Go team.
Tonights score:
Heat: 114
Sixers: 82
I like the Sixers in this one.
I mean.... I don't think that they're going to win. But I like them more than I like the Heat.
Great article to kick off the season (http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/20101027_Bob_Ford__Collins_begins_task_of_fixing_the_76ers.html)
at least Collins has no illusions of grandeur
Or delusions either.
Delusion your face.
Who's ready for the Heat to start 0-2? Get excited.
Meanwhile on stubhub you can buy tix to the Sixers-Cavs for $1.99 a seat. High demand this year.
watch your boy Bosh blow up this game in the low post.
speaking of Bosh--I dont know who watched that game last night besides BIGSTUD corny ass cole, but in the first quarter he had a baseline drive for a dunk that was ridiculous for the space he had.
its supposed to be a sellout or close to it. either way this is pretty much their only interesting game of the year.
then i guess start losing and hope for this dude

$1.99 for season tickets correct?
over/under on wins ?
30 and I'll take the under. I think they win 25 games this season.
I hear Miami is only going to win seven games this year.

agreed - this team is horrible. thankfully i don't care that much.
any chance you're at 97.5 right now ? if you are could you slap bitchinnelli in the head, his high pitch whining is bugging me more than a rant from rosie o'donnell.
nah I'm supposed to work tomorrow from 6 AM until 3ish but I had to call out because I have the flu. The good news for all of you is that I'll be here more.
I say 27 games..I just hope it's somewhat fun to watch. maybe jrue and et can be the beginning of something. who knows.
112-96 Sixers tonight.
:-D
cant believe im gonna miss this game....how come stupid MA has 50 bars with the hockey package but none with the nba
free preview right now
they have the package by default
and i guarantee you know the answer to that question
Sixers will win 40 games this year. Don't underestimate how awful of a coach Eddie Jordan was...
And Sixers will cover the -8.. bet it.
I've got them in the 37-42 range too.
Playing them pretty tight so far...Turner seems to be struggling and I think Elton Brand signed a shoe deal with a cement company.
ET with a nice rebound and put back for the and 1.
3 white guys on the floor right now...what farging year is it?
Thad is the best player on the court tonight
Turner doesn't look too bad, he's grabbing some boards and his first bucket was all him. His outside shot needs some work.
Thad looks pretty good, yeah.
Perimeter defense...where are you?!
more importantly
1. eric snow needs to stop talking
2. what happened to jamie magio
3. has spencer hawes played basketball before tonight?
their second team basically dominated....when turner and sweet lou were in the game good things happened....same old story tho as the last three years....the inibility to defend the three is just inexcusable...they win tonight if not for their perimeter d
also they wouldnt have won the game anyway but the charge call on the nocioni three to get within five with a minute left was horrible
Quote from: MDS on October 27, 2010, 09:21:52 PM2. what happened to jamie magio
out in LA working for KCAL
I thought Turner played very well for his first game. Hes pretty smart with the ball which is very important. I think as he gains more confidence as the season goes on, and he becomesmuch more aggressive with the ball.
Nice to see the Sixers have some shooters on the floor this year. As igy said, the perimeter d still haunts this team, but I think Collins will straighten that out to a degree. Also, if Brand has to guard the top of the key the middle of the lane was completely wide open all night. Thats going to kill this squad with no interior big man.
Also, not too sure if Nocioni think hes a pt guard, but him driving to the basket any chance he gets is not his game. Stay on the outside and create some friggin space.
nocioni will never ever create space unless its thru his smelly hairy armpits in some tight quartered euro trash cafe/bistro
he needs to spot up for jumpers or crash the boards like a tazmanian devil...that his game thats it

Just need goods to barter with the island chiefs. Oh, and leave the white women.
on 97.5 today, Missanelli said that in Chris Broussard's latest chat or column or whatever that Iguodala asked the Sixers to release him if the season goes bad.
1. IF the season goes bad?
2. who the farg is andre iguodala to be asking for shtein like that?

What a pathetic 3 attempt by Nocioni
0-2
lol 10k there tonight
see you for the lottery in june
maybe i'm retarded, but i don't hate watching them.
after two games they seem to play hard and not give up. maybe that will change when they are 3-21 but who knows.
Agree. Offensively--they need to practice setting plays in the worst way. Jrue and Lou are late almost every single time distrib the ball when the swing man was coming around off the screen or curl or never bothered to pass it all--thats a friggin killer right there. So when that timing is off the rest of the play dies, guys stand around and Iggy just winds up shooting.
After a great first game, Turner did not see the floor until 30 sec left of the first quarter? huh? He seems to be the most adept to passing the ball around the perim and setting people up, but he needs to do more with the ball when he gets it. Jrue looks very lost offensively right now, but his one-on-one perimeter d is off the charts good.
Ill take those shots/numbers out of Brand all day. Hawes is farging brutal to watch with a basketball in his hands. Speights looked like he belonged on the set of Semi-Pro.

They have problems, again, with coming out of the half.
...and defending the goddamn three's.

I find myself watching Jrue/Turner and some of the younger guys, I'll occasionally notice when Iggy makes a decent play but I don't think fans give two shteins about the veterans. Which brings me to my next point, why is he still here? If it's to maintain fan interest in the team it isn't working. There's zero other reason I can think of holding onto him and not giving the younger guys playing time.
He looked like shtein tonight.
Holiday looked iffy too. But I agree...I watch him and Turner the most.
By the way...Spencer Hawes is garbage.
Hawes is another reason Ed needs to go. At least Sammy was athletic and had an expiring contract, Hawes is a big white stiff.
have we started the igoudala trade countdown clock yet?
I started it 4 years ago
im still trying to figure out why collins basically sat sweet lou for the second half after he wnet for 18 in a first half where they literally couldnt check him.......if there isnt an injury or off the court issue then it was an ej type rotation decision
But he gave your boy Nocioni 32 minutes worth of run.
Lou had 18 at half and didn't play much in the 2nd and STILL was the leading scorer.
Igoudala has checked out mentally. Ship him out.
you can say he should of been brought in, but lou f'ed up big time after he got a technical called on him. he then committed 3 more turnovers at critical momentum swings and he was gone after that.
iggy actually ruined the rotations that were put on the floor in the 4th quarter with his driving to the hole 1 on 3 bullshtein he loves to pull. he needs a hard reality check.
lol @ critical momentum in the third game of the season against indiana
and you dont bench someone who couldnt be stopped cause he had a few turnovers...in fact trying to make a statement like that is hilarious
williams had 5 turnovers--4 of them in a 7 minute span. thats friggin horrendous basketball from a guy holding the rock no matter what game it is, and its without a doubt a momentum killer. he was shooting nice then lost his mind.
my guess is collins is trying to prove a point from his ball handlers
from simmons
QuoteFake trade: Melo/Kapono/Songalia to NYK; Igoudala/Randolph/Curry $3m 2014 NYK #1 to Den, Gallo/Chandler/KMart/Azubuike/$3m to Phi. Like it?
anything that clears cap space im for. keep losing, keep hoping to hit the lottery with the next superstar (been 3 years since durant...we're due for one soon), and wait until it actually makes sense to pay up for someone, i.e. not throwing 80 mil at elton brand just because hes there.
what else can you do? as it is right now they are a 25 win team and they arent getting any better.
I take that trade solely for the 3MM in cash they would get back.

patrick kane says, 'yo motherfarger.'
well yeah et has a chance to get better and id way rather have him than jvr who is a waste of life
but wall is so much better than kane its a joke....and a great player in basketball is much more important than a great hockey player....if kane is even "great"
in the end both situations make me ill
lou williams is a terrible point guard
thats like saying Iguodala is a terrible shooting guard
i get what you're saying, so i guess i should be irritated with Collins for putting him out there in that position, and then i guess i could be irritated for Jrue being awful this year and forcing that.
i guess i'll just be irritated.
you mean you dont like when Jrue shoots 3's at the top of the key with 20 seconds left on the shot clock?
and doesn't hit the rim? no, no i don't like that
not a good sequence for young Jrue right there either
where is havas to defend his boy
come on son dont let this hatefest go
you arent even watching the game
hes actually played well...hes turned it over too much but he has 12 and 7 and is 5-9 from the field
problem is wall is simply outrageous
i am not
i am at work procrastinating from pre-game stories and watching cnn
but point is your boy and your team aint lookin good
you have no point
i beat you in basketball last week
point
I need to mute this telecast Eric Snow makes my ears bleed. Jrue has played a solid game, that being said this team is brutal to watch.
Snow is friggin hard to listen to
I would love to know the +/- differential over the Sixers last 3 games with Turner in the game. Every time he is on the floor the Sixers make some kind of run.
christ...the types of turnovers Jrue has had have been so bad. dont look at his stats this game and say he had a solid game...its been very pedestrian at best
is the game still going on? because it has to be better than the political slaughter going on right now.

He has had some terrible turnovers, but he was doing a solid job in the first half.
omfg
hahaha....3 at the buzzer instead of fouling.....OT
unreal
jesus... ::)
This is the first Sixers game I've seen this season. Ugh. May be my last.
wall is one steal away from a triple double.
someone please tell me what the farg iguodala is doing on defense
Best sequence in OT
Sixers get a steal, Turner tries to head fake Wall who steals it from him and drive the lane, Brand takes the foul so he hits 2 from the stripe
Sixers inbound, Igouwasteoflife bricks a 3.
1:45 left but after that you just know it's game
I'd trade Turner/Holiday/Thad/Lou/future first/Speights/Igouwaste/ and whatever else the Wiz would want for Wall.
lolol
Sixers up 1, Wizards ball, shot clock unplugged. Any doubt Wall drains one here?
yes
yea well....game on the line, go to Blatche I guess
let's see if Iggy bricks this one for the loss
Lou Will 20 ft brick FTL I think.
and he does
0-4
That managed to be uglier than I thought it would be somehow.
that was not good.

I was slightly encouraged with Brand's play tonight, he played hard and good.
i don't think it can be overstated how unbelievable john wall is going to be.
jesus...
Trade Igoudala.
why didnt i take the under on the win/loss total
Didn't see the game because of class... but at least one positive is that I'll get to watch John Wall firsthand down here.... Iguodala needs to go...

he was ok against indiana but otherwise hes been bad and last night he was just horrific...-15 i believe...you bang on jeru for turning it over six times in 40 minutes with the ball constantly in his hands but praise turner for being like a minus 10 over the last few games and last night turning it over three times in 25 minutes

yeah and wall had eight turnovers...point guards are going to turn the ball over..especially 20 year old point guards....but the kid had 13 assists shot well from the field and his on the ball defense of wall in the last five minutes was unbelievably impressive..he single handedly forced the bullets to bring blatche out above the foul line to pick and roll because wall was having trouble getting by the damaja
i wont say turnovers are overrated in the nba because as a team you have to take care of the ball but you cant focus on a few posessions where a guy might have a tough stretch of turning the ball over and then overreact..thats the problem i had with collins beching lou the other night..hes been by far your best player and is on a tear right now..you dont sit that down for half a game
anyway indiana was the game where jeru was just hideous...i thought last night he was really good
last nights game in general was just fabulous
one thing i dont get is iguodala basically didnt play the last five minutes of regulation (which was very telling imo) but then somehow he finds his way into taking the last shot of the game which clearly isnt his strong suit.didnt make much sense
Wall first player in NBA history to reach 29 points, 13 assists, and 9 steals in the same game
that game was fun as shtein even though they lost. and let's not get excited about brand people. he had a good game but was still slow as shtein yesterday. when you get burnt consistently by andrew effing blatche you've lost it. and what has happened to marreeese? had high hopes for dude at one point.
and god damn is john wall good.

Im not favoring either player--Im just calling it as it is, and pointing out the glaring mistakes that need to be adjusted in order to be a good pg in this league. I already said the other night that Jrue's one-on-one perimeter d is the off the charts--and I enjoy watching him on that side.
For the first quarter and a half he played well. Then from mid-second quarter on he was very mediocre--except for OT where he was stellar. Im not concerned what the stats say--I watch his overall play as a pg--more or less how he's using the other players, penetrating and distributing the ball. He had some decent assists, but majority of them were guys standing there wide open underneath the basket (this is the Wizards), or just a quick pass and shoot that you or I could pull off. There were many times where he penetrated and just looked lost.
As far as Turner, not too sure what you're looking out of him but saying that hes been horrific is just wrong. Aside from him probably being the best inside rebounder on the team--no joke--his defense has been incredible and he knows how to facilitate a play and find the open guys cutting off screens--something Lou and Jrue are struggling with. He doesnt shoot enough prob because hes told not to right now, and his turnover last night was god-awful because he tried to be cute. His on the ball defense against Wall up top was so good that he caused 3 turnovers. Overall, they both need huge improvements (and it will come) offensively to be considered anything but average in this league.
not that its anything to be ashamed of and hes way to slow and big to check wall but wall went by him like he wasnt even there almost every time he was on him..which luckily didnt last long
i dont even know what games you are watching so we should just end this here
i mean you praised a guys plus minus who was minus 15 last night and minus 10 over the last three games
rewind the tape-- you're wrong. there was only one time he shook him and turner still recovered. the other times he causes wall to dribble inside and he lost the ball
its hard for anyone to cover a pg one-on-one in the nba, but when you do it against a guy like wall with his speed its pretty impressive...and both jrue and turner did it very well. stop hating to hate because the 2nd pick in the draft is not john wall--get over it.

I think hes been playing extremely well considering how slow he has been. It looks likes he made an effort to work on that 15 ft'er in the off-season because hes been money on it (so far).
problem with him, as well as iggy is they are both are always trying to be hero's and love to dribble into traffic instead of going inside out and having some ball movement.
hes been money on 12 footer since he was at duke..offensive rebound put backs and elbow jumpers has always been his game in the nba...he just seems more adept at it this year because hes now fully healthy
i agree his shot looked nice...i just can't get out of my head the non-move that blatche put on him where he basically gave up the entire baseline and blatche was three steps by him. of course blatche could be faster than i'm giving him credit for.
i bet the dude i was at the game with $5 that somehow andre would brick the winning shtein.
so when was the last time the sixers had back to back 30 pt quarters
2001?
e snow really is a train wreck....how could they have watched him on the nba network for the last couple years and then thought he might be a good announcer
hes def a one and done
Why the hell did they get rid of Mix anyways? Its been an endless parade of slappy's sitting in next to Zumoff for a couple years now.

11 boards in 13 min. for mareeeese. thats my boy.
Elton had another good game. Thats big, IMO, on the second night of a back to back.
Holy shtein, they won a game. I haven't seen them yet because the NBA doesn't rank high enough on my priorities list for me to buy the their package, so all I have to go on box scores, you idiots and the occasional mention of it during Mike Miss. So having said that, Elton Brand is averaging 16 and 9 and from a box score perspective, has been pretty solid to start the season. Are the numbers misleading or is he actually looking good on the floor?
Good is a relative term.
I don't care what your relatives call him, I'm just curious about how his play has been so far.
He's definitely been good. He's been one of the better 4's in the east believe it or not.
Right now Brand's playing his best basketball as a Sixer. I'm not saying he's going to return to his 20/10 60% from the floor but at least he doesn't look like a statue out there.
its amazing what health can do for you
oh and a coach who will find the correct spots on the floor for you to score and then actually call your number
league pass gave me the pacers feed last night...e snow may be bad, but not half as bad as whoever those assclowns were for the pacers broadcast team.
Damn, I completely forgot to check League Pass for any free trials. I think they do the first few days of the season free every year now.
ended last night.
Figures.
and im the cheap jew. ha.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a cheap ass sumbitch but if I could drop the coin on the NBA package and not even feel it in my wallet I would. But I don't watch enough NBA to warrant spending that much money. I wouldn't even see enough Sixers games during the year to warrant it. I buy the Sunday Ticket package every year and that's it.
disposable income ftw
I've got some disposable income as well, I just choose to dispose of it on things other than the NBA package.

no hd sixers csn feed last night...only hd game was the late phx/san anton (i think) game..
nothing better than the league pass - the thunder are a shteinton of fun to watch - even when they lose like last night.
fios must have options on the package that other providers dont then....cause i have the league pass and the sixers game def had an hd option last night....it was the first game on below even the score channel i think
i definitely coulda missed it, but i think youre right about cable providers - i only get 2 hd games a night on league pass - one early, one late...do you get all in hd? because if so, im going to fios.
People already on the lottery bandwagon and I can't say I disagree. The Sixers will probably finally trade Iguodala this season by the deadline. I just wonder what kind of return they would get. The Nuggets love him and would trade him for Melo, but he has no interest in coming here.
I also wonder if Collins will be able to make it through the season. He's already having issues 5 games in.

we were in the old thread...which was bumped why?
Lets see if these fools can fight back
i predict another halftime migraine for collins
so andre makes a two foot lay in and e snow says "thats better than some of the longer shots he takes"
this shtein im about to take has more upside than jrue
i think easy e-snow is going to end up being sarge-good

no chance...if announcers were like coaches hed be fired mid season...he doesnt have any charm like sarge and most importantly he says nothing of substance...how were you a point guard for all those years and cant anaylyze the game AT ALL...sarge says good baseball stuff it just the way he says it sometimes that is cringe worthy...e snow brings nothing to the table
we might never see spencer hawes again...he started the game played six minutes and was a -21...minus 21 in six minutes...i didnt think that was possible...somehow watching songalia is even more painful tho
sixers shooting 56% from the field and are down by 14
holy shtein was that napolean dynamite in that durant fantasy commercial
whats a sweet move by et
here they come!
this team isn't awful to watch, i'll say that much
when starting his move from outside the paint does anyone have worse touch around the basket than iguodala...he somehow bricks shots around the rim....basically his only finish is to power dunk
woooooo hooooooooooooo
LEAD
jeru is on fyerrrrrr
shine like a gold nugget fargers
great job to fight back.
But a 44pt 4th quarter?!? :boo

I didn't see any of the game but I pulled up the box score when I got home. I literally had to do a double take when I saw Hawes played 6 minutes and was -18. farging terrible.

He's a statue. Awful trade, Sammy would actually fit nicely with this group, that and his contract would come off the books at the end of the season. Another piss poor move by Ed.

LOL....I didn't even know he was traded. Just looked it up and saw that the move was made while I was deployed.
cant defend the front of the rim...elton brand was just pathetic on those two late drives by mo williams
and they still dont know how to finish

Look, we've mentioned this in previous posts, but not as bluntly as we're about to right now: Spencer Hawes has been awful this season. Collins' decision to start him has made sense, up until now. Basically, if Collins doesn't try to get a few good minutes out of Hawes at the start of the game, it's pretty much a given that Hawes will contribute nothing for the entire game. At least with Hawes starting, Collins can eat away a few minutes before going to a small lineup or before going to Tony Battie, whose legs just can't handle extended minutes all season long. But the problem, through six games, is that Hawes isn't just treading water and getting the Sixers to the 6:00-minute mark of the first quarter about even, he's digging them into pretty deep holes. He's slow (the Cavaliers absolutely destroyed the Sixers on any pick-and-roll Hawes was involved with), he can't rebound, and he's playing soft. He doesn't even appear too concerned about all of these things. The starting center position is a massive hole right now for the Sixers and Collins' decision to bench Hawes in the second half of last night's game was the right one. This is a big deal, because there really isn't a solution. Collins could start Battie, but that's asking for trouble: by midway through the year, Battie could be sidelined if his minutes are too extended here at the start. But it's possible, if Collins can stay disciplined with Battie's minutes, that he could be inserted into the starting lineup and get the team off to a better start before Collins goes to Marreese Speights and then Brand at the center spot.

