Hd tonight on league pass
40-26....4 seed. Boom.
caved in tonight and bought it for the year.
Starting out with some very poor shot selection.
My man Spencer is killing it.
Hawes is playing really well...
Meanwhile Lou Will gets a gun pulled on him and then takes the dude to McDonald's...
http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/sixerville/Lou-Williams-approached-by-gunman.html
Perimeter defense still showing holes.
As good as Hawes has played no way he should be jacking up a three ball in that spot.
Lol at the officials on Iggy's drive...one calls a charge and one calls a block...should have been an and-1.
Play in control people. shtein. :boom
probably never a winnable game, but not a bad effort against a superior team
the 2 blazers quick runs when they got it to 2 twice killed
Lou is unfargingconscious!
Come on!!
Bad look by Iggy...
4pt miracle coming up?! Not likely.
and that is whats always going to hold them back
andre thinking hes ray allen
Loved the fight they showed.
Loved the fact they has so many guys contribute
Too many turnovers - way too many - 19 I think.
Poor perimeter defense.
Nice to see (well hear) them fight back. Correct J, way to many turnovers.
also loved hearing zumoff again
malik rose isnt a mensa member but hes eons better than e snow, bob sloppy salmi and ed pickeney
McGinnis was as hyper as ever.
Yeah Malik was pretty good...solid addition there.
I love listening to McGinnis on the radio. That guy could make a calculus lesson exciting.
:-D yes he could.
you guys must have been dumbed down by e snow to the point that that your standards have hit rock bottom because malik rose is god awful
he tries so hard to sound smart and ends up always saying absolutely nothing
also probably not his fault but he sounds like clyde frazier which also annoys me
also can we now say elton brand is officially done...his lack of athleticism just kills the team....he cant finish near the rim on offense because he cant get off the floor and he cant guard on the other end
they should have amnestied him and signed tyson chandler

he got better? i passed out by halftime but he started out pretty rough...maybe it was just nerves but he sounded semi retarded.
oops, never mind, should have kept reading.
Malik Rose is better than Snow, but that is like saying the smartest retard.
Agree 100% on Brand, he offers nothing at this point.
if rose said "in between the trees" one more time, I was gonna lose my shtein
The "boom goes the dynamite" guy would have been an upgrade over Snow, but Rose was pretty rough. Maybe they can get Phil E. Moose to do some color.

alls i said was he was better than the previous three dudes who were all pantheon-level awful. maybe its just because hes a philly boy through and through (overbrook and drexel, if that rings a bell to the 2 of you who are actually from philly).
but i stand by it. he aint good by any stretch but its better than e snow snoozing in the middle of a game or sloppy seconds salami attempting to speak.
he fifty times worse than salmi...salmi had a boring delivery but he knew basketball and could break it down quite well
the rest all are terrible in their own special way
Rose will get better...he will grow on youse like Sarge did
i liked sarge from the jump......i want rose permanently dead
baseball you can be substandard as long as you are endearing and can fill time since there so much empty air thruout a season...color guys in basketball have one job to do....be able to break down the game and say semi intelligent stuff...nothing of which rose can even come close to doing

This. There is so much down time in baseball that you can be a loveable dope like Sarge and get away with it. Not to mention that former players are always going to have some great dugout/clubhouse/road trip stories to tell throughout the game.
also sarge doesnt even announce half the game...he probably would be much more annoying if he did so
fact: if malik was a white dude from suburban dc youd worship him
so i hate white people and love them

Hawes looks like a different player this season
with boston being shot and the knicks being the knicks, why cant they win the atlantic this year?
and no a blowout over this terrible suns teams is not the reason im thinking this. its kind of a legit point.
Because Iguodala is still on the team

iggy only kills them with his irrational confidence late in some games. they dont have a superstar so its not like kevin durant is having shots taken away from him. it might theoretically cost them a handful of games here and there, but its still something they can overcome if boston remains unraveled and the knicks implode behind a toney douglas/300 lb. baron davis backcourt.

next few games will be a nice barometer...portland is very good and phoenix very bad so the first two kinda went according to plan...the next three especially golden state on nye will be interesting...but i agree no one in the atlantic is scary unless the knicks learn how to play defense...but does anyone really think thats going to happen to a dantoni team?...plus watch out for amares knee in this meat grinder schedule

My problem with him being on the team is he thinks he's a legit superstar who can put the team on his back and win. He's not and the Sixers have players who can score. He's not needed just like Abreu wasn't needed. They're scared to move on just like the Phillies were. I'm not saying the Sixers will win the NBA championship if they get rid of him but you'll see a big improvement in quality of play. I'm sure I sound like a broken record but I'd like to see Thad get a shot at the 3. I know he can't take the ball up and down the court like Iguodala can but if given the chance he'd be a more consistent scorer and a better rebounder. The only aspect of Iguodala's game that I do like is he plays solid D. When I see him driving up the court as the point forward I want to pull my hair out.
its a true give and take with him though
as much as he frustrates the shtein out of me, youre right the d he plays is ridiculous and hes solid on the fast break. hes a good passer which can go a long way in the paint but in transition buckets as well. thaddeus cant do that.
I still like thaddeus coming off the bench for the 2nd unit to provide scoring, because the problem with full time starter minutes for him is he still has a hard time facilitating plays and maintaining the flow of the offense. watch him when he gets ball--his first instinct is to drive to the basket or shoot no matter what.
Iggy leads the league in 3pt %!

This might be the most important point. Guys like him are more likely to get hurt, and stay hurt. All the games packed into a shorter time period is going to favor a team like the Sixers because they're really deep and really young. Aside from Brand and Iggy everyone who plays is 25 or younger. I wouldn't consider Iggy old at 27 either, and running an 8 or 9 man rotation is gonna keep these guys fresh for a long time. That's gonna kill teams like the Knicks where Melo and Amare have to be on the floor 40+ minutes every night when they have 4 or 5 games a week, every week, until mid-February.

thats cause he has no touch whatsoever...and i dont mean just touch on his shot...he cant finesse anything...everything he does is fast...it could be a pass or it could be a take to the rim....which is not a good thing in pro ball......his bball IQ is really low
he is really good near or at the basket but other than that he gets lost a lot
ironically for a guy who you would thinks bets attribute would be instant offense off the bench his biggest asset to me is defense...hes really long on that end of the court and does a really good job defending
so i get league pass today and just now find out it takes 24 hours to get it activated for the internet feed
farg you david stern
you don't have a tv?
im at work and i watched on the zesty illegal feed
and once again their lack of a go-to guy shines it ugly head. needed some big buckets down the stretch and they aint comin from dre dog or sweet lou.
not much they can do since this person does not exist on their roster but its frustrating at the end of games to know they dont have much of a chance.
With Lou they have a chance, but he's their only chance. That bounce on the layup at the end was unlucky but I'm fairly confident when he has the ball, compared to others anyways. Hawes shoulda had that tip easy. Iguodala coming up 0-3 FT in the 4th, including missing both with around 2:20 left is no surprise. It's amazing that he always plays so well during the game but chokes like a fargtard in a different way every time the game is on the line.
shtein loss. They showed they're a better team than the Jazz in stretches but couldn't maintain any consistency. Agree with everything Todd wrote, they don't have that go to player down the stretch.
Not a good start tonight - they're getting whipped. Better wake up...
they woke up, bitch
and malik is hideously bad i still contend hes better than e snow
I am listening to it on the radio.
Good to see them wake up though...I still worry about the damn perimeter defense.
Helluva turnaround!
From down 20-8 to leading 63-43.
Iggy looks to be on his way to a triple double.

This team was pretty damn close to being 4-0. Warriors cut it to 15 early in the 4th but it was back to 20 before you knew it. Very impressive win tonight.

Quoteust going up on ESPN online: Grizzlies in advanced talks to acquire big man Marreese Speights from Philly in three-team deal w/Hornets
QuoteTrade, on course to be completed Wednesday, would send Speights to Grizz, Xavier Henry to Hornets and furnish Philly with two future picks
i'm fine with that....i was the biggest marrreeese fan around for a while but dude needs a fresh start somewhere.
He should have stayed at UF for four years and gotten more seasoning just like 99% of the idiots who declare early for the draft.
Yea what an idiot. Who wants to get paid?
EDIT
It's for two second round picks. What's the point of making that trade? I'd of kept Speights for depth.
I know he's been injured but why not make that trade straight up for Henry? He's only been in the league for a year and has plenty of upside.
freeing up cap space when they trade for dwight
it gets four mil off next years cap for a guy that cant get on the floor
one of the worst defensive players in the league and incredibly soft
he was like jj reddick in david wests body and frankly im surprised they got anything for him
and henry has little upside past being a solid rotation guy
i wonder if this means lavoy allen moves up
The more I think about the Speights move the more I like it. I guess I'm still stuck on the potential he showed his rookie season. Good Riddance.
These Hornets announcers are absolutely horrible
wow jrue went unconscious in these last few minutes. dude is good.
Yeah - he was nuts in the 4th. Great put back dunk by Iggy too.
farging package on DTV didn't have it on in HD though...farging watching SD makes me nauseous.
Great 4th quarter. Holiday was just sick in the fourth. Nice road trip. So close to being 5-0.
Turner needs to get all the minutes at the 2, not only has he looked good but Jodie has been contributed absolutely nothing this year. He can't play D, doesn't rebound, has no handle and can't get his own shot. He's made about 3 jumpers this year so at this point he's worthless.

meeks really has been terrible this year....and i agree his minutes should be cut but et cant play the two...he has no threat of a jumper and doesnt know how to play yet without the ball which would render him pretty worthless at that spot...he can run at the three or as a point forward
I actually think its the other way around with Turner. If you're going to pick one, he moves well without the ball getting around screens (problem is he rarely and can't shoot) facilitating, and positioning himself for rebounds.
Get the ball in his hands he is still antsy and very stiff with it. Loves to cross dribble in front of the defender not doing an offensive thing with it but pass it back outside. If he had any serious first step or acceleration off the dribble what-so-ever he might be a able to consistently dish it off to someone inside.
I don't want a point forward thats enfatuated with taking the ball upcourt just to toss it around the perimeter. He's got a long way to go still.
anyone can move without the ball....not everyone can move without the ball catch it shoot and make it....turner cannot do this thus he has no business being a two...in general until he shows he can knock down a 22 footer with any sort of consistentcy he simply cant play that position
and im not saying hes grant hill (hell hes not even iguodala) all im saying the one of two places he can play in the league right now is as a point forward...he solid with the ball in his hands...
id like to see him post up more tho
I like what ET has shown thus far - he looks more natural this year than he did last year. Hawes is playing great too.
Meeks has been awful.
I love watching this team
meeks and brand have been horrible.
i didn't want them to amnesty brand at the beginning of the year but now i do. he's done.
One thing that frustrates the hell out of me about Turner is that he can never, ever finish on a drive to the basket. If the other team has any decent shot blocking big man it's almost a guaranteed block. He might not be a great athlete but he's still 6'7", and I'm pretty sure I've never seen him doing a single shot fake. Lou is half a foot shorter than him, goes to the rim a lot more and ET still has 2x as many blocked attempts.

thats precisely why i said when they drafted turner that he had no ceiling...he has a relatuively high floor as he does a lot of things good but his lack of athleticism and really the lack of having any above average skill (passing being a possible exception) will prevent him from ever being anything of note
Phreak had mentioned loving watching this team play and I wish I had that feeling like last year.
The unknown last year and watching them grow was the excitement for me. The are the same exact team as last year with a little bit of improved play from Hawes (so far)....so I know exactly what im getting and what the outcome will be come seasons end.
They need a banger with a post game so bad on the inside.
it is annoying that the majority of us scrubs on here knew what ET was but the sixers didn't and maybe still don't. i was annoyed the entire utah game watching favors play. shtein, even with the attitude i still think cousins is a way better missing piece for this team.
and i'm not getting super excited about hawes yet. yeah he has looked much better but as a sixers fan anyone not completely awful at center is somewhat exciting.
they dont need a post player....the days are gone where you needed a big man in the post to win...i sound like a broken record but they need antonio davis...a smash mouth four that can defend the rim and gobble rebounds
they also need a shooter or two
big picture the sixers arent far away from being the pistons team that won it all in 03 but they dont have anything close to that ben wallace type presence inside and they cant shoot
it will be fine when they get dwight howard
Dwight just tweeted he saw the winter classic fight video and said he would never come here.

I don't think so. I mean how many teams had an Antonio Davis or Ben Wallace type player and won the championship? Now how many won the title and had a legit post player?
Would you rather rely on your jump shots to consistently fall in a 7 game series or have a post player that can back down and iso a defender, pass to a cutter and dish out the open j? So much more can be done with a multi-dimensional post player than those players you mention. I'm not saying having the Wallace's or Antonios of the world aren't a sweet deal, but I'd rather go with history and shore up my inside scoring....if not...the stars have to align and your multiple shooters (which the we know the Sixers don't have) have to be lights out.
theres like two really good post players in the entire league and one great one in ALL of college....yeah once every 25 years a shaq is going to come along but those days are long gone...if you are waiting for a big who excels in the post to fall in the sixers laps you are going to be a sad sad man when you die
These fargers are working on 30 years from their last championship what's another 30? The big fella will come...I'm good.
magic number to clinch atlantic is 77.

lol @ malik "a tear came to my eye"
meeks is now 12-42 from the field (3-14 from beyond) on the season
Including that goaltend bucket.. He gets worse with every possession he has the ball in his hands. His fastbreak layup attempt and miss was embarrassing, he was so out of control.
I like Turner more and more. He might not be great at anything but he's just so smooth. Whenever he's at the 3 with Jrue and Lou the guards it's so great to have three guys on the floor who can act as point
its a shame that lou is so small...if he were four inches taller hed be one of the ten best players in the league and the team would have its star go to guy
When did Spencer Hawes learn how to play basketball?
sixers shooting is absolutely atrocious right now
That baseline fadeaway Hawes hit was sweet
Jodie Meeks is turrrrrrible.
Each time I see ET play I like him more and more.
They seem kind of sloppy so far...

so i dvr the game since i was working...hd feed no less
come back and only 90 minutes recorded. 6 minutes into the game the goodnight screen comes up on league pass. and thats it.
i did pick up a few things from the two seconds of gametime i saw
-malik rose is getting worse and worse by the game. e snow was just as bad but openly seemed disinterested. malik seems to enjoy himself and cant formulate sentences or a clear thought. its sad.
-the pregame stuff was terrific except for the new pa guy. he gave generic, bland introductions for the players. massive fail.
-one of the new owners looked like a dork in his sixer hat.
and thats it.

matt cord was doing his thing back when AI was scaring away white people like you. he took up 900 levels when they couldnt win 35 games or draw 12000 people. but back in the day he was the man.
this new guy announced the sixers like he announced the pistons. boring. boring. boring. boring. you dont need to be like the DEEEE-TROIT BASKETBALL douche the pistons have but you can at least add a little flavor to it.

Not on DTV - every game tonight, except Sixers, has home and away feeds in HD. Same with the other night when they were in NO
I feel like they're destroying every bad team. Looking forward to Wednesday.
Same, a lot of my friends are Knicks fans. That game's going to be tough though, it'll be the Sixers third straight game and 5th in 6 days. Knicks have an off day the day before.
They need to win these games too. Check out this part of the schedule:
Jan 30 vs. Magic
Feb 1 vs. Bulls
Feb 3 vs. Heat
Feb 4 @ Hawks
Feb 6 vs. Lakers
Feb 8 vs. Spurs
Feb 10 vs. Clippers

QuoteThe 62 points scored by the Raptors were the fewest in the history of the Wells Fargo Center, dating to 1996. On Nov. 7, 2007, the Sixers held Charlotte to 63 points. ... The Sixers' 5-2 is their best since going 10-0 in 2000-01.
I think it was Mikey Miss the other day saying he wasn't sold on the Sixers yet and he wasn't ready yet to jump on board. Hey, they're 5-2 and I don't give a shtein if they've beaten the deaf and blind school and Our Lady of Sorrow Pre-School. I'm loving this.
mikey miss wouldnt know a basketball if it was shoved up his ass
im not saying go all in on the sixers but dont listen to him when it comes to this sort of stuff
What I like about this team is they're starting to find an identity. Amazing what a good coach can do.
sixers leading the league in both offensive and defensive efficiency rating. weird stat but still impressive.
i just bought 6 tickets to the pistons game in a couple of weeks for $51. thats insane. I wish people would ignore all professional sports en masse for decades at a time.

upper level, center.. row 7
which i assume are "ok" seats. which are fine for me my brother, wives and kids.
they were about $8 a seat, you can't get a ticket to anything for $8 a seat
Yeah, that's not bad at all for $8. I figured you'd be in one of the top 4 or 5 rows holding up the roof.
No Sixers games on tv for me until March and they don't travel out to LA either because of the shortened schedule. The NBA is dead to me this year.
im pretty sure you have the disposable income for the package
I do. But I prefer to dispose of that income directly into my liver.
im pretty sure you can do both. at the same time, in fact.
Vuce!
the bad news is that it must mean hawes reinjured his back
hes back in now.....very curious rotation being used by collins if hawes is healthy
Everyone knows back injuries don't go away overnight. I'm thinking as long as Vucevic is playing well Doug is gonna give Hawes as much of a break as possible.
they have 3 games in 3 nights...and just played a back to back
gotta use all 9 guys...hell tony and noci may get some minutes at some point

Too many turnovers.

Another solid win...they're strong, young and deep on the bench.
be interesting to see where indiana finishes the year...they beat the celtics but i dont believe they have another good win this year which makes their record coming in somewhat fruadulant in my eyes but at the same time they have a real solid roster....
granger was also out tonight which obviously helped the sixers greatly

Surging Sixers one of the topics on Around The Horn.
best defense Ive seen in a very long time...almost stifling...almost.
Thornton out tonight for the Kings
sixers are hitting the jackpot with teams top scorers being out
First in the Hollinger Power Rankings. :-D
lol the kings defense is incredibly bad....the sixers must have had six or seven baskets at the rim...and not once did the kings put up a fight or give a hard foul....just complete turnstile stuff...its a joke
I'd like to see Doug utilize the end of the bench like lastnight to keep the starters and key backups fresh for this stretch.
'The Night Shift'...thoughts?
cousins effort on the defensive end is suspendable
how bad exactly has the kings d been?
if you only counted the sixers pts in the paint they would be down by just six
This is an absolute mauling.
I love it.
This team is starting to make me want the League Pass.

Sixers have five 20+ point victories in 9 games; the last team to do that was the 69-70 Knicks
god damn this team is fun to watch
lol @ 10000 at the game. jesus christ people need to go. disgusting. philly fans = most overrated in the country. total frontrunners except for stepford flyers fans sect.

you have no room to talk....you are fraud central...newsflash they have been fun to watch for a while now...its just that they have a real coach and are all growns up....you were killing me the last three years for loving this team...now they are getting to where i said they were headed and you are officially on the bandwagon...leave everyone alone....this is a happy ride
no one was or is allowed on my phillies hatewagon because everyone has been repulsive homers with them....but the sixer badwagon is available to all as there has been reason to hate plus lets be honest no one likes the nba until their team is good...but there no hate in my heart.....ALL ABOARD!!!
public transportation from north jersey to msg = booze on the train = a whole lot of fun tonight
i really wish this wasnt the third of three for the sixers so that tonight could be viewed as a yardstick game
instead i think this sets up as a relatively easy knicks win or even blowout as the sixers arent going to have normal legs while the kicks played at home monday and had last night off...on the plus side theres no pressure whatsoever as a close game or a win would be a bonus (a win would be farging phenominal) whereas a loss can easily be written off
I think the whole tired legs thing is overrated. The large majority of these guys are young ballers who, if they werent playing pro, they'd be running up and down some street court much more often than 3 nights in a row...and for much longer than 40 or so non-consecutive minutes.
Doug has done a decent job of rotating guys. Luckily the last few games have been blowouts. I mean even Lavoy Allen got some PT lastnight. The tired legs thing shouldn't apply to anyone but Brand.
one pro game = about 10 street games.....playing a pro sport against the top .01% athletes in the world is on a different planet than messin around in a pick up game...and not only is this three in a row for the sixers its the 5th in six nights...
you can get away with it against a dead on arrival kings team on a tough trip of their own and who isnt good to begin with but if the knicks dont win tonight it says a lot about them...mostly that they are a bunch of dogs...if new york wants to be a real player in this league as they portend then they have to win tonight and really should win fairly easily
one pro game = about 10 street games
I disagree. Obviously the competition isn't comparable, but running up and down a court for hours on end, multiple nights a week = making playing 3 games in 3 days or 5 in 6 much less of an issue than people think.
Where I think it does make sense to talk about tired players is when you have guys who have an injury history - i.e. Amare - who may need an extra game off every few days. With a relatively young team (minus Brand), I'm not concerned.
yeah, i was annoyed that tonight is the 3rd straight for the Sixers, but they have been able to save guys because of the blowouts, i don't think it's gonna be as big of a factor as originally thought.
the bigger issue is spencer and his back.

Agree on all of this.
When it comes to street ball, there's no refs and it's insanely more physical than the NBA. No time outs, no half time and the winning team keeps balling until they get beat. Not to mention that playing outside on a concrete/asphalt is about 1000x more draining on the body, especially knees and feet than playing on an indoor climate controlled court.
Teams are 7 and 0 on back to back to back. Stop stressing about the knicks. Shumpert is their savior. Hopefully hawes is back tonight.

you havent seen much street ball have you....they are basically all star games with less defense and are played with guys who are much smaller and weaker than nba players
half the time if someone doesnt have the ball and isnt running the wing for an alley oop they arent moving....lots of times players literally wont even come back on defense...like not even to half court...trust me NOBODY is running for anywhere close to 40 minutes in these games
its beyond laughable to compare them to an nba game
summer league games which are more strenuous than pick up games dont even compare to nba games...people love building up the whole asphalt jungle aspect of street ball but its just not true...just as people try to tear down the nba as a bucn of lazy rich me first guys....dont believe the hype
Quote from: Hawk on January 11, 2012, 12:06:39 PM
Teams are 7 and 0 on back to back to back.
actually teams are 1-5....thunder is the only team to do it...two teams did it during the 99 shortened season
i'm assuming you're talking about the 3rd game of the bunch? because as of a few days ago, teams were 4-0, so i'm assuming hawk's stat is the safer bet here.
EDIT: maybe i'm talking 4-0 against the spread, i don't remember.
im talking about winning all three games of a back to back to back....teams are 1-5 in that situation
im not even saying the sixers cant win...im saying i wish it was an even playing field and that the knicks should win...in fact the knicks should win if both teams had off last night and the game was at ny...but losing at home to the sixers coming off five in six nights and three straight would be terrible for them
its a good spot for the sixers because no matter what happenes they come out smelling good
The Lakers also did it this year. They started the season with 3 straight games (25, 26, 27), lost the first 2 and won the third.
nm....now I see what havas was talking about.
Only the third game is relevant now that the first two are done.
Quote from: FastFreddie on January 11, 2012, 12:50:58 PM

not at all...teams in
the exact same spot as the sixers are tonight are 1-5...and were 2-13 in 99
again not impossible by any means....just not what im looking for in this matchup...i want the sixers to have a bonafied big game that can be used as a litmus test for them and imo tonight is not it
i don't believe the tired legs thing that much either, especially this early in the season, but even if you do, what's the difference if you won or lost the first two? you are less tired when you don't win?
its much harder to win than lose...effort is a big part of winning...see sacramento last night who mailed it in from the jump...tho it is fair to point out that the sixers have played some blowouts recently which dont strees you as much
regardless win lose whatever the sixers have played five games in six nights and the knicks have played one in three.....when talking about this years schedule thats about as big a discrepency as you are gonna see all year
in fact even with the sixers having to go thru this 5 in 6 stretch they still dont have what the knicks have right now (a one game in three days break) until february
pretty sure you're making a flawed statistical argument if you're saying what I think you are. Obviously it is crazy hard to win all 3 games in a back to back to back situation. But the Sixers already won the first two. You can't look at it and say teams are 1-5 when playing all 3 because the first two events are done. The better analysis is comparing teams who had back to back to back, won the first 2, and then had the 3rd game. Your other comparison isn't as relevant.
It's sort of like saying the Eagles went 0-2 vs the Giants in the regular season, but it's really hard for a team to beat the same squad three times in a season so the Eagles should win. You hear that bullshtein tons and it's literally flat wrong. The team that won the first two has proven to actually have a better chance to win the 3rd game as well, but people look at the numbers wrong. They do what you're doing and say "well it's hard to win all 3" which is not right. The team has already won the first two. So the comparison is whether teams who won the first 2 in the NBA in these scenarios pulled through and won the 3rd or whether they lost.
Basically what FF said.
And my point isn't that I'm disagreeing that this is a tough spot for the Sixers, just that the comparison if you want to do it accurately needs to be to other teams who are 2-0 going into the 3rd game in the back to back to back. What you're doing is basically saying like Sarge's example, that the Lakers are 0-1 in your situation because they didn't sweep the back to back to back. But that isn't a good comparison because the Lakers lost the first game. Obviously it's much harder to win ALL 3 than it is to just win the last game after you've won the first 2 so you're comparison apples/oranges.
when playing three consective nights teams rarely go 3-0.....does this make it easier?
Last night a lot of the core guys got rest. Iggy, Thad and Lou all got only 20 minutes or so. Turner and Jrue were on the floor most of the game, but Jrue always seems to be near 40 minutes anyways and I don't think he's ever been tired in his life. Turner will get less minutes tonight as Lou, Iggy and Thad can pick him up. Like someone said, I think at this point the bigger issue is whether Hawes can play and contribute a decent amount. If he can't and Vucevic has to start, the front line gets a whole lot weaker (obviously) because then Brand has to play a majority of the game one way or the other. Despite having his best game of the year I don't think he was even around 30 minutes last night because I remember he sat out the entire 4th quarter. The game against Indiana he was in foul trouble and didn't have many minutes either. They really need Hawes so the other bigs don't get worn down so quickly, especially since they're against Stat and Chandler and likely to pick up a lot of fouls.
Clearly, playing 3 games in a row is tough. I think with this team and their current state, I don't think it's as big of a deal as it could've been.
i dont think hawes matters nearly as much in a game like this because hes outclassed inside by a much better big man...you saw against indiana what happens when he has to face a quality inside presence and roy hibbert aint no amare or even tyson chandler...i dont mean at all to say that they dont need him because they absolutely do because of their lack of quality big men but i dont see him as a positive difference maker in this game
speaking of chandler he is a big addition for them tonight....last year at least hawes could step out and draw amare away from the basket on the offensive end of the court and that would allow the sixers to attack the rim from the wings as the knicks had nothing behind amare at the four or five...now tho they can put the much more mobile chandler out on spencer and have amare patrol the paint
of course the sixers would have a quickness mis match at the other end when chandler and amare are in the game at the same time and this is where the big chess match comes into play...its going to be really interesting to see whether collins goes small against amare and chandler and take the offensive advantage or does he go big and try to protect the boards
imo you go small and try to outscore the knicks as they arent very proficient on the defensive end of the court and chandler is a very guardable big man even with a smaller body as he doesnt have much of an offensive game
we need more nocioni
i need to some more of his secret eurotrash back tattoos

I don't get your point. Hawes was playing limited because of his back. Also Hibbert has much better footwork than Chandler on the offensive end. The next season and future is heavily dependant on what Chandler they got.... Mavericks final Chandler or waiting on a trade hornets chandler
Also, my favorite part of this early success is the people online and in real life who always point out bball sucks are now jumping on the wagon.
normally id care but the sixers especially with new owners need all the support they can get...bring on the bandwagon

I wasn't saying Hawes would have a huge positive impact, just that they need more quality bodies tonight. If Hawes is out the only useful big men are Brand and Vucevic. So either they're both getting around 30 minutes, or you play small and have Thad at the 4 for most of the game.
Agreed on your second point. I watch as many Knicks games as anybody and they just don't play defense. They might have one of the best scorers in the league in Melo and one of the better big men in Stat, but in all the games I've seen it seems those two need to combine for at least 60 for the Knicks to have a chance against a real team. With the way the Sixers have been playing defense I'm pretty confident they'd make the important stops.
I think it's important for Hawes to play. Amare will have to guard one of Hawes or Brand and Brand showed last night he can still knock down the open jumper. Iguodala can hopefully limit Melo and the depth will take care of the rest.

