eurotrash.
That was a terrible play but a great shot by Hedo.
the sixers looked like eagles receivers on that inbound attempt. they just couldn't beat the press coverage to get open.

Those terrorists all look the same to me.
thad completely lost his mind on that last posession...had no clue for what the time and situation called for...why would back up on a jab step with 2 seconds left against a shooter who has no handle....youth sucks
I thought the same thing. I screamed at the TV to get in his face. If Hedo blows by you and hits a runner or contested layup to win the game, then I'll live with it. Not a 3 like that though.
hows he gonna hit a runner when hes 24 feet from the basket with three seconds left and cant dribble
thats my whole point he had zero chance to take it to the hoop...theres no reason not to be wearing his jersey there much less falling for a weak ass jab step
not the first time young has pulled this shtein this season. they are what they are i suppose.
Frustrating to see them come out so cold tonight. They couldn't hit shtein. And another game where they completely ignore the lane and jack up jumpers. Especially when ORL was at the limit. But then again, would they even hit the FTs if they got to the line?
Is Lou Will retarded?
As soon as Trashy Hedo stood there I knew he was gonna jack up a three...oo bad Thad gave him that room to get off a clean shot.
Terrible loss.
thad's a pretty bad defender.
turkey glue said the play was for him & lewis to pick and roll...whoever wound up with thad guarding them would take the last shot.
its like de ja vu here with thads brain lapse again, except there was no pick and roll play executed on the Magics part
you come out of a timeout well aware of the time on the clock....at some point you have to know that the friggin thing is winding down to 3 seconds, since Turg is holding the ball FOREVER.
how it doesnt click in to pressure and man up tight at that point is beyond me. thats flat out scared basketball right there
half time is the worst thing ever for this team
How about the refs swallow their whistles for awhile?
Goddamn...every time someone in black touches someone in white, namely Dwight Howard, its a goddamn foul.
Howard gets star treatment, nothing they can do about it.
so in a minute and a half, with 3:30 to go in the 4th sammy picks up 2 goaltending calls?
never in my life have I seen a more uneducated basketball player
What a zesty game.
Once again, they settle for jumpers and can't hit nary a one. Dalembert and Ratliff get into foul trouble early and its an easy path to the bucket for Howard and anyone else. Donyell Marshall can't defend a lick and Reggie Evans couldn't either.
They looked disoriented and sloppy.
The refs blew everything. There was no flow to the game at all.
7 years later, Dalembert is still retarded

He gets more than the star treatment. They'll just blow a whistle if someone looks at him funny.
QuotePhiladelphia coach Tony DiLeo said Howard should have been called for 3 seconds in the lane several times and asked the league to look into an elbow from Howard on Samuel Dalembert.
"Dwight Howard had a great game, and he's a great player, but he just lives in the 3-second lane on offense and defense," DiLeo said. "I'm just saying he's standing in the 3-second lane on offense and defense. He's a great player, and he doesn't need any advantages."
Magic coach Stan Van Gundy heard DiLeo's remarks, took the podium and defended his star center by taking a shot at DiLeo.
"Am I supposed to come up here and talk about the game. Or am I supposed to come up here and lobby for the calls I want the next game?" Van Gundy said. "Is that what it's about now? We're supposed to lobby for the calls we want the next game? Let's just play the games.
"I guess that's the only reason Dwight's having success in this series. It has nothing to do with the fact that he's good."
dick
DiLeo would kick the shtein out of Ron Jeremy. He is such a bitch, and he's a horrible coach. The Magic will never win anything with that loser of a coach.
Oh, and that isn't our business? Ok, he just tried to knock Sammy unconscious, but it isn't the DiLeo's business.
Hoyda.
farging flags.
Barkley and Kenny think it's a lock that Howard gets suspended for game 6. hmm
there is a 0% chance they win game 7 unless stern suspends him for 2 games. howard is an unstoppable beast and him pissed off will beat the ever loving shtein out of farging sam dalembert and that fossil theo ratliff.
sixers full court game disappeared last night...not enough rebounds not enough turnovers
they will win game 6....book it
I think they win 6 too.
Any word on if Lee is going to play and what happened to him? Concussion? I didn't catch the elbow by Howard, but I can't see the NBA suspending Howard. Not after David Stern spooged all over himself when talking about him on TV.
Damn that was a frustrating game to watch.