How do they continue to stick with Ed? Like his personality and all but he's driven this team from mediocrity to shtein his time here. What a mess.
Quote
The Sixers' current roster costs about $70 million - approximately $12 million over the salary cap - and ranks No. 9 in most-expensive NBA rosters. Entering Saturday night's NBA schedule, the combined record of the eight more-expensive teams was 27-12. The combined record of the four teams just below the Sixers - the Atlanta Hawks, Milwaukee Bucks, San Antonio Spurs, and Portland Trail Blazers - is 15-7.
It's easy to be cheap and bad (see the Sacramento Kings and Minnesota Timberwolves), but it's much more difficult to be expensive and bad. And it's truly remarkable to go from being expensive and bad to more expensive and worse.
Which is what happened this summer to the Sixers.

another win at MSG
Thorn runs the basketball decisions now. Ed Stefanski basically does nothing.
(http://media.philly.com/images/110810-iverson-400.jpg)
:-D
so he's a Yankee fan in the US and a Phillie fan outside it
mock
Ed must be the last person on earth to realize that hats are nothing more than fashion accessories to athletes.
damn I thought DeSean was always a Nats fan
good stuff
the turnovers that jrue makes i cant even understand it.
the guy is evolving taking the ball into the paint and makes so many good plays, but man his brain just goes blank making these not even close off-the-wall passes.
the Sixers eclipsed 100 points in a fifth straight game for the first time since December 2005
Holliday to Brand is the new Stockton to Malone
In all seriousness Brand looks like the player they envisioned when they signed him. The encouraging thing about that is the possibility a team takes him off the Sixers hands.
Yeah...his mid range shot % is crazy high right now. Not to mention he's hustling his ass off. The only downside is his ups are diminished big time-where he used to be able to contend shots on the regular because of his length.
I do like the way he fights for the ball though.

in fairness to him he shouldnt be responsible for guarding the front of a basketball rim in the nba but because he is he gives up almost as many pts as he scores...especially late in games when the other team is attacking the basket
last night was simply example A of why you need a star in the nba...when the thunder needed pts down the stretch durant got it for them...while the sixers were relying on jodie meeks (not that he didnt step up but the difference sledgehammers you in the face)
I personally didn't think the Sixers had a shot at that game....but then I realized how bad of defense the Thunder has.
When Nocioni is getting clear lanes to the hoop it's time to re-group. The Sixers are so sporadic on defense that there are times when you are like damn..ok...then others you can't even believe these guys practice every day. One of the big killers on this team is not even the turnovers but the transition d.They fix that they might be able to sustain a lead and win more.
And Turner just holding the ball at the top of the key with clock dwindling down is ass backwards. Dribble the friggin ball and show some balls.
obviously i havent been watching as i dont have the package but is brand really looking that good? good enough that someone may be stupid enough to take him off our hands?
cause the trade rumors are swirling for iguodala...and getting rid of those 2 would give me a boner that size of igys bank account.

If Brand continues doing what he's been doing yeah I think there's a chance.
great trip
they might win against Toronto though
Over these past games there is one other person that stands out to me aside from Lou Williams this year..Thadeus Young.
I know he's in a contract year, but damn dude can finish around the basket. I'd like to see more of him and less of Iguodala at this point. In years past, I always wanted to keep Iggy... but Im on board now for shipping him out. Not to mention, he doesnt want to be here anyway.
I've been on the play Thad trade Iggy train for 3 years.
Welcome aboard
Oh I know you have, but I completely disagreed with you for 3 years.
I shunned at the fact of trading a guy that has all the talent in the world that can fill up stat sheet like he can, but it's clear to me more so than ever this year that he just doesn't fit in with this particular group of players.
thads a nice guy to have off the bench but he should never ever start in this league...every few weeks youll get some nice output from him but the second the other team pays him any attention he disappears
he has the terrible combination of having a terrible handle (its so incredibly awkward) and no back to the basket game
because hes so long when he somehow can get near the rim hes an ok finisher but he is just so easy to defend for a guy his size
and hes an average at best defender
i have no problem getting rid of iguodala but he will always be a more valuable player than thad and dont think that on a good team thad is going to be anything more than a bench contributor
Speaking of incredibly awkward...my feet hurt watching Darius Songolia run the floor last night. Holy Christ.
songalia had like 12 minutes of run last night and moreese had a coaches decision
My point is it was 12 minutes too long.
alright so im running through this box score, a few things stand out (besides how awful they are)
1. andres nocioni fouled out in 30 minutes. 30 minutes! thats it! how is that possible when you dont even try to play defense?
2. spencer hawes took one less shot (7) than evan turner (8) and he played 12 minutes to turner's 43. what. the. farg. is. that.
3. tony battie got a 17 minute run off the bench. why? what could this possibly accomplish. hes older than rome and taking time away from someone who at one point was good in mo speights. i dont understand this franchises fixation on washed up veterans that bring nothing to the table besides dominating rookies at cards on the team plane.
4. lou williams: 12 minutes, 0-7 from the field, 0 points. does doug collins hate him?
5. elton brand with a 27 and 8...even against the raptors this is good. 1 more year of this and he becomes tradeable.
6. iguodala has fully gone into tank mode until he gets traded. got to hand it to him, he could have done this 2 years ago and didnt. i guess his play in the worlds changed his mind. good for him.
7. a combined 55 points from sonny weems and andrea bargnani. whats the point in even trying to make a joke about that?
can someone tell me what exactly im supposed to look forward to with this team? theyre playing hard? theyre young? jeru? what is there?
Another lottery pick. I root for them to win, but in the back of my mind I'm always a little happy they lost because they'll get a better pick.

1. youve never seen nocioni play if you dont think he plays defense...and hes like the nba's version of dale hunter
2. turner is timid as hell...if he had half the confidence of john wall hed be a much better player....hopefully experience will cure this
3. battie is their only physical inside presence...hes all they got and when hes not in the game their interior defense is laughably bad
4. while nowhere near eddie jordan collins roation decisions are at best questionable...that said 0-7 is generally gonna get lou on the bench...if he isnt scoring then he shouldnt be playing
5. say what you want about elton brand but with more cake than a lil fat kid and playing in front of 5k every night for the worst team in the league could easily have him giving up or taking nights off....he never does
6. see above and reverse it
7. sixers give up i think 105 a game....me and you would get ours against them
I have to think Lou Williams is still nursing that sprained shoulder. Since he came back (after just sitting one game), he has been pretty tentative taking it to the rack and his release looks different to me.

so theyre just horrendous and most likely never going to get any better?
Quote from: MDS on November 18, 2010, 11:49:17 AMso theyre just horrendous and most likely never going to get any better?
I fully believe they'll return to ~.500 mediocrity in some season in the not too distant future. Take the best we've seen since 2003 and that's probably their ceiling for the next 5 years unless they luck into drafting someone who is flat-out dominant.
With the exception of about 3-4 years of peak AI/brown performance, that's been the story for 20 years and they've given us no reason to expect different.
The Sixers blew a 15 or so point lead(multiple times) and missed 2 FTs with 8 seconds left and then fouled Wall on a 35 footed allowing him to make 3 FTs to tie it up.
Yes, it's that bad.
14 secs left, game on the line and iggy couldn't look more disinterested in the huddle
...and then he misses the potential game tying shot. shocking.
He doesn't want to play here anymore, and it shows. He's a loser and has always been one. He thinks he's way better than he is. He'll be traded by the deadline.
Hopefully Brand keeps putting up 20/10 so he can be traded too.
They showed their youth today
lol iguadala doesnt wanna play anymore yet he was the best sixer by miles and just missed a trible double
i didnt think it was possible to top the last loss in DC but last nigth easily suprassed it...that final sequence was beyond painful
what is painful is and will be every single game the sixers will ever play against the wizards and wall. farging ping-pong balls.
yep...haunting for the next 15 years
how bout the contrast last night right in front of our eyes within three seconds of each other
et chokes away two game winning free throws
wall makes three must haves with ease
I'm guessing this obsessiveness over 1 and 2 is just to compare the stark difference between the two players right?
Because the Sixers were lucky as shtein to even get the #2 pick (not turner but the #2 pick). Now your haunted for the next 15 years they didn't get the 1st pick in the draft. Makes zero sense.
Yeah-and the game made me sick last night.
yeah it makes zero sense to be upset about just missing out on john wall...wtf?
and the bullets moved from 5th to 1st...its not like the sixers jumped up and lost out to the team that was supposed to win it...or even the 2nd 3rd or 4th team
but hey if you didnt care what happened when there were two envelopes left and were just happy the sixers got that high up then congrats

On a smaller scale it reminded me of Kane/JVR.
Athleticism and skill aside, that Wall could hit 3 free throws with the game on the line but Turner couldn't hit one to seal the game speaks volumes of the players we're dealing with.
its especially funny because that would be the one scenario where you might actually give the advantage to et
you know wall is the phreak athlete with skills off the charts and whose gonna put up huge numbers but might brick a free throw when you need it...and et is the rock solid older than his years composed clutch guy whos gonna solidly knock down the big free throws
NOPE

yup
I wish Turner portrayed the "older than his years" persona, but truth is he's just kid right now that does not exude the confidence or aggressiveness needed to play with the older guys. You can see it written all over his face as well.
It doesnt help either that because of the conflicting personalities on this team like Iggy and Brand-who want to dominate any chance they get- it's killing his maturation process of even wanting to be aggressive with the ball. Dude gets an earful every time from them
So Reggie Evans gets 12 pts and 22 rebounds on the Sixers. Now I'm pumped.
The Sixers who might be the worst team in the history of sports gave the Heat the fight of their lives tonight.
Meeks should play more.
So, what is the absolute best case scenario for Evan Turner? In the win tonight, he played 19 minutes, scoring 1 point on 0-for-4 from the field.
Blech.
hes so farging awful its beyond depressing
so if anyone cares, my buddy had first row tickets behind the basket tonight. He got picked to do the shooting game at half time, gotta make a layup, FT, and 3 within 45 seconds. He sunk all of them first try and won NBA 2k11 and ice cream for his entire row.

5 years ago I represented Greater Media in the Sixers season ticket holders appreciation day. We got to meet Lou Williams, then do this challenge on the court. They put a bunch of circles around and you have to stand on them and hit buckets while your partner dishes you the ball. I posted up from behind the arc and hit my zone (8 points for each bucket) and had the high score of the first round. My partner missed every shot including a layup and we were bounced. The winner played World B. Free and Billy King in the finals. You all care.

ET has played much better with IGGY out of the lineup as well, but looks lost when Iggy is back in the lineup and just stands in a corner ala Bruce Bowen.
Hopefully Brand keeps playing well and we can finally start to fully rebuild this team by getting rid of him and Iggy.

Iggy can't shoot.
either can turner
not to mention iguodala is 50 times the player turner is right now and a veteran...he made himself look foolish when he did those hysterics but like the little guy said id have done it too if that alien got the ball over me in that spot
No doubt Turner did that because Iguodala never passes him the ball.
I cant tell you how many times I see Iguodala drive to the basket and Turners over there on the wing waving his arms like the St. Joes hawk.

This.
I wouldn't have a problem with Iggy's bitching if he wasn't 2/50 on every last second shot he's taken. Not saying he isn't a better option than Turner, but lets not act like Iggy has some history of being clutch either.
I cant even believe what I saw tonight from this team. Up by 18 at one point, 13 in the 4th and blew it again.
Iguodala hands down the worst jump shooter in the league. 3 consecutive wide open shots--3 misses. No reason why they shouldnt get 1st pick in next years draft--which wont mean jack shtein because this could be the worst draft coming up in nba history.
It might be a bad draft but you still play for the earliest possible pick because it holds value in a trade or cap space.
They farging lost? WTF? Last I saw this afternoon they were up by 18 points. Jesus h Christ!
Any opinion on Meeks one way or the other?
i love the guy...thought he would be more of an instant offense/the three point shooter they have been missing type guy more than a starting two but he has taken it to the rim much better than i ever thought he could in the league...still a long way away from being a full time two but its amazing what hes doing with a little confidence
Yeah I like what I've seen but admittedly had no clue how his game would translate on an nba level.
Anyone hear the discussion between Zumoff and Snow during the game last night? After the 20 second mark, I don't even know what the hell they're talking about. And I especially don't know what point Snow is trying to make. At first, it sounds like he's saying that the Cleveland scrubs made Lebron better....then he goes on to talk about Lebron being a superstar. I'm confused. But I do know that if this is what Sixers broadcasts sound like every night, then I'm really glad I can't watch.

Honestly I was trying to watch the game last night and couldn't they make the games unbearable. Not like the Sixers are that much fun to watch anyway.
zumoff is a god...e snow is the hindenburg
btw if the sixers can learn how to win on the road look out...
That conversation really is stunning, only because Eric Snow made it that way.
He sounded so farging dumb there. When the game is on Zumoff is the only guy I hear anyway because he actually brings something relevant and coherent to the game.
And igy- look out for what?
look out for a machine
Zumoff is great. Him and Mix were a lot of fun to listen to. That was the first commentary I've heard from Snow since he started. Yikes. Did the Sixers not audition him for the job? I'd imagine that when it comes to interviewing for a job like commentating, you'd actually have to sit down and call a game for a few minutes or something. Maybe even have Zumoff in there with the candidates to see who he has the best repoir with. Just based on that 2 minute exchange, it sounded like the 2 of them had met for the first time right before tip off.
The Sixers beating the Cavs makes me believe that they could reach that number and beyond.
30 wins is their ceiling. I'll stick with my 25 wins prediction but wouldn't be surprised if they finished below that.

ten of twelve have a combined win % of over .800
beat the best or die like the rest
FF, he wants you to lay down a 10 team parlay for $2.72 against the Sixers. He's helping you dude.

don't ever talk bad about sheed. love that guy.
i really dont care who hes a lackey for...very few analysts are going to rip guys they played with or against....all i care is that he can break down the game and add shtein....and he does that...the suprising part of him is how he has no personality when he carried one of the all time biggest on the court

what a sickening last two minutes of that quarter
Here we go the dreaded 4th quarter.
but as long as Erden is on the floor the Sixers have a shot at this.
I see Erden and I hear igy saying "chain smoking euro trash"
4th quarter you got have more of a press than this.
You can just let Rondo tip-toe pass the free throw lane. Cmon.

this win would be sooooo farging big for this team
that fat ass right behind doc is so awesome.
lol @ allen posing after that shot
you aint playin the lakers rookie
what on gods earth was the meek man doing on defense there...he looked like a chicken with his head cut off...how the farg do you lose ray allen and somehow end up on rondo 25 feet from the basket
such a weak effort by jeru there....why are you reaching around and poking at the ball...stay in front of him
So who takes this shot?
can't believe andre took that shot

just atrocious despicable steaming hot poop.^&#&^#&%&%#&%&#%&%#
Was there any doubt how this was going to end?
Is there another athlete in sports more despicable than KG?
He makes fun of cancer patients, he pounds his chest with drool flying out of his mouth. I would pay to see that guy get his ass kicked. Villanueva would beat the shtein out of him.
i cannot believe that just happened...and just inexcusable not to have a time out left there

i agree that he's made an amazing change from lovable to dick, i've talked about this on here before, but tonight he didn't do anything. rondo was actually the guy punching KGs chest. still a shteinhead though.

I just watched the replay. WTF was with that? Son of a bitch.
yeah i dont see what kg did either....in fact if you cared more about kg at that moment than the sixers losing pound yourself in the face
Great outcome. More ping pong balls with each loss, but more confidence by playing a good team tight. Also, they covered, which is really all I gave a shtein about anyway.
Yeah that's wonderful.
Dont spend that $6.50 all in one place.
It's nice to have fans. Freak.
this team is so butta
Feeling pretty damn good about betting on this team today. Holy hell what has gotten into them?
they traded in the princeton offense for some honest to goodness defense
from three point range
meek man 0-3
iguodala 3-4
Trade Iggy while his value is high, or hop on board the train?
iguodala hitting threes is like victorino hitting homeruns. it's a benefit in the short term, but it's detrimental in the long term because he's just going to try and do that more.
cant go wrong either way really...hes playing so good right now so it would be the perfect time to move him...but what kind of value are you gonna get
80-53 with six minutes left lol
NO looking ahead to heat
had no interest in playing a nooner against an awful team that turns out is mediocre
why did they bring brackins back from the NDBL just to sit in street clothes on the bench?
it was pre determined that he was gonna do a five game stint down there
oh ok, he was playing pretty well down there apparently
lol at iguodala....giving the hornets a pass because it was a noon game..."i could tell those guys hadnt woke up"
Sixers are 100/1 to win the East. I like it.
lock and load
I could only bring myself to invest $3 in that. $5 seemed like too much.
But seriously, New Orleans shot 14% from the floor in the first half. Incredibly bad.
they had one fg in the second quarter
I haven't watched a basketball game in about 10 years but this Jrue Holiday kid seems like a real mature young man. Is he any good?
sixers playing almost a perfect game
ugly but they got it done late on the road.....baby steps
yeah that shtein was close yet again
how nice has Jrue been developing since the beginning of the season. crazy improvement off the dribble and the fast break pass.
Doug Collins is a breath of fresh air.
spencer brought his big boy pants tonight
He brought them yesterday too
yeah he was a beast last night
trust me i wish they had a goto stud but i love how this team is so deep...thad goes for 31 last week...then he blows last night and hawes leads the team in scoring...iguodala will have an off night and lou will drop 25...then the next night iguodala has a triple double...ect...
and there's always joooooooooooooooodi
he would fall under ect...
you put baby jordan under etc...ban
you mean mini microwave
e snow keeps saying vinnie del knee-gro
how awesome is it that E-snow prononces DelNegro like negro, the southern way to say the n-word
damn you
what a great farging quarter
The last couple nights Hawes is showing why he was so highly touted coming out in that draft... this team is growing on me again.
halfway through the 4th and they have 2 turnovers. that's incredible.
jinxy mcjinx over here
They are so much better to watch here over the last few games. Even E. Snow isn't working on my nerves as much.
And one positive for the John Wall/Evan Turner lottery miss... John Wall has missing like a game per week... hopefully injuries don't derail his career.

predict the results thru the new year
lakers
at orlando
at chicago
at boston
at denver
at golden state
at pheonix
at lakers
at new orleans
by all accounts they should go winless but im gonna say 2-7
I'm gonna say 3-6 or 4-5 because they're the type of team that sneaks up on other teams.
id like them for more wins on this stretch except golden state is a back to back the suns are at the back end of three in four nights and new orleans is at the very end of the trip...so the "easiest" games dont set up well
lakers - L
at orlando - L
at chicago - W
at boston - L
at denver - W
at golden state -W
at pheonix - L
at lakers - L
at new orleans - W
a very respectable 4-5
i would be estatic but i think its a little much to ask them to double their season total for road wins on this trip
to get four wins on this stretch i think they almost have to beat the lakers tomorrow nite
you couldnt ask for a more horrendous road trip
settle down, reese.
i mean, it's not like they're playing miami nine times in a row.
now why would you want to wake up Cole like that?
can't resist.
Try harder.
I say they go 4-5... they upset Boston and Orlando and beat GS and NEw Orleans..
In other news, what's with ESPN manufacturing rivalries... it's really embarrassing... Boston/NYC has no history in basketball... but now ESPN is forcing it down our throats.