I'm just pointing out how annoying the anti NBA crowd is in this city. They all forget the sixer flags on cars in 01.
up until the middle of last year the sixers were a colossal farcical joke that didnt deserve 1 fan to show up and watch them
between the end of the AI era through eddie jordan....it was brutally, brutally bad. it was like the late 90's phillies where a lot of people who normally get into couldnt be brought to care (that be me).
so right now its not really people jumping on the bandwagon...its the normal fans gradually coming back after about 5 years of being pushed away by terrible basketball. its the not the instant switch the eagles have where they can pull a 40 rating overnight. i mean the phillies didnt even do it that quickly. they were not drawing people in the early 2000's when they were halfway decent. they weren't even drawing more than 20k as far back as 2006.
when you win world series and become the red sox/yankees of the NL, you get a bandwagon. when you give the heat and a run and start the new season with wins over indiana and sacramento, you get the core group back. and thats what irking me, that the core group is too slow to come back. im not expecting a south jersey/munsonion delaware group to come until they win the title, but the regular fans should all be back by now.
so i suppose those of you that stuck with them through everything and watched all 82 games of the eddie jordan era deserve props. you guys are the bestest fans in the whole wide world.
Amazingly enough this exact issue has been bandied about previously.
Enjoy them now is the point and who gives a farg if someone is a bandwagon fan or not?
it depends how you define bandwagon
havas is a maniac and anyone whose life doesnt revolve around sports is a bandwagon fan. everyone else probably sees them more as the types of people you see at phillies games now that hang out in ashburn alley and eat crab fries and take facebook pictures.
those types of people dont even know who the sixers are at this point and will not being buying their lou wil jerseys for quite some time.
I have no problem with bandwagon fans. I have a problem with the NBA sucks/no one cares about the lockout crowd posting status updated. That's not bandwagon, its hypocritical.
i'm not as crazy as ol igy but i don't like it when "casual" fans celebrate my teams winning when they haven't "earned" it. like, i had people at my work wearing phillies shtein with the farging tags on it basically during the 08 series, and while it's nice that it brings everyone together, it annoys me because these farging people weren't suffering through Omar Daal as the ace of the staff, they were living a normal farging life. why do they get to celebrate now?
oh well.
Also, it can't be understated how Nocioni has accepted his role on the end of the bench. The sixers can now save their amnesty on Brand for next year. Now let's hope Jrue and Iguodala can convince their buddy Dwight that the sixers are the best fit. The Nets are an absolute joke. I know it's a long shot but the sixers would be his best fit unless OkC got involved.
When the Eagles were winning and going to the NFCCG every year we had at least 30-40 Eagles fans watching the games at the bar where I watch them. During the 98-99 seasons we had 4. During the last couple of seasons we've started out with maybe 15-20 and against Dallas for the finale we had the same 4 we had in 98-99.
I get it and agree to a point that people who only care when there's a winner in town are dickfaces, but I'd much rather watch with 30-40 bandwagoners than sit with three other diehards.
I will say that the three guys I watch them with are from Philly whereas the other people tend to be from here or there. It's part of the deal living in a beach town in the south.
and again this bandwagon discussion is moot, because there is no sixers bandwagon at the moment
they are still in the process of corralling everyone back in. the question is if/when they get legit good and are winning playoff series how big does it get? the 01 bandwagon was off the charts and possibly bigger than 08 phillies. but only one had AI.
nothing, though can compare to 04 eagles. super bowl week was unlike anything than can exist in a city.
Doesn't look like Hawes is going tonight...Battie will get the start.
Hope I'm wrong here but I can already see Iguodala trying to do too much tonight and farging up their chemistry. He has that look early.
Jrue is hot early, keep feeding him.
Sixers are having trouble getting off screens.

I can't for the life of me figure out why people give more than a passing shtein about this. I can care less if someone's been a fan of a team for 20 years or 20 minutes. The fair weather/bandwagon types are celebrating it simply for the sake of celebrating it and getting drunk. It's like everyone who isn't Irish getting drunk on St Patrick's day and don't have a clue who the hell St Patrick is or why there's a day named after him. Whatever, shtein doesn't bother me one bit. I just make every effort to avoid contact with them because I find them unbearable to talk to. Could really care less about whether or not they've "earned" the right to celebrate it. Get drunk and enjoy it, just don't try and talk to me about it.
It bugs me because when shteins going rough those people usually bash whatever team it is or say how disinterested they are in them but when things heat up - there they are waving a rally towel and talking about how awesome that Brian Howard and Paul Polanco are.
id rather have paul polanco than placido polanco

Iggy the "elite" defender getting worked again
If you're talking about that turnaround Melo hit there's no way Iggy can prevent that. Hardly getting worked. I'm not trying to defend Iggy because I think sometimes he's the dumbest fargin dude but his defense this game has not been an issue
big ups to igy not trying to match melo point for point after all that
he cant possibly win that battle and i dont think hes touched the ball since
Iggy is good defensively, so overrated though. He constantly gives way to great scorers.
I hate Iggy but I have no problem with the way he's playing tonight.
farging worked
Nice run to get back in it.
Oh good thought. Deny ball after he scores on you continuously.
jesus melo is nasty
no one is stoppin that straight up
An elite defender could. Which Iggy is not
Damn....got within 2 and then let those fargers open it right back up again.
You're kidding right? The only person who is stopping Melo on these shots would have to be at least 10 feet tall. How are you supposed to defend 20 foot turnaround fadeaways?

obviously not this time around just as a general "farg you" to free throws.

Double turnover on that possession was nice
That round goes to Sunny.
wasted the last 4 possessions with contested mid range jumpers. no pick and rolls, no driving, just settling for low percentage shots
if the kid hits these 2 its 6...maybe just maybe they can make it interesting
It's the dunbest argument. Good scorers are going to score. Is iguodala a finalist for the olympics because of his three point shooting?
Finally he makes a play
Jesus christ thad you spaz
Horseshtein.
and this will continue to be their problem
no closers, no go to guy. very tough to wins these kinds of games where you need someone to step to in the last 3 minutes

They missed too many open looks tonight
They were dreadful shooting free throws
Lou was horrific
2 of those things were just...whatever. those things will happen in a long season, especially on the tail end of 3 in a row.
the lou thing is what it is. if lou were better he wouldnt be sitting on the bench while jodie meeks starts. when hes got it going hes a terrific player who can maybe takeover a game. when he doesnt have it going hes as useless as nocioni.
He's become a lot more consistent but he still settles for jumpers too much. He's too fast, and not good enough of a shooter, to always be shooting those 3's right as he brings the ball up. Him and Jrue are the only fargin guys on the team who can make a free throw so he's gonna be crucial.
There was a couple brutal calls tonight. The clear path, the falling out of bounds timeout, and the double tech.
no hawes, 3rd game in a row, knicks had an off night and it was still close at the end.
sixers >>> knicks
tony battie 6 pts sweet lou and thad 12 pts combined is not gonna get it done
if you noticed because of tired legs everything was mid range last night...they were terrible from beyond the arc and they couldnt get to the rim...altho i must say i was impressed on how the knicks got out on the sixers defensively...tho im not sure how much of this was the sixers being spent and not being able to take people off the dribble as they normally would....without hawes the knicks also knew the sixers couldnt run their offense from a high post set which limited their options and allowed the knicks to play a lot of their "zone"
hawes was most missed tho not because they didnt have spencer hawes but because they had to play vucevic who was just awful and completely out of his league
and i dont know what sunny is talking about with iguodala...on an empty tank he played carmelo about as good as you can...some of those shots he was making were ridiculous...18 foot fall away jumpers...ill give him that shot everytime and take my chances...he only had a few good looks the whole game....needed 25 shots to score 27 pts and only had one three
harrelson is the one that daggered them...they either didnt repsect him or didnt scout him at all and his threes in the first half killed them and allowed them to get a big lead which pretty much sealed the game...when you are spent like the sixers were you cant expect to come back...they had to get out early and then try and hold on...to much energy is needed to come from that far back
have to wait until march 11 to get the knicks again....its at the garden and there will be no schedule craziness involved
i wonder if dh soiled himself when the strawman came out
Yeah the tired legs were evident....
What was Carmelo; 9-24 or something like that? Like igy said a few of the shots he hit were just crazy. But holding to 9-24 isn't exactly awful.
Straw and Gooden were both there..I've actually met them both before, and suprising both were real nice guys. Pretty sure both were coked up when I met them, so that explains lots.
I told Straw I was a huge Mets fan (in 08'), and he says "I'm sorry to hear that" - Sweetest swing I've ever seen.
if only they had lost tuesday, maybe they would have had a chance last night.
Lol

He did have a sweet swing; but Will Clark and Junior Griffey are up there with him.

With the talent of those two alone, the Mets should have had a long period of dominance.

Sixers are favored by 12 1/2 tonight at home against Washington. It's probably been a while since they were such big favorites.
they're here in dc tomorrow, didn't realize they were doing a home and home. i see them losing one of them but i don't know why.
also, i've heard of people around here getting wiz tickets for $1. good chance i'm courtside again tomorrow.
80% shooting for an entire quarter is kinda good.
wow they look good. and jodie is strokin it. hope thats a good sign.
Still would like to see them beat a good team, the stretch in February is going to be interesting. Good to see they kill all the bad teams though
i forgot to dvr this game
oh well. did malik drop another negrodamous
when Jodie hit a 3 to put them over 100 Malik said all the fans were excited for "Meekdonalds"
its crazy how the fact that the sixers spread the ball around translates into having quiet blowouts
when a team doesnt have a superstar and puts six or seven guys in double figures every night 20-30 pt wins sneak up on you...ive watched every second of every game this year and to me it hasnt felt like they have had a single 20 pt win much less a half dozen
jerus dunk was so sick tonight...where did that explosion come from...what made it most impressive was that he did it left handed....and what a sick job he did on john wall...took him completely out of the game
Quote from: Dillen on January 13, 2012, 09:24:46 PM

totally agree...but dont even need to wait til february....denver miami atlanta orlando still to come this month...orlando will be the one im most looking forward to for an obvious reason - dwight howard
horford is out so atlantas front line wont present the challenge i hoped it would
the sixers do so many things right that i cant help believe that they will fare well against a lot of the better teams....instead of beating zesty teams by 20 they beat good teams by four....the question is how will they do against teams with a significant front line advantage...thats what i wanna see
btw with the celtics going down tonight the sixers will already have four more wins than boston
yeah the balance they have is sick. they had 5 guys in double digits very early 3rd quarter...maybe even late first half.
After tonight 7 guys are averaging double figures and Jodie is right behind them at 9.1 ppg.
Does anyone think the Celtics are really done? I figured they are a lot older now and it'll be hard for them in the shortened season but I still think they could get hot. It just excites me to think if they hover around .500 the entire year the only threat in the Atlantic is the Knicks... and I don't think they're a real threat

celtics just came back from 20 down to get within one....im not overly impressed with the knicks but they are not a good matchup for the sixers at all....i could see the sixers winning the division but if you asked me who would win a seven game series btwn the two teams id pick the knicks

Agreed. Short season with fewer off days hurts the Celts and even the Knicks to a lesser degree more than it does the Sixers because they are so young. So their reg season finish might be a bit of fools gold. I think they win the division by a few games but struggle in the playoffs.
I got home too late to see this one but I watched the end of the Celts/Bulls and Boston looks horrendous.
Like Magic just said on the post-game; its only going to get worse too.
Choke on it, Boston.
I know John Wall is still young and there are growing pains but he looks like he's regressed this season. His supporting cast isn't doing him any favors either.
yeah the team is so brutally bad that he doesnt have any choice but to suck...however that aside unless he improves his jumper he will never be the player that his talent should allow.....but easily the biggest factor in his lack of development is the team around him and even more so the franchise...the bullets are just a cursed organization that brings everyone down with them
It's all about taking care of business against the bad teams. Last year the sixers couldn't do it, which led to shtein like getting blown out at home by the kings. If the sixers keep running these bad teams off the floor, they will win the Atlantic.
Also why couldn't the sixers have stayed at six, they would have ended up with Monroe...

Stop calling them the Bullets.
Sixers are the fourth team since 1954 to start season 5-0 at home and allow fewer than 90 pts in each game.
is it me or were they sleep walking through another double digit point win?
i mean seriously how putrid is dc
i just rewatched the game as i couldnt fullly follow it last night and what stood out is just how bad the bullets are...and is there anything prettier right now than a sweet lou running floater in the lane
sixers 9-3
knicks 6-6 3.0
celtics 4-7 4.5
raptors 4-9 5.5
nj nets 3-10 6.5
yeah i was talking about him last night...the last few years its been like "aww thats nice, sweet lou is getting some playing time" and now he's like a real man that can take over a game if he decides he wants to. granted i'm exaggerating but he looks so much better.
i don't want to get ahead of myself because yes they have been playing garbage but these guys are really good. even without a big basher type they are going to make a nice run, at least in the east.
if lou had another two inches inches and 20 pounds hed be a top ten player in the league...hes kobe without the frame
Fyi, Lou is 4th in hollingers per rankings for point guard, while jrue is 30th.
It's well documented that I can't stand Iguodala and despite what I'm about to write if they traded him tomorrow I'd say it was a great deal regardless of what they got for him.
The biggest difference between this season, last season, and especially the Eddie Jordan season is that Iguodala now plays as part of a team and not like a guy who thinks he can take over the game with his sloppy play. He plays within the confines of the offense and is part of the machine. He cut back on the errant drive to the lane and take a one legged off balanced jumpers. He doesn't mind swinging out to the wing or dishing the ball off. I attribute this to Collins (obviously) because if you listen to Iguodala during interviews now compared to when Jordan was the coach the difference is night and day.
he hasnt changed one bit....he was the best player on the team five years ago with limitations and hes the best player on the team now with the same limitations....you dont have to make up stuff about how hes somehow a different player now...just admit you overly hated on him
Nope...I still hate him and want him off the team. I hate his attitude. I don't question his athleticism and at times he plays like a very good (not elite) player. The main reason I couldn't stand him is because he played above the team...like the rules didn't apply to him. He didn't play within the system and never stepped up to the leadership role. The difference this season is he's actually playing like he's part of the team. Again, they release him tomorrow and I shed no tears. They're still 9-3 if he's not on the team. What I wrote was more of a testament to Doug Collins and his ability to sell team ball to Iguodala than it does to Iguodala as a basketball player.
he's pretty irrelevent. they can win or lose a game without him or with him in the lineup
But if they want to beat the best teams, they are going to need to iggys defense.
Quote from: Hawk on January 15, 2012, 08:17:14 PM

exactly...
defense is something that normal fans dont recognize or understand but its the foundation for a winning team in the nba and iguodala is a top defender...and not just a top defender but most nights he defends the other teams best player
yeah, he really did good work on Carmello when they needed him. his defense is so farging overrated it's not funny. yeah, he can shut down a mediocre to below average player. anybody with above average skill gets what they want.
Quote from: SunMo on January 15, 2012, 08:35:08 PM

he pretty much ate up carmelo....if you watched that game and thought he didnt then you just hate the guy no matter what he does
his defense this year has been top notch on everyone as it has been since half way thru his rookie year
Carmelo was 9-24 and of the 9 he hit a couple were just crazy shots that he would have hit if Anthony Toney had been draped all over him.

exactly...iguodala suffocated him the whole game...i could score 25 on 27 shots....
His defense has always been under appreciated but like I said earlier they're still 9-3 at this point if he's not on the team. The only part of him I like is his D because it shows that he's a little bit of an unselfish player. Still want him off the team.

i totally disagree with this but will you admit that you could take any player off the team and still say they would be 9-3 right now
No.
They take Jrue off this team I think they're in the 7-5 range. I think Hawes is more valuable than Iguodala. That has more to do with the position he plays than it does his skill. I'd still take Thad over Iguodala. Would like to see Turner get some more PT at the 3. Brand they should have amnestied.
Quote from: SD on January 15, 2012, 10:03:10 PM

lololol
i give up....you win
And of course you leave the rest of the quote off. You take Iguodala off the team ET or Thad steps in and they don't miss much of a beat. You take Hawes off the team his backup is Battie. That's huge. Hawes might average a double double this season. You just hate him because he's white.

iguodala is the best player on the team...thats not arguable...you wanna argue what their record would be if they didnt have him vs if they didnt have lou williams then im out as thats impossible....the bottom line is you have an unhealthy obsession with andre and no one is ever gonna change your mind
He's not the best player on the team.
im convinced
Quote from: ice grillin you on January 15, 2012, 10:23:10 PM
iguodala is the best player on the team...thats not arguable...
Jrue is the best player on the team. If you had to make a choice between the two players you can't honestly say you'd take Iguodala. And I'm not saying long term I'm talking next game you can either play with Jrue or Iguodala you know damn straight you're going with Jrue. Iguodala is replaceable, Jrue is not.
no id take jeru cause of his position and age but to think hes better than iguodala is just lunacy.....and im the biggest jeru fan ever
The only game this year I was pissed with iggy was the Portland game when Lou was unconscious and iggy forced a three. Iggy played great D on melo especially in the clutch. Iggy also now has national respect for his defense partially because of his world championship stint and will therefore get a lot more respect from the refs. If ET tried to make that successful strip of Melo late in the fourth, Melo would have got the call.
forget the refs....et doesnt have half the strength iguodala has
dooks is cut up and thats why he can body melo like a mother farger.....his strength is mad underrated
if he were good melo wouldnt have scored any points
and the sixers would have 300 nba titles by now
I dont know how you can just annoint Jrue the best player on the team. It seems to me like they all all work together. I will agree though that you take Jrue off of pg duties this team doesnt run as well, but Jrue is more of a jumpshooter than a true pg--not to mention Iggy has better stats than Jrue in almost every category--including 3 pt %.
Im all about trading Iguodala and getting some pieces because they have to to make a legit run...but will his effort and game be missed--no doubt. Its a shame because people really do underestimate what iguodala does all around on the floor. There is a legit argument to keep a guy like that. Thad Young is not the answer, ET is creeeping up.
My biggest problem with Iguodala (for the 100th time) is that he thinks or thought he was in the Lebron/Kobe/Carmelo class when really he wasn't close. He wouldn't play team ball and would instead try to take games over. It looks right now like Doug has remedied that. He's not taking sloppy off balanced shots and being selfish with the ball. He's actually making sound passes and swinging out to the wing to help other players. I was against his extension because he's a 3 and unless you're in the Kobe/Lebron elite player class what's the use of having a player like Andre who is replaceable? I wish he could have developed a better jump shot because it may have put him in that upper echelon of scorers. I'm not an ET fan by any stretch of the imagination but if he starts the season at the 3 they're still 9-3. Jrue is the team MVP regardless of what the stats say.
I hear ya on some of those circumstances as he was getting a little greedy, but he was trying to do too much because no one else could. do you remember how farging god awful jrue was last year in the 4th q? the turnovers and missed shots were crushers. How could iguodala not take the last shots...regardless if it went in or not? collins saw this as well.
now it looks like jrue and lou want that shot this year-- which is good because both look a hell of a lot more confident this year....and it looks like andre is ok with that rather than spaz out flailing his arms like a little bitch on the court.
why not an ET fan?
31 pt quarter and spencer hawes didnt score
has nic played meaningful minutes since his disastrous early 4th qtr run against the knicks?
tough talkin tony gettin his PT now.
how many farging layups is thad gonna miss today
They're playing like shtein, it's amazing they're up by 9
its absolutely amazing how much they have improved from three in just one offseason....a lot of it is the improved ball movement that is freeing up the looks but you still have to knock them down and that was something they couldnt do nine months ago

espn is such a joke...both yesterday and now again today they keep showing the highlite of igoudala heaving the ball full court and then highliting the clock that says 1:02 and saying that iguodala thought there was :02 left
in fact what happened was that he got fouled after blocking a shot and heaved the ball up trying to be in the act of shooting so he could get some free throws..todays anchor even said well see that later on in the week in not top plays

Such a joke. He tried to get the continuation foul.
jeru is eating ty lawson up on the defensive end thus far
gotta love the first unit getting out early after struggling so much this year....and it even includes vooch tonight
whew!...good thing vucevic told doug collins that there were no hard feelings about getting a dnp last game...
ha...no shtein
iggy's shot looks like shtein tonight
i like ET's game this year so far but i don't like his habit of looking for a foul everytime he goes to the rim.
second quarter was an absolute joke
what a goddawful end to the half. looked like zombies out there. Lawson basically got that rebound after it hit the floor because Holiday was just standing in place.
Clearly 3 steps there by nene.
Too many jump shots this game.
cause they arent forcing turnovers like they normally do so they have no transition offense
and when they are in the half court nene is owning the lane
good news is that denver seems like they are up by 16 not 6
bad news is there isnt even an inkling of a feeling the sixers can win the game
dont get me wrong denver is def a better team but the sixers miss hawes as without him nene is just dominating and can sit by the rim on defense...spencer would pull him out of there and closer to the high post were he in
that was just a pathetic sequence...evan turner misses a wide open seven footer...thad does i dont even know what...then they give up a layup at the other end
denver is just too good...this team is gonna have to prove that they can beat the better teams in the league and they simply havent done it yet...in fairness they really havent had a chance to
here we gooooooooooo

jesus christ i love this team so much
Not sure Iggy touched Miller there, but the Sixers have had some pretty favorable calls on the other end of the court too. Turner keeps getting better at finishing -- just needs to improve his shot.
Jrue Holiday...best player on the team...BAR NONE
you think Miller had this game circled?
theres just not a chance in hell he makes two here
Way to give up the baseline Iguodala
He gives up the game leading shot
Fouls Miller for no reason leading to a 3 point play
Takes a god awful jump shot late
Now he gets two at the line
They should have given the ball to Jrue for the final shot

i don't think iggy did
you people dont actually watch these games do you?...you cant and at the same time say the things you say
He's so bad at big free throws it's sickening. I immediately thought the exact same thing as you when he got fouled. Why the farg is Jodie Meeks on the floor and not Lou?
I'd rather have Shaq take free throws late in the game than I would Iguodala.
oh its no secret---iguodala is bar none the worst 4th q free throw shooter in the league
miller is unconscious
lol @ that being a foul on Turner.
thats was a block on nene...but can someone explain to me why evan turner had nene in space and decided to take off from the dots....why didnt he use his speed and agility advantage and take it past him to the hoop
best player on the team by far
oh and iguodala held the nuggets leading scorer to three pts tonight and was an assist away from a triple double but didnt show up
Jrue sucks...what a bum
still cant close out
in a roundabout way im glad for this since it gives them a better chance to win friday when me and sunny will be in the house
also i dont EVER criticize collins but what was he doing bringing lou off the bench after he had sat for most of the 4th quarter and OT and running the biggest play of the game for him
yea that one was mike dunleavy-like
the bottom line here is they arent quite ready yet to win these kinds of games. iguodala had some disgraceful moments sandwiched around another solid game.
jrue had a disgusting move to tie it in the 4th, then an idiotic rookie turnover to end it.
they need to be in these games and take the hits in order to eventually win them. i remember okc was in these spots two years ago and they lost most of them. now they win them. the shtein takes time people.