Thug.
Remember when fighting used to be a part of professional basketball? Well, neither do I because I was too young at the time, but can you imagine someone popping you in the face with an elbow in real life and not doing something about it? Just looking around and saying, 'Hey, didn't anyone see that? Wah!'?
I mean, I haven't been in a fight in years and even when I was younger I preferred to avoid them since I don't find it all that enjoyable to beat or be beaten when I'm innocently enjoying a few dozen beers and making fun of everyone's stupid face. But if someone dropped an elbow on my jaw you can bet I'd be swinging and not standing there like a little bitch looking around for someone to notice.
In short, fighting should be re-introduced to the NBA, as god intended. (http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=1FB139CF3602E15D&search_query=kermit+washington+punch)
Lee has a fractured sinus and is out for game 6. Nothing on Howard yet...
If there was a Sixer with balls enough to actually throw an elbow you guys would all be in here singing his praises.
You're worse than taterskins fans in this thread (with apologies to rjs who actually seems to get it).
you like a team called the "magic"...think about that next time youre about to post in this thread
should there be fighting in the nba? i don't think so. i'm all for hard, physical play though. i thought the rondo foul on brad miller was great. no flagrant there.
howard's elbow to dalembert? definitely uncalled for. however, you take an elbow like that, then consequences be damned, you throw one right back. if not at that immediate moment, then you do it on the other end of the floor when howard goes up for a bucket or rebound, you drive your elbow right up under his freaking rib cage. or just punch him in the nuts. either way, you need to send a message that you ain't gonna take any of his shtein.
i mean, farg, if baseball pitchers, who are the biggest hoydas in all of professional sports, will throw at a guy twice their size......who is also holding a farging bat, then there's no excuse at all for taking an elbow on the chin and not doing anything but look to the refs for a whistle.

Bzzt. I'm all for hard play. Bring back the Rick Mahorn style of play and I'm cool with that.
What we saw last night, from Crawford's crew, with the constant whistles for touch fouls 20ft away from the basket was ridiculous. Even worse, every time someone tried to touch Sir Dwight, they got whistled.
Van Gundy benefited from that junk. So DiLeo, a quiet fella, comes out and takes issue with it and that screaming idioot Van Gundy rips him. I wonder if good ol' Stan would have been quiet had the Magic been the ones getting screwed.
Fighting in the NBA went out the window once Magic got HIV'd.

Howard suspended for game 6.
lmao
Good. Sit down you soft punk bitch.
No Lee or Howard...the Sixers lose game 6 and they gain Flyers choke status.
they would attain SUCK status....unless they are up 20 in the third quarter and lose then they attain flyers SUCK AND CHOKE status
yea it would be public stoning time if they lose to soft ass rashard lewis, euro trash turkoglou and jj reddick
They should not shoot anything past the elbow. No Howard means drive to the hoop. That bird faced pollock can't control the lane.
can they suspend dalembert too? then game 6 would really be in the bag.
Now we know why the elbow didn't hurt him; because he has no brain!
oh!
actually if it wasnt for godfather howard would be playing...his constant needling of and his cheap shots on him drove him to drop the forearm
lolol @ the godfather...how great is this lunatic