There's nothing worse than when Iggy hits a couple of 3's early then starts sloppily jacking them up when the game is close. I hate his stupid hunched shoulder "look at me trying to be cool" demeanor. At least Hawes is starting to look like a player.
Yeah, Iggy all of sudden thought he was friggin Eddie House. I cant stand when he pulls that shtein.
Hawes has turned into a guy that looked like he swigged a flask of bourbon in the locker room before each game to start the season, to a guy that would sorely be missed if he ever got injured. He played out of his mind tonight--while all the shooters couldnt buy a bucket. Its a shame because they had the Lakers by the nuts all game.

Not going to complain with the timing of the Magic trade. Need 3 more W's on the trip for it to be successful.
this team has turned deep and is playing some incredible defense.

turner is amazingly bad
90-50. End of the 3rd.
Really?!
theres gonna be a couple of these on this trip
is anyone drafted below turner doing significantly better? how bad of a pick could this turn out to be
DeMarcus Cousins is averaging 12 & 7
plus he was the number 2 pick....people below him arent supposed to be better...and really thats the comedy part of all this...how bad he is for a number 2 overall....its one thing if you flop but this guy literally cant play...hes validly terrible...i didnt expect a whole lot from him....but jesus its painful watching him
Quote from: MDS on December 21, 2010, 11:46:59 PM
is anyone drafted below turner doing significantly better? how bad of a pick could this turn out to be
They had offers for him, no idea what they were but people said they were decent. I brought up the scenario during the draft of trading Turner + Brand and other crap for some cap space. igy said he'd do it, I was on the fence because I bought into the Turner hype. What I'm hoping is other teams go with the "he still has upside" mentality and make a trade for him. I doubt the Sixers are smart enough to pull that off though. I'm afraid what we have is Calbert Cheaney part deux.
no matter what i thought and everyone knows how i felt about him coming out hes been much worse
did you see him throw up that airball last night from like nine feet
turner is exactly what i thought he was going to be...granted its still early but he's never going to be more than serviceable. get used to favors swatting him out of bounds like he did the other night.
and cousins is still gonna be the truth.
yeah...and he is horrid. When Doug Collins dnp's you and you're young and healthy you know there's problems. More than anything he's not a fit for this team. If Jrue wasn't so good I'd be willing to put him at the point to see if he develops, but as of right now he has no place on this team. The NBA isn't like other leagues where you have a guy with talent, can play them as a backup or in the minors and hope they develop, at this level you either sink or swim.
especially a three year college player whos gonna be 23....its not like he was a one and done 18 year old
that was one of my big things with him....the fact that he had no real upside for a #2 overall pick
I really bought into the Turner hype. After watching him in the summer league are started to get concerned, but now jesus christ. I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt because he was switching positions, but he hasn't shown dick.
well maybe he now has an upside since he has proven to be worse than anyone ever thought
Quote from: ice grillin you on December 22, 2010, 11:59:04 AM
well maybe he now has an upside since he has proven to be worse than anyone ever thought
:-D Im laughing but that shtein is sad. No one thought he would be this bad.
i know he was a slow starter at ohio st...maybe thats it. theres your nonsensical hope.
When Turner was starting you could see him starting to develop his all around game. Hell, there was even games in all of those losses where turner was the bright spot on the floor. Even the Miami game where Wade was covering him pretty tight he put up like 16/5/7 or something like that. He was boarding his ass off and facilitating plays better than anyone on the court.
Problem was consistency caught up with him, and he earns himself on the bench for Meeks because Doug Colling needs points on the scoreboard--and Turner is not that guy.
I dont think hes horrible and he still has a legit shot to be good at this level because he knows the game better than most rookies/players, plays solid defense, and he puts himself good positions on the court. Some players never understand that. I just dont think it can happen on the Sixers with Jrue developing into a stud. Hes got the handle, but Turner needs to work on his penetration and jump shot in the off-season. Until then, he plays sparingly or rides wood.
amazing that a team like the sixers would be getting all the calls in the garden....but the celtics have 17 team fouls including four on pierce and three on garnett and the sixers 5
oh and collins saw enough of turner last night....he hasnt played a second this evening
8 and a half to go, tie game....I want to see what happens here when Garnett and Pierce come back on the court.
what a pouty loser iguodala is. trade, trade, trade, trade.
nice farging ball handling...all time most hated philly athlete
I cant even believe Jrue doesnt have the ball in his hands right now
farg iguodala and his non-ball handling ass
two clutch possessions with the ball in his hands and NOTHING
another farg up--there was no foul on iguodala there...he just Hoyda'ed the ball
why they continue to give it to this guy for the last second shot is beyond me
I'm not even kidding when I say Igoudala is in my top 5 most hated Philly athletes of all time. Piece of shtein.
you better not let havas hear this
he still hasnt gotten over "the godfather" being traded
i do miss the godfather....their interior d is so awful...one of the reasons they match up fairly well with the celtics is because no one on their team goes hard to the basket either on offense where they are all jump shooters or on defense/offense as they are a terrible rebounding team...rondo obviously can get to the hoop but hes not a strong finisher at all
last night blasted you in the face with the two major differences in the teams...a go to guy...you saw what pierce did in the last minute vs what iguodala did....sixers just dont have that go to guy...and defensive rotations...the celtics are the best in the nba when it comes to defensive rotations...they make the right switch almost everytime and they always do at the end of the game.....where as the sixers lose more men than the iraqi army
The interior d has been fine over this nice stretch they had. In case you missed it, they beat down Dwight Howard on the inside, swatted the shtein out of him and did the same thing to Gasol. The players have done a nice job doubling down in the post and rotating on the wing.
That joke of a basketball player you call the godfather would actually make this team worse than they are because at least now you have 3 guys fighting for a rebound every shot with less turnovers. Matter of fact I'll take Hawes with his outside shot and hustle on defense all day over that dish washing drunk idiot.
ha...because of the trades the magic essentially had to play with six players that game....howard talked about how difficult a game it was for him and how spent...you know how hard it was and how tired he got...he only went for 26 and 20
and of course youd rather have spencer hawes a soft seven footer who cant rebound defend or block shots because he hustles...who are you james naismith?
the reason the sixers are much more competitive this year is because of their three point defense...which is incredibly improved and lost them uncountable numbers of games the last few years....the reason they arent over .500 tho is because their interior defense and rebounding took a hit with the loss of the godfather and is subpar at best
they wouldnt be a very good team no matter who their center is but if youd rather have spencer hawes in the middle than the godfather you are stupid or insane or both
i think what you really mean is youd rather have spencer hawes and doug collins than the godfather and eddie jordan....and this i agree with
Not sure you are noticing Spencer Hawes' play either because you choose not to because hes white or you have your face in a bowl of Samoan ice cream. Either way, I don't know if this is a fluke or what, but Hawes is a completely different basketball player than what we saw in the beginning of the season.
Still, I'll leave it up to you to like one of the dumbest centers ever to wear an NBA uniform. Flat out truth.
another white elder strikes again
ill take dumb negros who rebound block shots and defend the rim
you can have doughy white centers who cant play in the paint and are fundementally sound
Get the almond joy out of your mouth and watch Hawes' interior game
White elder? What am I 3 yrs older than you?
You just seem to choose to forget all the goaltending, 3 second calls, never pass, 28 ft shots, and the worst fouls at the worst moment plays Dalembert made because well, just because. But yeah-let's get rebounds.
ok adolph rupp....you got it
Respect your elders.
Iguodala is horrible... I got home in time to watch the game I'd rather have Willie Green on this team and taking those last minute possessions then farging Iguodala.
As for sammy D, the dude was a horrible interior defender. He rebounded well and blocked shots off the ball, but please don't pretend like he had a clue about defensive rotations.
so birdman got some more ink..neck looks like a farging psychedelic coloring book
pretty money comeback to beat the nuggs..go team
I thought this was gonna be a nuggets route after the pathetic display of basketball I saw in the 1st quarter.

i thought they would beat denver regardless but btwn the magic trades and carmelos family death they have caught some nice breaks on this trip thus far...already at the two wins i predicted tho for th reasons i just mentioned they could easily be oh-fer
so lou is out last night making et the first guard off the bench and he got close to 30 minutes id say...somehow and i was very confused by how collins handled jeru - turner got more minutes than holliday...and promptly scored 15 less pts
Plus minus might be a meaningless stat, but if it's not, Hawes and Turner were abysmal last night.
its certainly not all encompassing but it means a lot more in basketball than hockey
turners was bad because he cant play offense and hawes was bad because he cant play defense
this sixers cost me what i thought was a slam dunk 3 team parlay
(chicago over toronto, new orleans over atlanta)
i hate them right now
Biggest win of the season. Has Evan Turned a corner?
no and no
its a very good win but phoenix is a shell of their former selves...i think both knick wins and the celtic win were more impressive
im guessing youre being facetious regarding et?
it was a great game to watch, but Phoenix is pathetic on defense.
i don't think it was a season changing game for him, but it was nice to see ET hitting big shots when they needed them.
it was nice seeing him hit shots period
nash was never a good defender but now its downright pathetic....and the suns are softer inside than even the sixers
before last night the sixers had scored over a 100 once in like the last three weeks....then last night they rip off a 123 piece...thats all you need to know about the suns
i think its great they won on the road at all but i just dont think its a great win in the big scheme of things....beating boston a couple weeks ago would have been a great win

you mean you couldn't tell from "has Evan Turned a corner"
what a farging horseshtein call that was and they cant even correct it via replay....like a ball is going to fly out of bounds like that when thad is trying to grab it...it can only happen because someone is trying to knock it away
happy new year you cork sucking refs
Thad on top, Barnes on the bottom--that has to be a jump ball.
What a farging game though. Turner played extremely well--except for those 3 missed shot that would of been huge.
Regardless, this team is so much improved. From perimeter d to shooting to distributing the ball. They have already exceeded my expectations for this year.
it wasnt even close to a jump....i saw the first time in fast motion as it was happening that barnes clearly hit it out...like i said a ball doesnt fly out of bounds from a guy trying to grab it...he might fumble the ball and drop it out of bounds but it doesnt shoot out unless a guy it hitting it in that direction...its farging refereeing 101 that even if you didnt see it who actually touches it you go by the speed and/or trajectory of the ball
THEN on the replay barnes clearly hits it out...not so much the one shot that was sort of from above...but the other one from the camera that was lower and right on the baseline
I thought it was inconclusive and should have been a jump ball. Regardless, they had 2 or 3 good looks at a 3 to win it but couldn't sink it.
Turner 32 min, 2-14
Lou Will 30 min, 1-11
that's how you lose a basketball game
Way to throw it out of bounds, Kapono.
no one will admit it but they miss iguodala
When a team has so little talent, it's hard not to admit that anyone with any talent isn't missed. Watching last night's game was painful - not Joe Webb running circles around the defense painful, but close.
You didnt see a game last night that represented a team with little talent. You saw/will continue to see a very young team with plenty of talent that is just a product of inconsistency.
2 more pieces, 2 more years in Collins' system this team competes at a high level every night.
im pretty sure collins aint gonna be here for 2 more years..

You're watching something I'm not watching. Who has above average talent on the Sixers? Name 3 players with a ceiling above average for a NBA player, please. Just 3.
You said little talent I'm telling you these guys have plenty of talent and it has showed on the court.
Jrue (who will be an all star) Thad, Turner (who you can't judge) and L Williams.
You can't come out and preach how bad they suck after losses like this when they're balling their ass off down to the wire with the Celtics and Lakers twice.

I think he is. These players have responded well to his offensive philosophy and especially on the defensive end. That has been their achilles for years. You can't take this brutal road trip and lopsided losses as a reason Collins not being here in the future.
Now unless his health catches up to him you're right he probably won't be here, but this year was fully supposed to be a rebuilding year regardless.

You said little talent I'm telling you these guys have plenty of talent and it has showed on the court.
Jrue (who will be an all star) Thad, Turner (who you can't judge) and L Williams.
You can't come out and preach how bad they suck after losses like this when they're balling their ass off down to the wire with the Celtics and Lakers twice.
I didn't say that they don't play hard. I think Collins is a great coach, and they have some players who can make some nice things happen in his system if things go right.
I love Jrue's talent/upside, but saying that any of those other three guys is significantly above average talent-wise is speculative at best.
i meant due to his health..otherwise, he'll be here - he and rod go way back
Turner is still speculative, but has plenty of talent. He just needs to do a lot of work in the off season or 2 off-seasons and put it all together.
Jrue, Thad (who I think is much improved especially finishing inside) and Williams all can get even better. These 3 guys along with Brand have showed a different side of them this season that I didn't think would happen.

This is a fancy way of saying the team is exceeding expectations, right? If so, I agree. They are overachieving and still mediocre/bad.
lou has no more upside...i like what he is and its nice to have his type of potential instant offense off the bench but thats the extent of him as a player
turner is not talented....thats his problem...hes smart and he has nice size but hes as vanilla as it gets...i see him getting better but he has below average nba talent which severely limits his ceiling
thad young is just another nba player who will probably end up being on 7 or 8 teams before hes done
five minutes left in the first and ive yet to have sound for this game....farging morons
still no sound....has this ever happened before for this length of time?
Try the button on your remote marked "M-U-T-E"
Zumoff sounds great in surround sound
still no sound
Its hard when you have to play down to the wizards horrendous defense, but these 2 teams do battle it out.
I love watching Jrue play point. The kid is just a flat out stud this year.
i think he shoots a little too much early in the shot clock, but that's some he'll learn as he plays more.
sometimes i think he starts the offense too late into a possession, but again experience should help with that
Yeah he does.....but Im amazed at the improvement hes made since the first 10 games. It really is like night and day with him. He was making the most horrendous passes, taking horrible shots, never passing the ball to players off the curl, penetrating into no mans land. Something just clicked with him or Collins is a genius.
The control he has with the ball now, his handle, balance in the paint, passing inside, and the consistency of his shot are 5x's better.
i myself am AMAZED that a 19 year who was really good as a rookie would get better
almost as AMAZED as a 20 year old struggling to run a brand new offense
Holiday didn't start showing avg skills till mid march last year when the season was just about over--and he wasnt even remotely close to the players he is now from last year
There was no guarantee he was going to be anything special, especially running point full time in this offense. Please stop acting like you know shtein because you liked Rajon Rondo coming out of Kentucky.
But you're going to continue acting like you know shtein, right?
damn right. I do my shtein--especially when it comes to ball. you on the other hand love to bet 23 game nba parlays.
Your shtein isn't working. Try something else.
print that post out, blow it up and hang it on your desk. it will help you with your gambling problem.
Based on your analysis of the Sixers' roster, I could convince myself that I have above-average insight on sports betting. Shiny happy people, reesey.

pegged.
started getting deja vu with about 2 minutes left in the game last night. had to laugh when they showed the last seconds of both previous wizards games, iggy throwing up a brick.
it's taken me longer than most but andre isn't helping this team. send him somewhere to be the #2 guy and have a chance at winning some games and let these guys find themselves.
I was laughing when I saw Hawes, Kapono and Nocioni on the floor at the same time. When was the last time 3 white dudes played together?
every night at duke
or at conseco
Revenge
They lose this game if Iggy plays
bulls one of the best defensive teams in the league and they worked them
meeks coming through big time
So is Meeks the 5th player on the team with above average NBA talent?
Jrue
Turner
Thad
LouWill
Meeks
THIS TEAM CANNOT BE STOPPED.
They have a lot of nice support players, it's a shame they can't get that one superstar.

I can buy floor seats on stubhub for the Clippers game in march for 55 each. Baseline to the left of one of the backboards about 6 rows deep. Haven't been to an NBA game of any sort in about 6 or 7 years and haven't been to a 76ers game since they played in the Spectrum. Plus there's a possibility that Blake Griffin might sweat on me.