I definitely agree he's the best player on the team, but it's the same shtein every night with him. It's almost
always he has a good game and then fargs up when it matters most. I know the team wouldn't be here without him but it's so frustrating. He had had a hell of a game, but obviously misses a huge FT and took a horrible shot (or two?) in the last 1:30 or so.

also i dont EVER criticize collins but what was he doing bringing lou off the bench after he had sat for most of the 4th quarter and OT and running the biggest play of the game for him
Made no sense whatsoever.
iguodala clearly isnt the ideal guy to have the ball at the end of the game...but the problem is hes their best option...you saw what happened when they gave it to their point guard instead...jeru is a really nice player but his strong suit is not taking people off the dribble
at least with andre you have someone whos height gives them vision and the ability to shoot over someone and the strength to body the kind of defense you see in those situations...i honestly didnt think his jumper there was a terrible shot...it was a solid look (not great) and he missed cause hes not a good shooter....again i am not promoting him in that situation at all...all im saying is its easy to say give it to someone else.....but if you do the results arent going to be significantly different
the biggest issue with iguodala is that its to easy to foul him and let him try and beat you at the line...but again ill take two free throws from him over a contested jumper from jeru or lou...lou to me is the only end of game option and maybe on occasion he gets his man but in those situations everyone collapses and hes to small to finish there and if hes on the ball that means it cant be kicked out to him....so then you have lou kicking it to iguodala or some other guy who cant shoot
they are just in a tough situation at the end of games because they dont have any of the above: a) a world class finisher b) a guy who can at any time take someone off the dribble and break down the defense c) a top notch shooter who the ball can be kicked to....even having one of those three would make a world of difference and almost all good teams have at least one or two....the sixers dont have ANY of em
its so frustrating because what makes them so easy to watch and a good team...depth...spreading the ball around...teamwork...is also what makes them so bad at the end of games
andre miller shtein on iguodala in the 4th quarter and overtime and you're pimping him...awesome
I'd say that they should give the ball to Turner but he gets no respect from the,line.

igy is the iggy of this board. Regardless of how iggy plays he'll tout the "people who know basketball know how good he is" theme to stick up for his boy.
hes not my boy....i dont even like him....i just dont hate him...and i am able to see him for what he is
and you are not watching the games if your answer to everything is the same because you hate a player
thats the problem with internet boards....people make outlandish statements and because they are saved on a server forever they think they have to stick to them no matter what...and so instead of watching games they wait for that one play where they can say i told you so
the fact that 90% of the people in this country dont understand the game of basketball is a whole other topic having nothing to do with irrational claims
all that being said, tell me that iguodala played good defense last night in the 4th quarter. when old man miller takes you off the dribble multiple times, you are not an elite defender
he never took him off the dribble once
he hit a 28 foot three pointer
a step back 17 footer
and one super tough drive on the little runner where iguodala was all over him but miller made a ridiculous shot...you wanna say he should have blocked it fine...but to call it bad defense is just wrong
plus there was the jumper he made with 30 seconds left where he completely lost turner
miller had 44 minutes to get in his groove and then iguodala got switched on him....it a tough thing to do to step in like that against a guy who is already on fire and is a savvy veteran....did miller get his man against iguodala a couple times sure...shtein happens...guy was on fire...but to use that as some sort of mandate against iguodalas as a player or a defender is one of the most hatetastic short sighted things ive ever heard....especially in the same game where the nuggets leading scorer could only get three shots off against andre...
name me a defender in the nba who has never been scored on before...and even if you could that doesnt make iguodala a bad defender...hes a top 10 defender in the nba and one of the two or three best defensive forwards...call that great elite very good average zesty or whatever description you want...but its a fact
like someone here said the other day...he isnt a finalist for the best team in the world because of his clutch free throws or his sweet jumper
theres lots of things to criticze in his game....defense is last on that list....if you hate the guy im not sure why you would go there with him
http://www.nba.com/video/highlights/
right around the 1:25 mark is the drive i was talking about. he did that twice. once as shown and once on the baseline.

how can someone who couldnt hold a basketball over his head for 10 seconds without passing out tell people how little they know about the game?

This team is a complete fraud. Even if they make the playoffs, Mike Vick would have a better shot beating a rap on under cover philly then these jokers would have at winning more then 1 game in a series.
Frauds a strong word, I doubt anyone had them going to the finals. Best case scenario is 1st place and winning a round in the playoffs. They're not looking to hot tonight.
I got to laugh at the people who turned on the game because they are in first place calling them a fraud. If you've watched this team you know they start off slow.

put your predictions down now...how does iggy play lebron
igy already told me today that iggy will hold lebron in check, under 15 points
i say lebron goes off in wade's absence, 30+
lebron is better at scoring than anyone in the world is better at defending, so if he really wants 30, hes gonna get it.
the thing is how many shots does it take him to get the 30.

What Iguodala gives the Sixers is a player who can keep a guy like Lebron in check. 'In check' means he'll keep him from going crazy and do a good enough job on him one on one so that he doesn't single handedly take over the game and beat them. Collins doesn't have to worry about doubling up Lebron and leaving someone else open. You rarely if ever see someone rush to Iguodala's side to keep a player in check. That's part of what makes him such a good defender. If Lebron puts 30 up tonight so be it, he's going to get that anyway. At least the Sixers won't have to worry about a forward leaving the post or a guard leaving an outside shot open because they're too worried about defending Lebron. Star players usually get double teams during different parts of the game to throw off their rhythm.
With that being said I say he drops 28 tonight.
I think the Sixers play sluggish tonight and Lebron gets his first triple double of the season.
it would be really cool for someone to put even one finger up in bosh's face...just one.
Lebron will get 21.
Vucevic continues to impress. Such a better option than Battie at Center.
turner taking it right at battier tonight--playing with some great control
Why was Turner on the bench the entire third quarter...
yeah that made no sense with the half he had--he was leading the team in scoring
but that boy just got abused by James 3 times in a row

watching layoy allen try and defend the pick and roll on bosh was the highlight of my night
lol @ temple
gotta give credit to igy because friday night we were talking about this game and he said what lebron does is irrelevent and that bosh is going to be the issue.
the only guy they have who can come close to defending him is thad
Vucevic said he heard something pop when he got injured.
Probably why they worked out Francisco Elson today.
iguodala has seven dimes and its still the 1st Q
Wizards just played Boston tough and the sixers are waxing them. Sixers are running away with the Atlantic.
nba transitive property doesnt exactly work like that
sixers playing as good a half as you possibly can...their ball movement has been off the charts.....18 assists on 24 fg's
I saw you had the most recent post in this thread and bet myself a dollar it included "bullets" - looks like I lost, but also won.

Winning the Atlantic works like that. Beat the bad teams and split the games with the good teams, and the Sixers run away with the division. Bostons old team is going to have to rest starters constantly, and Andre Millers half court three just expediated the knicks free fall.
they may very well win the atlantic but it wont be because of or have anything to do with the bullets playing the celtics tough on january 22nd
the WIZARDS are trying less than joe paterno did to stop a child toucher
It has to do with the fact that the sixers blow out bad teams while the knicks and Celtics struggle with them.

More farging injuries.
And that's why people don't like iggy. Nice take jack ass.

sarcasm?
no its exactly what he said
he obviously meant that he was wide open so it was a good decision to shoot...not that he was saying a brick was good...but still it was amazing...the sixers designated three point shooter has a look from three with no defensive player within ten feet of him he bricks it and its a "good shot"
genius
but besides what he meant...saying good shot just after a guy throws up a complete brick doesnt sound good
He said the same thing on the Lou Will 3 point shot during the game vs. the Nuggets. Lou had a great look but it obviously wasn't a great shot because it didn't drop and they lost.
That was a filthy steal by Jrue
jodi meeks and lavoy allen should never ever have 10 attempts btwn them in a half
the next time i wanna see spencer hawes is when hes in an actual game

Wonder if they'd take Brand (expiring contract after this season) and a player or pick. Or Iguodala would do, they could then slide ET to the 3 full time. I doubt it ever happens because I can't see the Knicks trading him here but I like the speculation.
ive watched the knicks a lot this year and imo stoudmire isnt to far away from being elton brand...dont get me wrong he def more talented but his legs have digressed to the point where hes headed to the place brand is in terms of explosion and athleticism...i think youll see in the not too distant future amare taking a whole lot of elbow jumpers versus getting at people around the rim
I don't want any parts of Stoudmire, like you said he is not too far from being Elton Brand and he has a monster contract.
I didn't realize Stoudemire was turning 30 this year. PASS
They rid themselves of Webber only to pick up Webber light in Brand now they're ridding themselves of that contract soon so lets not repeat this endless cycle of overpaying low post players who are well past their prime.

Exactly. He's cooked.

stoudemire would not take getting demoted from ny to philly well.

nothing to see here. They dont have interest in his contract or his knees. i dont think they do anything at all til offseason. maybe something small for the speights exception...small if anything.
the plan is to wait until the off season and use cap space to try and get a star big man(nocioni and hawes walk and brand amnestied). they will not amnesty brand unless they have a done deal to bring someone else in.
That dudes info is usually spot on. No way the sixers want any part of that uninsured contract.

This. Not to mention, but with a compact season and less days off, Amare's minutes need to be monitored closely just to make sure that he's able to walk come playoff time. .
how off is dwight howard going to go tonight
a twenty twenty evening is a distinct possibility
he better need a permanent ice bath for his arms after the game....sixers need to chop the farg out of him i dont care if they foul out the bench down to craig brackins...if tony battie doesnt have six fouls by the 4th quarter something is wrong
no jameer tonight which helps...altho i wish some of these teams were at full strength when they play the sixers
Teams that let Dwight get his numbers are usually very successful against the magic. Jameer has been dreadful this year, I'm more worried about Ryan Anderson going off if the sixers decide to double down.

so funny at the end of the game as they were leaving the court evan turner looked at collins and was waiting for the normal hug or shoulder squeeze and instead collins looked right at him then scowled "that was farging bullshtein"...then csn switches to the hallway camera to the locker room and you see turner angrily fling like three towels to the ground
DC was pretty fired up even when the lead dropped from 19 to 11 or 12. it's like he could feel it happening.
isn't the big knock against collins that his players usually start hating him after year 2 or 3? hopefully that's not going to be the case here.

statement game tonight....hopefully they show better than they did in miami....sounds like that cream puff hawes is out again...
they really could use him on the boards tonight as the key to this game is going to be the glass..specifically the offensive glass...the bulls are ridiculopus at hitting the offensive boards and if the sixers can keep that number respectable they have a shot
and it doesnt help that Noah is on fire right now
vucevic has a chance to play tonight which should help to the slightest degree but its a degree.
unless they shoot the lights out i dont see how they win this game
chicagos size will be too much
yup, chicago is going to have so many second shots its not going to be funny.
Not true. It'll be kind of funny.
rip is out
noah and deng game time decisions
Damn, Sixers are catching some serious breaks with opponent injuries. Even if they play, the fact that Noah and Deng are gtd obviously means they aren't quite right. How many teams have they played so far this year that were at full strength or at least weren't missing a main cog? The opener?
theyve played lots of teams at full strength....just not many good ones
theyve only beaten two teams the whole year that currently have an over .500 record and none at full strength
orlando without jameer
atlanta without horford
to be fair they havent had the creampuff for 7-8 games
deng is out and havent heard anything about Noah being a game time decision
if noah and deng are both out then sixers win. i don't think rip being out makes a difference.

Lavoy Allen is having a very good game. I thought of him as a throw away pick, but he keeps earning more minutes.
He's had a decent stretch of games since he's been getting minutes with Hawes and Vucevic out. Not saying the guy is anything special but he can play a little.
Sixers be good
granted they didnt have deng or rip
and granted rose sat for the entire 4th qtr
but my god i love this team
Nice win - i love the fact that they're so deep. I mean Lavoy Allen is contributing...they don't have that stud go to guy but to have so many who can do a lot is a beautiful thing. I love team basketball versus one star dominating the game
Where can I find the points for/against broken down by quarter?
It seems like their defense comes out in lockdown mode in the third.

vooch has been healthy for two games...first game back they may have been being cautious but two games back and he still isnt playing tells me lavoy has taken his minutes...as long as lavoy continues to knock down the 12 footers hes gonna have the advantage because of his ability to bang with people and hold his position on the floor...all vooch can really do at this point is shoot...doesnt give you much else
matchups against the quicker smaller teams may dictate playing vooch some moore but it seems like lavoy has passed him
as for last night....jeru was unbelievable on rose and it changed the whole game...because the sixers dont have anyone that can guard the basket i was scared to death of rose finishing at the rim all night long...against front lines that can play defense he usually has 6-7 layups a game...last night he had all kinds of trouble getting there and it was because of jeru making him go where he didnt want....jesus it was a great performance
That was one of the more fun basketball games I have watched in recent memory. How quick they were passing the ball was amazing. I know they were missing players but the sixers are also without Hawes.
apples and oranges. missing rip and deng are far worse losses than just missing hawes
youre talking about losing up to 35 pts of your offense. we know the sixers have stellar defense against anyone, but that game was not a good barometer
they missed their defense more than the pts....sixers would not have been running all over the court like they were with those two playing...especially deng who is an excellent defender...iguodala probably has 9 not 19 if deng is guarding him

He's not healthy which is why he's not on the floor. He's there in case of an emergency. Zumoff mentioned the same thing against Orlando the other night. He said Doug wouldn't use him unless something drastic happened. Vucevic was playing really well before he was injured so I'm not sure why you'd think they'd sit him in favor of Lavoy and Battie.
And boo friggen hoo with the Bulls injuries. Maybe missing Deng and Rip restricted what they could do on both ends of the court but bottom line is you line up with what you've got and put your best foot forward.
It's funny when another team has injuries it's an excuse why they lost but when a Philly team has injuries - such as the Flyers who have 5 starters out with concussions - it's just because they blow.
i dont think anybody is really crying just being realistic. if you are going to use this game as a measuring tool for how well they are going to do in the playoffs this was not that time. thats all.
sixers had all their scorers bulls had one. i mean kyle korver led the team in minutes on the floor. kyle korver.

sixers had all their scorers bulls had one. i mean kyle korver led the team in minutes on the floor. kyle korver.
I'm going to use Fridays game as the measuring stick. I still think they only win a series maybe two depending on the match up. The thing that seperates them from other teams is their depth. The thing that seperates other teams from them is they have legit superstars. Regardless, they're fun to watch and it's nice to look at the standings and see a decent sized lead between Boston and NY.
does iggy make the all star team this year? i say yes.

does iggy make the all star team this year? i say yes.
I hate him but I agree. Aside from his usual late game lapses he's been solid
I say no because he will have to get voted over Pierce, Bosh and Amare and we know that wont happen
his shot selection has improved but his numbers are on par with his career with the exception of FT's (way down) and 3-pt % (way up)
so no he shouldnt make it as hes essentially the same player youve seen for the past eight years...and hes much less of a player as it applies to the all star game when you factor in his ppg and that he had a couple seasons when he was sniffing 20ppg
i agree i don't think he's far and away better than normal, i just can't see the sixers getting to the AS break in the 1-3 position, and somewhat being the new "in" team, without having an all-star.
that def helps...i think if he makes it tho it will be mostly because of his defense...not to play it in the all star game of course but because the coach who picks him will be rewarding him for that...doesnt hurt that hes a good dunker and would provide some highlites when hes allowed to run free down the wing in an all star game
also who knows maybe DC will be the east coach and pick him
His overall quality of play is better this season, he's more of a cog in the machine than he is a guy who thinks he can put the team on his shouldes and win every night. That's the big difference between his play this season and last season. I credit most of this to Doug. I'm glad he's not playing the point forward position as much.
in the last three games lavoy allen has played 67 minutes
in those minutes the sixers are +49
in the 77 minutes he hasnt played they are -7
Greg Anthony said on NBATV last night that this team reminds him of the Pistons who won the championship in 03. Not in the sense that the Sixers have a chance to win it all, but that you can't unanimously named their best player and they all make each other better.
I don't care if the lockout is the reason why they're better, the shortened schedule, whatever - Sixers basketball is once again must-see TV.

they dont need a post player....the days are gone where you needed a big man in the post to win...i sound like a broken record but they need antonio davis...a smash mouth four that can defend the rim and gobble rebounds
they also need a shooter
big picture the sixers arent far away from being the pistons team that won it all in 03 but they dont have anything close to that ben wallace type presence inside
kenyon martin is available.
normally i'd say yes to a veteran who can defend, pound in the paint and plays with a mean streak. i don't want them messing with the lineup right now though.
plus those lips he has tatted on his neck might be the worst ink in the league
ha, he turned that into a crown a year or two ago.
forgot about that...or maybe its that kenyon plays once every 8 months, so I never even knew..
camby and his awful japanese lettering are safe
2 things going for Martin on his last leg---hes got a home in LA and the Clips want to scoop him for depth
Quote from: reese125 on February 02, 2012, 09:13:04 AM
apples and oranges. missing rip and deng are far worse losses than just missing hawes
youre talking about losing up to 35 pts of your offense. we know the sixers have stellar defense against anyone, but that game was not a good barometer
I am not saying it didn't hurt them, but the Sixers are without a guy that averages 10pts. almost 2 blocks and 9 boards a game. That is significant production to lose as well.
Bottom line they beat a good team last night.

This is why they aren't that Pistons team. I get the comparison but Billups had ice water in his veins and Wallace was probably the best interior defender in basketball at that time.
not to mention Rip Hamilton was off the charts quick, ran around the entire game non-stop and rarely missed his little shot from the elbow off the screen.
the 2 you mentioned, plus Rip and tack on Ben Wallace I dont see the player or style comparisons.
are you saying that 03 Rip > 12 Meeks?
absolutely not

jesus the sixers are wasting so many early opportunities that are going to come back and haunt them
Really love the defensive effort thus far. How mad are the iggy haters going to be when he makes the all star game...
gorgeous move by thadeus
welcome to the nba lavoy
lou is an ice cube right now
i dont care if his shot is off they have more than enough people to pick him up offensively but he needs to play at least a modicum of defense...leaving norris cole on that three was inexcusable...hes so bad defensively
sixers need some easy buckets
there you go lou...they are struggling in the half court...they need to push after heat misses and obviously force turnovers that lead to pts
The half court offense misses Spencer.
Quote from: Hawk on February 03, 2012, 07:52:02 PM
The half court offense misses Spencer.
the half court offense misses playing washington and detroit
cant believe the sixers had the lead....i swear the feel of this game has the heat up 8 or 9 right now...and they probably will at half
A lot of body on that block
I love thads hustle.
Quote from: Hawk on February 03, 2012, 07:56:17 PM

its incredible to me how five + years in the league people still forget thad is left handed...so many times you still see people sitting on his wrong shoulder before he goes up
quickest half ever
this is one of those games that no matter what happens how many mini runs they make or how close they get you know the sixers have absolutely no chance to win the game
lockdown 3rd quarter coming up. sixers win quarter 23-16
i hate to even say it because d wade will probably go off once i do but jodi meeks has actually done a solid job on him in the halfcourt
elton brand looks a thousand years old out there
before that bucket meeks had more pts than jeru brand and turner combined
Do iggy haters watch him on the defensive end...
the king wants no part of iguodala right now
dooks had 24 in the first quarter last game and has nine tonight
Tonight is a great example why people don't like the NBA, you have the Heat with a bunch of superstars which the league heavily promotes and favors...and if that's not bad enough the refs treat even the role players on their team like they're friggen superstars.
its about time he starts playing up to his reputation
brand now has -2 points tonight
lol at that forearm shiver
that was farging sick
the inspector general is in the HOUSE!!!!!!!!

He always has... The flow chart from last year showed what iggy did to opposing players
he was joking dick
rewind th last two heat possesions...that gets stuck on lebron and boom two pts...next time down iguodala back on him and he gives up the ball
that was a perfect example of what i was saying the other day about the difference btwn the heat and the sixers...pure strength...lebron tossed thad like a rag doll
they refuse to call a foul on lebron, it's sickening
way too late
ummmm no evan turner you dont fly out on the court giggling like a school girl when the shot doesnt count
farging nerd
game over....heat will be up 15 at the six minute mark
haha lou
heat are shooting 50% from the field...60% from three....are outrebounding the sixers and only have five turnovers
yet they dont even have 80 pts and are only up 8
really weird lines
lou has been farging brutal

they literally cannot run their halfcourt ofense against miami...havent been able to for a couple years...the heat are way to strong...classic men vs boys scenario
they really miss having a lead guard who can break people down...against the heat having seven good players isnt a enough...you need a couple really good to great ones
et needed to rip wade off the farging rim there.
farg the Heat
More Wizards please.
just watched 2nd half on dvr
hung with them in every sense of the manner through 3. the early stretch in the 3rd when the heat couldnt buy a bucket really did them in. sixers i think wound up +4 in that stretch of about 6 minutes or so. needed to really take advantage there and they were just as inept offensively.
then you get to the 4th and its a simple of matter of the sixers having no one who can even remotely match james or wade for points, and thats that.
we knew it 3 months ago that they couldnt beat this team and its just tough to watch because they aint that far off but yet so far away.
Hawes will be back tonight, and so will the half court offense. Sixers win by 20.
they have zero energy...i think they thought they were a real player in the league and getting ripped last night literally took every ounce of positive air out of them and they went from thinking they we up there with the heat and bulls to now if we lose tonight we arent even ahead of the friggin hawks
The team is a notorious slow starter. Not sure if serious.
skeletor is sitting behind the sixers bench
Voosh with the nice post move.
Threeecola
the sixers scored 28 pts in the last eight minutes of the second quarter

nope
iguodala did his usual lockdown of the other teams top scorer neutralizing joe johnson but unsung hero tonight was thads defense on josh smith...giving up size to him he had really hands and made everything difficult for j smith
i thought they looked shell shocked because they lost to miami and realized they arent a top team
what is happening. the wire. sideways. white people.
they beat a team who is even less of a challenger to miami than they are.....be proud homer
im begging you right now please dont be to the sixers like you are to the phillies...i know basketball is foriegn to you and baseball i think is your favorite sport so i dont think thats where you are headed but if you are even thinking about it just stop

How was Jrue the vanilla pick? Collison, Maynor, or Lawson would have been the Vanilla pick. Before the season, Jrue was a top 5 projected pick, who fell because he didn't play particularly well next to Collison. Jrue obviously had the highest ceiling of the point guards left, so he's actually the opposite of vanilla.
Under Tony Dileo, the Sixers have drafted well. Thad Young, Lou Williams and Korver in the 2nd round, Jrue Holiday, Iguodala, etc. The only two misses were Rodney Carney (in a zesty draft) and taking Speights over the center crop that included Hibbert, McGee, and Jordan.
As for MDS, if we're talking Friday Night Lights, I'd consider myself Matt Cerasain. I dated the coach's hot daughter, Julie Taylor, then made her jealous with the hot cheerleader, then farged the hot Latina nurse, only to settle down with the older, more attractive Julie Taylor. MDS, I'd say that you are Buddy JR. A member of the special teams who injured himself doing the Samoan War Dance. As for IGY, he's the assistant coach who works at Sears that secretly frequents the Dillon gay bar.
*** I just watched all 5 seasons of Friday Nights with my girl. Speaking of which MDS, she's Jewish and her parents hate me, so maybe you can teach me some Hebrew so I can win them over.