Phil Jasner: Sixers' Dalembert taking lumps, earning respect
By Phil Jasner
Philadelphia Daily News
Daily News Sports Writer
GO AHEAD, admit it: You don't like Samuel Dalembert. You think he doesn't have good basketball instincts. You think he makes too many mistakes. You think he's overpaid, that the 76ers need to upgrade his position in the offseason.
As assistant coach Jim Lynam tells Sam when Sam thinks he has been unfairly whistled for a foul, get over it. Go forward, not backward. I like Sam more than most of you. I respect his ability as one of the better shot blockers in the NBA, to play on-the-ball defense, to run the floor. I know he has more than his share of lapses, but I saw him save a game in Houston this season with a defensive rotation. I saw him average nearly a double-double in 2007-08. He doesn't miss games.
Believe me, I'm steeled for an anticipated volley of e-mails, but he also knows more about the game than you seem to think. He knows, for example, exactly what he has been up against trying to defend Orlando's Dwight Howard, something he does not have to concern himself with in tonight's Game 6 of their hammer-and-tong, first-round playoff series.
Sam knows reality, and he knows perception. The reality is, league officials reviewed Howard's first-quarter elbow to Sam's head in Tuesday night's Game 5 and suspended Howard without pay for tonight's game. That's simply the rule: An elbow to the head brings a suspension. It should have brought an ejection, not merely a technical foul, in Game 5.
"The league did what it's supposed to do," Sixers president/general manager Ed Stefanski said. "The refs legitimately called what they saw, and they said they didn't see the contact. It's not unusual for the league to review a play after the fact."
The reality is, Sam and Theo Ratliff will be up against Marcin Gortat and Tony Battie tonight. I remember Jameer Nelson telling me as early as last summer that he thought Gortat could play; the box score of the Magic's second-to-last regular-season game, when Howard rested, shows Gortat taking 18 rebounds. And Battie is a veteran. Oh, and I'm old enough to have been courtside for Game 6 of the 1980 Finals, when Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was out and rookie Magic Johnson jumped center and had one of the most dramatic performances by a visitor in the history of the Spectrum. Jamaal Wilkes played the role of quiet assassin and scored 35 points and the Lakers won the championship. Funny how everybody remembers Magic, and no one seems to remember Wilkes.
Sam, though, has a grip - part serious, part lighthearted - on perception, too, as when somebody asked what might have happened had he been the one throwing the elbow.
"Forget about it," Sam said. "I'd probably get on a boat, go back home to Haiti. Like my teammates were saying, [they'd] probably throw you on a boat, send you back to Haiti.
"It's what it is. It's nothing against Dwight, nothing personal against him. He was frustrated. I should have been frustrated. We can't even guard him. You take a bump, [it's a] foul. You do this, foul. We deal with it; we don't complain. We won some games, and they won some games. In the heat of the moment, he did that. He probably regrets it by now."
Sam laughed and said, "I guess he probably woke up on the wrong side of the bed, and said, 'I'm going to get the Haitian guy.' I can only imagine if I didn't turn my head what would have happened; maybe I wouldn't be able to keep my composure as I did. I was trying to really keep calm. I shook my head a little bit. I was like, 'Whoa, stay in control.' "
The Sixers have said over and over, every time they run the ball up the floor Howard is somehow there. Waiting. Camped out.
"[Tuesday] was unbelievable," Sam said. "Every time we came down the floor, there was a foul called on one of us. I thought it was summertime already. I thought he was on the beach already. I tell the refs, 'He's right here, he's right here. What's going on?' Some people get away with it, some people don't. That's the way it's always been."
At 36, Ratliff has played against his share of dominant big men. He described Howard as "a powerful guy. He's big, a strong guy. If you let him get too many dribbles, he's so strong he can back you underneath the bucket and get easy shots. At this point in my career, he's definitely a difficult guy. The way he can jump, the way he can move around, he's a load. But [with Howard out], we can't let down. Our back is against the wall. If we lose [tonight], we're done. We have to come out with everything we've got."
Dalembert said he saw the elbow coming, said he was glad "I turned my head."
"It's better than my face," he said. "It's not up to me to decide whether he deserves [a suspension] or not, but I think what he did was [unsportsmanlike]. I would never try to do that to any player in the NBA. Once in a while, you're playing hard and things might happen here or there; you don't look to do it. It was a first elbow, and a second one coming after that. One of them would have to hit me."
Whether Sam and Theo have to deal with Gortat or Battie tonight, Sam said, "We need to really get down and play."
And then he said: "My blood is boiling."
And you do have to like him for that. *
Basketball refs are corrupt pieces of dog shtein. At best.