Not sure. When I clicked on those same seats for a Lakers game it just said for me to contact the loan officer at my bank.
Quote$55 for sixth row floor is a great deal. Are the Clippers drawing any better now with the whole Blake Griffin craze?
I have no idea. I'd imagine that they draw a little bit better than before now that he's on the court but the Lakers own the LA market and nothing short of several consecutive playoff runs along with a solid head to head record vs the Lakers is going to dramatically increase attendance.
Bums. Awful loss to Indiana tonight.
1 point in 33 minutes. I can't watch em when he's playing
BUT HE CONTRIBUTES DEFENSIVELY
Speights was the best player on the team tonight aside from Jrue. HHooooo boy.
Such a frustrating loss. No hands in the face at the stripe on Collison pretty much all game.
Brand got abused inside off of pick in rolls by friggin Jeff foster of all people.
And I guess there are 3 other white dudes playing at the same time as well--Foster, Dunleavy and Hanesbrough. Awesome.
There's nothing worse than when they come from behind from a large deficit only to blow it in the end.
And they would have lost anyway but down by 6 with .30 left in the game you obviously need a 3 so Iggy drives the lane and butchers a layup. I can't wait till he's fully back so he can jack pointless 3's killing momentum and pretend drive the lane then take an unbalanced shot off 1 foot. This team is so much better off without him it's sickening.
where is havas to defend glasses mcgoo aka "the best player on the sixers"
you loser
best player on the sixers isnt sying much but he 100% is....altho jeru is rapidly gaining on him...gotta remember hes got a bum achilles and probably shouldnt even be playing now...i understand if you just dont like him or you hate his contract but dont be ignorant about the game
its akin to me hating the bed wetter as much as i do and because of that saying he was a horrible quarterback for the eagles
iguodala is a good player who like 90% of the players in the nba has deficiencies....at the same time he does more than most players in the league...im not saying nor have i ever said hes a great player but its just laughable beyond belief when people say hes the worst player on the team or that thad young or lou williams is better
is he a #1 option....farg no
is he a good all around player....farg yes
I wouldn't have a problem with Iguodala if he played within the system and didn't delude himself into thinking he was a star. You can tell by the shots that he takes, his interviews, and the way he carries himself on the court that he thinks he's an upper echelon player. In todays NBA where a lot of teams have more than one superstar he's a 3rd option. He needs to stop playing like he's a guy who can carry the team and take pointless shots like AI did. AI could put the team on his shoulders and carry them, he can't...not even close.
He'd fit well on a team with an established superstar because he'd be forced to take his ego down a peg and play within their system.
i thinks hes been more than fine in he system....he doesnt try and do to much...hes i think third or fourth on the team in attemps per game and second in assists...does he throw up shots out of his range too often sure he does...but as far as perimeter players go he doesnt take worse shots than anyone else on the team...i think the frustration comes from him not being a good shooter so when he bricks a shot or has a bad miss people equate that to bad shot selection as opposed to just missing the shot
and hes always the first guy off the bench waving a towel when someone does something good...even when hes in street clothes...i defnitely dont think he thinks he better than anyone else or is above the system
bottom line is the guy has trouble shooting the ball and always will
There are some players that can take off balance shots (Lou Williams/AI) and make them frequently. Then there are guys who need to keep both feet planted and square to the basket so they can get a good shot off (Brand). He does this on occasion, but most of his shots are drive attempts which he pulls up then launches up a prayer off one foot. It's annoying and frustrating.
lol at everything else you wrote about him being a rah rah guy off the bench.
thats one thing i love about this team...they are so happy for each other when someone does well and give mad support...and just in general they have so much fun playing together...its amazing the difference btwn this year and last and how the mood is so much brighter because eddie jordan is gone
I'm on board with Collins. He has them playing smart basketball and you can tell the players react better to him than they did to Jordan. They just need more talent (obviously). I'd like to see them make the playoffs because the experience would be great for the young guys but at the same time they need players so I'd like to see them get a better draft pick even if the talent is scarce. Right now is really about building for two years from now when they can get cap space.

everybody except Iguodala...his body language on the court absolutely sucks. he is always looking around at someone throwing his hands up in the air if something bad happens. he's turning into a bitch like McNabb
That's funny you mention that because I'm sitting there yelling at the dude through my tv last night to shut the farg up, get back on d and play ball. I mean it's almost every time down the court-every game.
That's the superstar diva in him and I can't figure it out. You want to complain-work a guy off an iso one time and take it to the hole for a finish, then maybe you'll get the call.
I don't have the huge hate like SD because he is very valuable on the defensive end and transition play- both passing and finishing, but he is a very confused player.

every player does it...even brand occasionally...jeru who i wanna procreate with does it all the time...doesnt change the fact that iguodala is first off the bench after a run waving a towel while hes wearing a shirt and tie
that's fine...stay in the shirt and tie
I'll give credit where it's due, Iguodala played a well rounded game tonight. Nice defensive stop at the end.
Lou Will sucks at trying to draw a foul
choked away another double-digit lead in the 4th then Lou saved their asses
dont forget iguodala with the game winning jumper and 16 10 and 6
The Sixers have as many home wins (12) as they had all of last season.
Is there a bigger retard in the NBA than Iguodala? How in the world do you foul a guy taking a 3 when you're up by 4 with .20 left? God I hate him.
And yeah that almost went in but why take an off balance fade away 3 when all you need is a bucket to win it?
Let's just strap some wind turbines to Iguodala's skull and call him the anti-christ.

hes the best player ever on the sixers of all time ever

He ranks below Kenny Payne, Shawn Bradley and Sharone Wright.

lol @ blaming iguodala for a phantom call where he didnt touch his man and completely not mentioning lou williams running thru jj reddick
i dont know whats worse sd watchign the game and attacking iguodala or the lil guy for not seeing the game and doing it...anyway the obsession lives on
also forgot to mention also that the sixers had eight pts in OT six by igudala and the other two off a great pass by andre
anyway i digress...the game itelf was as painful a loss as ive been thru in quite a while...what hurt so bad was that the team actually executed beautifully down the stretch....something they never do...jeru was great in the last minute of regulation and andre in OT...only crunch time shots they missed both went half way down and out...lous heave at the reg buzzer and andres runner in OT...so they for once come up big down the stretch and lose on two four point plays...they might not give up another four point play the rest of the year
i do agree with sd in that why is lou taking a fade away 26 footer in that spot...i also hate how collins always takes the ball out of jerus hands at the end of games...last night i could see doing it for iguodala cause turkoglu was on him and andre could get him anytime he wanted...and fine if you wanna give it to lou cause he has a better first step than jeru and want him to get to the hole and have everypne else crash then make sure lou farging drives...jeru could have heaved up that three pointer
in general though how is jeru gonna learn and get end of game experience if he doesnt have the ball in those spots...its like taking your rookie qb out of the game in two minute offenses
The D down the stretch was beautiful
he still needs to work on getting around screens but jerus on the ball defense is just outstanding
Quote from: ice grillin you on January 20, 2011, 09:59:19 AM

This is on point
And I think you mentioned it but I wish they'd let Jrue handle the ball more down the stretch. Lou is friggen hit or miss late in games, he either comes up big or flounders like he did lastnight. When pressed he hesitates and panics which causes him to take bad shots or dish a bad pass. Give him an open look and he hits it.
I'm actually getting optimistic about this team. I don't think they're gonna win shtein, but I'm over hoping they lose to get a better draft pick. At this point I think they make the playoffs, maybe even win a round, then keep building. In two years they get some cap space, so develop the young guys and bide time until then.
they still need that go to player...but they arent just growing on trees...so what they need to do first is get a defensive power forward...someone that will just smash bodies and put elbows into things...an antonio davis type or shtein even a rick mahorn would completely transform this team...farging hedo turkalugo was dunking on people last night

Agreed and Battie should be shot for letting him glide right by him.
They desperately need a 'go to' player, and you're right they don't grow off trees. That's why I wanted Carmelo. Sure he's an ass and doesn't want to be here but he'd be an instant upgrade and is a guy you could build around.
forget about Hedo dunking on people. when you have ryan friggin anderson looking like kevin garnett down low we got problem.
somehow someway the sixers always make the mediocre to below avg player look like a superstar each game. whether its Jeff Foster, Ryan Anderson or Jose Juan Barera it will happen.

I have Comcast and it was on. The good news is it wasn't as painful as lastnights game. Iguodala had a solid game, although down by 3 he drew a foul beyond the line and went to the line to shoot 3 with a chance to tie, he only made two. That is him in a nutshell.
its not even possible for me to watch these games but i even i know iguodala is a fat waste of space
you could predicted that game going back to back off the orlando heartbreaker...close game with charlotte not being good enough to blow them out the sixers not having the juice to win at the end...thad young who is like the energizer bunny was the only player who had anything in the fourth quarter
game was really lost in the first half though when they refused to guard augustine...jeru was absolutely brian dead and let dj by him at will and it was obviously mental because in the second he he bared down and almost shut him out...and then and i hate to keep harping on it but how many times are you going to allow a layup by a six footer....it looked like a drill...farging someone should have flattened him after the third time he went to the rim....what the farg
augstine = pick up of the year in fantasy
sixers on nba netork for out of townies
sunny is there...gotta root em on hard tonight so he can see a win
Farg him. If he wants to see a win, he should go to a Flyers game or hold out for baseball season.
A win would be a mass suicide at a Sixers game.
jodi meeks is just worthless right now
excellent win...they guard their home court quite well these days...but this win cant help but make you salty about not winning at least one of the orlando or charlotte games
id also like to see them win a close game regardless of where its played
I'm happy for sunmo.
im not, hes not a good person
but 3 questions:
1. in terms of a 2nd overall picks is evan turner the worst of the last 10 years? he sucks.
2. did nocioni really get a dnp cd or is he legit hurt
3. where was this lou williams 2 months ago
nocioni is legit hurt...hes missed the last three i think
turner is pretty god awful but he isnt the worst...dark milicic was a 2 overall...so was stromile wift i believe
what makes turner especially bad is how good he was in college and the expectations that he came in with...if you factor in those two things hes the worst number two in quite a while....if you discount people like jayson williams who got hurt
and lou williams has been this way since last season...he is a real nice player and could one day win best six man in the league...hes like a skinny microwave johnson
darko has actually become a solid but ultimately forgettable nba player. his numbers arent awful but obviously hes doing it on the twolves or grizzlies or something where no one cares
at this point how is turner going to be in the league in 3 years. his stat sheet is empty every night. what the farg does he do on the court?
he does nothing and if this is the best he ever is then perhaps hes the worst...but he hasnt even played an entire season and while i dont think hes going to become a player he could improve enough to not be the worst number 2 pick of the last decade or so
well i guess we have something to look forward to now
awesome when your hoping he turns out to be the 2nd worst #2 pick of the last decade
lol 2nd worst
go big or go home
youre that fan thats happy with always being in the hunt
you are either drunk or dumb....for now im gonna go with drunk
Imdrunk so farg you biotech!!
fun game last night
elton brand was a beast in the first half.
i hate iguodala even more after being at the game and watching the way he interacts with collins.
he's always waving his hands at him when doug is trying to tell himself. then he walks to the end of the bench when he comes out and doesn't even acknowledge the coach when he's trying to talk to him
Yep-he couldn't be any more blunt that he wants to be traded by the deadline.

first time in 9 years
unless theres an injury i dont know about it sure looked like after hawes took that awful early shot collins was like sit down dough boy you are done...cause he never saw the court again...i suppose he could have also sat because of who they were playing and the matchups...hawes doesnt exactly fit in against a small running team...but then why even start him
Have you ever notice that you frequently accentuate the negative?
i wasnt accentuating anything...just making an observation...that a guy who often starts and is a 20 minute man got just a few minutes last night...i cant just look at a final score and move on to the next night..thats boring

not sure why you would even bring up a spencer hawes scenario in a game against phoenix. no point of having him out there mid game when phoenix is behind the whole time playing catch up with jump shooters. he starts to establish a sense of a half court offense in the beginning of games, get a flow going and match up with opposing bigs to give a little inside presence.
not to mention you hate the guy, but you want to know why he sat as your key observation of the game?
Collins is clearly a guy who doesn't want to shake up the starting lineup more than necessary. Turner and Young had more minutes than anyone last night, and neither started.

I dont think Ive seen a player so consistently money on his 10-12 ft jump shot in quite some time than Brand has been this season.
Last player I can recall off the top of my head to be so consistent from that range might be Rip Hamilton back in the day.
so in nba history the 2 best players at mid range jumpers
1. elton brand
2. rip hamilton

No way they blow a 15 point lead with 2 minutes left, right?

I have classes on weeknights so I'm not paying 99 dollars for a cable service I'd use about once a month.
haters gon love this...

Sixers' Collins anoints Iguodala the go-to guy
Be prepared to see the ball in Andre Iguodala's hands more often.
After Monday's practice, 76ers coach Doug Collins answered, "Yes," when asked whether there was something legitimately different with Iguodala's current demeanor and attitude.
That is to say, Collins believes he has Iguodala, all of Iguodala, on board with whatever comes next for this team.
"And I'm going to start using him more as a point-forward because I think he's a triple-double guy," Collins explained. "He's a very, very unselfish player. He loves to pass."
Through the first half of the season, the burden of ballhandling has fallen primarily on the shoulders of point guard Jrue Holiday, with backup guard Lou Williams handling on designated possessions.
Whether devised as an alternative to Holiday, who has made some crucial turnovers in recent weeks, or just acting on a hunch that Iguodala's game is about to skyrocket, Collins said he's going to make an effort to start using Iguodala "a lot" as a point-forward.
"I want to get to the point where Lou does it, Dre does it, Evan does it, and Jrue, so we don't just have one guy who has to be in that situation," Collins said of the handling the ball and starting the offense. "So it relieves the pressure."
Collins said this slight shift wouldn't change anyone else's position or role.
so were in store for even more crappy 20 foot fallaway jumpers?
Hopefully they're just showcasing him for a potential trade
Iguodala is a very nice passer in transition, and when he occasionally gets matched up against a weak defender inside he pulls off a pretty pass...but he is not a point forward.
Collins can try and pump him up and feed his ego all he wants, but the fact remains he doesnt have near a good as handle as Jrue and gets caught in traffic way too many times. Matter of fact Iguodala's handle is avg at best, and if it was above avg. he might be able to take a player off an iso and get to the rim and get even more assists. His passing abilities are highlighted in the open court, occasional baseline, but not near enough in the half court to make him any kind of pt forward.

I gotta imagine this is exactly what they're doing. Taking the ball away from him and reducing his role would only hurt them in trade talks. So they pump him up a little in the press and do everything they can on the court to inflate his stats and hope that someone bites.
nothing andre iguodala does in the next two weeks is going to change a pro gm's opinion on him
this isnt fantasy where someone busts out and scores 30 in a game and everyone tries to pick him up
I'd like to see Collins dig into Iguodala's ass rather than taking this approach. Doug is too much of the 'nice guy' so he won't do it, but it needs to be done. This is his way of going about the situation, trying to work with him. Thing is you can't work with someone like Iguodala who thinks he's above the team.
Jrue was invited to the rookie-vs-soph game in LA. ET wasn't (but Wall, Favors, Johnson, Cousins and Monroe were)
haha avery is awesome
is Brook Lopez the softest player in the league?
born in hollwood colleged in stanford...he personifies west coast soft
that said he probably isnt even the softest player in this game...spencer hawes says hi
Lopez is completely terrified of the lane. Watch him near rebounds. At least Hawes tries, he already has double digit rebounds and Lopez probably has only 1 or 2.
im not here to defend lopez toughness...ones a feather ones tissue paper...take your pick which is which
jeru is gonna get a triple double tonight
haha...the entire team cleared out for jeru to get his triple double
i know its a long shot but with the knicks losing tonight if the sixers can sweep them this weekend they will only two games in back of them
i sort of wanted them to hang and get the 8 seed to simply face boston just the farg of it...but at this point they just might be able to face a soft ass squad like atlanta in rd 1 and beat them. then got rocked by miami or boston in rd 2, of course.
If the Sixers had only won a few of those close games... (1-7 in games decided by 3 pts or less) they'd be a 500 team. Don't look now but here come the Sixers!
holy shtein iguodala has six assists in the first five minutes of the game
this has been a great game
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!
Wow, what a farging game!

noon start in the garden tomorrow
im pretty much furious at myself for not going to this game...but how was i to know
i dont think they will and a split would be fine for this weekend but if they somehow win then i wont be containable

I'm more excited for the Sixers game than I am for the Superbowl
All over this game-esp since this is the least excited I've ever been about a superbowl as well.
I dont think they take a back to backer here, but my boys are picking up some serious steam heading into the break.
whoa nelly....zumoff in crystal clear hd on the package
playing better for right now means not being a train wreck but turner is starting to look like he belongs on the floor...another step forward and they will have a nice rotation guy
Still doesn't look overly comfortable off the ball but he distributes and rebounds well.
you know what he doesnt look comfortable doing?
GUARDING LANDRY JONES
i love that timeout by collins...team is in the middle of a 13-3 run and he calls a timeout to get their defensive rotations in order because their guards keep ending up down on the block having to man a much bigger guy because their switches have been terrible
dumb ass eddie jordan would never have done that
against a team that plays wide open and leaves looks all over the court lou williams has to get more minutes...i dont understand why he was on the bench so much that half
i dont understand why the internet i steal isnt fast enough to keep up with the illegal feed of the game
didn't exactly come out on fire.
this game had blowout written all over it
holdin strong here....need a solid last two minutes of this quarter
they aren't playing great defense, but it's hard to win when the other team is shooting the lights out. they have to try and create tougher shots for them
this is why this team is so fun to watch. never give up
That deep 3 by Lou Will was ridiculous, the steal on the next possession was equally awesome. That 3 is the turning point imo. Sixers are about to feed off some momentum.
knicks are taylor made for lou...thats why i dont get how he sat for so much in the first half
may want to bring kapono off the bench soon
how do you not farging club stoudemire on his way to the basket there
stoudemire is out of his mind. straight up beast.
Fields on his way to a career game. ha....never fails against the Sixers.
best player in the game is playing like it
its pretty simple...he had maybe his worst game of the year friday sixers won
having one of his better games of the year today and they lose
evan turner is a brain dead pos
how painful is it to be watching a second round pick just destroy your number two overall guy
Turner?
It wouldnt matter what Sixer decided to guard/attemted to guard Fieds. He was having a career game regardless.
no stoudemire is the one you can do nothing about....turner has left fields like six times in this game...his threes have basically looked like hes been shooting warm ups
why would you cover landry fields...no reason
sixers just started a four game losing streak
The perimeter D has been awful since Larry Brown left, I wouldn't solely blame it on Turner.
Stoudemire 17/21. Ain't beating the Knicks when he plays like that.

actually the perimeter d has been very good this year...sixers are top 5 in the league...turner just went brain dead on them today for whatever reason
and yes when an all nba type player ha a game like that there isnt much you can do
they actually have improved their perimeter d this year. thats what has been keeping them in games.
nothing you can do when a team decides to jack up 26 3's and makes over 40% of them, as well as Amare beasting like that.
this Spanish site (http://www.encestando.es/tema-del-dia/el-chapu-nocioni-negocia-la-vuelta-al-caja-laboral-para-la-proxima-temporada) is claiming Nocioni is quitting the NBA and going back to Europe
loser
is it Spanish or Argentinian you ignorant farg easy
what a farging idiot iguodala is
:boom farging iguodola missing a wide open dunk! Then he has an awesome behind the back lay-up.
besides that missed dunk tho hes been out of his mind...three times this game hes gotten a defensive rebound took it up court and made a great assist for a dunk or lay up
he could be headed to a triple double tonight if he continues on
yeah, he's actually playing really well. i just wish he would stop being such a bitch on the floor
and the most impressive thing he has tonight might be taking joe johnson out of the game so far
holy shtein are they unconcious tonight
lol damien williams just went from the elbow to the rim without dribbling a single time
What the farg has gotten into the Sixers tonight?
Jeezus.
holy shtein is iguodala frustrating the hell out of jj...just took what probably should have been a flagrant
hes got 6 pts and 5 TO's (and four fouls)
Vegas is masturbating right now. The public was 80% on the Hawks tonight.
nocioni off the red eye from spain and into the game
This game is crazy....you expect a run by the other team and the Hawks just haven't had one. I think my favorite play of the night is Jrue blocking that shot.
your favorite part isnt the frontline of songalia hawes and nocioni??
:-D its close but that blocked shot by Jrue just set the tone early.
J. Johnson forgetting his sneakers and Horford out takes about 36 points off the board from the jump.
The way the Sixers were shooting and playing d, they were winning this game regardless.
STATEMENT GAME!

how about the sixers scoring like 115 pts and jeru not having a single assist
Honestly I didn't even notice he didn't have an assist. Doesn't really matter the whole team played very well. The Hawks just didn't look like they gave a sthein from the jump.
theyve been that way for the last four years
uninterested soft boring team
sixers somehow go 3/6 or 4/5 with them they win the series easily
Jrue had no assists last night. farging weird.
to be fair he didnt run the point that much as iguodala was point forward for much of the evening but still...115 pts and no assists for your point guard...pretty weird
shtein darious songalia even dropped a dime
i think Iguodala playing point forward is a positive for his game, not just the team, because it keeps him from shooting so much. anything that keeps him from shooting is ok by me.
its hardly a large sample to draw from but so far hes actually been shooting a little more....which is natural because he has the ball in his hands more often...what it should do rather than cut down on his overall attempts is make him shoot more high % shots by allowing him to go to the basket more often...more shots from the paint and less from the wing is a good thing for him