The Puerto Rican basketball league is in talks to sign Allen Iverson for their upcoming season.
Iverson could make as much as $20,000 a month plus living expenses by playing in Puerto Rico.
That's pocket change compared to what he made in the NBA but I suspect it's more than what he makes now. Besides, there's worse jobs in the world than playing hoops in PR and having all of your living expenses paid for.
the lakers bandwagon has to be the most disgusting thing in sports, and that include the cowboys'
Bandwagon laker fans in full force.
Bynam already has 4 boards and the Lakers in general have controlled the boards. Gotta clean that up.
Sweet Lou
First game I've seen since the free preview of League Pass ended but the difference in the play from the 1st week or so of the season and now is insane. Not even through the 1st qtr yet but the team play on both sides of the ball is great. Especially the rotations on defense.....these guys are farging fast on their rotations.
Kobe doing work. He might pass Shaq on the all time scoring list by half time.
Of course Kobe is going off...
kobe's shots are 100% contested and he's knocking them down in people's faces. ridiculous right now.
Little disappointed in the fans at the game, he needed to hear boo's instead there were cheers. farg Kobe.
How are the Sixers only down by 4, the Lakers are hitting everything and killing it on the boards.

He's hitting from every where. He took a 3 from about 4ft behind the arc with Iggy right in his face and just drained it.
reminds me too much of heat game
sixers miraculously hanging around even though they are getting significantly out played.
Plus Kobe's physique is so manly, I don't know how the Sixers can contend with that.
that goes without saying
drew bynum is ripped. obviously been spending some time the gym, among other things giggle giggle
Jrue all over the place, Hawes gets hacked and nothing.
queue sixers inability to score in the 4th against good teams.
Why is vucevich getting so much time? He's been awful. Thier interior defense is pathetic.
need a "wanna get away" commercial for iggy at the FT line in the 4th.
The Lakers keep running the same play and the Sixers don't adjust.

Kobe started off the game something like 8-12 and then went 1-11 before he made that little double clutch shot in the paint.
he approaching as many shots as pts...i think its 26-28 right now
for as good as dre's D has been on kobe in the 4th his free throw shooting has been worse
Probably won't matter at this point, but damn Iggy....hit them ft's.
Very good win against a good team that wasn't missing any key players. I guess you could be a negadelphian and say that the Lakers suck ass on the road this year, but that would warrant a punch in the dick.
pretty sure 4-1 so far on this stretch vs ORL/CHI/MIA/ATL/LAL is acceptable.
Still don't know how they won that game considering they were getting crushed on the boards and the Lakers shot well. farg LA. I hope the fans that were in attendance go to Geno's afterwards and are beaten senseless.
that was fun.

Sixers bench: 49 pts. Lakers bench: 16 pts.
Sixers fast break: 11 pts. Lakers fast break: 2pts.

Are you going to deny the half court offense isn't better with Hawes... The numbers don't lie and neither do the observations from my own eyes...
Hawes is a skilled big man who makes the half court offense much more fluid. He was rebounding at a good clip before the injury and blocking two shots a game.
Obviously he can't play with Voosh because they aren't physical enough. What other preferable options at Center are available?
i never said it was better or worse witth him in their...just laughing at you pumping up hawes return in his first game back from injury and then in the second game back when he gets raped you bring up the fact that hes only two games back from injury
hopfully he wont be back next year and we wont have to talk about the creampuff anymore unless its about him giving some solid minutes off the bench
i was thinking in bed last night when the last time i watched a more satisfying sporting event....and i came up with pimps meadowlands miracle...four hundred eleven days ago
i've been to a few gtown games this year with big late game comebacks which were just as good for me, but as for philly sports i agree.
and lou has come through in the fourth with some clutch shots a few times this year now, last few years it's always been iggy bricking a three at the end but they are actively running plays for lou now in the last seconds. if he keeps making those shots thats going to be huge come playoff time.
we all knew that they were going to get tossed around in the paint but if they can give up all those rebounds to bynum and gasol and still win, i have even more faith.
the hidden benefit of iguodalas horrid free throw shooting this year is lou getting his chance at the end of games...if iguodala is still at 75% and not 60 he still has the ball in his hands to close
lou will never be a consistent killer at the end of games because hes too small but hes certainly a better option than iguodala
i find it amazing that lou is only 25. i feel like he's been on the team for ten years.
the stat line again last night was crazy spread out, other than lou's 24 it's like 8-9 guys on the team had the same exact numbers.
you wanna see a crazy number
the difference btwn the sixers leading scorer and their EIGHTH leading scorer is only 6.3 pts
Im in awe sometimes watching Lou throw up that floater because that's hands down one of the toughest shots to make.
He's been doing it on a consistent basis.
Hawes doubtful again Wednesday. Back for a MRI.
Malik is extra bad tonight. everytime he talks about a spur it starts with "when i was talking to timmy last night..."

oh. well.
Yeah. Not to play the moral victory card, but it's not like they got trucked in either game.
I don't really care for moral victories any more because this team has raised expectations to be as good as the best teams in this leagues except for Miami.
Paul hit a great contested shot so you can't be mad at that. I'm pissed about the last play and the fact that they missed a bunch or free throws again in a close game.

A fool and his bling are soon parted.
good start
whoops
2 points in 7+ minutes. awesome.
Sixers 3rd qtr = same number of turnovers as points. Awesome.
one of the worst 2nd halves i've ever seen. 19 points so far in 21 minutes.
not ready for primetime
Yep. Not ready. Nice turd they laid there in the third quarter. Jrue is Jrunk. 1-17 the past two nights.
lol why do the timberwolves play the godfather theme music after some baskets or is it just when pekovic scores...either way its dope
its just when he scores
hes from montenegro, which doesnt have much relation to the italian mafia
wow total screwjob
bullshtein reach in on iggy...on top of that the foul was called with around .8 to .5 left and they didnt even go to the tape to put time back on.
disgraceful
What a farging hose job...all farging ball.
they dont deserve any calls when they give up 40 pts to ricky rubio and jj barrera....how is it that they still dont know how to defend barrera....
if youve noticed they do fairly well against straight up first step fast guys like derrick rose.....but get killed by the stop and go quickness guys like tony parker andre miller barrera ect....
i cant even imagine what linsanity is going to do to them
rubio was in a massive shooting slump too, but once again the sixers always find a way to give up a career best stat to the opposing teams player--shtein never fails.
career (although 1st year) high in points for rubio, which is sad when the sixers are top 5 in defense.
i only saw the first half last night but that little spaniard has some crazy court vision.
no doubt--fun to watch. true pg.
i even have him on my fantasy squad which makes me watch all the wolves game even more.
some numbers....decide for yourself if they matter or not...
the 20 teams the sixers have beaten are currently 251-384 - .395
the 14 teams they have lost to 226-163 - .581
6-8 against teams that are currently over .500
14-4 against teams that are currently under .500
Just a bunch of numbers.
We know the deal with this team and what they need to be big time.
their record is worse against good teams than bad teams.
i did some further research in my brain and figured out that this happens to all teams in all sports. hence some records are good and some are bad.

not exactly.....really bad teams are bad against all teams and really good teams are good against all teams
its the teams you are not sure of where the splits mean something...sixers are just that kind of team...for example they are the only first place team that isnt over 500 vs teams that are over 500...
also only two teams have played more games against sub 500 teams
and their splits are actually rather favorable as you would have expected their record against good teams to be much lower and their record against bad teams to be around 600+ as their schedule was incredible easy early
6-8 against teams over .500 is not terrible for them
their problem is still close games...i dont believe they have won a game decided by 3 or less this year...while they are good front runners having the third most wins in the nba in games decided by 10 or more....of course schedule has something to do with this as well
They're beating teams they should and occasionally losing to teams they shouldnt.
Not exactly man bites dog type revelations here.

that would invoke the 25% rule and couldnt be done
but if you are saying hypothetically sure id do it....can you imagine upgrading from cream puff to gasol
in the real world youd have to include lou/thad or someone else that would make it work....altho i dont think thad can be traded until after the season since he just signed a deal
In a blink of an eye I bang that trade out for Gasol.
I'm still trying to figure out why Jrue has regressed so far this year.
I heard he has a jrinking problem.
He's the best defensive pg according to synergy metrics.
this grizzlies color guy is the worst human being on the face of the earth
Quote from: Hawk on February 21, 2012, 07:32:37 PM
He's the best defensive pg according to synergy metrics.
hes been top notch defensively since he came into the league....which is almost unheard of....problem is hes very limited offensively and doesnt have the skill set to run an nba offense
I wasn't expecting the decline in numbers, especially the assists. As a young developing pg getting those kind of minutes that stat should increase as each year then top off.
He doesn't know if he should be aggressive and drive or shoot it. Even when he does drive there's a lack of desire to pass. He'd rather go body against a big and hopes it goes in.
Might be looking at trade bait.
his problem is he doesnt have an exceptionally strong handle nor is he a great shooter nor does he have good vision...
hes just solid across the board...a quintessential very good back up pg
I saw Reuben Frank mention that Iggy hasn't made a basket in the 4th quarter in the last six games.
Is that right?!
screams all star doesn't it
people yelled at him not to shoot late in games and hes listening
In actuallity, what they were screaming for was for him to stop jacking up 3's in the final 2 minutes of close games. No one really cares what he does with 10 min left.
ok serious steve
:boo
Crappy

I love Thads hustle but he shouldn't be in crunch time. His hustle turns into out of control retardedness leading to turnover and fouls. Voosh was getting his against Scola but I guess Doug would rather see Lous floaters. Turner should get a start at the point following the all star break so we can see what he's got... Drafting him over Cousins will haunt this franchise.

easy ass win over detroit, which is beyond awful
i feel like you people have given up on them or are just very white and dont like the nba
nobody has given up just realize where the team is compared to the rest of the league
I more upset with the fact this team has no point guard
i still love these guys but yeah the last two weeks haven't been a huge surprise. that gap between miami and the rest of the east is huge.
tonight is going to be amazingly fun to watch or be over by the second quarter.
i actually think they will hang for most of the game but never at any point will you think they can win and okc could go jump to horn without ever trailing
lol elton on the break away
The Thunder are killing them with the offensive boards. Luckily they turn the ball over so much that it's keeping the Sixers in the game. The refs suck tonight.
i'd be surprised if the thunder have had less than 63 going into the 4th this year. hopefully its lou time soon.
I forgot that the NBA gives another free week of league pass after the AS Break. Sixers have been pretty dominant in the 2nd half and should probably be up by 20. Sloppy on offense at times and a few terrible calls. The Ivey steal on the inbound was inexcusable.
offense is always awful late in the 4th against good teams
Love Lou Will but he's been awful tonight
between thad taking blindfolded 360 hook shots, elton not being able to take one more step to catch a pass and every other pass being off, this is one of the worst 3-4 minutes i've seen from these guys all year.
so frustrating.
Blocking out is not important.
They needed someone in the paint to knock Westbrook around a little. He had free reign all night.
that igy breakdown on the westbrook was lolstastic
softass team aint got the goods
until they get someone that can break down a defense there is no point in even watching this team anymore...its such a shame too because btwn iguodala and jeru they have two of the best on the ball defenders at their position in the entire league...but they just cant finish because their best scorer is an undersized 6th man
is anyone else getting sick and tired of watching thad young on the defensive end of the court...dood is an athletic long 6-8...he should be regularly be getting 7-8 boards a game on this team...its not like they have anyone else eating up the glass...but hes soft and disinterested when it come to pulling boards...his offensive shortcomings are well known and hes limited on that end of the court as to what he can ever be...and im fine with that as long as you farging guard at the other end and he should be way better than he is
so we can put the champion detroit pistons comparisons to rest now? cool.
no the comparisons are there...but it was always IF they get that antonio davis type PF/C and either a good shooting two or a guy than can breakdown a defense
you didnt think they were those pistons with this current roster...did you?
i never did.
how are the comparisons there when you need all 3 type players? half of the nba are in comparison with the pistons then.
that was the most unbelievable non call ive ever seen
iguodala has been ridiculous on monte ellis in the second half....ellis was lighting up jeru in the first half....doug makes the half time adjustment putting iguodala on him and monte goes away...what makes it especially impressive besides the fact he completely neutralized a flaming hot player which is not easy to do...is that hes guarding a much quicker man and is still locking him down
It was a mirage!! We all know Iggy is not an elite defender.
Quote from: PhillyPhreak54 on March 02, 2012, 11:00:01 PM

im not saying i wouldnt trade him cause i would in the right deal....but it kills me when people say trade him for a box of donut holes...doesnt matter just get rid of him....
i know the normal fan cant see defense like they can see a three pointer or a drive to the basket so they dont know what iguodala brings to the table...but for god sakes can you imagine lou williams or evan turner trying to guard the people that iguodala locks down on a regular basis...their opponents points per game would go up by like five if he wasnt on the team
remember the time he gave up a jumper to carmelo?
HE SUCKS
soooooooooooo overrated
correct if im wrong but theyve lost 2 games to bad teams (nets, twolves)
and the nets was OT and the twolves was bullshtein
even though they cant beat good teams this is fairly impressive

Those are the only two losses to non-playoff teams from my recollection. Sixers lost to the Nets cause Deron Williams exploited Meeks on the defensive switches late in the game, and the Wolves relied on that ridiculous Iggy reach-in foul, as well as Rubio's only good shooting night in like the last month.

lol...when i said overrated i was mocking the people who hate on iguodalas defense (:sunnybatsignal)...not the team
but since you brought it up...there is nothing remotely impressive about what they have done this year...especially beating a bunch of zesty teams
that was an unrelated comment to the igy stuff. im fine with igy, i get what he brings defensively, especially since this team isnt gonna light up the world on offense they need to limit the amount of points as much as they can
and also it is kinda impressive. its the first sign that they may have something in that they dont take nights off and beat who they are supposed to beat. 2 years ago they were iffy to beat the warriors, now they crush them. that has to be better than being bad?
I think most basketball fans realize that he is a great defender. They might not realize the importance of it.
The reason most wanted him trade myself included is because his act had gotten stale. He was acting like a superstar even though he isn't.
I haven't seen a lot of games this year but the few I have, Iggy seems to have toned it down a bit with the "superstar" attitude. Either he's realized he's not all that or Collins has really gotten in his ass about it and he's buying into the system. Or maybe I'm just catching the wrong games. Still, I'd love to see them be able to keep him while adding a legit scorer to the mix.
superstar attitudes dont look to pass before they shoot...which is something hes done basically his whole career
he's a good defender, he's not great. pippen was great, gary payton was great. iguodala is good. maybe when carmelo isn't dropping 27 in his face we can start to think about him being great
hes def as good a defender as those guys...hes just not a hof type player in other areas like them
and lol at citing carmelo against him...he handles carmelo everytime they play...dook shot like 9-26 against him
if watching him isnt evidence enough....think about this....would a player of his low stature even sniff the olympic team if he wasnt a great defender?
They should devote some time during practice to tip ins. They are absolutely dreadful at it.
and free throws
Meeks missed three wide open shots in one possession.
he is without a doubt the worst starter in the nba
queue 4th qtr collapse like clockwork sadly
2 possessions down by 2:
igoudala takes a covered 3, airballs it
thad takes a contested 18 footer, bricks it
thats why they cant win. when it gets close and late they aint got a god damn player to go to
that was close iggy. bleh.
they got lucky to even get that chance
lou was also terrible tonight. total no show.
they need size and they need someone, anyone, to become mr. big shot. until then its almost pointless watching this.
Yep, they need a closer.
Lou has faded lately and is really struggling it seems. The two clunkers that Iggy threw up there tonight at the end were awful shots.
the thad one was even worse
they cleared out for someone with a terrible jump shot and a very weak dribble drive against one of the better defends in the league. thad held the ball for a good 5 seconds looking for someone to move or someone to pass to and no one was even in the picture, so he just said farg it and took a contested 18 footer.
next thing you know d rose does d rose shtein and thats it.

hes a great defender on the block...he is not a great defender against the dribble...thad had an unbelievable quickness adavantage right there (which is why collins wanted the matchup isoed)...why on gods earth once thad got what he wanted he didnt try to take noah off the dribble is beyond me

brand is brand and i thought he actually had one of his better games last night. the sixers should always get outrebounded but when they have like 25-30 second chance shots like the did last night, they should win. time for them to start practicing tip ins.
last 30 days
sixers have four wins
cavs...pistons....warriors....bobcats
teams they still have to play this month...
boston (2)
utah
knicks (2)
at indiana
at miami
at chicago
at san antonio
uuugggghhh.
every night they are finding something to be really bad at. 6 fast break points?
so much for blowing out teams they should.
if they are lucky this year will go the same as last year
7 seed and 1 win vs. miami
What happened to beating the teams they're suppose to?
they are gonna lose their next six games and at then end of this month they are probably going to be three or four games under .500......at this point they are 50/50 to even make the playoffs

Bet on it.
Sixers love to do the opposite of what should happen-so its highly unlikely they lose 6 in a row.
boston
utah
at ny
at ind
mia
at chi
1-5 at best
they could go 0-6 or 6-0 and neither would surprise me that much, so i think they go 3 and 3. maybe even 4-2 if they can beat CHI again, which they obviously can and should have last week.
boston W
utah L
at ny W
at ind W
mia L
at chi L
when they were playing great and went up against a really tough stretch they went 4-3....now playing horribly i cant see them winning three or four out of six...i think they win one but the best they can hope for is lose to both mia and chi and split the other four (utah, ind, bos and knicks)
New york, Boston, and Utah aren't good.
New York and Boston both have athletic point guards with decent size. Either of those guys along with 4 corpses would still give the Sixers fits.

Should be noted that the sixers haven't played Boston yet, that Utah is a much different team on the road, and that Jeremy Lin is overrated.
http://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/2012/03/07/evan-turners-mystery-problem/
heres the problem with that article....
Quote
After a disappointing rookie season, things were looking up for Evan Turner. He wasn't starting, but he was playing a meaningful role on the Sixers bench.
when the second overall pick in the draft cant even start in his second year on a .500 team with no great players is happy to have "meaningful minutes" then you should probably temper your career expectations of the guy
in other news he got butt humped by jeremy macklin and now has the "mystery disease"
Like I said... ET should be starting with the ball in his hand...
going into OT last night has the celtics with no legs...wouldnt shock me to see the big three not play the fourth quarter
ET is out of his mind right now
"He could drop kick the ball and it would go in right now!"
not trying to cherrypick one good ET game against an obviously disinterested celtics team but why didnt this happen sooner?
i mean jodie is barely a rotation guy let alone a starter
ET is in Dougie's doghouse. You could tell going back to last season by his demeanor when they'd interact.
Rod Thorn was on Mike Miss the other day and gave the standard ET isn't playing more because Iggy is ahead of him. I mean we all know that's bullshtein but ok. Meeks starts but ET still gets more minutes. Smallwood wrote an article saying they should trade ET, I wouldn't mind that so much if the right deal came along.
Doug alluded to Evan being the PG now with Holiday running off the ball like he did at UCLA.
So farging WIP or whatever they call themselves now are blacking out the Sixers games on their webcast. Since the all- star break the shteins have not broadcast any games over the Internet. Get the same Valentines Day rebroadcast of the Morning Show during Sixers games. iceholes.
you can listen for free on the NBA's website. you just have to sign up for an account. they used to be blacked out on there because WIP was playing them, but it's switched now
Quote from: Hawk on March 07, 2012, 11:02:26 PM
Doug alluded to Evan being the PG now with Holiday running off the ball like he did at UCLA.
problem is turner is not a pg. he is very unaggressive with the ball and would rather set up plays than take a defender one on one to the rim.
matter of fact this is the problem with the sixers offense in general. watching them even try to run a half court set is extremely painful.
hes not nearly quick enough and doesnt have a good enough handle to play point...thats why they cant run a half court offense because no one on the team can consistently take anyone off the dribble...turner should be in the post as much as he should be running the offense....he has some nice moves down there and he can shoot over a lot of the people guarding him

His handle is underrated. He's very crafty with the ball, and he's gotten to the basketball much more so than Jrue or Iguodala. I think his craftiness helps to offset what he lacks in athleticism. He did a great job last night when defending Rondo. With Turner, Jrue, and Iguodala all playing at the same time, I think the team will shut down pgs much more effectively.
Craftiness? The kid played 36+ had 2 assists. I'm not sure what games you're watching but Turner does not go hard to the rim anymore than Jrue or Iggy. Matter of fact I've seen Jrue go plenty--his problem is he doesnt know how to distribute.
I'm not saying Turner cant dish the rock, as he is very good in transition, but let's not pretend hes this magic johnson crafty passer just yet or even ever will be.
When did I say he was a crafty passer. He's crafty with the ball, which helps offset his lack of explosion to the lane. Evan looked better with the ball in his hands last night than Jrue has all season.
What did he do that was so crafty besides dribble 3 times and send it over to the wing 50 times?
So having a very good handle which allows him to score baskets on a much quicker player isn't crafty. On top of it, he's one of the best rebounding guards in the league.
stop doing a jeremy lin on evan turner and stop doing a munson on yourself....settle down step back and stop typing for a while
What have I said that's wrong. He has great handle, he's very crafty, and one of the best rebounder at the guard positions. His shot and athleticism were his questionmarks. I'll be proven right about ET like I was proven right about dirk last year.
Stop with all of this "Evan Turner is crafty" talk. He doesn't get around. He's not always down. He's got not gripe. Hell, he isn't even my type.
We have such a surlpus of guards and wings and Utah has a surplus of big men, let's make a trade.
They need to extend this league in the third so Jefferson and millisap can't hurt us in a close game.
nice to see lou getting off a little bit again....hes been strugglin...key is hes gettin to the line....which no one on the team has been doing lately
I missed this game tonight--just saw turners stats
pretty impressive--anybody besides hawk want to comment? was he aggressive, crafty or was it the same ol?
for whatever reason he was off the ball more this game.....there was no lead on offense...him jeru and iguodala moved it around nicely
the x factor tonight was lou and thad being super aggresive..thad had a ridiculous quickness advantage all night and took advantage of it...and lou was in one of his grooves where he had mad confidence....combined they had to have been to the line 20 times
I was actually hoping for a different answer and just maybe with turners minutes being consecutively this high the offense would slowly start to take a different look, but it seems that wasnt the case.
thinking it might be back to reality against the knicks. the sixers love making career nights out of opposing guards so I expect Jermey Lin to pop off for at least 20 and 8 tomorrow.
yeah...no the offense was no different than any other night....et played well dont get me wrong but they won because the team executed very well and was aggresive not because the offense was transformed
my man just told me that ET played 44 minutes in a game they won by 13 and he was +2...and nic vucevic was +15
im not even sure how thats possible and im not positive i believe it
lol
I sat courtside tomoght it was pretty dope!
After tonight, turner is averaging the most rebounds for all guards even in his limited minutes. Holiday, iggy, and turner are going to give teams fits defensively. If chandlers out, the sixers will win by 20.
and heeeeeeere weeeee go.......
WTF - what channel is this on?!
nba network
Got it - thanks. I was looking on ABC and thought maybe I didnt get it because of the Celts/Lakers coming on later.
it would be the first half of an abc double header if it wasnt cbb tourney season
why do they keep putting ET on melo
and what the farg is wrong with jeru....0-6 from the field with two turnovers
elite defensive play there
he actually played him really well....just a world class scorer vs a world class defender....scorer should win more than he loses...kinda like kobe goin off on lebron last week...lebron is arguably the best wing defender in the nba
ET doesn't get half the calls he should going to the basket, he's good at generating contact and finishing. he should have 10-12 free throws a game. i guess it's because he's a second year player, but he's also a whiner which probably hurts him
you bait and now you take the bait

yeah its cause he stares down the ref like a little bitch after every shot he takes....im surprised collins hasnt talked to him about this....or maybe he has
how the farg do you not call a foul on linn there
farging awful play by jeru....lay the ball off to someone four on one
jeremy linn is terrible
wow that was sick
lin is so awful. how many cross court passes is this dummy going to try
its def the right move and i dont feel bad for him or anything but how terrible must if be if you are jodie meeks going from the starting line up to one minute played in a half
i literally forget he's on the team until he comes in. hopefully he knew he was playing minutes above his level and just enjoyed it while it happened
hes only gonna play now when they are behind by enough in the second half where collins feels like threes are the onyl way they can get back in the game....or obviously less than a minutes left situations down by three
ET has eight rebounds in the first half today....meeks has nine rebounds in the last five games
i think at this stage in their respective careers brand might jump higher than amare
why the farg is he bitching to the refs when he gets the call. he needs to stop that shtein
evan turner is such a fleshpop...he flipped around again and started to bitch at the ref about no foul call...except the ref actually called a foul....and then teed him up for good measure
interesting that doug has gone to a 7 man rotation these last two games
voy and jodie go from starters to OUT within a week

hes figured out that their spacing should come from the fact that they have athletes all over the court who can all move without the ball not from jodie meeks trying to extend a defense
lavoy is out because hes a less experienced brand...they dont need two eltons....vooch can play the spencer hawes role much better
Just once show me you can go strong to the bucket with a defender on you Iggy. Just once.
its almost a cliche at this point to say no one in the nba has a mid range game so if you can find someone with one its a huge plus...its overrated but not totally untrue...and thats whats so great about ET....he has that 8-15 foot area on lock down

wont fight that but you cant go 7 for the rest of the season, games are gonna come where youre gonna need 20 from jodie or voy
how good can they be when they dont play for a week then all of a sudden need to go in and give some minutes?
p.s. jeremy lin sucks
Evan Turner should have been getting major minutes all season... Close out the third quarter strong and take home the w.
Why is stoudemire finally taking it to the basket against the sixers after weeks if settling for jumpers.
iguodala coming into this game was one miss away from moving below 60% on ft's....hes gone 3-3 so far
BOOM!!...sweeter the berry sweeter the lou.....sixers are so much better when he scores its not even funny
Beautiful quarter.
Bury the Knicks and get the Garden crowd booing their asses off.
Jrue is 1-12
89 points through 3 quarters, the knicks defense is pathetic
Time for Lin to pad his stats like he did against the mavs and spurs.
Quote from: PhillyPhreak54 on March 11, 2012, 02:02:53 PM
Jrue is 1-12
dont need his scoring when lou is out of his mind and they might end up with three 20pt guys...outside chance of even four...hes made life miserable for linn all day tho...thats enough for me in a game like this and sometimes you are not gonna have it on the offesnive end...the key is to not let if effect you on the other side of the court and it hasnt
is melo hurt or does iguodala just have him shook...hes been on the bench for a while now
Melo and Amare sitting on the bench. Paying a lot of money for two guys to warm the bench in the fourth.
i knew linn was sickeningly overrated by people but he is downright terrible
knicks post game presser is going to be very interesting