I hope The Haitian Guy goes off tonight.
off the court with 2 fouls in the first 5 minutes
god what an abortion of a team
Way to fold bitches.
1. These announcers are terrible. Particularly the PBP guy.
2. Samuel Dalembert, Willie Green and Lou Williams are retards. Why the hell is Willie Green shooting jumpers so early in the clock? Why isn't he driving the ball inside? Why does Lou Will step outta bounds and also foul a guy on a 3pt shot after making his own and-1?
3. Why is this team (and this is on that dumbshtein DiLeo) not driving to the hoop?!?!?! The lane is being patrolled by a dumb Pollock and Tony farging Battie. They are jacking up shots and is DiLeo screaming at them? No. Business as usual with these dumbasses.
4. JJ Redick is draining three's on yo asses. Wake up.
5. Can someone REBOUND?!?!
this is just sad
getting schooled by gortat & redick.
what a pathetic effort.
theres no director of scouting in the nba better at motivating their players than tony dileo
farg the Mets!
Stefanski should have fired DiLeo's pathetic ass right as the clock hit 0:00.
What a lame-ass, uninspired, flat farging performance. I cannot believe their game-plan. Whose ridiculous idea was it to have them shoot 20ft jumpers?
Why couldn't they rebound? Why did they get ran off their own court by a refugee, a preppie bitch, a school-yard baller and some Eurotrash punk?
Oh, and nice wanting to meet Dalembert outside, Hedo.
Terrible game. I'm pissed.
They need a real coach. I was a Mo guy and would have stuck with him this season but I knew he eventually had to go. Dileo shoud never step on the hardwood again.
"They put us on our heels"...that Gump farger has said this about 30 times.
zesty PC for a zesty coach.
Quote"They're actually better without Dwight Howard," Sixers guard Andre Miller said. "One of their players told me that they were better without Dwight Howard. They said the ball moves quicker. They're not standing around a lot."
Iguodala says the team is too young and needs more guys with playoff experience.
FAs: Miller, Ratliff, Marshall, Rush, Ivey (player option)
His contract has two more years ($11.3M and $12.4M...wtf), but they need to look into trading Dalembert somewhere.....anywhere....
UFAs around the league include Kobe (if he wants to opt out), Rasheed, AI, Kidd, Boozer, Artest, Odom, Marion, Jermaine O'Neal (option), Turkoglu, Bibby, Ben Gordon and Drew Gooden
miller is the only one i absolutely want them to bring back. always been a ratliff fan but he's old. if he comes back on the cheap, great. if not, oh well.
miller is done
lou is a 6th man
get a 1 guard to go with thad and iggy (no choice there)
ship sammy back to haiti
murder willie green
get a 5
Miller would be fine if he didn't have to carry so much of the scoring load. This team needs some shooters and they need to cut the dead weight. Which is Green, Sammy, Evans, Rush, Ratliff.
Stefanski has his work cut out for him, because they won't be able to sign anyone other than with the MLE and they don't really have anyone to trade unless you want to give up Thad or Speights. I'm not sure this team can go deep in the playoffs with Thad and Iguodala in the same lineup for extended periods of time. Between the two of them, they just can't shoot consistently from the outside. Ultimately, one of them might have to be moved.
I actually wouldn't be pissed if the team traded Lou. He can't shoot and makes so many dumb mistakes. He might still have some trade value. He's one of the few players on the team that can penetrate, but if this team actually had real players then that wouldn't be such a problem.
This team just needs to get lucky and hit the lottery one of these years, but they never will as long as they are going to drift in mediocrity.
one of the single worst performances ive ever seen in must win game
get miller the farg outta here...his defense is unbelievably bad and his lack of explosiveness is annoying as farg...i would give a decade off my life to trade up and get ricky rubio but obviously thats not happening...but this is a pretty good year for getting a potentially good point guard...no one to fap over like rajon rondo but i like johnny flynn quite a bit and i absolutely love jeff teagues massive upside
still need a shooter...still need interior toughness...ironically what they actually need is a player of elton brands size with the athleticism of the godfather...instead they have a string bean who gets pushed around and an old guy who isnt active at all any more...they need a young active PF...like a leon powe
so, they basically need a new team
i think the sixers will have a legit shot at wayne ellington from NC. scoop him
of course he should be there...hes not even a guaranteed first rounder...he has no handle and not nearly a good enough shot to overcome that...in other words hell farging no on wayne ellington
shut up
he wasnt even that good in college son
http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/20090501_Iguodala_calls_for_Sixers_shake-up.html
QuoteAs for coach Tony DiLeo, the team's assistant GM who replaced Maurice Cheeks in December and led the club to the playoffs, well, Iguodala didn't exactly endorse his soft-spoken boss.
"We'll see about that," he said, when asked whether DiLeo should return. "We'll talk. We'll try to get the best-case scenario."