Problem with that, and it's been said numerous times, is Iguodala very rarely takes guys off the dribble and goes to the rim. He will either look to dribble and pass or will always settle for the high arching long range shot. I don't know if there is a high % shot for him because he has a very hard time creating space for himself for a balanced pull-up. Matter of fact, his best high % shot is the long range shot.
I like what Mo said, but you also want Jrue to continue to develop with the ball consistently in his hands as well.
hes had more dunks off half court sets in the last five games than hes had in probably the last two years and in general has been getting in the lane with no problem...dunking and shots in the paint in general are always going to be a more high % shot than someone giving him the ball 20 feet from the basket with six seconds left on the shot clock
running sets should also limit his 3 pt attempts which is a shot he should never ever be shooting
the big question is going to be when teams start gameplanning for him at the point...thats when his handle may be exposed more...for now he hasnt been getting tested much...havent seen him drawing extra help but thats going to change if he keeps playing like this...hes had like 50 assists in the last five games
Someone help me here, but I can't recall 1 recent dunk from him out of the half court set. All of his dunks have come from transition during the fast break or with the occasional alley-pop feed.
When was the last time and who was it against he took someone and finished with a dunk?
i honestly feel like he's shooting less, but maybe the numbers say differently

he had at least one each in the knicks games... at least two in the nets game...cant recall the game before that and he just missed one last night...threw it down but it popped out after he got fouled...and those are just the dunks...the point is hes getting in the lane i wont say at will but way better than i ever thought he would...and again...him in the lane >>>>>>> him on the perimeter

hes shooting less bad shots that you get angry at which is what sticks in your memory...for example hes had only like four 3 pt attempts in the last three or four games...instead of what seems like his usual 2-3 per
go Sixers...farg Rome
lol wut
shut up magic fan, i know you're all Reddick'd up tonight
Dwight Howard is going to have 48 points and 22 rebounds tonight.
not the prettiest offensive games. there shouldn't be this many airballs in a NBA game
if i cared about either team i'd be butthurt by sunny's meannesses.
surprised this is a 2 pt game because that was some ugly basketball but Ill take it. need some more ball movement
cant understand why Thadeus always feels he has to automatically shoot the ball when he touches it. as soon as he gets in the game he lets it fly.
oooo night off and live internet feed is working
and holy hell eric snow. he is terrible.
awful decision by brand there
and iggy watches two people without fouling them losing 5 seconds off the clock. nice. awful last 20 seconds there.
in the 4th qtr for igy:
1 athletic follow
4 bad shots
1 junior high turnover
dwight howard is such a game changer its ridiculous and makes me yearn for some sort of interior defensive presence on the sixers even more...if thats even possible
it was just one play but it summed up the whole game...jj farging reddick going scot free straight down the midle of the lane from 20 feet out and laying it in....that just doesnt happen if you even have the godfather much less dwight howard back there...and of course his defense speaks for its self...sixers had to fight for every single point last night that didnt come off a turnover...its sick how much he allows their defense to expand to the point where you always have someone up on you...luckily the magic have no good perimeter defenders cause if they had guys that could guard then no one might ever score on them
ignore a pitiful effort from iguodala and clamor for the good old days of 25 wins and sam dalembert
gotcha
Spurs get their 9th loss tonight.
Sixers +5 maybe. Sixers pick 'em no.
the gameplan is obviously to try to run the spurs early and wear them down for later in the game. so far so good.
just a night and day difference with collins as compared to Jordan last year when you weren't sure they had any idea what they wanted to do
jrue hits his first three shots and doesn't see the ball for 5 minutes. but we get 4 iguodala fade aways
every time Jrue penetrates the whole Spurs team basically swarms the paint, leaving him to pass outside for another player to miss an open jumper.
someone needs to step up other than Jrue here...because Iguodala being 2-14 is not cute at all.
Ginobli is horrible at splitting defenders
Was this game's 3rd quarter the lowest-scoring quarter in any NBA game this season?
Ugly game, beautiful win.
Glad I bet on them to win the Eastern conf at 100:1! Lock!
so glad i shut the bndwagon down a couple years ago
can iguodalas cock be any further in your mouth
this teams couldnt.....and during the money shot ill be laughing at you pretending to be a sixer fan in mexico
ill admit i was OUT for a good 2 years but ive been IN since december
sorry we dont have 60 day seats on the wagon
There is no bandwagon. IF this team makes the playoffs they are one and done. Bank it, they do not have the talent to match any team above them. THEY SUCK!!
dumb comment no matter what but it becomes epic when you consider the timing of it
yet im sure hes excited about temple going one and done in the tourney
which they will
the sixers can legit win the 3/6 if they draw atl
omg atlanta would be a joke....they can beat anyone in the east except miami...but even if hes right...and he may very well be...to loudly spew that shtein on the same night they beat the spurs is weak shtein and screams of haterism
ok, so they've won a few games against quality teams, if the Eagles or Phillies were still under .500 you'd be riding their ass like a harley on a bad strip of road, so excuse me if I don't think the sixers can win anything this year. Maybe we should start calling you two asshats "homers" like you call any Eagle fan who thinks the birds can win 7 games each year.

What? did you go see the justin Bieberererer movie tonight "OMG" :-D It's called I haven't been drinkin the Kool Aid. Its basic, this team is not built to win anything in the post season.

I find it hilarious that you hype this under .500 team and yet bitch and dog EVERY other Philly team when they are winning or make the playoffs every freaking year. So kindly take your homeristic love for the sixers and kiss it.

Temple will get rolled this year, they have no heart! but then again who am i to question the knowledge of the most amazing sports writer for The South Brownsville High School Bombers!! My bad!!
you just triple lindy'ed the board....slow ya roll chief
Thorton Melon would even know this team isnt going nowhere!
i love the exclamation points, too
good touch
maybe you could use some in your article when the Bombers win!! a!! game!!
there are 7 high schools i cover, 9 if you count football, and none of them are called the south brownsville bombers
i do however like professional basketball...so...to do away with this awful tangent...sixers = fun again
Well whooptie freakin doo! look we got us a regular William Shakespeare here kids!
for real, I' am happy they are winning and two games out of being .500. I just don't think they have anywhere near the talent to win a playoff series.
yeah you already said that
Well then yay, like C.E.B. you got my point!
O.k. I'll leave you two to your late night love fest. Good night from MA!
use a few more exclamation points you farging retard

I think he'll be a 13, 6, 4 player in 2 years. Not sure his ceiling is much higher than that though.
im just glad he looks like he belongs in the league these days....his jumper is still terrible tho
its a cheesy cliche but its really true with him...he is simply a basketball player
He's starting to do a lot of little things well. He's going to have to improve his jumper drastically to ever be a significant scorer though. He has some height to create mismatches. Needs to shoot better to compensate for his lack of quickness though.
i love this win even more than last nights...on a weird back to back after a big emotional in they did exactly what they are supposed to do to a bad team...this is not something you could ever say about this team in its recent past...i actually thought this was a possible loss...the fact that it was a sixer rout says all you need to know about how this isnt the same old sixers anymore.....doug collins is a gawd
coincidence that my fantasy basketball team and the sixers turnarouned themselves at the same time?
Is Collins quietly taking Jrue off of PG duties? His assist numbers are way down.
nah...collins just has a mixture of guys that can run the point. its def a plus that can move jrue to sg--which I like.
cant get the kind of assists he was previously getting if the ball is not always in your hands. they had some solid ball rotation last night, with some good inside out play. they keep pulling that shtein, they wont need jrue to have high assist totals
http://espn.go.com/nba/hollinger/playoffodds
Hollinger's statistical analysis currently has the Sixers as the 8th best team in the NBA, and gives them a 6% chance of coming out of the East.
I feel pretty good about my 100:1 bet on them to win the East.
you feel good about losing money or you feel good about then being better than you thought
because im their biggest supporter and even i know they have less than zero chance to go to the finals
If they have better than a 1% chance, my bet is gold.
well they have zero chance...but like me be happy they are better than you could have ever imagined....it wont win you money but it will win your heart
That's unpossible. So sayeth mr hollinger.
Sixers can win until they play someone who they need to seriously body up against in the post, or someone who can get into the lane with ease.
thats their biggest soft spot in the regular season and it will also get them in trouble in the postseason....but their ultimate downfall in the playoffs will be their scoring....specifically their shooting....when the game tightens up and people are all up in your chest for 48 minutes they dont have the guys that can score in that enviroment....poor man bubba chuck sweet lou is the only guy on the roster i can see doing it
We also have no one who will knock down a big shot... maybe Lou Will, but that's it. However, with the game on the line and the Sixers needing a bucket, I don't really see anyone on this roster that I'm too comfortable with.
Iguodala and Lou are certainly willing to take the big shot, but rarely do they ever make one.
Get Brand the ball in crunch time. He has knocked down that 15 footer with consistency all season.
Maybe try getting the ball to Holiday. Lou guns too much in crunch time. He takes awful shots at the end of games early in the shot clock.

LOL....I remember SC or OTL doing a spot on him a year or 2 ago because he's some sort of competitive pinball player now.
this is absolutely painful to watch
8 turnover 10 point first quarter
holy shtein lou got up there
Nothing really to add so far other than interior D being awful in the first half and darius songalias 2 min cameo was one of the worst things Ive ever seen.
And what is iggy doing? Seems like any time he doesn't turn the ball over its an accident right now. Just a strangely lazy game by him so far.
cant have a ten point quarter and expect to win..especially on the road...turnovers destroyed them...they have been great all year and then have 18 against a team that doesnt even pressure defensively?...terrible
its a tough one but gotta win tonight going into the break
nice bounce back win...love goin into the break like this
sweet lou was ridiculous in the 4th quarter
and it will go completely un-noticed because of his 3-14 from the field and by people pointing out his all around game just missing a triple double but iguodalas defense tonight was spectacular
oh an how about kyle lowrys long distance love letter to back home...he was awesome

hah shtein yeah I didn't realize it until just listening to that clip again that he was actually asleep. I thought live that Zumoff was just making fun of him for not talking. He definitely dose off. Stay awoke is gold too.
unless he comes up with some sort of good health reason as to he fell asleep in the middle of announcing a bball game you gotta think e snow will not be back after the all star break
he wont be back after this year but they arent making a change now
sixers will just try to let this thing die out

Simmons listed ET (and Jrue) as honorable mentions in his annual trade value column (http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=simmons/110217). Jrue's description is less interesting than Turner's:
QuoteEvan Turner: Instead of mentioning Mount Bustmore (Kwame Brown, Darko Milicic, Hasheem Thabeet and Adam Morrison) every time we wonder if a high lottery pick might be a draft bust, I thought it would be easier to rename those four guys Kwarko Beetison, who absolutely sounds like someone Chris Wallace would have drafted. Anyway, Turner's Kwarko potential has dwindled to zero: He's contributing to an overachieving playoff team, he's had a few "I AM NOT UNAFRAID OF THIS MOMENT!" games, and he's the only draft pick since 2007 capable of submitting one of those wacky, Rondo-esque 12-17-15 box-score lines someday. Go on eBay, steal some of his rookie cards and thank me later.
Simmons may be a Boston douche who is awful on TV, but he watches a lot of NBA. I hope he's right.
he says nothing that we all didnt already know
hes gonna be a good not great all around player for a long time
I don't know he'll be any good.
hell be fine...i love what hes been doing lately
simmons is cute and he does know hoops but thats only if he watches it and i find it hard to believe he has watched a (non celtic) sixer game this year
just as i couldnt make a really good judgement on how ed davis has been doing in toronto
unless what simmons is doing in that column is just repeating his thoughts on turner coming out of college..that would be fair as im sure he saw a good amount of him pre nba...but the way he comes off is that hes trying to make some sort of mid season revelation about turner that people would shock people and say "bill you so crazee"
Simmons has a radio show on Sirius that I listen to that is very good with some deep analysis on players. He nailed Turner perfectly the way he's been playing, so I have to believe this guy goes back and watches these games.
If not the whole game, I'm sure he'll take the core of the minutes that player played and make his judgements. I think Turner has been of the best transition players on the team right under Iguodala. He's very smart distributing the ball and rebounds extremely well.
you dont have to watch turner play to see he has improved...you can read a box score or read an article in a philly paper or get a breakdown from your buddy in the philly media...the point is hes saying nothing new in that piece...admittedly tho we watch them every night and his articles are for people who dont
Simmons is a farging douche. He has some snotty intern do his research for him then he strings a few paragraphs together.

bingo...hes not a douche beacause he doesnt watch every team...he couldnt possibly be expected to do that...hes a douche because he acts like he does
I find Simmons to be far more entertaining then your generic ESPN writer, but you have to know what you're getting into with him. He's always going to have some arrogant Boston slant on things, but he still pieces together some funny lines in his columns.
Agree. I like him.
Dude does say some funny shtein-not to mention there arent too many people out there in the media that has a love for the game like he does. It has nothing to do with box scores or interns or whatever... he knows the players and the game very well.
Matter of fact he put David Stern in his place the other day regarding the NBA's purchase of the New Orlean Hornets on the radio, and you can tell by the way Stern was reacting that he has some respect for Simmons.
What channel is he on, Reese?
I'm a Simmons fan. Love reading his hoops analysis and he talks gambling a lot too.
My one beef with him is sometimes he goes too far off into pop culture land for my taste. I don't give two fargs about Jersey Shore or any of the reality crap he spins into his columns.
ET will be good - not great. A useful and helpful piece but never the star.
Story on Snow's snoozin...
http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/blog/ball_dont_lie/post/Video-Sixers-analyst-falls-asleep-during-game?urn=nba-323513
I enjoyed how Snow tried in vain to relate his sleeping to an NBA player looking for that elusive "burst of energy" late in a game. That didn't sound forced at all.
Looks like CSN took down the video. Considering all the shtein they don't take down, I guess they made a move because it portayed a negative aspect of their broadcast.
As for Simmons, another plus in his corner is his frequent discussion of sports gambling, especially NFL betting. He's one of the few columnists who admits the centrality of betting to sports, and makes it a centerpiece of his columns as well. I'm glad ESPN doesn't make him censor that shtein to maintain their cozy relationship with the leagues, as I enjoy the line-guessing bits he does with his Cousin Sal during the NFL season.

I jinxed the Bullet team, and you should be thankful.
Close game at the half, blowout in the end.
The AP recap said Iggy has been linked to numerous trade scenarios in recent weeks? Have I missed them? I'm not expecting the Sixers to do anything before the deadline tomorrow.
there was a report that the Warriors called them last week, but that's it
bullets lost half their lineup half way thru the game but when that happens you are supposed to take advantage and bury a team and the sixers did just that
Iggy isnt going anywhere. Hes not the answer to pushing a team over the top. Hes a nice toss in though, but with his contract the toss in factor becomes an issue.
I think this team exceeded everyones expectations since their horrific start. This team can make a playoff series or 2 interesting and that's certainly satisfactory for Collins and Snyder compared to last year.
Although Popovich is in the lead for coach of the year, Collins is easily right behind him as of now.
words cant really describe how much i love doug collins...
Quote
So Collins really didn't need to tell the Sixers what needed to change after the first 12 minutes.
"They knew, but I said it anyway," Collins said after the Sixers posted a 117-94 win over Washington. "I've got to be a fleshpop sometimes."

QuoteSixers Pull Iguodala Off Trade Block
Feb 24, 2011 10:27 AM EST
The Sixers had been making Andre Iguodala available in trades this season, but have pulled him off the market during their recent surge, according to sources.
Iguodala is signed through the 13-14 season, with the final year being an early termination option.
Read more: http://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/211374/Sixers_Pull_Iguodala_Off_Trade_Block#ixzz1Eu7GGNo7
Looks like Kapono is getting bought out. What a scrub.
Let me read into this a lot more than necessary.
So they publicly announce that they are "pulling" Iggy off the trade block just a few hours before the trade deadline. What's the point of making that comment unless they are trying some sort of desperation move to draw interest from other teams. With all the big names and trades that have gone down in the last 48 hours, I'm guessing that most of the basketball world forgot AI even existed and the Sixers are casually reminding the league that he's still available. So basically, the Sixers are trying to make other teams want him by saying that they can't have him. BRILLIANT!!
I'm captain of the trade Iggy train but I think it's in their best interest to keep him. I used to say move him for cap space, but with the way this seasons going they might as well keep him around and make the playoffs. At least he dazzles with some dunks and is a great defender. Move him in the offseason and go from there.
or they just honestly don't feel like talking to anyone about it.
^^^^
this
thorn and collins both really like him
of course they will listen to offers for any player on the roster but they were never actively trying to move him
He actually fits on this team quite well. Is he overpaid? Yes, but that only makes him less valuable in a trade anyway. He can shut down a SG or SF like Pierce or Carmelo, which is exactly what the Sixers will need if they have any hope of winning a first round playoff series.
i dont even know that hes that overpaid
he also only has three years left on his deal (one being a player option)...if there ever comes a time when they really wanna move him they will be able to do it with no problem over the next year or two....theres absolutely no reason to trade him right now

Could this be any more wrong. He's exactly the type of player to push a team over the top. He's a lockdown defender and the ultimate third option. With That said, I want the sixers to keep him.
He gets even more close to triple doubles because he plays for the Sixers. Make him a legit 3rd guy on a serious team you get about 12/6/5 out of him....and Im being very generous since he avgs 14/5/5 now. Thats not exactly holy shtein we have to get andre iguodala right now numbers.
Oh, and lockdown? Really? Best lockdown perimeter defender on the Sixers is Jrue nowadays.
you mean a point guard is a better perimeter defender than a forward?
i bet iguodala is a better interior defender than jeru.....bet!

never said iguodala was a bad defender, I just dont think hes lockdown as he was before. Hes fine on the inside, always has a hand in someones face when they pull up, but Ive seen many a players get past him this year.

and even a list like that with the likes of friggin gerald wallace, ginobli, jump shooters martin, granger, and joe johnson and an occasional off night by a legit superstar is going to make me think differently.

if the point guard can play any defense at all he is almost always going to be better because a bigger guy cant stay with quicker people on the outside....the fact that iguodala is even getting compared to jeru on the perimiter shows how good of a defender he is...add in the fact that he can d up out there as well as inside and you have one of the best all around defenders in the nba

he should meaning that's your opinion or he should meaning there's a high probability he does?
he has a realistic chance for first team but not probable....it would criminal if he didnt make the second team
well... he had by all accounts a career year last year, esp in rebounds and blocks and got a grand total of 2 votes by a panel of 30 coaches. His numbers are down across the board this year besides his TO's and assists--which dont mean squat for all defense so....put him jail now.
well they generally give the honors to guys on winning teams so he had little chance to make it last year...and stats matter of course but not on defense as much as offense...not so much with big men but permimeter defenders sometimes get on the teams just by their man to man success....because you can get steals and not be great defensively (allen iverson) or be a great defender and get no numbers (bruce bowen)

Reese pointing to points, rebounds, and assists as reasoning for making an all defensive team is just incredible... I'm pretty sure Shane Battier never put up any big numbers in any of those categories and managed to make a few.