Don't say that on a knicks board, they blame melo for the regression.
ugly last few minutes but i guess it was just about grinding out the clock
good win. farg ny.
celtics game wasnt a true test but what a little stretch here for the sixers blasting their two divisional challengers
The Sixers were playing like absolute shtein at the time so nobody could've predicted this stretch, don't be a douche.
Pacers game on Wednesday is going to be big, especially if Indiana is finally completely healthy. Indiana's coming off a game the night before, and the Sixers will have a couple days rest so they should win that one.
I posted on the same page that Utah Boston and nyk weren't good. Igy has the same negative shtick for all the philly teams.

yeah that pacers game is gonna be really interesting....they should have beat miami last night and they are playing very well even tho they have gone thru a tough stretch here...vogel is mad underrated as a coach
ET had the most rebounds today by a sixers guard since jerry stackhouse in 1995

The greatest part of this knicks season is their homer fans flooding the general board of the bball forum I read when Lin first broke out. Some calling him a perennial all star and a future hall of famer. Now that he's cooled down, they are in a suicidal depression.
even after that losing streak if my math is correct the sixers have the 6th most wins in the association
usually they have the 6th most ping pong balls in the hopper
yea they are tied for 6th with LA
they also have a really good shot of getting atlanta in the 1st round, which would be a win since the hawks are a farce.
also great: if you think the sixers have a home-loaded sked so far, look at boston. same home records but c's are 5-11 away and have played 2 less games than the sixers.
so an old, slow team that sucks outside of boston has to play 2 more games than the sixers and on top of that most of their games left are on the road. combine that with the knicks catastrophe and id say the atlantic division is just about wrapped up.
me and sunny have tix to the hawks sixers game later this month....ill let you know how the match up looks
cream puff will be back tonight
espn tonight and friday
deadly back to back this weekend....fri miami sat at chicago
1-2 would be nice
win tonight and try to steal one of the next 2...tonights gonna be a tough match though; i agree w igy - vogel doesnt get anywhere near the credit he should as a coach.
love doris burke
absolutely disgusting perimeter defense tonight...so reminiscent of a couple years ago when they were cluless about how to rotate and move abover or below screens
Yep. They're not defending shtein outside. And the Pacers are dropping everything in.
aside from the sixers defense
this game has basically come down to the two sixth men...both identical players...awful defensively instant offense off the bench
and the tally:
sweet lou 2-10 for 5 pts
geroge hill 7-9 for 17 pts
2-4 at best
more like sweet or sour lou
Quote from: phattymatty on March 14, 2012, 11:27:38 PM
2-4 at best
it will be 3-3....i was one game off and thats because i didnt anticipate that boston would go into overtime the night before playing the sixers and essentially give up before the opening tip
sam young, sixer
for a second round pick apparently. i'm cool with that.
meh. now the grizzles can sign gilbert
im 100% sure it will fall short but this comeback has been nuts
As horrible as they played in the first half they played just as good in the second. Still can't hit free throws and shtein but we know that already. Especially in a close game against the Heat. At least Turner looks like he's actually a worthwhile player now
Nice comeback. Iggy pulled his usual bonehead act by not fouling with .28 seconds left. Turner was possessed.
The two things that frustrate me most about playing the Heat is 1) They get ridiculous calls and the Sixers get shtein 2) role players like Haslem and Chalmers constantly hit big shots. I know they have to put a lot of resources covering Wade/Lebron but these guys always hit clutch shots against the Sixers.
hes better with the ball than jeru...but tonight turner was pretty bad...he had a bunch of just terrible turnovers...and the double miss on the free throws pretty much ended the comeback
i used to think not having a shooter was their biggest problem on offense...but i think more than that is their absolutely inability to finish at the rim...they are all so farging soft going to the basket so they dont get pts or draw fouls
turner and iguodala are nerds and lou and thad are suburban aau guys....they need some inner city toughness on the team
iggy not fouling with 28 secs left down by 4 was pure gold
even though he might have gotten the 8 that never ever happen as it is. idiot.
Quote from: SD on March 16, 2012, 09:46:36 PM

lol wat?
no chance you watched the game...or flipped to a couple times when turner scored
iguodala and turner basically played the exact same game...neither were good...really no one on the team was (jeru played the worst game of his career)
they got run out of the gym and the heat stopped playing so they made a comeback that never had a shot of happening...they all sucked tonight

I missed most of the 3rd quarter and part of the 4th because I had to pick up my daughter. Late in the 4th Turner was making clutch shots and driving hard to the lane drawing fouls. There was a stretch where he was the best player on the court.

Like I said in an earlier post, they should devote the offseason to tip ins. They're the worst team I can remember at it.
yeah turner had that really strong drive where he went hard to the rim and got fouled when it was at six....and the place was going nuts
thats where he missed both free throws
i think ET is good at going to the rim and adjusting to contact. i was disappointed in lou last night, he had a bunch of opportunities that he couldn't finish
lou is so inconsistent just because of his size....if his shot is going down he can have 20 pts in 20 minutes...if its not hes done because he doent have a plan b as hes too small and weak to get to the hole consistently
i think him and jeru last night were combined 7-32
where did that first quarter come from?
we are in the second half and
jeru = 17 pts
ET + iguodala + brand + thaddeus + lou = 13
Nothing equals Championship more than that equation. I'm still pissed about the last 5 minutes and the pathetic display of basketball knowledge we witnessed last night.
and keep in mind chicago doesnt have the league mvp tonight
yo someone be fakin
sixers are a complete embarrassment....i am so disgusted by them...one big shopping cart full of BITCHES
the only positive after the last few games is that hopefully the movement by many sixer fans to start a linsanity type movement via evan turner will now die
im not sure how people went from he should be starting over jodie farging meeks (duh!) to him being a budding star happened but can we now end it?.....please?
you are what you are in the nba...you dont overnite all of a sudden become a thousand times better than you were
spencer hawes is a 7 foot ghost. just a farging invisible pointless oaf.
but that might not be worse than et bitching to the refs and getting a t once per game. farging Hoyda.
and that might not be worse than these two bulls announcers. 2 drunk elders blabbing on during the game. and crying everytime someone sneezes on one of their players.

cream puff fo sho...hes basically a thinner softer version of big country (and big country was a big fat cotton ball)
watching him go against noah and taj gibson is exposing the sixers problems in a painful way
i also couldnt agree more about ET....after every non basket play by him hes either blaming a teammate or whining to a ref
in a nutshell the difference btwn a pro team like the bulls and the sixers...lou tries a one hand windmill dunk off an alley oop he could have caught and laid in....next time down the bulls get in the lane and convert an old school bank shot
i love lou but hes so pointless unless hes on. might not even be a 6th man since he has no inside game and is kinda useless on d. more of a nate robinson, jeremy lin type where they can take over a game on the right day and otherwise should probably get a dnp-cd
in short they need to hope to jesus roy hibbert and andrew bynum are FAs and will sign here
roy hibbert is way overrated...i want no part of him
bynum is a monster...if his knees stay in tact
lou is way better than nate robinson or jeremy lin (jesus christ are you serious) but i agree as i said last night his shot is droppin or it isnt and when it isnt hes pretty ugly...what doug needs to do is change up his minutes...they need to only run lou against the other teams second unit...so he can take advantage of lesser players...instead of not starting him but then giving him starter minutes against the other teams first five
i was comparing him to that kind of player...someone who can take over a game on the right night but has as good of a shot of being a total nonfactor. like lou went toe to toe with kobe this year and also had at least 15 games where he was garbage. hes that kind of guy.
jj barrea also in there. lin is in there but a poor mans version of it.
those 2 guys are the 2 best possible free agent bigs. both i think have player options or team options, so who knows if they are even gonna be out there. bynum id invest in. if it dont work itll be OK they survived this disastrous brand deal they can survive one for bynum.
Jeru 30 points and the next closest is Casper the Ghost Hawes with 10. Nice of Brand and Turner to show up.

jeremy lin is a bum period...not even sure he should be in the nba...nate robinson was a massive overachiever in a good way...for his size he was a trooper...but he mostly got numbers in the league because hes was on a hideous team...im not trying to build up lou but hes way better than either of those two...altho hes a totally different player than lin
hibbert couldnt be a worse fit for the sixers right now...hes a sloth half court player....the sixers need a big that can move up and down the court...hibbert works on indiana because they are a half court team....he would be a terrible for the sixers
then who can they get that isnt a Hoyda ass bitch like hawes
hes psychotic but i would have made a run at javale mcgee...skill set wise hes their golden child...can run like a gazelle for a big man...blocks shots and rebounds...if....and admittedly this is a big IF....he gets a hold of himself and matures he is gonna be the real deal....maybe doug could have pulled that off...i dont know
so why not bynum...if he gets on the market.
either that or hope someone falls to them in the draft.
id def take bynum...thats a no brainer
and forget the draft...its the worst draft in a long time and they arent gonna pick high anyway
i saw somewhere the other day...cant remember which mock but it had the sixers taking mason plumlee.....ahahaha
lol i just saw that and refused to believe it.
bynum has a team option...brook lopez and javale are restricted...chris kaman is unrestricted. el oh el.
as for 4's kg and duncan are out there. so is kardashian.
might have to wait a year on bynum and hope LA doesnt extend him. not a good battle plan.
javale just got dealt....im saying they should have went after him before the deadline
yea i just listing the guys who could/will hit the market
id take mama mcgee though
maybe denver got javale just to get rid of nene's contract....and they have no intention of keeping him....highly unlikey with his upside...and the public condemnation that would bring....but you never know
so i guess they lost? without rose? sweet.
and jevale mcgee is the absolute best thing in the nba right now.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-8rEd2GDxs&feature=youtube_gdata_player
I don't know who is the bigger idiot, McGee or the guy who made this video.
i want this team to be so good....its my heart...but they just arent...
demeco gonna be courtside tonight for the big game
this is as embarrassing a start as ive seen in a long time
Sixers' offense may be worse than the Phils'.
under five to go in the first quarter and the sixers dont have a fg
Hawes has been the worst player on the floor tonight. Other than earlier this season before he got hurt, I don't know if he's ever played a good game of basketball in his life. He's missed like 4 wide open jumpers, won't rebound shtein, keeps turning it over, and does nothing but complain.
Why is the Wach loaded with scumbag NYers? They're loud.

hawes has been as awful a player as ive ever seen. good lord.
and what does it say about nic that he cant even get on the floor considering how dominating chandler and amare have been and how spence is farging useless
doug is going small and taking his chances. what else can he do.
get some farging size on this team. and cut hawes tomorrow. what a Hoyda.
The "defense, defense" chants for the Knicks right there make me cringe. Come on, Sixer fans!

ANother awful Iggy shot...
Game over
garbage loss for a garbage team
they deserve to be swept by miami and thats whats gonna happen
lololol
Nice foul, iceholes.
Dumb fargs.
Per Roob; Sixers 2-14 this year on games decided by 7 or less.
No closer/go to guy.
And 0-8 decided by 4 pts or less
they were playing the carcass of elton brand and thad young at the 5
they were running plays in a massive game in the 4th qtr for jodie meeks
thats enough info for me. 8 seed.

they werent exactly good in the first three either
what i dont get is why in the last few minutes of close games doug takes them out of their offensive sets and iso's a player at the top of the key...last night it was lou...you dont have a go to guy so why not run your regular offense and try to get a good shot...instead of having guys like lou and iguodala try and create a shot when they arent that kind of player
you want to run plays for jodie meeks?
sure....ill take an open jumper from meeks if thats what your set gets you over iso'ing lou for the first 20 seconds of the shot clock and then garbage
not sure what the hell collins is doing as of late
while its surely not all his fault because the talent can only take you so far, his decisions with subs and who has the ball in his hands have been a head scratcher late in the season here. I dont know how many times it will take to lose for him to realize that lou williams is not his michael jordan. mix the shtein up and at least let the the other team think something different. love the guy but its been a long while where I can even remember a time where collins came out of a timeout with under 2 to go and called a good play.
Keep riding with Lou and Meeks, keep losing.

"It makes no sense to me why so many good scorers can't defend," Iguodala says. "Like Lou Williams. He's one of the toughest guys to guard in the league, but he can't guard anybody. I don't get that."
The hits keep coming.
What an idiot. Get him off this team already...good riddance. Who cares if it's the truth or not, you don't throw your team mates out there like that.
This team will still win the division. Boston's schedule is brutal down the stretch.
not if they farging lose to toronto
theres an outstanding chance they dont even finish ahead of the knicks
new rule: when a basketball player unintentional banks a shot in the announcer isnt allowed to ask if he called it
on a scale of manute bol to wilt how bad is spencer hawes
what a farging oaf
i remember hawk saying when the cream puff came back all would be well and he was the reason they were struggling
ive never seen a more invisible 7 footer
its like hes not even there even when he is
and with the c's losing to north corpus christi this impending L is especially terrible
the whole team has completely quit for the year...tonight loss is the beginning of the end
so doug wore out his welcome in...1.5 seasons?
new record for him
pretty much
evan turner has to go....he could be the most selfish crybaby could care less about winning player ive ever seen
farging bums
too bad they didn't tank it a little earlier and have a shot at Anthony Davis.
Awful loss...seven goddamn points in the 4th
Whats the deal with Turner and why did he turn into such a funhole?

even when he first started and was droppin 20 a game he was getting t'ed up once per game for crying to the refs. and it wasnt the sheed type of bitching where its done like a street tough man from philly who aint takin shtein. its done from a little funhole who didnt get his way and is going to cry about it
on top of that hes farging terrible. all that you needed to know about him is it took him a season and a half to pass jodie meeks in the starting lineup.

I'm fine with this. He's no where near skilled enough to transform a lottery team into a playoff contender. I like his game on defense but he doesn't really bring much offense to the table. Not to mention that he doesn't seem to have much of an NBA body right now either. Obviously that would change over time since he's so young but I don't see him making any big waves his first year....possibly 2 or 3 years....into the league.
You have got to be kidding me? 20 farging points in the second half? Collins blaming it on fatigue due to the compressed schedule. They suck Doug.
Quotethe Sixers put up the fewest points they have ever scored in the fourth quarter of a basketball game since the advent of the 24-second clock back in 1954-55 against a habitual lottery team.

Whats the deal with Turner and why did he turn into such a funhole?
hes been that way since day 1 of freshman practice at ohio state....you didnt hear about mark titus' book?...plus all you gotta do is look at the guy and his facial expressions the way he talks to see that theres something wrong with him...i suspect he may have some form of autism is bi polar or maybe a savant....but something is seriously wrong with him

I'm fine with this. He's no where near skilled enough to transform a lottery team into a playoff contender. I like his game on defense but he doesn't really bring much offense to the table. Not to mention that he doesn't seem to have much of an NBA body right now either.

Larry Brown disagrees he believes the team that gets him will be a 50 win team his first season.
That is a little extreme but he is a game changer, look at the title game he scored 6 points ame was clearly the best and most important player on the floor.

Nah didn't know anything about the book...he does look a bit off.
Should have taken Cousins.
Cousins would have been a good pick and would actually fill a need...what they REALLY should have done was trade the pick. There were a ton of teams that were interested in him but the Sixers wanted to stand their ground. The good news is he's still young and has value. They have to do something drastic in the offseason, no idea what that something is but they need to shake the team up. The good news is Brand/Nocioni/Hawes have expiring contracts which gives them a little bit of flexibility. Maybe they trade cap space and Iggy for someone. Grasping at straws here but they're in a bad predicament where they're not going to be able to add a superstar via free agency and they're not bad enough [and the draft is not good enough] to get a potential star during the draft. Patience might actually be the best option.
And I'm fine with Dougie staying for the long term. There's no better option out there and the team showed actual signs of life and being a contender despite playing with so so talent.

I love his defense and the way he hits the boards. I also like the fact that he had a bad shooting performance and was still able to be that impactful. But the kid needs a lot of work on offense and he needs to bulk up a bit. When he's 21 or 22 and has put a good 15 lbs of muscle on him, he very well could dominate in the NBA. But I don't see him doing much for those first few years in the league. Time will tell.
larry brown will be the sixers coach to start next season
just trust me. when am i ever wrong.
http://bykatefagan.com/2012/04/05/inside-the-sixers-answering-the-why/
Fagan's take - I miss her on the beat.
cousins would give this soft batch team another 5-6 wins alone...they needed a banger then and they still need a banger now. shtein even favors who was my second choice that year would be making a much bigger impact right now. i don't hate turner but yeah he's showing signs of becoming a javale/perkins face maker.
Agreed...Cousins should have been the pick.

how dead is it at the wac tonight?
fans have checked out just as fast as the players
thats sports at its essence....the fans take the lead from the team....at least in real sports cities....maybe in miami and atlanta a house song pumped over the stadium sound system can kick start people but not here
its amazing how much of a difference ryan anderson being out makes against the sixers
this is a match up to see which team can care less about winning this game
Iggy trying to take Howard off the dribble at the end of that half was one of the ugliest things I've ever seen him do
ha...i missed it while probably watching the baseball equivalent....juan pierre striking out in an embarassing fashion
actually i just watched it on dvr...that was pathetic
3rd quarter scoring
big baby - 16
sixers - 15
Thad heating up...
Another one! 8 in a row for Thad
its amazing how well they are executing right now....come the three and a half minute mark they wil struggle to get off shots much less make them

Iggy with a cluth 4 points tonight and a even better 0-2 on his FTs there!
1-8 from the field and 2-4 from the line.
You suck.
jrue has 5 points, 2 boards and 0 assists
in fact no one in their starting lineup hit double figures.
wow
sixer starting five 31 pts
glenn davis 23 pts
Once Iggy stepped out when he caught a pass around the 3:00 mark down 3 or 4 I turned it off. Seriously no point in watching the ends of close games anymore. Completely embarrassing
the game ended when thad gagged on that jumper down by only three that anyone on this board could have hit
I'm rooting for them to lose at this point. There's no point in making the playoffs and getting swept by the Heat. Might as well tank, get in the lottery, and see what happens. Who cares if the draft is weak, a somewhat decent pick gives the team ammunition to make a trade.

im pretty sure "jmyers85" was either trying to suck up to aron is functionally retarded
anyone who knows the slightest bit about basketball or people knows this team is toast. they dont want to be there anymore than we want to watch them
In regards to the Fagan article they were speculating who leaked that info on 97.5 yesterday. 3 most common answers were ET, Jrue, and Iggy. I'd probably go with Iggy even though my first inclination said ET, but I don't know if he's clever enough to pull something like that off. Iggy is sneaky and spiteful enough to let something like that leak. I actually started to turn on Iggy the beginning of this season, he was playing within the confines of the system, taking good shots, and playing his usually stellar defense, then he reverts back to the monstrosity of a mess that he is. This meltdown has to signal the end. I just hope the Sixers feel the same way and don't let him linger around because they're afraid it will hurt ticket sales. Here's a message to management, 75% of Sixers fans hate Iggy and don't attend games solely because of him. Get rid of him now while he still has some value.

Say what?
attendance hasnt been an issue this year
Too bad quality basketball has been. #8 seed here they come!!
lol ....way to start, clowns.
totally forgot about this....and good thing i did
Wow. The Sixers couldn't beat the Phillies right now.
I think MDS' Owls could run game on these fools right now
where is racist division champion sixers have an easier schedule than boston hawk at??
Meeks and Vucevic into the starting lineup; Turner and Hawes out
49-42 right now and Hawes is doing ok from the bench while Meeks has a big fat ZERO
sixers are back!
to beating zesty teams by 20
worst 8 seed in sports history?
i will take a .04 percent shot at the lotto vs. that
problem is they arent 8....if the knicks can pass them which is going to be tough as the knicks schedule is brutal then i think the sixers have a real chance at beating the bulls...im not ready to predict it or anything but its a legit shot....where as if they finish 7th and have to face the heat its sweep city
When I made that claim I didn't realize they were growing so tired of the Doug Collins show. Two wins in a row baby.
i actually think they have a better than average shot against the bulls too. which is weird because on paper you'd think their bigs would manhandle the sixers but they've done really well against them this year.
knicks are up two in milwaukee with three left on espn
i doubt anyone cares tonight but the sixers are headed down the stretch in a barn burner
tied with three minutes left
GAG
I love Thad and all but he's been a disappointment this season. That flubber with the ball and an open lane in crunch time was pathetic.
i watched it but its tough to even get mad
they are what they are and what they are is not very good
Yep. 84-84 with 4 minutes left, but we all know not a chance in hell they'd win. Didn't get frustrated at all.
what a lazy team
i see everyone quit, just like this team
Yep.
40pts allowed in the second qtr.
Ryan Anderson? When's his farging hall of fame induction?
No Howard or Turkoglu.
Booooooooooooooo.
Stopped watching last week. Blow it up.
didnt you have boston fading and the sixers winning the division last week?
They're better off losing and not making the playoffs. I'd be more excited for them on draft day picking in the 10-15 range than I would watching them get swept by Miami.

Two and a half weeks ago. Last week the players gave up on Doug, which was in turn, confirmed by Kate Fagan.
And you act like it was confidence in the sixers. I assumed they would continue to handle the bad teams while Boston would struggle with their schedule. What's the point of wanting the sixers to miss? There is no difference between picking 14 or 16.

For one you don't know where they'd be picking at, maybe they hit the lottery. Two every bit helps. The real question is what's the point of having them make the playoffs? If they miss at least management will be more inclined to make changes. They make the playoffs and they're going to get embarrassed by the Heat...so what's the point in making the playoffs?

They'd have less than a one percent chance at moving into the top three. I'd rather see them maybe take a couple games from Chicago than move up from 16 to 14.
NY holds the tie breaker so they're getting the Heat not the Bulls...and they aren't beating the Bulls at all with the way they're playing right now.
Wait a minute-hawk knows they have no shot in the playoffs but would like to see the Sixers take a couple of games for fun and not move up at all in the draft?
We are way past "playoff experience", so I'll be here all day waiting for the logic on that.
In my opinion the Sixers have a better shot of hitting the lottery than they do winning a game against the Heat.
I wouldn't put it past the Sixers winning a game, matter of fact it will probably be the first game of the series they win because that's usually what happens.... then it's all downhill from there

they have more chance of playing the bulls than the heat....im not sure they win a game the rest of the year so out of the playoffs is the most likely scenario but what i def cant see them doing is finishing ahead of the knicks
i suppose miami could also still finish ahead of chicago but thats unlikely
You act like the jump from sixteen to fourteen is significant.
It's not but it's something-and id rather play that card than playing in a no win situational playoff series.
It's moot anyway. They'll find a way to farg it up. Faried was the slam dunk pick this tear since rebounding has constantly translated from college to the NBA and they took Voosh
another pathetic effort
what a disgrace of a team
Can't wait for Lou to be off this team.