It's not only him, Ratliff calls Sixers coaching too soft (http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/44113972.html)
QuoteAsked whether he felt he could, as a veteran presence, have helped, he said, "It ain't about veterans."
"The coaches are responsible for guys [being] prepared and playing," he said. "They have to hold guys accountable. It's been that way all year, so you couldn't expect anything different.
"You have to step up and get into guys. If [as the coach] you don't have that type of personality, to be able to go at guys . . . "
I'm not putting all the blame on Dileo but changes need to be made and they need to start with him.
yeah, i heard that. if Stefanski had any inclination of bringing him back, that's over now.
larry brown would be the perfect coach for this team...
theres no farging way he was coming back...how the hell do you hire a front office guy to coach a pro team whose last job was 20 years ago in europe...
the minute brand went down stefanski basically wrote the season off and hired dileo to get them to the summer...i dont even think stefanski expected to make the playoffs with dileo
So now its nothing but farging baseball until August. farg.

i dont think you can say what kind of coach he would hire yet...he inherited one coach and hired a mid season replacement...the dileo hire doesnt even count...and yes he didnt have to re up cheeks but he had just gotten the job and with the great run they made last spring and cheeks being beloved in the city i cant blame him for that...this next hire is a clean slate all on him hire...ill hold off on judgment til then
and outside of maybe football where you have monster coaching staffs and scouting depts. every gm meets with every player after the season is over and takes input from them...thats how it should be
I'm not a fan of DiLeo either, but what coaches are out there that make this team better? Avery Johnson....meh

my favorite was reemsdyke being scared to leave college for the big bad pros....bodes well for his future
Stefanski was on with Missanelli a few minutes ago, he said Sammy asked to be traded at the deadline (can't remember if this was public knowledge or not). Ed said they did have some talks with other teams. I recall a Sammy/LouWill for K-Mart deal being talked about. He says Sammy hasn't approached him again with that request. Ed's straight forward and always PC but reading between the lines Sammy's a goner thank god.
sammy is the least of their worries...hes only got two years left on his deal...i mean if they can move him this year for a contract that expires in 2010 then that would be nice but even that buys you only one year
brand is a much bigger issue because hes locked up for another four years
brand though could be good for 20 mins off the bench should he accept that role
of course its a massive waste of $ but in the least you get some value
sammy on the other hand sucks and is just a total embarrassment of a human being
doesnt matter how good or bad sammy is...if you want you can stick him behind speights and brand for the next two years and sleep tight till his deals up
then why not trade him for 20 cents on the dollar and eat his $. at least get something for it.

thats fine but the money has to be even and youre going to get trash back (unless you want to package sammy with iguodala or thad) so whats the point
i mean if you just despise him plain and simple and want him gone then i see what youre saying...but if youre talking about how it effects the team on the court sammy is a non issue and if youre talking about his salary hurting the cap its a relatively small problem (2 years)

then why not trade him for 20 cents on the dollar and eat his $. at least get something for it.
There's our Jew
lol
Team can't stay the same way. No way Brand's accepting a bench role and I'm 99% sure the offseason plan revolves around him getting healthy. First thing they need to do is to learn how to play with him and go from there. Sammy needs to go because he's a retard, pretty sure Ed can fool some team into thinking he'll change.
sammy is as useless as it gets. off the bench, starting, it dont matter. he needs to go.
Sammy was almost traded for Tyson Chandler at the deadline, but it fell through. It wasn't straight up, I forget the other pieces.
since I feel this team will be pretty much dead in the water for at least the next 2 years, I also have a strong feeling that Sammy is going nowhere.
yes hes a complete jackass, but hes average. Some NBA teams dont even have that, so Ed Stef will probably suck it up and keep his 7pts and 9 boards a game, while the 3 core guys develop more with each other until 2011 when Sam, Green and Evans comes off the books. maybe then they will have some loot to grab some perimeter or pull up shooters
right now they dont have squat for cap space and are stuck at the MLE... so acquiring any kind of serious outside threat/s like some more Marshalls and Rushs will not be there..which sucks

miller and ratliff were no-shows at the final team meeting.
QuoteStefanski considered the absences unexcused.
"I don't know if that's sending us a message or what," Stefanski said of Miller's truancy.