well no kidding that great scorers score on people, but Iguodala is supposed to be the top tier lockdown guy. That guy should be able to stop a top scorer once in awhile
look at sd's chart...he been lights out this year...and while he is off the charts this season due to having a real coach and players around him that are being taught defense he has shut down scorers in the past as well...and of course hes also been lit up by the greats...you cant stop them all the time...i dont know anyone who does...even bruce bowen who is regarded as one of the best man on defenders of the last 15 years didnt shut down kobe consistently

Wow, I checked the box score thinking that they must certainly be losing. So much for that.
they are playing a team whose full lineup sucks and who tonight is only runnin out six guys....they better be winning
these are the types pf joke games to watch thad and iggy run the floor together
welcome to the .500 club Sixers---bout god damn time!
thad iguodala and brand a combined 30-46 from the field
I wish the Sixers would have dunked more this game
Thanks for the betting advice igy, I threw way more on this than I typically bet on nba games.
im with you...cept i put my normal dollar on it...should have taken my own advice and loaded up
i cant believe the line didnt move that much after the revolt became public
i know most everyone makes fun of them but give this farging team credit
3-13 start to .500 tonight is amazing
and if thats not enough for you...they are now tied with the NY knicks in the win column
LETS DO THIS!!!!!
The 3-13 start is excusable since they had a new coach and a new system. The Sixers could easily have 5 more wins and if they had been playing like this the entire season I don't think 50 wins would be out of reach.
They are playing better but xoxck pdyy balls
Baron Davis is out for tonight's game. (http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/deep-sixer/Davis_Wont_Play_Against_Sixers.html)
Pretty sure that sore knee that was bothering Davis in LA is going to be a season ending injury.
thats actually bad news for the sixers...ramon sessions is better and has been playing lights out lately
3-17 start from the floor
Saving their A game for the Mavericks.
second unit has really picked them up
cleveland also has completely abandoned their inside game...they should hit hickson or jamison on the block eveny time down until the sixers show they have someone who can handle either of them but for some reason they stopped doing it
this is not happening is it
good enough.
Over .500 what?
This is the most fun I've had watching box scores in I don't know how long.
I hear ya. I can't believe I listen to these games on my blackberry while driving, working, working out, drinking, whatever. I'm loving it.
Did I hear correctly that Iguodala had 6 points? shtein.
Counting down the time till the game tonight. Wish I could go.
this is just a great game
jason terry just looked like he was 22 again splitting that d and scoring
they have some swagger now, but this is a huge confidence booster if they can get this game.
Cant shoot at all.
Meeks comes thru
of all the times to farging skirt out of taking a 3 pt shot, jrue had it and second guessed himself
unreal--iguodala missed both free throws. he sucks so bad in crunch time.
I would like to see iggys ft % late in games.

he is very very close to dipping below 70% on the year--so I cant imagine his 4th q percentage is any good
I think they lost the game when iggy stole the ball twice and ET botched both fast breaks.
Still though gotta come through in the clutch better than that.
there are many things to point to for this loss, so I cant solely blame iggy, turner or whoever. I wasnt particularly thrilled when Jrue decided to go baseline 1 on 3 to the rim with Dirk standing right there to block him---horrendous deflator right there.
too many easy missed shots around the rim, terry was a killer again, and nobody to step up to ice it.....again.
Only 13,000 tonight? Where's the love?
very easy to break this game down
mavs went down the stretch with hall of famers and clutch veterans
sixers went into crunch time with iguodala and a 20 year old
and lou williams picked a bad night to lay an egg and have his worst game of the year
terry had a great game but it wasnt like he went for 40 or 50...if you cant overcome a 30 pts game from an opponent then you might as fold up shop...lous bad game was a way bigger factor than terrys good game
but in the end they lost in crunch time because a veterean team with hall of famers made shots and they didnt
and man did you hear collins just kill turner in the post game presser
Terry was unstoppable. They find a way to slow him down and they're playing with a lead at the end...not from behind.

I wouldn't kill Iguodala so much if he made free throws down the stretch or he had a good shot selection...even if he missed. Instead he rushes shots, shoots unbalanced off of one foot (that drives me insane) and takes untimely bad 3's. Last nights game is exactly why this city can't stand him.
but in his defense, the 2 steals he had late is why people in this city also like him.
problem is hes the teams scapegoat--which is all the sixers fault.

There's maybe 5 Iguodala fans in the entire city. He's not a scapegoat, he jacks up bad shots at the worst points of games. He's annoying to watch because he thinks he's the man and some clutch shooter but he's the exact opposite. I'd still like to see Thad get a full time shot at the 3.
sure hes the scapegoat. the team paid him like an all-star, he is expected to be very consistent, so he will get the brunt of the blame when they lose--especially if he takes shots late in the game and they dont go in.
but he also doesnt get nearly enough credit when he throws up ridiculous stats in a win, as people are very quick to forget the things he does on the court . either way I feel your pain because he is very frustrating watch in crunch time-esp at the free throw line. more the reasons (with the contract restriction) why teams are/were in no rush to acquire him.
Quote from: SD on March 01, 2011, 09:21:01 PM
god i hate iguodala
From the radio broadcast it sure sounded like the crowd was booing him after he missed those two late free throws.
they were, loudly
thats not why they lost, though
its because dallas has 2 hall of famers and lou williams was off tonight.
idiots.
yeah iguodalas two misses at the end when they werent gonna win anyway was worse than lous 1-8 from the field and general all around ineptitude at both ends of the floor
also worse than jerus two misses at the end of the game
much much worse than thad bricking up free throw after free throw thruout the fourth quarter when it actually counted
and def waaaaay worse than evan turner going absolutely brain dead after iguodalas back to back steals
the bottom line is the sixers lost to a better team and to blame anyone on their side is a waste of time
jason kidd hitting clutch threes and dallas' all around execution in the half court during the second half of the fourth quarter won the game
Great article on Thad's rise under Collins. As is well known I hate Iguodala, one of the primary reasons is because I think Thad can step in and use his minutes at the 3. Thad's probably my favorite Sixer since he's been drafted. I think he's too talented to spend his career as a backup:
http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/sixers/20110304_Bob_Cooney__Young__Sixers_rising_at_the_same_time.html
in his opening press conference and thruout the summer collins went out of his way to emphasize three things
defend home court - they are nine games over .500
three point defense - an amazing 4th in the nba
get thad young back - done
the guy is an absolute genius
Anyone have opinions on Speights getting more minutes? I know his lack of D is always cited, but he apparently has one of the best defensive efficiency ratings for his position in the NBA right now. Probably more of a coincidence than anything, but I wouldn't mind him getting some increased run.
i dont know what defensive efficiency rating is but it cant mean much because hes disgraceful on d...just one example was him completely overextending spazzing out and letting terry go right by him the other night on that step out...it was so laughably bad
hes also soft
and if this makes sense he trys but he doesnt hustle
i like him coming off the bench if they are struggling on offense...hes at his best doing that and knocking down a few jumpers to get the team going...his stroke is sweet for a big guy
to me hes a classic match up guy...it depends on your opponent who he has to guard and how the game is being played as far as how many minutes he gets
not to mention you cant rely on any rating for a guy that plays 10 minutes.
Well, that's what I'm saying in that I'm sure it's a relatively small sample size. If I understand it correct, it pretty much takes into account the other teams points per minute or points per possession while you're on the court.
in addition to the sample size you also have to take into account that collins puts him in the game when the situation favors him or wont hurt the team...hes not putting him on kevin garnett or dwight howard...hes most likely facing a very favorable matchup when hes in the game
I dont think the coaches are sitting there figuring out his efficiency rating. There are too many other factors to consider when placing him on the court--which takes efficiency rating out of play. Hes not out there for extended periods of time against solid opponents for a reason.
Like igy said, he'll hit the occasional shot which is nice, ok inside against inferior teams that lack size, blocks some shots and grabs some boards here and there, but a guy that size shouldn't be forcing charging calls as his main objective on d. Thats weak on all levels.
true enough, i just wish he could get shtein down more on the defensive end because he really is like insta offense most games.

But the most surprising part of the evening occurred in the Sixers' locker room following the team's 125-117 overtime win. That's where forward Elton Brand, the team's leading scorer and perhaps most prideful player, embraced coach Doug Collins. You'd have thought that if there was any type of interaction between the two following the game, it wouldn't be of the hugging kind, as Brand played just 6 minutes in the fourth quarter and not a second in the overtime, finishing with a mere 12 points and five rebounds.
"The first guy to meet me in the locker room tonight after the game was Elton Brand," said Collins, his drenched shirt showing the effort all had to put in to record the team's eighth win in 10 games. "Elton Brand hardly played at all in the fourth quarter, didn't play in overtime and I took him out [early] in the third. It's a very, very tough game for him to play in. He came up and gave me a hug and said, 'Coach, I'm all about winning. Great job.' And that's what we're trying to build. That's why in a game like this you've got a chance to win because everybody on that bench is cheering for each other. And it makes it pretty special to coach those kinds of people."
Good stuff.
But lets not use the word "adore" again when talking sports. Or in any other situation.
Todd would adore it if you'd trot down to the valley and give him a birthday hug.
thats actually very true but lets not get away from havas' repulsive homerism of the sixers
wow really couldnt have had a better quarter than that
j meeks with the DAGGER!!
oh and danny granger is the latest scorer that iguodala has merked....hes got 8 pts in 37 minutes
how soon until they pass the heatles
Thad

how soon until they pass the heatles
First round?
they wont pass the heat but they could catch the hawks...they are only 3.5 back
knicks hawks and sixers could battle for 5,6,7
two weeks from friday they are at miami
they also have one game each left with the hawks and knicks both at home
Feeling good about my 100:1 bet on the Sixers winning the East.
problem for the sixers is they have a brutal 7 game stretch coming up
3 games in 4 tonight concludes tonight vs. durant
then fri vs. boston, then sat @ mil and then they hit the west coast
3-4 sounds real nice
knicks and hawks have equally tough schedules coming up...plus the hawks appear to be cooked...think they are 3-9 in their last 12
JUST WIN BABY!!
would you rather be @ orl or @ mia in round 1
for whatever reason the magic just seem to have the sixers number...id almost rather go through miami.
i dont think they beat either....but easily at miami....they probably get swept by the magic
i wont say miami is a perfect matchup because anyone with wade and lebron cant be that...but in terms of strengths the sixers match up with them as good as you can since the heat have no front line that can hurt the sixers...the sixers offense can really struggle when they cant get to the rim...and theres no one on miami that can prevent that
they'd win 1 game in a series with Orlando, 2 in a series with Miami. I'd prefer Miami and would probably go to a game or 2 in that series.
I'll take a 7 game series vs any team without a domininant big man every time and I'd especially take Miami over Orlando. Sixers still most likely lose against Miami in a 7 game series, but it really wouldn't be that far fetched for them to steal the series. The Heat struggle against teams above .500, they have no bench depth, they struggle in the 4th qtr and their half empty arena doesn't provide much of a home court advantage. They're still far superior to the Sixers talent wise but I think the Sixers play better as a team and would love the opportunity of knocking out the most hyped up team ever. Could you imagine how fired up Collins would have these guys if they face Miami at any point in the postseason?
The Sixers would sweep the Magic.

This. It's about the matchup and the Sixers have a (slightly) better matchup with the Heat, mostly due to their lack of a big man.

OUT
There isn't a worse athlete in this city than Iguodala. I'm struggling to think of a worse one in the past 5 seasons.
And Collins needs to take the ball out of his hands late in games, it's not only his shot selection that sucks it's everything else. I'm fine with him playing point forward until it's crunch time. Let Jrue or someone else handle it in crunch time because Iguodala is a freakin clutz when the game is on the line.
you dont have to plan your life around this team to know they cant win anything with iguodala being your go to man in crunch time
hes a nice little player but has no business taking big shots. ever. yet he does it and has done it for 5 years now. and you wonder why youre jerking yourself off to the possiblity of a 6 seed
the iguodala obsession by you all is just laughable...i dont even like the guy and you make me seem like the leader of his fan club...if you just dont like his personality thats fine but the focus on him during games is unreal
sd's all time favorite player thad young just had more fouls than points in the game and got murdered off the bench by nick farging collison and iguodala is the worst player in the city?
all i ask is know the game even if you hate the player
but really the sooner i disassociate myself from this team and stop caring the better off ill be and that begins right now
Can anyone explain where the farg Lou was at the end of the 4th and OT? Why was he not in? dumb dumb dumb
Thad had an off game...it happens. He didn't take an offensive charge with the game on the line, give the ball up to Durant in OT or a million other things that I can't remember because I'm so pissed off over the outcome of this game. Bottom line is Thad doesn't make boneheaded plays down the stretch like Iguodala does night after night. Ever wonder why everyone hates Iguodala except you? It would be one thing if he just missed shots down the stretch, but he does stupid shtein like fouling a player from beyond the 3 when the team is up by 3 and taking stupid offensive fouls because he thinks he's the man even though he falls short each and every time.

I would love nothing more than for Dougie to rip into Iguodala right now in his post game presser.
farg. Sears delivery just showed up as the game went into OT. Two dudes delivering the washer and dryer were horrified listening to me swear and and repeatedly saying "farging Iguodala, farging Iguodala!"

i do hate iguodala....im just not dumb enough to think hes the worst player in the city when hes the best player on his team
thad doesnt make dumb plays down the stretch because hes not good enough to get the ball...and when he does he misses layups like last night...and btw thad is the one who fouled durant behind the three point line last night for the four point play...im now convinced no one watches the games anymore...they just sit and wait for iguodala to make a mistake so they can yell and scream...of course when he has back to back triple doubles its all crickets...then one night later he cant come thru in the end and hes the worst player of all time...its just amazing to me
once you understand that hes not kobe bryant or michael jordan and is not going to finish games like them the better off youll be...thats not what he does...hes not a good enough player....if you want to direct anger at anyone do it at doug collins for putting the ball in his hands at the end or yell at iguodalal for his awful turnovers last night....he had at least 5...but at the end of games what do you want him to do?..hand the ball back to doug and say he doesnt want it?
im summation
thad young 2-12 four pts missed layups in crunch time and stupid fouls = had an off nite but is still awesome
iguodala 14pts 6 boards 8 dimes didnt come thru in crunch time = worst player in the city
again i just dont get this and never will
The Iguodala foul beyond the 3 I'm referring to was against the Magic to keep them in the game ultimately giving them the lead.
You're right, he's not a Kobe or Michael, but he thinks he's on that level, which makes his atrocity down the stretch that much worse. And yeah I do blame Dougie for keeping him at the point forward late in games. I also blame the front office for not getting rid of him. The concept you don't seem to grasp is it has nothing to do with his stats and everything to do with his bad decisions and gaffs late in games.
I could easily break out stats like Thad plays 10 minutes less a game but only averages 3 less points or that Thad is shooting .551 from the floor and Iguodala is shooting .448 , Thad also averages more rebounds per game and turns the ball over less. So pretty much aside from assists (Iguodala plays the point forward so of course he's going to have a ton of assists) and defensive presence how is Iguodala in any way superior to Thad?
I really hope he's gone in the offseason and Thad gets the full time gig at the 3. I think you'll be surprised with what you see even though you'll never admit it.
i acknowledge that Iguodala has good parts of his game and bad, most of my ripping him is because igy is defending him.

thats all i need...you hate him because of his on the court demeanor and his attitude...i cant argue with that he looks like a fleshpop on the floor...the rest of the nonsense is just that tho
oh well, i hate his demeanor and attitude too so there's that
Just what? I admit he's a great defensive player. If you're going to throw stats out there as to why he's a better player than Thad then look at the stats I posted and admit he's not as good. The numbers don't lie. What else is there? Iguodala is horrible down the stretch, that isn't opinion it's fact. I'm not even factoring in his late game misses from the charity stripe. Who knows how well Thad would do in the clutch because he never gets the chance like Iguodala does and he's not and will never be a point forward. I mean if Iguodala is going to man that position late in games he needs to learn to look for the open guy rather than running sideways and taking awkward jumpers.

what else is there...for real?
watch thads game...dont look at meaningless per minute a game stats
theres a reason iguodala plays ten minutes more a game than thad
hopefully iguodala goes this summer and thad starts getting 35-40 minutes as a starting 3 in this league so we can put this nonsense to bed....you cannot start in this league at the 3 and not be able to dribble...and lets see him defend starting players on other teams as well for long minutes
thad is a really nice energy bench player who puts up good numbers but hes very limited and its a whole different animal starting in this league...all im saying is be careful what you wish for
Thad can dribble fine. Can he bring it up the floor and play the point forward position like Iguodala can? No. I'd rather Jrue play the point or even Turner with Thad doing things that a 3 is supposed to do - you even admitted it yourself that Iguodala shouldn't be bringing the ball up the court and that it was Collins fault so I don't see how that is an issue.
And I'll take the minor defensive deficiency considering Thad has a better shot selection, has a higher field goal %, and is a better rebounder. Tell me something, what are better attributes of a 3, a guy who can bring it up the floor and dish the ball around, or a guy who has a high field goal % and can rebound?

a guy that can dribble shoot and pass
thad has no game outside of six feet...he has some nice finishing skills near the rim cause hes long but thats not what a three does in the nba...a three handles shoots and has to defend other threes...none of which thad can do...he has a fours game but a threes body
his fg % numbers are worthless when talking about him playing the three because all his shots are massive high % ones around the rim
thads minutes are limited in this league because hes a classic tweener...he cant be a full time 3 and he cant be a full time 4 so hes stuck where he is which is a really good bench guy who can exploit some mismatches here and there but isnt suited to run 40 minutes in the league
i think what you may be doing is making a direct correlation bwtn iguodala not being a good enough player and thad being better than he is....just because you think iguodala stinks doesnt mean thad can play the three full time and be successful
the two are mutually exclusive....you can think iguodala sucks and you want him gone and at the sdame time not think its a good idea to replace him with thad
I disagree with almost everything you said and now I think you hate Thad like I hate Iggy.
i actually love thad and dislike (not hate) iguodala
but i have to call them like i see them and criticize people i like as well as credit people i dont like....otherwise whats the point
The only problem I have with Iguodala is him at the end of games, which has been absolutely beaten to death. He's the best player on the team. I love Thad and the role he's in now is perfect for him. If he started at the 3 and got 40 minutes a game, I doubt he'd be just as good over the full game. Iguodala sees so much more of the floor and is a hell of a lot better passer. There's a lot more options with Iggy. He can bring up the ball every now and then because he can pass so well but it shouldn't be all the time. Especially at the end of games, because since he has the ball he's gonna jack up the (most likely terrible) shot. The team needs a closer badly. Won't be either one of them.
This was probably the most frustrating game I've watchedi n a long time. However, the Iguodala hate is ridiculous. Yes, he does suck at the end of games and makes the most boneheaded plays... however, he's still the best player on the court and plays lockdown defense on the opponent's best player. Thad Young has horrible handle so he is not the answer in the 4th like sd suggested. Honestly, they should stick with the hot hand in the 4th quarter and last night it was Lou.
yeah he locked Durant down to a tune of 35 points

he still works temple games and i think other big 5 stuff. i mean hes just an absolute godly legend of not only philly hoops but hoops in general and maybe one of the top 10 most important people ever associated with the sport.
but hes 89 and if im him im on a beach 15 years ago, not courtside for sixers/bucks and temple/fordham
i worked with him for a bit and he really is cool as shtein. his office is as old school as it gets with hundreds of papers and 2 or so interns searching newspapers for stats and whatever else
he also wore a different tshirt to work every day for the last 25 years or so..he sent an email out every week or so letting everyone know how many days he was up to. cute old guy.
yea his wife died and he doesnt know how to do laundry...so he just buys new stuff
really nice dude, i met him of course through temple. an old time jew, too. saw him at the kosher for passover restaurant in jenkintown once. word up dh.
what the hell were you doing there?? 38 dollars for a matzah casserole? no thanks
lol
they just clean out their kitchen, you can still get normal meat dishes. they did make a killer fried matzah though.
anytime i spoke to him i couldnt not think that he was the guy who wrote the 100 card in wilts hand..talk about a philly hoops legend. sonny hills got nothing on harvey.
(http://sportsthenandnow.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/wilt-100.jpg)
he also came up with stuff like blocked shots and separating offensive and defensive boards

Prince
Kobe
Artest
No way I'm taking any of those three over Iguodala except maybe Artest. Kobe's not playing the lockdown defense he was in his prime, and Prince has always been overrated and now that he's getting older, he's slowing down as well. Artest did a good job on Durant last year, and he's the only one of the three I'd consider lockdown at this point. I'd say since Bowen, there really hasn't been a legit lockdown defender for 40 minutes a night. Guys like Ariza and Barnes do it in spurts, but no one for the entire game. Cept our boy Iggy. :D
Hawes needs to embarrass himself more often in the introductions. Nice 1st quarter from him.