QuoteLeague source: Williams to opt out of contract, test free agency
04/21/2012 6:36 PM
By John Mitchell
Philadelphia 76ers guard Lou Williams will opt out of the final year of his contract at the end of this season and become an unrestricted free agent, according to a league source with knowledge of the situation.
If he were not to opt out, Williams would be due $6.4 million from the Sixers.
Said the source: "He's indicated that he's not going to pick up his option. All indications are that he's going to opt out."
Reached at courtside via telephone before the 76ers, fighting for the final spot in the Eastern Conference playoffs, game at Indiana on Saturday, 76ers general manager Rod Thorn said that he had not spoken with his leading scorer about his contract but acknowledged that Williams can opt out his contract and become an unrestricted free agent.
"He has not said what he will do, but we will react to that when the time comes," Thorn said.
Said the source: "He's indicated that he's not going to pick up his option. All indications are that he's going to opt out."
Williams leads the 76ers in scoring this season, averaging 14.9 points a game in just over 26.2 minutes per game. Williams has not started a game this year. If this holds, Williams will become the only player to lead his team in scoring since Dell Curry did it for the Charlotte Hornets in the 1993-94 season. [\quote]
their per game pts allowed just decreased by like 7
hey i repeated quotes once too
sick quarter.....bulls be shakin
love doug but his rotations lately have been curious to say the least....lou is going off in this quarter...scored eight straight pts and doug sits him for four minutes where the team promptly scores a total of four pts during that tie
granger has only been able to get off four shots in the half against iguodala for two pts and the pacers have still scored 50+ in the half
here we go again.....whos number is getting called for this last shot
lol at Jrue with the airball. Foul or not that was still an awful shot.
so unbelievably maddening
he was so farging hesitant coming around that screen....farging have to be aggresive there even if you miss....he was like uhhhhhhh what do i do now
they have not had one open look since that lou three
BOOM!
farg yeah....fnally a late pull out
"The Sixers win it...The Sixers in it...for the first time this year they won a close game" - Mark Zumoff
lol at doug going off after the game....GIT HIM....the mic clearly picked up "you farging icehole"
what a great win...you could see it in the bench and the team as they came off
Who was Dougie Fresh gettin on?
looked to me like it was some fans across the court from their bench....at first i thought it might have been the ref and he was still pissed about that substitution they wouldnt allow when he wanted meeks in the game but i cant believe hed go off with that kind of venom on a ref
lol
I missed it...went to make a rum and coke
be interesting to see if its addressed in the post game presser
i think it was a fan...i had the audio off i read it as "farg you icehole"
anyway, gut check win. hopefully they can draw chicago in round 1 and make a run
alright so:
ny--@ atl, vs. lac, @ cha
phi--@ nj, @ mil, @ det
---
mil--vs. tor, vs. phi, @ bos
chicago is essentially locked into the 1. heat have the 2. knicks and sixers are tied for 7/8 but knicks have the tiebreaker. sixers lead bucks by 3 with 3 to play.
i think the play is simple. you wait for the knicks to show their hand. if they win @ atl, sixers then answer and win in nj, then tank the last 2 and lock themselves into chi. if knicks lose then wait and see how they do. if push comes to shove obviously they need to win at detroit to simply get in.
they dont even have to win to get in.....a milwaukee loss puts them in

The Sixers aren't tanking any games so they can win two playoff games instead of zero. They might lose those games, but that would be because the Sixers aren't that good, not because they are tanking.
im not saying that are back to where they were in january but last night they really looked like they gave a shtein for the first time in a long time
considering they play chicago well and considering their best player is gimpy, they actually maybe might just perhaps will give the bulls a run. not saying itll happen but there is a chance.
the heat will sweep.
is there an echo in here?
not getting my hopes up for any kind of huge playoff run but common sense says going in on a 4 game win streak will be better than getting in by default.
they are pros, they can turn it on and turn it off
you cant tell people to lose on purpose but you can go with brackens, voy, nic, et and meeks for 40 minutes and take your chances with that.
and its something they absolutely have to do. they will not and cannot beat the heat. playing them would be utterly pointless.

win streak is gonna be tough as they finish the year with five straight on the road....but if they win at nj it renders the milwaukee game meaningless and at detr0it to finsih the year is easily doable....so its certainly not out of the question that they could go into the postseason with a five game winning streak
but lets be real....that means nothing....they could win five in a row heading into a miami and series where they will get swept....or they could lose two of their last three regular season games and go into a bulls series where they win two minimum and have a legit shot at an 8-1 upset

Quote
NEWARK, N.J. - Monday afternoon, before the 76ers faced the New Jersey Nets, the NBA announced that Sixers coach Doug Collins was fined $15,000 for verbal abuse of an official after Saturday's impressive 109-106 overtime win against the streaking Indiana Pacers.
The object of Collins' ire appeared to be referee Zach Zarba. There was some contact down the stretch that Collins didn't seem to care for, especially an apparent karate chop-type swipe on Jrue Holiday in which there was no call.
Following the win, Collins was seen directing some choice words toward the officials.
"I don't ever want to get fined. I've been in the NBA for 40 years," Collins said. "It was sort of a buildup over a few things. It wasn't one thing, it was sort of a buildup. It was an emotional game, and we were able to win the game and stuff. I didn't leave the court in a timely fashion, and I should have been fined. The league did what they should have done, and I apologized."
The buildup Collins was talking about probably wasn't just from the lack of calls he wanted down the stretch on Saturday.
On Feb. 19 in Minnesota, Zarba called a reach-in foul on Andre Iguodala with one-tenth of a second left in the game and the Sixers leading by 91-90. Zarba claimed Iguodala fouled Kevin Love while the forward was driving to the lane after an inbounds pass. Replays and still photos appeared to show Iguodala grabbing all ball on the play. After that game, Collins also threw some verbal lobs toward Zarba.
Asked whether that's what he was referring to when he said his Saturday outburst had been a buildup of a few things, Collins quipped, "No, because then you're trying to get me to go further, right?"
Stress is getting to him but that is awesome.
need a combo of (2) sixer losses/knick wins to face chicago instead of miami
tonight
clippers at knicks
sixers at milwaukee (no iguodala - brand or possibly lou)
tomorrow
knicks at charlotte
sixers at detroit (no iguodala - brand or possibly lou)
brand, igy and thad are all staying home
lou is out tonight, jeru is out tomorrow
i assume doug will go light on minutes for the other guys. knicks also want the 6 so they will be trying at least tonight.
The Sixers weren't even trying and still won. Knicks won too
the knicks cant possibly to charlotte, can they?
either way sixers better make sure
melo and chandler are out tonight and woodson is gonna decide on amare today...guess what hes gonna do?...still the knicks second five is better than charlottes first five
all that is irrelevant tho...the sixers farging MUST tank this game tonight....someone tell evan turner to stop being so serious and that no matter what he does in meaningless games no one is going to think more of him
exactly. i didn't see the knicks game last night but i do know that they went from 18 up to 3 up in the last quarter. have a feeling they're doing the same thing, which makes sense.
tonight should be an xavier silas - craig brackens game.
games start at the same time, too (for some reason every single game is at 800 tonight), so they cant get a heads start on knowing what the knicks are doing
must. lose.
They can't be that dumb can they? They know the heat will sweep them so there's literally no rational for winning tonight.
Turner doesnt care. He's gunning for his first triple double in the worst way tonight and carrying the team to victory.
Must live up to the hype.
ET said he'd rather face the Bulls than the Heat (which everyone else also thinks) and ESPN turned this into a front-page article where he's disrespecting the Bulls

get your head out of your ass andre jesus
how sweep this will be
first quarter on the road against the number one seed down by just four after they shot 55% and didnt even score 30?

i was fearful of getting run out early here
this is a game you can steal
rose dont look like himself, basically a nonfactor in that quarter
old man rip aint gonna hit every shot, too
Yeah they battled back nicely.
I've been trying to get off the couch to get shtein done but I cant seem to get up....
turnovers from jrue and lou 3 possessions in a row
god hawes is a farging weak POS
turnover the jrue playing like a shook rookie
and lol @ spencer hawes on that layup. get him the farg out the game please.
Hawes is a goddamn bum
jesus thad knock one down
stadium is shockingly quiet today
the early start isnt helping but its like the fans know they are gonna win and dont care until they play the heat
how can someone as athletic as iguodala suck so bad at finishing in traffic...hes so soft to the rim
brand bring it so far.
bruiser is ON
ive never seen iguodala play this poorly. him and jrue have been hideously bad
stop shooting lavoy you dope
this team will never make noise until meeks and hawes are gone...they are such black holes on the roster and literally give you nothing at either end of the court...and meeks actually kills you....he should not be on the court the rest of these playoffs unless they are down by a lot in ay the third quarter and need pts to get back in it....then you put him in and hope he gets hot from three
Meeks literally gets torched by anyone he's guarding.
weak call

funny thing is right off the jump ball to open the game jeru hit a three...youd think that would get him off a little....not so much
the disheartening thing about iguodala is that he came out lax even on the defensive end...deng had nine pts in the first quarter
most of the rest of the team is garbage, if iggy and holiday don't show up, they have 0 chance to win a game. iggy isn't even finishing on breaks this game.
Haven't watched one second of this game. It's gonna be like last year. Maybe they steal one but that's it.
Thankfully Doug benched Meeks.
god i wish derrick rose would reinjure himself
just an awful play by jeru
coming off his man to try and challenge rip on a curl move??
And this is why people hate iggy.... Shooting us out of a run

for real
especially in chicago which is normally the loudest arena in the league
I think I'm at the point where I would rather amnesty iggy than brand.
jrue is so bad this game. long rebound, he doesn't have a chance to get it but he just walks over to rose who takes his time and spots up.
its noon, its a saturday, its the first round and they might as well be playing the minnesota timberwolves
you wouldnt be up either

Anyone surprised by Iggy's play shouldn't be, he doesn't give a farg and wants out of town. This is just the final FU before he's traded.

lol...sd hates iguodala so much and isnt rational when it comes to him
this is an awesome time for turner to think hes tough all of a sudden
No he is just a giant vagina who thinks he can shoot.
lol @ reggie miller saying how great this series is going to be cause theres so much shtein talking
can you imagine anyone on the sixers talking shtein....its embarrassing to even imagine it
iguodala is kanye west
turner is erkel
elton brand is a harvard professor
and lou williams is a hair stylist
hawes is a Hoyda
ET is ziggy svbotka

No...not purposely but subconsciously he knows he's outta here so why give 100%. You can tell by his demeanor he's regressed back the slumpy shoulder shtein bag we all know and love.
And I came around on Iggy in the beginning of this season when he was playing the game how it should be played. Now he's back to slopoudala.
that would be the first thing I would think about on the court during the playoffs--how can i lose this game?

Like anyone is tough on the Bulls. Jokiam Noah is Monica Seles and I could give a rats ass about the rest of them. Anywho, I wish I was wrong about this series, But Igy I'll add to the bet. If the Bulls sweep it jumps from 20 to 40$. If the Sixers win 3, I owe you 40$ take it? Also, the local radio broadcast with Bill Wenington and his dumb comments is almost sucidal!

sixers just got a chance in this series
i think he farging blew out his acl

Two genuine LOL moments from igy here; the Lou Will is a hair stylist comment and telling Mic he'd pay him a g to off himself.
I just sat down to eat some Chinese food and people looked at me for laughing while eating by myself.
They're laughing at you because of the Trotter jersey.
Im not wearing it -- although I probably should have.
derrick rose torn acl and mcl
sixers in 6.
the bulls are still better even without rose but this should make the series go 6 or 7 and allow miami to sleepwalk to the finals.
it was going at least 6 anyway....now the sixers have a real shot to win it
how bad is chicago sports radio destroying tibadough right now
yea, i kept waiting for it to happen to kentucky this year when cal was leaving everyone in up 100 with 3 minutes left in all of their games. no need to do that with rose, especially coming off an injury.
If D Rose did blow out his whatever, you still want that bet IGY? Or do u want to pay me 2 G's to off myself? Basically your all fluff, my insurance policy is much higher, so we'd have to work up a "wildcard" moment to make it look like an accident for the family. Either way, your still too much of a bitch a$$ to make the bet. Either way, I'll either take ur 20 or 40. All talk my homie! And as the late great Gang Starr said "now you're mine".
what do you mean "if"?
The story is already reported that he tore both his ACL and MCL and is done for the year.

for the record he did nothing wrong imo...it wasnt a 30 pt game it was like 11 when he got hurt and the injury was totally random...if he had reinjured the foot/ankle/groin then you would have a case
my point is that regardless they must be lilling him in chicago right now
That's cool igy, I acutally think the sixers have a shot now. I was trying to give you some bait. If the sixers beat the bulls, I'd be jacked and wouldn't worry about paying out 40$. Whatever though, it was just a thought. So sorry to freak you out.
Coach T, or Tibs as they call him out here did EVERYTHING wqrong. Rose has been hurt left and right this year. Why have him in the game with 1 min to go when the result is a given. Its his 1st full game back. He had no business in there, but farg the bulls. I think its hilarious, the airwaves oyut here are in straight panic mode LOL!!
Sorry igy, the Sved is flowing. My alternate bet was if the Bulls sweep you would be on the hook for 40$ if the Sixers win more then 2 games I'd pay you 40$. Otherwise the original bet is still there. Once again my bad for the confusion.
dont let it happen again
lol
LOL, so u want to take the alternate, or stay with the base bet?
original bet please...i apologize profusely for the confusion

ha--there was even an inkling of the sixers making a run with 5 to go. Bulls were up 20 I think. Thibodeaux had him in there so he could try to get his triple double. biggest fail ever by a coach.
god i hate simpleton sports fans
lol
1:20 to go up 12 and rose hadnt proved himself enough. 20 seconds more it was free throws throughout. rose was basically on one foot and barely missed a triple double against the sixers....but yeah lets keep my only star in the game to finish it out for psychological purposes...especially since the sixers have the stars and knack for making huge comebacks. like i said---horrendous.

jeru shinin like a gold nugget tonight
If they take this game they will take the series. They need to keep getting defensive boards and out on the break.
wow thad got shook on a "juke" from noah.
jrue is out of his mind right now.
maybe the best quarter the sixers have had in weeks. even ET is lookin like a man.
sixer swag is back
Don't understand the Evan Turner hate, he's being playing out of position most of the year and behind a bum like Meeks.
because he unbelievably annoying...hes hard to look at and impossible to listen to....hes a hate the face guy big time....he bitches non stop to the refs and talks shtein to elders like rip hamilton after he scores on them...he basically as unlikeable as it gets
i'm not going to jizz my pants over one quarter (any more) but that was early season sixers right there...you could even see it in their eyes.
Yeah that was pretty damn good.
Keep it the farg up!
i believe jerus career high is 30
be pretty big to get it in the playoffs on the road
Sixers fans should shout MVP! Friday when Thibodeau enters the arena. The Sixers might win this series because the Bulls look like they know they have no shot now that Rose is gone.

I just start cracking up when I think of ET talking shtein with that voice. Hamilton must be like "WTF is that?".
Igy, This will be the best freakin 20$ i ever spent if the sixers win this series. I might have to break out the Geiger jersey tomorrow. :-D
of course he had the white guy
anyway in the grand scheme of things what exactly does this win/series mean? they cant win a title with this group, but then again, there really is no direct move they can make to win one anyway.
do we just enjoy this for what is, even if it comes with an asterisk?
Ts always about race with you. :boo
theres no other possible explanation you could have for owning at matt geiger jersey
at no time was he a. good, b. likable, c. interesting or d. valuable
so unless you and him were best buddies what other conclusion do i jump to? you just happen to own a sixers jersey from the 2000's teams and it just happens to be the one white dude? no AI, no philly boy mckie, no deek, no esnow.
matt. geiger.
The hilarious part of all this is the fact that the sixers would get the winner of Atlanta and Boston, two teams that they won the season series against.
I own 2 sixer jerseys, an A. I. And Geiger. I think I got the #52 on clearence and it generates a ton of funny comments from people who have NO idea who he is. But if that's the first thing you think of when I mention that I own a Matt Geiger then its pretty sad.
there has definitely been many times where ET has deserved criticism, but last night was not one of them. this dude is the worst.

Another knee slapper is the season and playoffs are exactly alike.
Hawk just validated his ignorance with that statement. Reg season series means nothing in the playoffs. They don't face each other 4-7 straight games in the reg season so they face teams who are dealing with injuries or maybe in the middle of a slump or whatever. There's 1000 different reason why an inferior team could win 3 or 4 games against a superior team in the reg season. The Bulls swept Miami I beleive last year and got owned in the playoffs.
I think either team is a winnable series but reg season wins h2h don't mean shtein.

Actually I didn't. I was pointing out that the sixers would play two teams we've beaten in the regular season. Completely ignoring regular season record, the sixers match up well with the Hawks and Celtics and could beat either team. Congrats on pulling out an ESPN talking point about the bulls owning the heat in the regular season to try and attack my statement.
if they get to the ec finals it would easily be the worst team ever to make it that far
though i would gladly accept that in order to beat boston

The ironic part is that you were on record as wanting to face the bulls since the sixers have fared well against the bulls in the regular season.
Rose had a sprained ankle last year. A healthy Rose would have changed that Miami series.
Only stupidity on display is yours.
Spence is playing like he did at the start of the season.
for the greater good of blowing up this wretched team im kind of ok with them losing
ban?
Banned? Hell no. Welcome aboard.
So apparently the crowd cheered Noah's injury and booed that he walked off?
If anyone switched over to the Phils game, it's worth pointing out the Sixers have come back with an 18-2 run.
The 2o i owe Igy is worth every penny. the bulls fans out here are going to be suicdal
That was a helluva win!
The D really clamped down...

Without Hawes they'd be dead. The guards have been pitiful.

Easier team for what? A safe road to the title?
Easy, please stop being a homer.
I'm with MDS on the Celtics.
They have no chance (literally, none) of beating Miami in a 7 game series, so while ATL may be easier, what does it matter? I'd rather see them have the chance to take down Boston and all of their miserable fans who actually think they can beat MIA than to possibly beat ATL and get murdered by Miami.
(when Indiana beats Miami in the 2nd round I'll probably regret that sentiment).
[easy] yea but the pacers could be the heat, or lebron and wade could get aids and die. then durant and kobe could get into a helicopter crash. and san antonio could be hit by a mexican stampede. hooray! a parade that i wont go to. go sixers. [/easy]

It doesn't matter. I had them winning 1 game against the Bulls so they've already exceeded expectations. They still need changes over the summer...
lol what
you cant compare a team that can win the cup in a sport thats totally random to a team that under no circumstances can win a title in a sport that is largely defined
you stuck your hand in the homer jar and got caught, and instead of saying sorry mommy and sorry daddy you are jewing your way out of it.

50/50 the panthers would have beaten the flyers
0/100 the flyers were winning a cup this year
all time implosion if carter richards reverse MOCK you??
also you must realize the difference btwn the celtics sixers rivalry and the devils flyers?
Of course I do, so what? Am I supposed to want fierce divisional rivalries in the playoffs in every sport, even if it means your team gets eliminated? farg that. I want titles. I guess 2008 doesn't count because they didn't beat the Dodgers, Braves and Yankees in the same run?
and yea, a Rangers/Kings Cup final would be a kick in the balls. Maybe not like Pats/Giants II, but close...
According to some, 08 doesn't count because (a) they played the Rays and (b) the clinching game was suspended.
id much rather have a chance of beating the celtics and getting swept by the heat than having a chance to beat the hawks and getting swept by the heat
losing to the devils barely hurts at all because of the awesomeness of the pittsburgh series...imagine if they had beaten florida in the first round and then got rolled by the devils....would be a lot different
if your team has zero chance of winning the title why not look for the most intriguing playoff series to be in
if the sixers were a title contender then youd have an argument as it would make sense to want a team like boston out
titles trump all but rivalry series come next

I guess 2008 doesn't count because they didn't beat the Dodgers, Braves and Yankees in the same run?
it certainly counts...but i think even the biggest homer would admit it was a less than an ideal finish....beating the yankees in the 09 world series would have lapped 2008 by a trillion
phillies had a legit chance (obviously) to win the WS In 08 though. The Sixers have no shot, so who cares whether they're more likely to beat ATL? It isn't even that big of a difference anyway -- they probably only have a 5-10% better chance of beating ATL than they would Boston.
if the nba was a series of one game playoffs, that could be different because they could theoretically beat the heat once, but they can't do it in 7 games unless lebron and wade both blow out their ACLs so I'd rather see them play an entertaining series against Boston.

THE SIXERS CANNOT WIN A TITLE THIS YEAR. please understand this.
this is what this whole thing is about. they, in fact, dont even deserve to beat the bulls but are getting a gift from the injury gods. now they have a chance to play (and beat?) their hated rival, but you want the hawks because it would be an "easier" path to getting swept by miami.
easy.
I know they aren't winning anything. I don't even think this series is done yet and they could still lose all three. Beating an injured Bulls team doesn't hide the fact that their offense blows. What I want from these guys is to get far enough so some decent talent may finally say "You know what? Maybe these guys have something going on" and would want to come here to get this team to the next level, and IMO being a conference finalist looks better than losing in the 1st and 2nd round every year like Atlanta, Memphis and Utah. Yeah, I know there's cap issues all the time thanks to King and Stefanski, but I'm tired of players considering LA, NY, Florida, Dallas, etc, and signing MLEs with those guys to play with the superstars while we're stuck with leftovers like Tony Battie. The Boston/Atlanta crap doesn't matter because it's gonna be Boston anyway, the Celtics will win in 5 or 6, and the Sixers won't be any better next year and will continue to be 4th in this city...

Yeah, I know there's cap issues all the time thanks to King and Stefanski, but I'm tired of players considering LA, NY, Florida, Dallas, etc, and signing MLEs with those guys to play with the superstars while we're stuck with leftovers like Tony Battie. The Boston/Atlanta crap doesn't matter because it's gonna be Boston anyway, the Celtics will win in 5 or 6, and the Sixers won't be any better next year and will continue to be 4th in this city...
oh i see, management will suddenly try and start winning IF they reach the ec finals. but if they lose to boston they wont?

I know they aren't winning anything. I don't even think this series is done yet and they could still lose all three. Beating an injured Bulls team doesn't hide the fact that their offense blows.

Pretty sure they haven't gotten cable or internet in the shanty town you live in.
this game is uglier than evan turners face
Well...how about you catch the ball, Turner!?
farging ugly
Philly sports teams trying to go 3/3 in ugly farging games
Lavoy Allen is the leading scorer
that was literally at least the 5th 19 footer iguodala has shot this game. WTF is he doing shooting one step in front of the 3 pt line ALL game?
i think they have 4 points in the halfcourt
Awful.
it's rare when there isn't a single player who you can point to in terms of having a good game
shoot more jumpshots iggy.
what a pass by iggy on the break there to spence
how are they only down 9?
Jrue has been lights out in the fourth.

i don't think i've ever seen a player who does so many great and awful things in the same game.
Goddamn they can't get a good look inside and they cannot even get close to hitting a three footer!

yup..that was their chance at a run to make it a game and he killed it
it goes without saying now they have to win 6. they arent winning 7 in chicago.
Piss poor shooting effort...a solid three kicks in the nuts tonight
the only thing getting me confident for thursday is they could not be playing worse tonight, and yet, are only down 8 and never really been out of this game
iguodala was a joke tonight.....jesus christ
Just got a freebie to tonights game
over/under of 170 is the lowest NBA total since 2006
Couldn't have started worse. Nice opening shot by Iggy...airball.
Bulls shooting lights out...Sixers 2-7
Can we amnesty iggy midgame....
Jrue is the only reason they're in it.
Sidenote...iPhone autocorrect changed Jrue to Jesus.
im watching on an illegal feed because there is no nba tv at the office
i feel like this is hockey
cant believe how much they are up by getting just crushed on the boards....i dont think they have an offensive rebound and the bulls have to have close to ten
Hawesome.
Does Iggy even try to fight around screens or recover?
No.
Way to piss away the 12pt lead!
21-2 Bulls lead in second chance points
Each possesion gets worse. Horrible shots.
WTF was that Brand?
Can these clowns secure a rebound? farg!
Amnesty Brand during the time out.
Taj Gibson could die right now and still out rebound these fargers.
HOLY shtein GET A fargING REBOUND YOU iceholeS
this is hysterical
Perfect.
And Brand fouls that Asik or whatever his name is trying to get the board.
farging awful
they are getting outrebounded by twentyfarging five.....how are they even in this game
This is a farging embarrassment. Brand needs to pull his head out of his ass.
farging rip hamilton has more offensive rebounds than the sixers team and two less total rebounds than brand iguodala and thad combined
does cj watson have money on the sixers
Oh my goodness...come on. These guys are going to blow a 3-1 lead to a team without two of its best players
Let's just sit back and enjoy Iggy take this thing over. He knows he can do it.