ESPN Insider:
QuoteNBA Rumors: Doug Collins may lead Philly
...even though Jasner says Collins hasn't even thought about it, hasn't talked to the Sixers, and the Sixers haven't tried to contact him.
its in the daily news today which is surely where espn is getting it from
yea its a jasner dn article. hes usually right on the money, so theres some truth to it
Avery Johnson was on 610 or 950 yesterday, he sounds like a fruit
who cares
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzJ
Buddha, Mohamed, Jesus Christ, Dali Lahma, Pope, Hugo Chavez, Kim Jong Ill, Abe Lincoln, Martin Luther King, etc couldn't save this team. Bring in Bobby Knight.
I'm pretty Lincoln could help. That dude was tall.
That motherfarger would have maned up to Dwight Howard!
can someone please explain to me why tony dileo hasnt been canned yet?...ive been patient for a week now and im about to lose it.
Avery Johnson said Lou Williams can be a starting NBA point guard, and he also said Iguodala should either be the 3.... or the 4.
I've heard enough out of Avery. Next candidate?
press conference at 4:30 today.......DiLeo won't be back as head coach
shocking
This will be their 13th head coach since Cunningham left in 1985....as many as those great Clippers and Warriors franchises. The Knicks have had 15 in that same time...
I think it is either going to be Eddie Jordan or Tom Thibodeau.
no one cares what you think
The PM you sent me suggests otherwise.
describe this PM
You are practically begging for me to spare a shard of my incredible insight on all things around the world of sports.
the least you could have done was made something funny up
you are such a farging waste of time i dont even know where to begin
If you never made your original reply, I never would've replied. Which would've negated the whole ensuing dialogue.
MDS, you really need to take from Andy Reid and take full responsibility.
Out of all the names mentioned (Tom Thibodeau, Flip Saunders, Eddie Jordan, Doug Collins,Avery Johnson) I guess Jordan makes the most sense. It sucks they had LB in the franchise for so long but let him go before they realized they needed a coach.
I like Avery Johnson out of that group.
Everyone likes Avery Johnson, but I don't get why. He made the Finals and had a great season the following year? Well at the time, the Mavs were the most talented team in the NBA.
The Mavs choked away a 2-0 lead in the Finals, and lost to the 8th seed the following season with the best record in the NBA.
Avery hasn't proven anything except that he can take a super talented team far into the playoffs. Then again, who else is out there?
You don't know why because you're a dumb ass.
Fastest to 100 coaching wins. Fastest to 150 coaching wins. Coach of the year in 2006.
Yeah, who'd want a stiff like that?
What does all of that mean?
Absolutely nothing.
Apparently he's not even one of the top 3 candidates for the job, so the Sixers seem to agree with me.
There's a reason no one wanted to hire him in the offseason and no, it had nothing to do with his job at ESPN.
The Magic might want to look into hiring him instead of Ron Jeremy though, because SVG might be a worse coach than Randy Ayers was.
memphis offered him their job in january....he turned it down
he got fired only a year ago and is getting paid for another two...how do you know he just didnt wanna get paid for a free year off then regroup this summer and work again...it happens all the time in pro sports
dallas is composed of a bunch of bickering Hoydas who have no heart...they always have been that with dirk at the helm...no coach has been able to get them over the top...they arent winners...period
im not even touting avery johnson as some savoir or hall of fame coach but once again cole as romey so eloquently said you have absolutely no idea what youre talking about
This is coming from the guy who thought Marcus Williams was a stud. I forget, what has become of his NBA career? lol
I see you like to use whatever excuse fits your argument. Because you like Avery Johnson, the entire Dallas team is a bunch of losers, but if you didn't like Avery Johnson I'm sure you'd just flip it the other way.
So if you want to blame the players for the playoff debacles, then surely you should want to give the players the credit to the winning accomplishments under Avery too. Can't have it both ways. You can't blame the players when they lose, but when the team wins say it had nothing to do with the players.
As a side note, every candidate in the running for the Sixers who has been a head coach before has a playoff record that is under .500. Not good. Avery is 23-24.
Every time I see you post I have to remind myself that you're not actually a monkey on mescaline banging away at random keys on the computer.