As long as this team gets away from a matchup with Chitown in the 1st round. They will kick the living ish out of this team. Watching bulls vs. Jazz and Rose is freakin sick. Up by 20 after the 1st, Rose has as many points as the Jazz! LOL
74 points tonight? WTF is going on tonight with the Sixers and Flyers? Was there a tsunami warning in Milwaukee and at the Wells Fargo Center we didn't hear about?

shut. up.
anyone watching this?
epic comeback by your future 5 seed sixers
until they get frontline toughness they will always be pathetic
farging Iguodala thinking he's Kobe.
also lets not forget the iguodala factor
he goes off late 4th...hits a bunch of insane shots...then that last possession of regulation + ot the ball doesnt leave his hands. and you get brick city.
still they steal this game if meeks hits that FT.
Lol Iggy comes up small in money time...AGAIN
Nice top of the back board 3 pointer.
again its and inherent problem with him and the team
he was hot for a bit but since hes not an all world player those things come and go. and it went away in OT. yet i think williams had 2 shots and brand had 1 and that was it. otherwise it was all igy, all the time. and you get the result you get when that happens.
also i love the step back jumper at the end of the game thinking hes kemba walker on some fat scrub from pitt.

jodi meeks missing that free throw lost the game...never should have went to OT...top ten free throw shooter in the league has to make that
watching elton brand try to play on the block defense is painful
back to back possesions in OT kirelinkos follow jam and jefferson abusing brand down low was the final nail...they have to get a true power forward or defensive center....its just a must
dont forget jeru missing that three pointer with no one within 7 feet of him
jeru needs to take his diapers off in close games. shtein is getting real old.
reggie miller needs to call iguodala on the phone and tell him hes not him. quick.
yup all of things will add up, the meeks one was especially a killer
problem is this effort could kill them tomorrow night. might have been better off quitting in the 4th since they couldnt finish the job
i know its on the road but they never should have had to give forth that kind of effort against a team who had half their rotation injured

And a team that's been an absolute mess since the Sloan/Deron Williams departure, and even before that.
fargin eh. I didn't see the game. Heard it on the radio. Help me understand why they let Miles drive and score in 2 seconds to tie it up? Sounded like they didn't even try and stop him.

It's nothing more than speculation at this point, but the Lakers are rumored to be targeting D Howard in 2012 and in order to make cap space for him, would put Bynam on the trade block as early as this coming offseason. Tons of talent, tons of injuries. Would you make a move for him?
id def consider bynam depending on the price and who else is available....but how about dwight howard in philly!!
Todd will be hosting a half hour show on ESPN to talk about Temple sports before Howard ever ends up in Philly.
wow, you think the odds are that great against it ? :o
Actually, I think they're worse. But I don't like being a total downer and was trying to give the little guy hope of having any sort of successful career in sports media.
c'mon now, no doubt the lil guy is heading towards a job at the gray lady someday.

Subject: Leaving Duke
I graduated from Duke last May and just wanted to express my disgust for your decision to leave the Duke program after only two years. As an alum, not only do I hold the school in high regard, but the basketball program as well, especially since both have deservedly garnered such a great deal of respect for their accomplishments.
As part of our basketball program, you represent Duke as a whole. We are first and foremost an academic school, you clearly did not belong at Duke in the first place if this was the extent of your commitment to Duke and a college education in general. You have not only insulted the current students who are putting in four years at a school they love, but also the thousands of alumni who have realized the value of a Duke education and what an honor and privilege it was to be there for four years.
If you do not realize the opportunity you has infront of you to play for Coach K and at the same time attain a Duke diploma, then that is certainly your loss. I just wish that you has spared us the notion that you were continuing in the tradition of being a Duke student-athlete, in emphasizing excellence in both academics and athletics. You will not be considered part of the Duke family, in my mind as well as many others. You have by no means proved yourself worthy of that title.

fine 12 years
Funny part is that Elton, from all accounts, is a class act. He was one of the four players who paid for their coach's health insurance costs while on the Clippers. Yeah 70,000 split between 4 NBA players ain't much, but a good deed is a good deed nonetheless.
duke fans were panicky bitches back then because no one had ever left early and then within like 20 months brand magette and avery all jetted
I wonder if that skank sent a nasty email to everyone on the Duke Lax team when they were suspected of gangbangrape.

His class was on a field trip to the art museum and they were doing this shoot. The photographer told the kids jump in. Next thing you know he's on the cover of SI.

stop watching HATER
merely noting that there is a sixer game friday....mentioned nothing about actually watching it
stop paying attention
Wow - keep this shtein up!! 42-26!
damn this team gets better to watch each game...ball distribution is just silly.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
parade all but a formality
I swear to god Iggy must practice air balls at practice.
and anytime they want to put a body on Wade would be fantastic.
I challenge anyone to find a worse late game player then Iguodala
ive got to imagine that wade is pretty good, but thats just a hunch i have
Iggy the stopper
nice playoff preview tonight
Anyone going to this? Matisyahu is awesome. He has a huge following in the islands.

Bailed Iggy's choking ass out.
so channeling surfing is down and atdhe only has soccer games
and nbatv is showing a replay of yesterdays game. farg. farg.

sucks thad got hurt because he was a beast tonight. hawes is filling in nicely though
They stopped the bleeding...come on, lock this bitch up
I love this friggin team
great farging d down the stretch.
Thads earning himself a nice little free agent contract--especially putting up those kind of numbers against a Bulls team.
Thad is a freakin PIMP
Nocioni is a goddamn abortion
first team to 120 wins
man is jeru being ultra aggressive tonite...wish youd see this more opften out of him
I turn it on after putting the kids to bed and the first thing I see is a zesty shot by Iggy in the 4th quarter, Rockets take it down for an easy layup.
lol
really really nice win tonight in what was essentially a playoff game for the rockets who also had been playing really well lately
thad continues to kill it
spencer hawes is killin it lately...i dont think he has had a made basket hit the rim in the last three games
who isnt killin it?...et....i dont believe he played a single second tonight...this after barely playing in the last five games or so......garbage ass andres nocioni has passed him in the rotation
Collins had Turner out there for a solid 20 minutes in Sunday's game and he did absolutely nothing. One bucket, one rebound, one assist, couple turnovers. I guess it's getting a little late in the season to be plugging Turner in just so he can get a better view of the action.
They asked Collins about ET after the Bulls game and he toted the "he has to earn his minutes" line which is another way of saying he needs to work harder.
i suspect some of it also has to do with wanting to go with a more experienced lineup into the playoffs which is why the timing of turner being phased out over the last five games is such...if nocioni continues to get 10-12 minutes down the stretch then we will know hes phasing the veteran in and turner out....turner is out of his league in january games against memphis imagine how exposed hed be in a playoff game
I laugh when I see Nocioni because even though he's Argentinian I head igy saying "eurotrash chain smoking douche..."
He sucks.
got tix for next friday. first game this year. actually pumped for it.

ANYBODY ELSE?
I was never in your gay little club. And I'll ride the bandwagon with igy and Todd (by default). You can have smeags, pg, munson and phreak.
lol, that list makes me understand why Bud Dwyer did what he did
Um...what?
What am I? A homer?
aint no bandwagon
the sixers were uncompetitive and boring a few a couple of years so everyone, except for maybe havas you gets his undies wet with the thought of liking something everyone else hates, pretty much stopped watching them on a regular basis. but they paid attention and knew what was what.
now they are good so people are coming back to paying attention day in, day out and watching most of the games. the bandwagon, though, is not even ready to go. they have to do something else besides get the 6 seed and lose to the celtics to get the bandwagoners back for the first time since the 2001.
look at the phils, the bandwagon didnt fill up until they actually won the world series.

you sided with sunny
i didn't even know i had a side to be on.
i'm just banning igy from the bandwagon because he jumped off. he can re-apply next year.
by that logic hes been off the phillies bandwagon since 1996
by that logic i have a lifetime ban from every team ive ever rooted
if you actually kept to that the world would be a much better place
cf would suck though

Is there a more underrated player in Philly or the entire NBA than Thad Young?
what are the odds for sixers to win the east?
Still 100/1 on sportsbook
Avery Johnson calls Thad the Sixers MVP:
http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/sixers/20110402_Sixers_Notes___Nets_coach_says_Young_is_Sixers__MVP.html
ruthlessly efficient quarter by the gawd squad
turnovers + fouls in the entire quarter = 3
30 pts up 10
lou williams missed the flight to milwaukee.....good farging god has he been awful
sixers shooting 38% and have four pts total from the bench and are somehow only down three
this is just sickening...sixers had 30 pts in the first quarter and now have 67 with six minutes left in the game
thad decided to show up in the 4th and is beastin
I was listening to it on my phone and that 3rd qtr just sounded awful.
whoooooooa nelly....goin down to the wire
please let them win god
20 seconds left sixers ball to win
here you go--iguodala drive coming
21.1 left....does Iggy take the final?
ET = 0.0 of run
just unbelievably awful execution....why did jeru have his back to the basket before he started his move...should have dribbled up top then started
that said a better pass to a wide open thad and the games over
jesus christ has jrue been horrendous this year in games like this
can they be an worse in the final 30 seconds
last thing is missing is a closer and he is not on the roster
What happened...Jrue got picked? I'm following online

Yes - ok, I will...does it work for baseball too or do we have to download and buy the MLB app?
That video is about 40 seconds behind the Yahoo live boxscore...downloading the radio app now
I'd assume so if wip is broadcasting the game. I don't even know what station if Philly broadcasts Phillies games anymore, it's been so long since I lived there.

No worries. I like it better than iheartradio because you can listen to both 97.5 and wip on it. Not that I listen to wip all that often but I will if they are broadcasting a game. 97.5 for whatever reason doesn't broadcast games on the web though. So you get a nonstop loop of Mikey Miss for 3 hours telling you to check back after the game. Not sure why they can't broadcast but wip can.
Sweet Lou injured his hammy so they signed Antonio Daniels to a 10 day contract.
anyone just see that dunk by thad?
ET actually looks decent
sixers are so much quicker than the celtics its not funny....pray they meet in the first round
Oh definitely - they'll win it in 5.
The Celtics haven't gotten over the Perkins trade. They're still whining about it. That combined with the fact their median age is enough for a farging retirement home and the Sixers will run their asses silly
they are the one team in the playoffs who defend the rim worse than the sixers....couldnt have a better matchup than to play them...
im just afraid without lou they are gonna lose these next two games get passed by the knicks then get swept by the heat...ET has looked good tho filling in but more than likely hes gonna be inconsistent as hell
that first half was awesome basketball
I'm going to listen to it and watch the phillies comeback
Yo...per Reuben Frank posting on twitter - Iggy is 26-45 from the FT line in his last 10 games
How is that possible?
thats funny cause i was just saying like five minutes ago to someone im watching the game with that he literally goes 1 for 2 everytime now
How much run has Daniels had?
like five or six minutes....took an awful three when he first entered the game and turned the ball over once...also has a bucket
game is over
they miss lou when their halfcourt offense goes into a funk as hes the only guy on the team who can take his man off the dribble when he wants...and the only guy who can hit a three without having to spot up
and this is by far the worst offensive game ive ever seen iguodala play...he better have the flu or something because he is pathetic
Way to come out ballin' after the half.
Not over yet though...
damn did i do something?
literally three seconds after i posted tht iguodala ripped off five pts in 20 seconds and beasted a rebound went the length and dished to ET to draw a foul
farging back in this shtein son!!
EB base line jumper....got it to 4
So much for that...
Knicks winning big
that was the most disgraceful thing ive ever seen
i literally wanna murder spencer hawes....he is farging garbage
and the celtics are so much more professional than the sixers its sickening...i dont know what the team assist totals are but the celtics have a lot more than the sixers...and its not just the assist but its the pass that sets up the assist a lot of times with them....they are just veterans who seem to always make the easy and correct decision
so theyre better? wow.

i literally wanna murder spencer hawes....he is farging garbage
He was starting to come around the past couple of weeks. He was money for a few games at the top of the key. Then you get a game like lastnight where he can't hit a layup or defend to save his life.
biggest sixer game in years
too many empty seats
good lord, their defense is horrible
knicks score against anybody...the problem is unlike everyone else they arent scoring against the knicks...its amazing how much they miss lou...when you think about it he might be the player they can least afford to lose mainly because everyone else on the team has an interchangable part...but lou is the only pure scorer on the team...so on nights like this when they cant score they dont have him to come off the bench and spark with some pts...their bench is just getting murdered without him and thats usually a big advantage for the sixers
holy farging shtein this is insane
I mean...
Awwwwwww yeah!
But 1-15 from 3?
13-20 from the line?
Like McGinnis says C'mon!
So I guess this is happening.
wow is that a dagger turn of events
meeks goes halfway down and comes out and douglas buries one
jrue with a notorious turnover
nbatv live cut in now
this will not end well
this one hurts like no other
jeez...thats a three
unreal
Perhaps I should have just kept my mouth (fingers?) shut and continued to not pay attention to the sixers.

Thad was the only reason they came back at all. If you want to talk about chokers lets talk about Iguodala letting Melo hit that 3 almost uncontested. A few seconds before Melo hit that 3 Zumoff said "he's going to pull back and take a 3". Pretty sure every person in the building knew what was coming next with the exception of Iguodala. Thad is so much better than Iguodala it's almost sickening.
lol good god you love thad...everything isnt a thad iguodala competition...i honesntly dont care that you love thad and when i make an observation regarding thad i am not speaking to anyone in particular...just commentating on the game
you would have much more fun if you watched the games and didnt root for and against certain players because of an internet board and just watched with an open honest mind and root for everyone

and this is by far the worst offensive game ive ever seen iguodala play...he better have the flu or something because he is pathetic
see no matter who you like and who you dont you still have to be honest and see things with an open mind...dont turn watching games into some sort of internet message board comeptition
and just for the record in case my quotes above cause any confusion...
i love jeru
i love thad
i hate iguodala
You're the Iguodala apoligist on this board, I'm the hater. I'm harkening back to a few months ago (and years) to our arguments about Thad playing the 3 over Iguodala. Do you still think they should keep Iguodala and that Thad wouldn't be an adequate replacement?
You guys need to stop arguing over Thad or Iguodala-it doesn't farging matter.
Both players do some really stupid shtein on the court and some very spectacular. Both are starters or should be-who cares. And it could easily be argued thd reason they came back in the game was because of Brand-who is the unsung hero of this team that doesn't get close the praise he should this year because it's expected.
lol at Brand being considered the 'unsung hero' of the team. He's been called the Sixers MVP by everyone since the beginning of the season. An 'unsung hero' is a guy like Lou Will or Thad who doesn't get the credit they deserve.
And yes it does matter, if you move Iguodala and his ridiculous contract you open cap space and let a better player in Thad step in to take his minutes.
Really about Brand? That's not the way I perceive it or have heard.
that's because you're not tuned into Philly sports like I am
Falsest statement you ever said.

i never once said they should keep iguodala
and i guess he could be "adequate" but hes not a 40 minute a game three in this league...hes in the ideal situation right now coming off the bench

great si article on Doug E. Doug
Jrue should not touch the ball with under 1:00 ever again this season.
its amazing how bad he is.
Didn't see the game, what did he do now?
Knicks play tonight?
andres nocioni sucks
almost as bad as Hawes
Great farging effort tonight
Did I hear Zumoff say Orlando has 19 offensive boards?!
yeah....ryan farging anderson has seven by himself more than the sixers team
no lou no iguodala = no offense
they basically have nothing left to play for anyway and are playing like it
and now theyll get miami instead of boston
brooms?
More than likely. I like the drama but this series is going to be painful. They have no one that can match up with Wade. Watching that douchebag Bosh pound his chest and act like an idiot is going to make the situation that much worse. Of course, a Sixers upset would go down as a top 5 moment in franchise history but we all know that ain't happening.
if they even get it close the last five minutes of games are going to be painful watching bron and wade go toe to toe with andre igudoala and a not ready for primetime jeru.
painful.
sixers are going to win that series and shock the world.
long live doug.
Jrue nailing a three from the corner and stepping over LeBron?
actually if bibby guards jeru he should be able to get anywhere he wants to on the court...if im the heat i make a defensive switch and put bibby on meeks
with a full healthy squad i might give the sixers a win or even two at home...but without lou and a hobbled iguodala its a sweep and every game will be in double figures...
and if by chance any games are close or get played in the half court as most playoff games so the heart have arguably the two best players in the league who can either get to the rim in the half copurt or get to the foul line....the sixers have none...and unfortunately the heart are very good at transition defense so the sixers are going to have trouble running even when the opportunity presents itself
over under on how many times lebron posters hawes in the series = 2
poor jrue. that was like one of us getting dunked on last night.

miami!
farg South Beach!
What's with the audio on ABC?
so thats why speights never played this year?
A crying shame. That game was theirs for the taking.
That first sub group consisting of Turner and Nocioni was worthless! Miami got back in it because of that group. Speaking of Nocioni - he's a goddamn bum. I'd rather have Hersey Hawkins coming off the bench than this clown.
Speights is fargin soft-serve. Finish at the rim!!
I really thought they were going to pull it off. farg. Thad's missed free throws and Holiday's pathetic attempt on that drive were horrible. Beating these bitches in game 1 would have been beautiful.