He's been running circles around the defense all 4th quarter.
How farging easy was that. Good work Thad. He's been playing like a Hoyda this half.
Rik Smits reincarnated just stuck the dagger in.
Here comes an awful shot by Iggy.
Rik Smits! Good J!
lolol
Rikky Smits giveth and he taketh away.
WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW!
COME ON IGGY!
HIT YOUR GODDAMN FTS!!
I've had that same face Boozer just made the whole fourth quarter.
Who the farg was that?
What a pathetic victory. Luckiest bastiches on earth.
Awesome.
They had NO business winning that game. None!
CJ Watson and Omir Asik are the MVPs. Watson for giving up the ball to Asik and Asik for gagging on the FTs.
Props to Iggy for hitting his FTs
Woooo. And that's why I wanted the 15 seed and playoffs rather then the 14.

True...Watson was pretty awful.
And thank god they didnt call the foul on Holiday when he tried to hack Watson. Normally thats an auto call.

I would have bet my life savings igoudala had a better chance of missing both than making both.
i was for some reason strangely confident. i have no idea why, hes been so terrible from the line this year and especially late in the games.

game will be at 7 or 8 on tnt
7 if LA wins tonight (game 1 okc/la will follow)
8 if Den wins (game 7 den/la will follow)

easily the biggest hoops game in philly since game 4 of the nba finals in 2001. oh my god it is so on.
Fun game to attend. God Bless Iggy for making those two FTs. Brand is a travesty. blah blah blah

right before iggy shoots his 2nd free throw you see Doug leaning over and he can't watch.
That game was amazing last night. The amazing part was the place was as dead like a dive bar on a tuesday night for the first half. Then fans started filing in and Gibson [I think it was Gibson] got T'ed up and the crowd came alive.
even more amazing is that iggy was obviously trying to miss those FTs on purpose yet they still went it.

matty you posted a Sixers jacket a few months ago, I can't find it or the link. Can you repost it? How much was it? I saw this dope white Sixers jacket last night but the guy who bought it said it was a few years old. The only thing worth while they had in the store was a faded Sixers hoodie but that ran $70.
Forgot to mention, I saw a Royal Ivey jersey last night. Had to be custom made.
Kinda like the time I saw an Endy Chavez at CBP.
I can't wait for this series to start.
game 1 saturday
game 2 monday
game 3 wednesday
game 4 friday
at some point after that they are going to have to take a little break to let the west series catch up
and there you go
May 21: x-76ers at Boston, TBD
May 23: x-Boston at 76ers, TBD
May 26: x-76ers at Boston, TBD
Sixers in six.
I hope it goes 6. Will be in Vegas that week and want to hit up the new Palms sportsbook for the game. Also will be with a bunch of arrogant Boston fans.
if the sixers win tonight with pierce and allen pretty gimpy, i think they win the series. need to do it tonight.
biggest key to this series other than ray ray and pp injuries/age is the celtics secondary players...
sixers cannot allow brandon bass to go off and have any 17 rebound games....no double doubles for him...
avery bradley cannot be allowed to reach double figures....peitrus cant have a four or five made three pointer game
garnett should simply go wild in this series as the sixers have no answer for him...rondo is rondo....pierce will get his but andre should keep him somewhat in check...ray allen is just about done...you just have to properly switch on him when hes running baseline and not let him get free
its all gonna come down to how many points can the sixers score in this series...they are going to have all kinds of trouble in the half court we know this...but is it going to be defcon 5 trouble where they score in the high sixties to low seventies...or can they get to 80 which atlanta did in every game of the first round but one and that game they had 79...if they do the latter and i think they will for the most part then they win in six
lots of ifs and hmmms tho
i just want boston to die
even if it means so do the sixers im alright
so amped for this game....i just hope its close for a while....will be such a downer if they go down by 19 in the first half
Just got back and put the beers on ice.
Let's go Sixers!
Rebounding and transition game is what I think the keys are. Run those old fargs outta the gym.
if you are hoping for transition then might as well not watch....theres not a lot of transition in the postseason nba world...especially against a veteran team with a coach as good as doc
and rebounding should not be a factor at all....the celtics are a hideous rebounding team....
Would you say it's important then for the Sixers to make sure the C's remain a horrible rebounding team?
You're right but Doc can coach his ass off but he can't make them younger or faster. The Sixers half court offense is less than stellar so I think they have to run to win this series.
And yeah theyre awful rebounders but the Sixers have a way of letting people grab boards who have no business doing so
maybe its because their two biggest guys are knee-less washed up elders (bruizer brand) or creampuff marshmallows (hawes)

well the sixers themseves arent a very good rebounding team...of course every team wants to get more rebounds...but boards arent going to be a factor in the series like it was in the bulls series...in other words its not something to worry about right now

speed an youth have little to do with defending the transition game...you just have to know how to rotate properly on offense and not half ass getting back
With their rebounding woes, I'm glad they left Faried on the board.
jesus chris webber.....kill me now.....he is on an eric snow level
the fact that doc didnt call a timeout shows how little respect they have for the sixers
i hate evan turner like all you hate andre
jesus farging christ drew be strong
thats more like it....love how he made sure he went hard that time
Beautiful start...keep this shtein up!
i cant get over how passive rondo is...he hasnt tried to penetrate at all
Quote from: ice grillin you on May 12, 2012, 08:08:44 PM
i hate evan turner like all you hate andre
You mean Igwadala
oh my god dick stockton
they get them fresh legs and thats gonna help in games 1-4
speaking of turner why does doug have him on rondo....rondo can go around him anytime he wants...i suppose he thinks turner can deal with the screens better than jeru
i love every producer gives their announcers the same talking points regarding thad....he a tough matchup for a three cause hes so big and long and hes a tough match up for a four because hes so quick....but they fail to realize that he cant shoot or dribble so how can he take advantage of his size or quickness...and this in fact makes him not a very tough match up for anyone
iguodala is playing outstanding
did doug collins just tell his team to wait for an inured player??
that would be classic doug and be idiotic and awesome all at the same time
I was wondering what they were waiting for...but I thought shot clock was off. Lou hit his shot with 7.5 left
jodie meeks comes into the game and immediately loses ray allen
kill him
temple kid playin with some poise....putting the pretty head fake on the hall of famer
omg please get jodie meeks off ray allen doug

He's the best player on the court right now and Rondo only has two points. I'll put up with the shenanigans as long as he keeps his energy up.

it worked out good because it happened right by the sixer bench he was able to go over and tell him to simmer rather than sit him
that little mini run at the end of the half by boston was not good for the sixers
did you guys see those farg faces come in the sixers huddle and not one person do anything....especially creampuff hawes who they went right around
Nah I had the other team on...should've watched the halftime show instead
sixers were huddling by their sideline and rondo and garnett both walked into their huddle and just started listening in....not a single sixers even looked at them the wrong way...it was embarrassing

Jesus...throw an elbow or something.
Nice of them to give the lead up. Come the farg on!
Here we go with one of those 7 point 3rds again
you knew they were gonna go into one of their patened scoring droughts...but at least it was when they were up 11 not down four when it happened
coming out of the locker room jeru has taken two bad shots completely out of the scope of the normal offense that has really taken them out of their game
jeru is so terrible right now...you turn the ball over...then you farging play ole defense and committ a fingertip foul there....bullshtein
farg yeah temple....i love the way hes playing in this game...rookie at boston garden contributing
great pass by erkel
god is iguodala so good at pushing the ball out....but somehow he isnt good at finishing even tho he has the total skill set to do it...its one of the strangest things ive ever seen in basketball

sd how devastating would this loss be if the celtics win...the sixers playing their best game of the year winning for 99% of the game then lose
I was just thinking that...theyve given Boston a good shot and to lose this game would be devastating.
Ah come on...rebound!!
And hit your FTs, Thad.
I said Celts in 5 so I'm expecting them to lose this game
Any doubt when Doug was emphasizing 'poise' he was thinking about Turner
Can't let them leak out like that, Jrue and Iggy.
Jrue can't hit shtein
Good D by Hawes after brutal pass by Iggy.
It's amazing how good they were at times in the second half during the regular season and how bad they've been in the playoffs
if they lose its because jeru refuses to stop shooting low % jumpers

Lou....what the farg!!! farg you!
farging Lou you stupid shtein. Pass the ball.
And that sequence is why the Sixers won't even come close in this series. You can't miss on a two on 1 layup then soft fout Garnett on a shot he makes. Terrible.
Lou is so bad. Great take when you had Young open. Then Rondo shows him what he shoulda done down the other end.
that was the softest weakest most disgraceful take ive ever seen....cut your farging jheri curl off and become hard you suburban atlanta POS

farg YOU LOU!!!
you cant bury your shoulder seven feet from the basket lou
I hate Lou. I really do.
Another farg up by Lou...
Make that THREE farg ups!
Get Lou outta there!!
Game over.
lou williams is the sixers finisher and pierce and garnett are the celtics
god damnit do they have no clue how to play at this level
Can't wait for him to opt out. Streaky shooters who don't play d aren't hard to find.
Holy shtein take Lou out of the farging game already. Call a farging time out and send his ass to the locker room for the night. He single handidly cost them this game.
And yeah I know someone has to take these shots but he's forcing brutal shots and losing his handle on the ball.
Opt out and go rot in farging Sacramento, Lou!
4 pts the second half of the 4th qtr.

LOSERS. What a way to end.
lol @ having someone on the ball there with a foul to give
nice job doug
thats all doc rivers there drawing it up...but erkel has to know the score...you are down in the game you dont need to defend the basket by staying btwn your man and the rim....you need to front him
Lou and Jrue....but mainly Lou are the goats.
That three play sequence by Williams was just flat awful.
let's be honest, they weren't getting it done with 3 seconds left anyway
game was there for the sixers, they didnt even need a finisher, they just needed lou to not be awful. didn't happen down the stretch.

not really any one player to blame...did you really expect lou to finish against boston at the garden in the playoffs....hes just not gonna make tough shots there...the largr problem is that they have no sets to run in that scenario
if you are gonna hammer someone it should be jeru...his shot selection in the second half imo allowed boston to get back in the game...not single handedly or anything but he had five shots in a row in the late third early fourth that were just inexcusable...if you are paul pierce and having a tought night then year you keep shooting jumpers (and shooting in general)...but you are jeru...when you are clearly having an off night for three quarters then you either take the ball to the basket or move the ball thru your offense...yet he kept jacking terrible low % jumpers
that sucked. i was at a dc bar with maybe 75 TVs, i changed one of them to the sixers game because they were all on caps game 7 and probably 200 people booed me, but no one did anything.
sixers still win in 6.
and thats why ET is a bitch, dude can't even outrun someone for a ball when he should have expected that.
the celtics timeout, doc was like, rondo you run and then we win.
all the flowers you planted in the backyard....died.....when you went away....i know that living with you was sometimes hard....but im willing to give it a try
LETS DO THIS game two!!
Quote from: ice grillin you on May 12, 2012, 05:58:42 PM
biggest key to this series other than ray ray and pp injuries/age is the celtics secondary players...
sixers cannot allow brandon bass to go off and have any 17 rebound games....no double doubles for him... (10 and 4)
avery bradley cannot be allowed to reach double figures (7)....peitrus cant have a four or five made three pointer game (0-2)
garnett should simply go wild in this series as the sixers have no answer for him (29 and 11)...rondo is rondo (triple double)....pierce will get his but andre should keep him somewhat in check (14) ...ray allen is just about done (12)...you just have to properly switch on him when hes running baseline and not let him get free
its all gonna come down to how many points can the sixers score in this series...they are going to have all kinds of trouble in the half court we know this...but is it going to be defcon 5 trouble where they score in the high sixties to low seventies...or can they get to 80 which atlanta did in every game of the first round but one and that game they had 79...if they do the latter and i think they will for the most part then they win in six (they got 91)
keep thinking about the game the other night and its so frustrating...the sixers literally did everything they should have and more and the celtics were pretty much exactly what we thought they were do and they still lost....what a killer
sixers need a go to scorer in the worst way
lou murdered them in the last 5 minutes, so disappointing.
Yep - Lou The icehole gave away three possessions at the end. Score on one of those and its different.
As for what Igy is saying - I was thinking about the go-to scorer thing too and how nice it would be to have AI in his prime on this squad.
what a disgraceful start
one of these first two games was going to be a 20 pt loss....and because they blew their wad in game one this is the blowout game...thats why its such a crusher losing on sat they way they did
they were never winning this series to begin with
homer
if they had won game 1 they were winning in six
yeah son c webb comparing andre and magic
miss more bunnies please
how are they only down 4 at the end of 1
it feels like they should be losing by 20
celtics went ice from the floor is how
get jodie meeks out of the game...40 year old bone spurs ray allen is taking him to the basket...GET EM OUT!
if they ever get a legit center voy can be a lethal 4
that 12 footer is $
Quote from: MDS on May 14, 2012, 07:34:13 PM

lol...stop it....hopefully he becomes a good piece as a rotational front line guy...he will never be a lethal anything....no one has covered him in the league yet...he gets as many open jumpers as he wants right now
he also needs to hit the weight room this offseason....hes too doughy
btw more than ever if they dont amnesty elton brand this offseason then the whole franchise should be nuked
if he was a black dood from the sec youd be IN
but since hes a white dood (with black skin) from MA you are OUT
the sec sucks at basketball....plus how much i like someone has nothing to do with their game and what they might or might not becomes....if you knew an ounce about basketball youd know lavoy farging allen will never be lethal
there seriously cannot be a more worthless 7 footer on the planet than spencer hawes
rondo is so farging ill
fargign settle down andre you spazz....everything hes doing is 100 miles an hour
at what point in andres career is he going to realize he cant beat anyone off the dribble?
hes got speed and hops but once that aint there he needs to pull out and set up the halfcourt. he aint AI.
That was a flop and the first charge Hollins was moving laterally. Meh.
hawes get the ball four feet from the front of the rim and tries a bounce pass to lavoy....wtf??
jerrrruuuuuuu showing up tonight
god dammitt jodie meeks....farging terrible around that screen...everytime hes in the game bad things happen
all things considered being down 2 at the half isnt bad
though i just dont see how they can win a gut check road game against 3 hall of famers
It's utterly amazing they're only down by 2 at the half. I feel like the Celtics have been doing whatever they please when they please. We all know tonight is not going to end well.
they pretty much have done what theyve wanted but they fortuinately missed a lot of shots....bass got a little puffy chested after he made those first few shots and started throwing everything up and missed them all
what exactly does shaq do?
its amazing how bad they are right now
Passing, shooting, ball control all blow ass right now.
they seriously cannot complete a simple pass right now
both turner and iguodala have been undescribably bad tonight...combined they have 2 fg and 8 TO
"No points for Philly here in the third" as they go to commercial. Pretty sure I saw Brand hit a FG.
lou gets in the lane nicely breaks down the d and sets hawes up for a wide open 12 footer and he bricks it
No one can make a farging basket.
was that scottie pippen or andre iguodala
NBA Playoffs? WTF is this?
Quote from: ice grillin you on May 14, 2012, 08:28:15 PM

lol @ elton trying to get off the floor...i dont know if its more sad or embarrassing at this point
this free throw shooting is a disgrace
I feel like I'm watching the farging Globetrotters. Sad thing is the Sixers are the ones who look like the Washington Generals.
Sixers shoot free thows worse than a high school team.
this is the ugliest quarter of basketball ive seen in a while

Like Barkley said at the half the Celtics are just dicking around. They're treating this like a pickup game at the local rec center.
damn and the Sixers come out of the timeout hot...imagine if they could learn to hit free throws
lol don I was following on ESPN gamecenter tho
Keep the pressure on!!
Let's goooo

Can't blame them. That's what most of the third quarter looked like.
I'm more excited to see them actually pull off a successful bounce pass after that shtein we saw for 2 1/2 Q's.
The free throws, iceholes...farging hit them!!
Igwadala 2-7 from the free throw line tonight
if the sixers score on this opening possession they will have had double digit 4th quarter leads in both games so far
Ok boys lets farging go...d this shtein up and win
c's comin at them
lets see if they can even match this level
omfg....i hate the celtics so much exactly cause of shtein like that
Get Hawes off the farging court!! His defense is atrocious.
You could see that Pietrus play coming a mile away when they didn't box out for the board
And now he hits another one.
I cant deal with webber any longer.
And thad's D? Not so much.
perimeter defense
theyre old worst enemy

Best part about this is it's bringing out all those reasons I couldn't stand the Celtics as a kid. I haven't had this feeling of pure Celtic hate in years.
Oh, and farg the Cowboys.
i know its easier said than done but sixers need to push the ball even on made baskets if they can at all....they cant get trapped into that pattern of the ball ending up in a half court set with lou 28 feet from the basket
Agreed...do not fall into The Lou Zone or settle for low percentage jumpers
oh my god evan turner is so out of his element
this aint a pick up game in columbus you nerd
erkel is such a farging POS...he has more TO than pts tonight
ET is so bad. Watch him on D or O. He does nothing.
Bad call on the out of bounds on Allen
Atta boy Iggy!

he literally doesnt know what to do on defense...completely lost....his last two rotations to garnett have cost them five pts
was that string in that space invaders movie??
iguodala has been absolutely brilliant on pp tonight
:-D Turner. Useless.
bench ET now
good farging god ET
erkel = braindead....hes so scared right now
The look on Doug's face after ETs farg up was priceless.
Can someone D up Garnett?!?!
Lou...jesus
Oh look a touch foul on Allen...awful
Team has no swag. ET does but its incredibly misplaced.
Other teams elevate in the 4th. Sixers shrink. All year.
Someone shut this crowd up.
so when kg is 16 feet from the basket erkel doubles him...but when hes got lavoy on the half circle zero help from anyone
does anyone (including the sixers) believe the sixers will win this game?

They *should* win it because the Celtics don't get worse than this.
OMG that lone Sixer fan looks as bad as the team on the court.
SIXER MAGIC!!
nice foul evan
farg Kevin Garnett.
As much as i wanted ET to punch Garnett in the nuts while hanging from the rim, I wanted Garnett to knee ET in the head.
Can Dick Stockton go any deeper on Garnetts shaft?
Hahahah he for away with a travel
that was embarrassing...the one thing erkel usually does consistently is rebound
Collins please get this farging moron off the court. farg you Turner!
Disgusting rebounding again
Disgusting perimeter defense...again
what on gods earth was that posession....lololo
Oh my god...come on! Awful Jrue
there you go erks
holy shtein they are Ding up and answering back
win or lose they aint shook
Go farg yourself Turner. Bout time icehole.
Nice job ET!
D the farg up!! No three balls and rape KG if you have to
kill yourself webber
great man up there on everyones part
Nice d to force Allen to take a fall away
Ugh

O

Ahahahahahhaha
farg you KG

This is the most fun I have ever had watching crappy bball.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEKK3GVd150
free throws were obviously important but you dont get to that point without the offensive execution down the stretch which is what weve wanted all along
i might be forgetting one but i dont believe they missed a shot in the last four minutes of the game starting with that miracle bank shot by lavoy at the shot clock
oh they had the shot clock violation when jeru went comatose...but i believe that was their only possesion that didnt end in pts in the last at least four minutes of the game
no hyperbole but that may have been the best 4th qtr theyve played all year, even without the game being as big as it was
ive never seen them execute like that

holy shtein barkley just said the funniest thing i think ive ever heard about c webb...i wont even do it justice but its gonna me on youtube tonight at some point
so stealing a game on the road when no expects it is easy...gonna be very interesting to see how they come out at home in a real series now
im watching the phils what did he say
that was fun.
and i'm not sure what game everyone here was watching but ET was not nearly as horrible as what i've just read here.
he had more TOs than shots made and was -15.
Barkley and co are vastly overrating the Celtics. Sixers shouldn't win this series, but it's like 60/40. Not like they're playing the Heat.

He said " I love you C-Webb but get some green grease on your hair, nappy head". I agree with IGY, I didn't know if he was going for a young Don Cornelius, or Buckwheat. Classic!! and farg Shaq, his feet were not set, he threw an elbow at Jrue and then stepped into Andre. Kenny can kiss it, thats not fighting through it and yes the players on the bench were excited. I'm starting to believe in this team a little bit.
Kg finally gets called for one of his blantant illegal screens. I loved the way Allen played as well.

yo boston....

anyone going on friday?
i was all set to go but then decided against it....this is really fun but knowing this is a mirage and they have no chance to really do anything this year i decided against spending the money....plus i cant stand being at games in philly when theres a million boston fans
Are the Celtics fans that show up at Wells Fargo die hards who road trip down from Boston or just a bunch of wannabe Red Sox Nation after births?
Shady McCoy believes in them.
Igys right. We shouldn't talk about the Garnett screen even though it is the most talked about moment of the game.

tons of new englanders go to philly colleges...transients living down there in general...and people from the area who jumped on boston because they are the celtics...its also celtic fans who dont just live in the delware valley...if you live in baltimore or north jerz this is a rare chance to see your team in a playoff game...to answer your question very few are travelling from boston to see an nba game...altho this friday has the red sox at the bank....i wouldnt be suprised if a lot of people who are from boston come down for that and then end up going to the basketball game friday instead
I hope all of the filthy Boston fans go to Genos after the games
So Pacers/Sixers next round...wouldn't that be something.

ps please cover rondo
did paul pierce fly to europe after game two and get that magic kobe bryant procedure
sweet looooooooooooooooooooooooo
btw for a playoff game theres a shteinload of celtic fans there its just that all the seats that are normally empty are filled with sixer fans...when the celtics just took the lead the cheer was really loud
jesus farg elton knock that down
No one can hit a farging jumper, which they shouldn't be settling for anyway.
Well, so much for this.
they actually are shooting the ball well...and they have missed a few bunnies and dunks
celtics cant miss tho...boston is getting the same shots theyve gotten in the first two games but everything is going down tonight
need a stop here and they will go in the lcoker room on a nice little mini run
this is where meeks should be in the game
what a brutal end
how many farging lay ups and three footers are they going to miss tonight
watch jodie meeks and jeru on that rondo drive to end the half...just awful defense
Season's over. Time to move on.
20pt lead
Way to sustain the good start, iceholes
not their night....they will win friday
well this is terrible
Disgusting.
Celtics just won't miss!!
Someone have that fat dude who flashes his gut eat Rajon Rondo
get um Friday
no team in the nba would have beat the celtics last night.
this is still a series.
PLEASE win tonight!?!?!

thats a touch pass erkel....you dont catch the ball and dribble on a 3-1 break so you can be fouled

Yep. No half court game whatsoever and Turner looks like shtein.
More bad passes on the interior and flat out dumb shots.