this makes more sense and is funnier than anything else you've ever posted. you have nothing left to prove so maybe it's finally time to call it quits.

i dont care about johnson and i dont particularly like or hate him...nor did i say he deserved any credit or blame for the mavs.....and i dont even know what "argument" youre talking about...i was simply pointing out the factual inaccuracies in your post about him
and rondo is the one who i thought would be a stud...williams i would have taken over carney anyday cause carney sucked and they needed a point but i never touted him as some sort of future star
you are a douche on an epic level
Eddie Jordan coming to town Friday for an official interview
wake me when it's michael. and he's 27 years old. and suiting up.

Then we are in agreement about Avery. I never said he's a terrible coach. All I did was question all this unwarranted hype for him. Everyone wants him so bad, you'd think he was Phil Jackson. All I did was play devil's advocate and questioned what exactly makes him so great. I'm not talking about just these boards, but the radio, on talk shows, etc. Everyone seems to be drooling over Avery Johnson.

get doug collins
or anybody else with a pulse.
salmi was horrible.
"It all started on the defensive end."
Eskin says Eddie Jordan is unlikely to happen and the following are now the top candidates:
-- Thibodeau (especially now that Boston is out)
-- Dwane Casey (Mavs asst., used to coach Minnesota)
-- Mike Budenholzer (Spurs top asst.)
Out of those 4 Ill take Budenholzer.
Hes been Popps right hand man for over a decade, and I sure as hell wouldnt mind seeing some of that Spurs offense and defense instilled on these young fools...of course none of that will work if hes a cream puff of a coach
Kurt Rambis interviewed today...Dwane Casey too.
Bums.
Boston Globe says Thibodeau has been given permission to interview with the Sixers, and the team may also be interested in bringing John Kuester back. He was one of Larry Brown's assistants and is currently a Cavs assistant...
Jerardi/Jasner:
-- Jay Wright removed his name from consideration
-- 6 interviews so far (Jordan, Ford, Casey, Rambis, Wright, Thibodeau)
-- Expected to inquire about Johnson and possibly Collins
-- There's been some internal discussion about Budenholzer
-- None of the current assistants (Lynam, Ruland, Loyer, McKie) will be considered
-- The new coach will be allowed to bring his own assistants
easy doin some true reportin, man i cant get a real job but maybe you can
Hahaha. Funniest thing I've read all week.
Sports journalism a real job? lolz.
QuoteRight now, six have been interviewed and five are still in the game: Eddie Jordan, Dwane Casey, Kurt Rambis, Tom Thibodeau, and Chris Ford appear to remain on Stefanski's list. Villanova coach Jay Wright discussed the opening with Stefanski, then called and essentially said thanks, but no thanks.
Through this opening stage, Stefanski has avoided brand-name guys such as Avery Johnson, Jeff Van Gundy, Doug Collins, and Mike Fratello. Other than Jordan, who has been a head coach in the NBA for more than 500 games, and Ford, an in-house candidate who had success as the Boston Celtics' coach in the 1990s, Stefanski's group includes a handful of promising assistant coaches.
Chris Ford? Are they serious?
LOL @ them even discussing Chris Ford.
Jesus...
Chris Ford is a pretty good basketball guy. He was thrown out to the wolves in his only chance here. That said, he'd be dead last on my list of choices.
chris ford is a younger version of jim lynam...career assistants and nothing more
Rambis is out while Casey is getting a 2nd interview (bleh)
and this should be in an offseason topic or something