Was Russell there?
he was there in my heart
he likes to piss on toilet seats...so I'm told.
who doesnt
Did the mouse hang and watch the games too? Have you bought him a Holiday jersey yet?
yeah i was feeding him cheese curls on my shoulder during the games
mathew is a special human being when he gets hammered.
Yes he is. Just keep some Saran wrap closeby for when he starts to get all liquored up Irish kissy faced.
I think we (Russell) lost him for most of the 2nd half in Nashville. Not really sure how he found us in the parking lot, but he did. Then he started throwing cans of beer at Titans fans. It was cute.
Now now. I didn't lose him because it isn't my job to keep tabs on him, although it is true that I tend to be the one who everyone looks at for guidance when he disappears/passes out/throws a punch/pukes on their date. I guess maybe that's the down side of being able to hold my liquor.
Here's my advice. Enjoy the spectacle. And don't interrupt my drinking. Dickhole.
rjs = responsible one.
bwahaha. i call bullcheet.
Sadly, I was the responsible one on game day. Chuggie, rjs, matty and squaw were all riding with me, so I didn't drink much at all that day and I don't think I drank anything after the game.....maybe a beer, but that's about it. I wish I'd have gotten black out drunk so I could forget that game.
TNT tonight?
yes
so is everyone watching all these things live or are you being dorks and dvring sixers and flyers
For me the Flyers are on 200, the Sixers are on 201, and the Phillies are on 202.
Hawes makes my eyes bleed. 9 pts so far?
they cant farging buy a basket
also speights is horrendous. and what in the hell is evan turner doing playing in a playoff game let alone an nba game. he sucks.
so many wide open looks missed
Go me
they are somehow in this game even though they should be down by 25. i guess thats good.
jesus this shooting is horrible.
Hey iggy take another jump shot
wowzers
yea i mean thats gonna happen against this team but the sixers are asking for it by shooting worse than butler in the ncaa title game
thad goes to the rim and gets bodied fairly good...probably wasnt a foul but it just looks horrible when on the next play lebron comes down and theres a phantom call that goes his way
yeah, it's not the reason they are losing, but the officiating ridiculously unbalanced
thats was the single worst thing ive ever seen
if you take out turner the team shot 7 for 36 (19% lololol)
and to their credit the heat really arent out playing them
its just incredibly easy for a team like that to build a double digit lead when they get that many chances in transition.

Exactly like the last game. Its bad. NOt why they lost, but possibly a reason they lost game 1. could the NBA want the Heat in the finals anymore than they do? Its hideous.
This series is borderline unwatchable. The refs favoring the Heat is bad enough, but then you have to see that douchebag Bosh running up and down the court. Probably my most hated player in the NBA.

Here we go.
No, they got destroyed tonight. They had no chance to win this series regardless.
That said, the refs could give them a fighting chance instead of completely made up calls for no other reason than Miami is the other team. Its awful.
I didn't see so I really can't say one way or the other. Is Lebron going to get some phantom calls? Yes. He's the biggest star in the NBA. No one on the Sixers deserves superstar treatment. I'm not saying it's right or wrong, but that's how the NBA has been for as long as I can remember so I just write it off as part of the game.
Its not just Lebron getting the phantom calls...and its the awfulness of the calls that are being ignored against the Heat. I mean, blatant calls that just can't be missed.
Even if Tim Donaghy had money on the Sixers and was ref'ing this series it still wouldn't make a difference.

Agreed. I already said that. But the last game? They had a chance. A small one, but they played their asses off.
They were shooting lights out to start the game but we all knew that wasn't going to last.
I was talking about the 4th quarter.
They don't have a finisher and the Heat have 2, even when they cut it close I didn't get my hopes up.

i actually dont mind certain players getting the benefit of the doubt on calls...soft ass iguodala is not going to get the same treatment from the refs as lebron who would rape your mother to get to the rim
but superstar calls are superstars getting a call on a similar play where another player doesnt
superstar calls are not where a superstar gets a phantom call and the other player gets banged and theres no call
iguodala might get more calls if he wasnt such a Hoyda and actually went to the rack more than 2 times a game.
its become habitual for refs in the nba to blow the whistle for guys that like going to the rim on a continuous basis....especially guys like lebron who go to the rim and the defensive player just sticks his hand out to try and swipe the ball. thats a foul call every time....and certainly dont expect the call to go the other way late in games.
that was one of the saddest games ive ever seen.

Catching some of the highlights, I see where the complaints are coming from. I saw one where BronBron pulled up at the free throw line and hit a shot. Didn't notice who the defender was, but he didn't appear to leave the ground and put his arms up in the air. Didn't even appear to be contact and the refs still blew the whistle. That type of ish does bother me. Guys like LBJ and Wade are hard enough to guard one on one as it is. Really don't need the refs giving them those types of fouls. I just assumed PG was going on with her over the top ways. Maybe not in this case. Oops.
It's not even worth getting upset over. They're overmatched and won't get any calls since the NBA wants Miami/Boston in the next round. Be happy if they win one...

This annoys me. Why is LA down 0-1 to the freaking Hornets? Obviously the league wants marquee matchups because they are best for tv ratings and advertising, but the refs aren't going to officiate games to make sure it plays out that way. There is no conspiracy. Especially in this series where there's really no need for it.
theres absolutely no conspiracy and i knew if i even brought up the refs mega homers like pg and easy would bring a conspiracy up
consider this a lesson learned
ha..conspiracy theory again.
you people must of missed the whole regular season when wade, lebron or any other superstar gets these calls every game all year. playoffs are no different. sure there are very questionable calls and last game was a little indicative of that, but do you think iverson went to the line 18 times a game because he was fouled hard every single time? it goes both ways. expect it.

if there were a conspiracy they would let the sixers win a couple so they could hide the fact that there is a conspiracy
CONSPIRACY!!
The Hornets won because Paul is a superstar, the Lakers are breaking down and each team had the same number of FTs.
I expected a sweep before the series started because Miami has way more talent and playoff experience, and whatever the refs do won't affect my opinion, but there's no way you could've watched Saturday's game and said it was called fairly. That 2nd quarter was garbage. Give both teams a chance and let the players decide it, that's all.

Evan TURNovEr?
Great hustle on the offensive boards
These guys couldn't grab a defensive rebound for shtein tonight. They just looked a little tired in the 4th. Lazy on the boards and a lot of short jumpers off the front of the rim which usuallly means tired legs.
This team is without a doubt the worst sports team in Philly. Just BRUTAL!!
I doubt they're tired, last game was what, Monday? They were just flat out beat tonight. Played well, and the better team won. Thad is useless against a long athletic team. Lou obviously needs to be on the floor more. None of this really matters considering the Heat have Wade and Lebron.
I'd rather watch a Philadelphia Force softball game then this hot mess!

It was a good game but they just didn't have anything in the 4th. I figured they were just spent from holding off the Heat for 3 quarters. Iggy has been absolutely brutal so far too. He had 10 or 11 assists, but he hasn't contributed much on offense. Nice to see that Jrue isn't intimidated by the Heat or the playoffs. His 3pt shooting was on point tonight.
They never had a chance in this series. Tonight was the one and only game they had a chance to win. I think they can stay with any team but when it comes to crunch time they just don't have that player who can step his game up. Miami has 2 guys in James and Wade and the Sixers have noone who can keep up with Wade.

that was actually a really fun game to watch.
the heat are just better.
i don't want to beat a dead horse but i still say cousins in the draft this year over turner and that would have made a huge difference.

the first half of game two was better than the best womens softball game ever...but oooooh but we got to do a night in downtown rockford with my beautiful children...aka i didnt see a single young black male that wonderful evening
Jennie Finch > Sixers
Lebron and Wade are both averaging 20+ points per game
Iggy = premier defender
It's well documented that I'm an igy hater but you can't blame that on him.
if you hold lebron and wade each below 30 thats actually not half bad
they are kind of two of the 5 or 6 best scorers in the universe
except when they can score whenever the farg they want, which they did.
the reason it's not higher is because they are feeding bosh the ball because he can't be stopped. that way, they can tell him to shut the farg up when they play the celtics and he gets 1/4 of the touches.
they should be able to do that, they are going to be better at scoring than anyone is going to be better at stopping them
the sixers dont have anyone that can answer back. no ray allen or paul pierce. no derrick rose. no tony parker or manu ginobili. no kobe. no durant. no dirk.
i.e. they are not beating the heat
right, but i'm always told that iguodala is a premier defender, he should be able to shut down one of those guys.
the only person who says that is havas and hes on record as being a. an unapologetic sixers homer and b. an igudoala-apologist.
theres not a person in any knowledgable basketball circle in the world that would tell you iguodala isnt in a very small group of the best defenders in the nba...im not saying he def should win it but if he won the defensive player of the year this season no one outside of this board would question it
only a message board iguodala hater wouldnt point out his defense in this series...hes been as disgraceful as any player ive seen in a long time on the offensive end of the court in these three games...soft as farg going to the rim...uninterested...basically has given up hes so discouraged at not being able to function on that end of the court...but to call out his defense is simply to hate and is so off base its not even funny
At the game last night the usher for our section kept booing everytime iggy touched the ball. Not sure I've seen that before.
Actually agree with igy on this one... there's a million things wrong with the team, pointing out Iggy's d of all things is retarded. Pretty psyched I have tickets to see them get swept.
well if he maybe made a stop once in awhile instead of letting lebron or wade go right past him i wouldn' t hate on his defense
You clearly have never been to Rockford. They have black people even here in MA!! Its amazing I know..
13% black according to the 2000 census
are they segregated block busters do you guys let them in
im guessing there were 0% at the womens softball game
"safe" sport
i bet you they try and hustle though
none of that playground ghetto talk
13% is pretty good for MA isn't it? Also yes, they keep any non-white person on the west side of the city and they have drawbridges over the rock river to limit access.

Beautiful pass from Holiday. These guys have no problem starting fast. They get a money 4th qtr guy and they'd be playoff legit.
Nice to see Iggy and Turner both show up.
et got some game
Sixers getting schooled right now. So much for the big lead.
i love jrue holliday, but there are like 3-4 minutes of every game when he plays a brain dead moron
Terrible play the last half of the 2nd qtr.

stop complaining, he played good for most of the game, bitching about a few bad plays in the middle will get you punched at the bar
amazing 3s there by jrue and lou. i didnt think either one would fall. time to see if they can hold on.
lebron had a pull up 3 right off the inbounds...for some reason he didnt take it
and how about evan turner not being a bust after all?
perhaps the biggest thing about this game:
the ball did NOT go through iguodala down the stretch. as it should have it been it was jrue and lou.
Good win. They'll probably get closed out in Miami, but after tough losses in game 1 and 3 it's good to see these guys finally take one. Hopefully they get a few national games next year so I can see more of them. Pretty sure I've seen them more in the postseason than I did all year.

what a farging awesome game.....i dont care if they lose by 30 in miami this was my championship for the year
At least they didn't get swept like the Knicks
That last minute was great and at least it builds some confidence moving forward for Tuesday or next year or whatever
someone to guard the front of the rim and another shooter and they are on their way
spencer hawes not doing it for you
how farging good would spencer hawes be coming off the bench to spell a true power forward or center
how about Greg Oden with some Gump braces
This game really showcased the Sixers' depth compared to the Heat. The Heat bench was invisible other than those Chalmers 3s. Turner (!) and Williams ended up the top scorers for the Sixers. Obviously the top-tier talent of the Heat is way too much for the Sixers to overcome on a typical day, but Collins has actually given me hope for the future of this team in the first time in many years.
I don't think there would have been any shame in getting swept this series, especially the way they played Games 1 and 3, but the Sixers really gave their fans a treat today.

how great are these sportscenter highlites of the sixers.....ive never been more proud
I had 4th row seats behind the basket by the Sixers bench, the game was farging insane. Never been that close, sick seats. Wells Fargo has never been that live when I've been. Awesome view of the cheerleaders too.. goddamn.

I had the game on and off and I noticed how loud it was too.
Nice to see and hear that.
During this series, the Sixers have outscored the Heat by 29 points when the Heat have their starting 5 on the court....which they've had for roughly 60 minutes of actual game time. Less Chalmers/Anthony, more Bibby/Big Z, please.

Come on Sixers...
Jodie Meeks nice three. D up and get on a run
Anyone wanna put a hand in Chalmers' face?
Maybe they could try and d up on Avatar.
Nice drive Holiday.
LOLeBron
Quit farging crying, Hoyda.
And Spoelstra looks weird. Like a guy who gets fake mad.
Grab the momentum and letssss go!
they are keying in on the rim, trying to make up for their lack of size and lebron/wade penetrating
chalmers getting his pick of the litter from 3 is what you give up to do that
They're going to win this.
That dunk by Iggy was sick.

i dont know....they have played pretty damn good as good as you could ever expect in this situation and the heat have been pretty bad and the sixers are still down by 5
They'd have a better shot if they'd hit their farging free throws!
Come on Lou and Thad - 4th qtr in an elimination game - hit the farging shots
Handing away pts at the line. Thad has no confidence in his shot.

Not been lous best game
they are just so damn small
even minor advantages like the one wade has over jrue is killing them.
can we dream about maxing out for dwight howard?
yeah thad and lou dont even have 10 pts btwn them...not gonna get it done
thad young has 11 pts in the last three games combined and sd wants him running 40 minutes a game next year
Mo is on Miamis side and they're not defending the three. I swear it seems as if teams shoot an ungodly percentage against them.
Let's go!
Bosh is a goddamn clown
And ET is overmatched defensively
offensive glass is murdering them and et always looks like hes gonna cry when something goes against him
Huge block against Jrue there - did he go up with the correct hand or did he leave the ball exposed? Wouldve cut it to 4.
chris bosh sucks. getting bitched by elton.
its a shame wade is unstoppable.

Iggy is having a good night but prior to tonight he was shooting 28%. I'll take my chances with Thad.
win or lose how can you not worship this team....if he asked me to i would literally hold doug collins nuts in the side of my mouth like a couple gobstoppers
Time to win the last 3 mins. Please

I just said the same thing on FB. I want them to win so bad, just because I don't want their season to be over. I can't remember a Sixers team working this hard.
garbage foul on Thad
Come on....take this shtein
Thad!!
Ok ok yessss!!
TIE IT UP COME ON!!
Evan Turner has gone from boy to man in this series.
I am so excited watch him progress more and more.
farging ET gotta hit that shtein >:(
theres got to be a better option that turner there
thad has had a huge fourth quarter
amazing that lou has been benched for most of this quarter for ET....unless hes hurt and we dont know it
the shot doctor cant get with tuner fast enough...man has he missed some really good looks in the last six minutes

he was in there for D when they were down 6-8 pts....but i agree they need lou in there for offense now
wow thats a shocking call
Yeah, ET has been off with good looks staring him in the face. Gotta drain it, kid.
LOL Wade. Yeah, you're a tough guy.
lou has to be hurt...collins brought meeks in
Iggy has been unreal tonight
How the hell does Joel Anthony hit both of those? Unbelievable.
Theyve missed one ft this game. Thought anthony was missing one for sure there.
Iggy is clutch tonight...which means he likely gets the last shot.
Gotta bring Lou in with Meeks for the three ball.
Take the quick two if its there and then foul
sonofabitch
why not take a 3 there?
Of course.
i know he was feeling it tonight but you gotta go to the rim there and if you cant get there kick out for the three

exactly. If the lane is there make the lay up or dunk - if not drive and kick. No 15ft jumpers in that spot

Yep. Rare that I agree with snow but jumpshot=take the 3
Damn. :-\
Great season though. A lot to look forward to...whenever the impending lockout is over.
Proud of them. They battled.
farg Wade and his little dunk at the end.
gotta say that i prefered the lack of iggy midrange jumpers down the stretch on sunday.
Go Boston.
I hope Wade breaks his face for that dunk and then thanking the Sixers for getting them ready. Blow me, fake attitude tough guy.

and you might be the only person on the planet that hates d wade....hes is so awesome on every level
is that the best 41-41, 7 seed, first round exit, 1-win playoff season in sixer history?
yes sir i think so.
Supposedly that Wade dunk meant the over won by 1 pt...ha. Looked like he went right over to Collins and said something right after it though. Didn't look like anyone was pissed
Ah well....maybe next year they'll win 45. No cap room to get any better unless they trade Iggs

I hate Miami since the bullshtein decision and subsequent trotting out with fog of the three jagoffs.
And I used to like DWade but it seemed like he went away from how he used to be to some fake tough guy. Just my opinion.
But I want them to lose.
Gimme Boston and Chicago in the ECF.

You are correct on both accounts, but aren't you going to be rooting for your boy? D-Wade is my 2nd favorite non-sixer though. Became a fan watching him in the tourney when he was at Marquette and been following him ever since. Unbelievable player. If BronBron weren't such a douche, I'd be rooting for the Heat from the East.

I asked Iguodala if he expects to be back with the Sixers next season. "I expect to be back in the NBA," he said.
Good answer

if preston broadus was running the point for boston i would still wish death on them...when i was a kid my first true sports hate was the celtics and its never wavered an inch since then....i still have nightmares of pasty ass bird and mchale getting two inches off the ground to give each other in the "air" high fives
QuoteSources: Iguodala a no-show at meeting with team officials
Andre Iguodala did not show up for his exit meeting with Sixers officials today, multiple sources have told the Daily News.
Iguodala was the only player who did not have an individual meeting with coach Doug Collins, team president Rod Thorn and general manager Ed Stefanski a day after the Sixers were eliminated from the playoffs in five games by the Miami Heat.
Iguodala was at the team's practice site at Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine for a team meeting and also to talk to reporters.
Players met with Collins at 11:30 a.m. After Collins met with reporters, players were made available to the media and were rotating to the second floor of the facility for their exit meetings.
In his meeting with reporters, Iguodala was asked about his comments made after Wednesday night's game about his future with the team.
"I never said I didn't want to be here," Iguodala said today. "Like I said, I just want to compete for titles. We made a lot of strides this year. I think we're heading in the right direction."
Last night, Iguodala responded to a question about whether he expected to be back with the Sixers by saying, "I expect to be back in the NBA. It's always been a dream of mine to play ball. This has been a great ride so far, not just with the Sixers, but playing basketball in general. So I'm really looking forward to getting some rest this summer, letting my body recuperate and get back to 100 percent."
Iguodala battled a myriad of injuries this season, coping with a sprained wrist, a sore Achilles' and tendinitis in his right knee. Wednesday night, he had the most spring he's had in a while, erupting for 22 points and 10 rebounds and a few impressive dunks, something his sore knee hadn't allowed him to do recently.
In a followup question about the Sixers, Iguodala said, "I think it's something that I always dreamed about — playing in the league. Once I got here I always wanted to be in one place, not having to move around a lot, being comfortable in one spot. I still feel the same way. Being able to put a stamp on my career and in the Sixers' record books. I always think about that, keep climbing the charts with some of the greatest basketball players ever. Doctor J, Maurice Cheeks, Bobby Jones, Hal Greer, Wilt Chamberlain. Just for my name to be brought up as one of the guys with the most steals in team history is something I've always thought about."
Please trade his ass already
Second that.