Vucevic has shown some touch, why not try him over Hawes since he's been absolutely worthless.
vucevic wont be in the nba in three years....hawes is as disgraceful as it gets but be real...when ayou are calling for vucevic then the series is over

vucevic wont be in the nba in three years....hawes is as disgraceful as it gets but be real...when ayou are calling for vucevic then the series is over
How can he play any worse than Hawes. When Hawes can't even hit his open jumper he has no place.
trust me he can play a lot worse than hawes...in fact hes hawes but smaller less skilled and all around worse
id put him in for erkel tho
. Put in Faried then?
hopefully this is the last time et, hawes and igy are in sixer white

wow they culd be down by only eight right here
or not
you know whats the worst thing about them right now is that they just dont care...if a call goes the other way...or they miss a shot...you rarely ever see them get pissed...its like oh well lets go back on d and maybe well convert next time down
they are the opposite of their coach...and maybe thats for a reason
Come on...time for a run
Celtics are allowing the sixers to stick around and the sixers aren't cutting into the lead.
six
just amazing
Someone kill Rondo. Please.
Get some meth head from north Philly to lead pipe his knee
rondo made the shot anyway so its not a big deal but id like to see the foul on jeru there....looked like great d great shot to me
whose in line behind me to hit zoey deschanel in that iphone commerical
i dare anyone to rewind their dvr to the rondo drive against jeru on the three point play and find a foul...cause i cant do it
Yeah it's played out...shake rattle and roll!
STOP WITH THE LONG JUMPERS!!
Brandon Bass and the C's hit them. The Sixers don't but yet they take them all the farging goddamn time
boooooooooooooooooom jeru
Lavoy should play over Hawes

lol...yeah im not down with the conspiracy theories...especially after the sixers getting the calls in boston...but there just wasnt a foul on that rondo drive
words cant describe how much i hate erkel
This is the type of low scoring shtein show that the sixers can win.
I usually shy away from conspiracy too...unless Stern and his league is involved.
Come on boys...give us another run.

ill never understand how you can like the nba and say its one big conspiracy....that doesnt compute to me....either you believe in it and love it or you believe its rigged and should never watch it again
lol at the mic picking up collins saying "you saw that shtein"
That sequence in the paint was maddening! Three inch jumpers and put backs missed!!!
Back up to 15...their shot to catch up is gone.
They're a goddamn mess.
that rotation by thad was just pathetic on the pietrus three...erkel already slid over....why did he come down
No doubt Boston sinks a three to end the half.
doris summed that up...."inexcusable"...jeru just didnt care....he was weak soft and gave no effort against rondo...let him go around and gave a weak attempt at a ball poke as he did it...i agree what with j posted from whatever dood said these player are OUT on this team and coach
9/39 from the field and 13/21 from the line
Playoffs.
such a joke
what makes it even worse is that they have had high % shot attempts
this is not game 3 where they were buried on the offensive end
lets go watch the phillies #realphillythoughts
Boston isn't good either Doris.
jesus nice grab erkel

someone put a bullet in andres head
thats a great play by erkel to set creampuff up....he has to hit that shot for christ sake...thats all they ask him to do
Get close and then start with the dumb shtein again.
Stupid clown pass by Iggy and another bad shot the possession after
Igy ruined that run. Rondo wasn't even on the defensive end.
Awwwwww farg your mother Paul Pierce!
iguodalal just isnt in this game
have i mentioned lately how much i hate erkel
please stop talking to the refs....you are as a big a joke to them as you are to everyone else
btw i graduated high school with the dood he was talking to
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Lol. The ridiculous Turner hate continues. He helped win game two.

is anyone laughing at lou checking pp on these last few posssesions
jesus christ thad you have to make that
if boston has any doubt they hack cause they know no sixer is ever making 2-2 at the line
The close game is pitiful...gotta make the put backs!!
Let's farging gooooooo
Keep spazzy mcspazzerson ET away from the ball
great call....not many refs wuld make that
This is amazing.
Nice pass erkel.
low lower lowest set there
boston know how to go hard to the rim....sixers and all their youngins arent sure what to do....but they better learn real quick that you cant hesitate...you have to go hard
im so proud of this team right now...what a comeback...at the same time doug has to enforce the fact that they need to be strong...eveything espcially on the offensive end of the floor has to be hard and all out...dont let the refs make the call force them to make the call
How was that not a foul?!?
Finish goddamit
Come on!!
nobody on the team wants to shoot cept lou
Need smart shots and to finish when close
Yes!
No!
jesus when rondo is knocking those down its probably no the sixers night
when rr hits a shot off a one step dribble its probably time to go home
its lou or die
Lou has been the game changer tonight
Along with Lavoy and Thad scrappin
Kill Rondo!!
please please please!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's also funny when you nitpick my comments when I'm one of the only ones who wanted them to make the playoffs.

yessir. win game 5, win the series.
win at home in game six.....i will cry if this happens
for some reason though i cant count them out of winning game 7 in raciston
they had no business winning 2 or 4 so why cant they do it? but obviously they need to win 5

I hope that Doug pounds it in their heads to stay away from the low % jumpers and keep it in the paint. Rondo is going to get his, Garnett will probably have a bounce back game...so the key I think is to control Pierce.

Got my reservation for Lagasse's Stadium for game 5. The only question is how much money to bet on the SIXERS.

Swell, Stockton and Weber.
lol at Stiemsma being called a fan favorite...wonder why that is
sully o'sullivan and ian mcfreckleface have a type, dont they?
How was that a foul on Thad?
Old school Chevy.
refs are taking their criticism of being pro-sixers to heart.
damn they're shooting lights out tonight. Hope it carries over to the 2nd half .
The doubling has been effective.. keep it up.
And holy shtein iggy.
Igwadala shoved that down KGs throat
i feel like they should be up more than 3
No FTs for the Sixers??

Lavoy Allen fell in a well.
jrue jasucks
14-4 BOS run.
Come on!!
Kill Bass.
Thad Young is awful
I guess they don't believe in playing defense against Bass?
Super pass, Thad.
celtics are going to win this game solely because of the line
Doug is using Lavoy to stiffle Stiesma.
celtics keep getting dunks. every possession.
should be game. sixers can't get to the line and the celtics are living there, and when they aren't they're getting dunks.
Yeah all dunks all the time.
Bad 3rd quarter.
Let's farging go!
man thad's heads not been in the game
Thad has been awful all game. He's had a down year and aside from a game or two has been bad these playoffs.
Jrue has been bad too.
2 pts last 7 or so minutes
Shut up Doug
doesn't help that the celtics are getting every call in the lane this game. every one. i'm sure most have been fouls but they are getting quick whistles inside this game.
no points this quarter, not going to cut it. they had a shot this game too.
Yep. Touchy calls in the paint.
Bass had 18 in the third...more than the Sixers.
Awful! They look farging awful.
Celtics are allowed to mug the sixers... Sixers get called for touch fouls
8 FTA by Philly
23 FTA by Boston
yea that wasn't a foul on turner.
they arent as good as the celtics and they cant match this level of play
it just is
Oh look! Another foul!
This time it's called after the shot rims out.
Oh look! Another turnover!
Another missed shot!
farging bullshtein.
webber needs to kill himself.
preferably traveling back in time prior to the sixers getting him.
this should have happened in game 4 and either game 1 or game 2
what took the c's this long to wake up i dont know. maybe rondo will tear his acl in game 6?
Disgusting inexcusable and lackadaisical game.
farging great effort.
yea i mean how are they gonna win the nba title now?
Well. That was fun.
Winning game 7 in Boston is the way it has to be [/igs]

I gotta get the hat he was wearing.
Good opening qtr...kinda sloppy on the long passes tho
yeah it was, i love him. looked like he was gettin a little teary eyed before coming out.

That's a horse shtein call right when Sixers start making their run.

farging thad is so soft
rondo is out working the whole team.
those two strips rondo had on thad were disgusting
someone is playing in game 6 of the ecsf, the other is playing against the wizards in february
Stop the goddamn schizo pace! If the fast break isn't there slow it down and find a lane and drive to the farging rim.
Avoid the 3rd qtr doldrums too...you know BOS is gonna adjust and come out ready like last time

bring the ball up
and make a move to the hoop
dont let some pip squeek meekly poke it away from you
10/26 at the line. Super.
The piss poor FT shooting drives me farging insane. Fundamentals! Goddamn!!
It's about to get ugly.
Crowd is dead and so is the offense
you know the sixers are in one of their patented ruts when their offense is spencer hawes trying to screen and hand the ball off at the same time
Why are our teams offensively challenged?!
Jesus Shuttleworth has no legs left. He cannot elevate.
Which means he will drain a huge three at the end
The FTs....HIT THEM YOU SONOFABITCHES!

like whoa
His name is ANDRE IGUODALA!
that is the game changer.
Quote from: phattymatty on May 23, 2012, 09:41:34 PM
that is the game changer.
at least until they give up a offensive rebound layup to a point guard anyway
and then a three point play
or until they foul a fadeaway.
Nice pass by Iggy.
Come on...a 10-0 run is needed
BEAT LA
BEAT LA
lol at boston killer
boston strangler you dope hubie
i dont even mind if rondo wants to cheat and offensive rebound....but when the sixers get the board they have to have someone who has released to take advantage of the celtice having not enough numbers back and they dont EVER do that
rondo has knocked at least 7-8 rebounds out of sixers' hands.
Weren't they fast breaking and leaking out earlier?
My farging god with the FTs!
looks like a sniper just hit pierce on that one.
The zesty FT shooting and settling for farging stupid long jumpers are gonna make me stroke the farg out
Nothing like sloppy, messy, zesty playoff basketball.

no...they had a few fast break points in the first half...but none were out of a half court set missed shot by boston....there were on turnovers

Yeah, nice foot fake too Hubie.
man did he get bailed out
i know its par for the course in the nba with superstars but lou got fouled on his runner with no call and pierce gets a whistler befoe he even shoots
ray ray in his prime was a bad defender but now he literally cant play that end of the court at all
If that wasn't steps sure was damn close.
Close this motherfarger out.
Pietrus walked. No call.
Agree on the fouls, Celtics getting away with murder.

watch out for a celtics trey here and then a run
a stop and its over

Almost go time...I want this win so damn bad. I'm sick of hearing the Celtics love and no Sixers talk from the national guys.
From Dennis Deitch today; Mike Callahan is one of the refs tonight. Why is this important?
Callahans last ten Sixers games = Sixers 1-9
Callahans last ten Celtics games = Celtics 9-1
Callahan, Boston. How appropriate.
Igy and mds petitioned ABC for Doris Burke to get on this broadcast.

That farging spazz ET needs to slow it down.
2 shots, 2 bricks
he had this "ive got this" look on the 1st one. loser.
Wish Doug would have read Hollinger's article on how much ET has killed them this series.
Elton Brand is the guy tonight. He wants it. Ride his broken ass to the ECF's.
Lavoy needs to be smarter.
big shot EB
looked like they were gonna get run early but its only 3 now
EB threw a shoulder in Stiemsma as they were walking off
Let's gooooooo
Iggy with a big three and Louuuuuu with the and one!!
doc funholes his way to the ref and all of a sudden everything is a foul
Yeah Doc whines his ass off
Atta boy Lavoy!!
Ah come on! Stupid farging turnovers!
3rd time jrue just tossed it away in the lane.
Yeah Jrue needs to be smarter than that.
Thad and ET...don't be space cadets tonight yah?
nice acting job you valacoraptor
No chance tonight if Jrue continues to no show.
Oh farg you Garnett...that was a goddamn flop
Sixers offense is back into sucky land
Awful sequence there...
Need a big run...let's go. Smarten the farg up iceholes
Rolling into someones foot 3 seconds after they release is a foul?
Oh I see
Hawes falls down or gets knocked down and they call a foul on him?
Boston is not very good and the Sixers have to take advantage of their sloppiness and weak bench.
Let's farging goooooo
lol @ eb trying to chase kg up the court
am. nes. teeeee
Jrue is playing like poo
Iggy!!
waste of space hawes strikes again
god forbid they could get someone to protect the rim
Ah farg...another bad possession and now they get an and one
29% shooting...stop taking jumpers!!!
Clang. Clang.
Pierce is such a funhole...always with that crybaby face
Oh my god with that goddamn in bounds pass! Why does this team struggle with that?!?!?
Goddamn!!!!
this is lou's last game as a sixer
anyone sad? nope. OK.
2 shots made over 15ft for the sixers I believe. Hawes has been awful. Such an ugly half even by their standards.
They should be thankful to only be down 8 with how farging zesty they've played.
Are they allergic to paint? Is there a force field there? Did someone fart?
Go inside!

AI aint runnin them halls no more. remember they were and 8 seed that got 2 gift injuries in the first round and are playing a mediocre, elder team right now.
they need size and scoring. it was true 2 months ago and its true now.
Has Nik Vucevic been snuffed by the Russian mob? Could he be worse than Hawes?
I'd like to see more Lou, Iggy and Jrue driving the lane
Hawes jumpshot is so far off tonight.
Ray Allen is dead I think.

Oh are you farging kidding me?!
Spazz loses it and then throws it away! And of course Boston scores.

ET has to have 4-5 TOs tonight whether credited to him or not. Just seems like their heads are in the clouds. Blech
Oh and thad seems scared all playoffs.
Jesus. Now they drive and have them blocked
Hit your farging fts
Nice run!
Not so nice foul shooting by Iggy...0-2 farg!
He's 13-31 in the series!!
im going to shoot iguodala in the face if he misses another free throw
Then I'm quite sure iguodala will be getting shot in the face tonight.
I will never know how iggy made those FTs vs Chi.

1/2!

Yeah Garnett is lethal from outside and they need to keep it away from him. Top of the key jumpers are his money shot
Clang. Jesus. All night.
Well I see they still wanna shoot 18fters...
Yo come on!
HIT YOUR fargING FREE THROWS
Hey looky here...another bricked FT
Can someone make a farging free throw.
Boston can.
If only anyone could hit a jumper.
Kick Jrue in his farging balls!

Sixers needed someone to step up. Iggy played well but had some brainfarts. No guards made an appearance.
They should have won this farging game.
I want answers as to why such a poor shooting team continues TO TAKE OUTSIDE SHOTS.
Why don't they drive the farging ball?
shut up

Howard or Bynum aren't happening but I can't wait till Iggy and Hawes are off the team. Bag on Turner all you want but he has upside and can fill in for Iggy. I'm not even gonna hate on Iggy, he had a nice playoffs and exceeded my expectations but this is as far as you're going to go with him so what's the point of keeping him around. Once Pierce fouled out they needed to step up but didn't. Sucks but that's why I'm shteinfaced right now.
ET only has upside if he can develop an outside shot. He isn't athletic enough to get to the hole with consistency unless he develops a threat to knock down shots so that people have to play up on him. I can't stand any more of the crash into someone's body and throw your arms in the air move.
Lou and Thad, two of their best players, were AWOL most of the playoffs. Brand tried but he has nothing left. Hawes is garbage. I thought Allen looked overwhelmed tonight, but he stepped up most of the playoffs. Holiday has the ability but he's still waaaay too hit or miss.
Lou actually made up for his mediocre play with several big shots but Young was playing like he was in the witness protection program. Horrible series for him.

First step would be to play him on a consistent basis. I know Doug hates him but at least he came to his senses during the playoffs. Don't get me wrong I'd have no problem moving the guy in the right situation but at the same time he's an adequate replacement for Iggy and there's no need to go any further with Captain FT.
Thad has had a horrible season. I don't know if he just said farg it after he got his extension but he hasn't been the same player. You saw little spurts of the old Thad here and there but overall he's had a bad season. Lou Will I'd like to keep but I'm not breaking the bank to do so.
sd your mantra for two years was trade iguodala because thad is an nba starting three waiting to happen and would be much better than andre....theres about as much of a chance of et now doing that than there was thad...altho obviously turner has a better game
i wouldnt think twice about moving iguodala but his replacement is not on the roster
that was embarrassing last night. boston was shooting like shtein, turned the ball over, and a bad flow to their offense and the sixers played exactly like them.
once again their jv offense took court and got exposed for the zesty inconsistent shooters they are. hawes shouldnt of even got in the car to come to the game. matter of fact he should either look into broadcasting or get shipped to the d league right now.
and nobody is to be moved to a particular position to make up for someone else. this team has overhaul written all over it. if i had to choose id keep jrue and maybe turner if gained 15 lbs in the offseason and hired reggie miller as his personal coach.

I think Turner killed them this series to be honest. Shot a very low %, was awful with +/-, was too slow to cover Rondo and not rangy enough to cover Pierce, and turner the ball over too frequently. The only thing he consistently brought was rebounding.
IF he develops a jumper, he will be a good player, so I'm not recommending shipping him off for nothing, but his jumper is as bad as it was at OSU right now.
I have no problem keeping Iggy unless they get a good deal. He only has two years left, right? He's evolved his game enough to realize he isn't an offensive superstar. I'd certainly move him for the right package, but it isn't a necessity.

Sometimes you have to take 2 steps back to take 1 step forward. I'll concede they're a better team with Iggy at the 3 when he plays the way he's capable of playing but this past series was the pinnacle of his time here and I don't see much of a bright future. He's worth keeping just for his dazzling dunks and defense but what is the end result in keeping him? Who knows what they have with ET, some times he's damn good other times he's brain dead, but I think they owe it to the team to find out what they have. Guys been in the league for 2 seasons and this is the first time he's gotten serious PT.
My bottom line on Iggy/ET is one of them has to be moved. You're either going to move Iggy so ET can get more playing time or you're moving ET for a big man or a shooter. I really have no preference and although I'm an Iggy hater he had his best season despite his stats not telling the whole story.
And say what you want about getting a shooter - because as we've all seen they need to hit the open looks - but this is still a league that still revolves around the play of your big men. You get a guy who can play well in the paint and the rest of the court opens up. I actually wouldn't mind Hawes coming back as a rotation guy but that's unrealistic because someone is going to overpay him because he's tall and can be plugged in to start.
Some times the best moves are the ones you don't make. Odom playing up to his potential would have been a good idea but they must have known he was a head case.
QuoteAndre Iguodala was nearly traded from the Philadelphia 76ers to the Los Angeles Lakers last June. In the hours leading up to the 2011 NBA Draft, the two teams were discussing a potential deal that would've sent Iguodala to Los Angeles in exchange for several pieces including Lamar Odom and a draft pick.
The Lakers were ready to pull the trigger on the deal and the Sixers strongly considered it. However, Philadelphia ultimately turned down the trade because they believed that Odom would be unhappy and unmotivated after being dealt from Los Angeles.
After watching Odom struggle with the Dallas Mavericks and get dismissed from the team in April, there's no question that Philadelphia made the right decision. Their read on Odom was entirely accurate – he had the worst year of his career, averaging 6.6 points and 4.1 rebounds – and now they find themselves one game away from the Eastern Conference Finals.
However, if the Sixers are eliminated by the Boston Celtics in Game 7, the general consensus around the league is that they'll try to trade Iguodala this summer. Even with Philadelphia's recent success, league sources insist that Iguodala is a player who could be moved this offseason if the right offer comes along.
The Lakers, who are looking to shake their roster up this offseason, are expected to once again emerge as a potential suitor for Iguodala. The 28-year-old would be an excellent fit for Los Angeles and solve their problem at small forward. Sources close to the situation say that Kobe Bryant would welcome the move since he has wanted the Lakers to acquire an athletic, versatile small forward for several years.
I can't see the Lakers giving up Bynum for Iggy + a player like Vuc. Maybe if the Sixers sweeten the pot with a guy like Jrue they'd go for it but to me that's too much value. A more reasonable option is Gasol, he's in his 30's but he's the sort of big man they'd need. Do they do something like this who knows but I like the talk.
I'm thinking out loud here but how about signing a guy like Roy Hibbert [assuming they amnesty Brand] and keeping the rest of the team. I'd still rather they move one or a combination of Iggy/ET/Thad for a scorer/big man but if they're not willing to part with one of them why not sign a big man like Hibbert.

If you're putting Jrue in the deal, then the Sixers would have to get Sessions in return somehow. Or add a 3rd team in the mix that would send a PG to Philly. So maybe something like Iggy/Jrue/Vuc for Bynum/Sessions? Although I'd prefer to see them trade ET and keep Iggy. Who knows, Lakers want to get younger and more athletic, not to mention that they desperately want to get under the luxury tax so that they don't start getting hit with the "repeater tax" that was part of the new CBA. And with Kobe's 30mil/year salary, maybe they'd prefer to take on a lower salary like ET instead of Iggy.
And I'd rather have Bynum than Gasol, but Bynum has some serious maturity issues and he tends to disappear a lot...either in a big game or over a stretch of games. Of course, he also has a dominant streak in him as well where over the course of 4 or 5 games you watch him play and think that if he played like that more consistently there wouldn't even be a debate between him or Howard being the best center in the game.

havas also nixed the hibbert talk. hes and old, slow center that wont let them get on the break enough. so thats that. sorry.
im alright with igy + ____ for bynum. as long as the ____ is not jrue. getting a legit center in the nba is almost impossible, so if hes out there you gotta do it. besides superstar scorers getting a guy like that is the toughest thing to come by
Hibbert is only 25. I'm not saying sign the guy but he's a better option than Hawes. Anyone think theyll make a run at williams?
Josh Harris and Adam Aron want to win, so we have owners who seemingly won't shy away from activity.
Dennis Deitch has been saying he believes it will be Iggy for Gasol. Then he'd sign Jameer and make a run at Ryan Anderson. Jameer would mentor Jrue.
I'm on the fence with Gasol...on the one hand he's a good player on the other hand he's 32 and has the luxury of playing with a lot of talent. Does getting him and subtracting iggy get you that much closer? Maybe if they can add a shooter.
i'd prefer marc gasol over pau gasol
and pau seems like another little bitch who would tank if he came here
I get the impression the new owners want to do a major shakeup but at the same time they might be better off waiting it out another season, keeping what they have intact, and using a max contract or adding a player in a much deeper F/A class the following season. I'd rather wait it out a year, let the young guys develop, then add a piece or two to make a run.

Pau is def the more skilled and versatile player, especially on offense. But yeah, he is soft and can easily be intimidated on the court. Marc has more attitude in his game but he's not even close to Pau in terms of offensive skill. But he's also the better defender of the 2 and I think he'd be a better fit with Collins and the fans since he's more of a blue collar player.
I hope they stay away from Kris Humprhies, good guy to have on the boards and decent defensive player but I just don't see the huge upgrade or that he gets them closer to the finals. Maybe I'd feel different if he was still with Kim and we'd get to see her fat ass in the crowd.

chris humphries would be a better fit for this team...hibbert works on a spot up shooting team that doesnt run a motion offense like indiana...sixers have no shooters and have to runs tons of motion to get pts in a half court set...and obviously humpries runs the floor much better than hibbert...problem with humphries is hes a good rebounder but hes not a great defender and not a rim protector at all...i dont like guys that get their rebounds via their quickness...tipping balls to themselves chasing down long rebounds ect...sixers need a rim defending shot blocking rebounder
if javale mcgee would grow up and not be a farging idiot he could be the guy
on the scoring front hes an injury risk but id take a run at eric gordon if he becomes available....when hes healthy hes the dynamic scorer they need...question is do you wanna cake off a guy who never plays
or they could just get howard or bynum
a girl can dream ya know
This guy knows stuff [sxersfan1976 on realgm]. He's throwing out hypotheticals on their board so I thought I'd throw them out here. To me if there's any way you can get Williams/Howard you do it by any means necessary.
QuoteThis is hypothetical.........just wanted to get some feedback on if you would do or not. I personally think the sixers need to add some bonafide stars if possible to make them more marketable.
I think the team is in a spot very similar to where Boston was before they added Allen and Garnett int hat they have a bunch of young players that teams covet. Its time to take the next step.
So these are two scenarios.............Asking if you would do A, B or neither....with the caveat that neither probably gets you say Kris Humphries and Wesley Matthews/Batum or something like that.
Both of these scenarios are ASSUMING that Deron Williams comes here because we acquired Dwight Howard.(Brand amnesty)
Assumption made: Orlando will not trade us Dwight Howard unless we take on the contract of Jason Richardson or Hedo Turkoglu
Trade 1) Trade Andre Iguodala, Jrue Holiday, Thad Young and Nik Vucevic to Orlando for Dwight Howard, Jason Richardson and Earl Clark
Gives you a base team(free agency would need to fill out depth)
Deron Williams
Jason Richardson
Evan Turner
Lavoy Allen
Dwight Howard
Trade 2) Tarde Iguodala, Turner, Thad and Nik for Dwight, Hedo and Clark
Gives you a base team of
Deron
Jrue
Hedo
Allen
Howard
Option C) Neither

that could be the most ridiculous idiotic thing ive ever read...and not even cause it would be dumb to do it...i didnt even really analyze the proposals...but because it would never ever happen
its basically a couple fantasy basketball trades but in a message board post rather than in a league
edit: i misread...i thought you were saying they would end up with howard AND deron....either way its not happening as howard wont play in philly and all signs say deron wont either...i dont even like him that much anyway.....also whoever posted that is way overevaluating the sixers talent.....i can guarantee you they dont have a lot of players other teams "covet"...they dont have any two players who put together were as "coveted" as al jefferson was all by himself
Hypothetical
i get all my awful hyotheticals from WIP
deron williams a cock
who wants him
hes a good player...but he isnt going to transform your franchise....and hes not nearly worth the money hes going to get...he reminds me of a less explosive stephon marbury
if you think him and howard can work in philly then you might as well be from arizona
talk about two self centered quit in a millisecond losers
id give my liver for dwight howard....and if you knew how powerful my liver was you would know thats a pretty farging big sacrifice....but farg a deron williams
of course it be worth a shot but i see no way dwight would work here
hes a farging Hoyda who spends his offseason filming movies instead of working on his game. he acted like the worlds biggest drama queen last year deciding what to do. doug, wip, the fans...they would all eat him up.
id rather have bynum. if he goes down he goes down elbowing puerto ricans in the face.
wait?...dwight howard is a drama queen but you want andrew bynum???
sorry that reasoning fails hard
bynum is a nut case who has never accomplished a thing in this league.....dwight hated his coach wants to win more than anything and brought a bunch of slop to the nba finals
i want the guy willing to facesmash paul pierce for the sake of it
not the guy who has acted like a funhole the last 2 years (though i would give up your liver to get him_
Howard is a funhole and Bynum is a whack job.
Do not want either.
yeah why would anyone want the best inside player the nba has seen in the last 10 years who single handedly brought a less talented team than the sixers to the nba finals.....preposterous
i dont want him but i really do want him
thats the problem
you wanna see every young sixer and for that matter every elder sixer get exponentially better overnight?......then get dwight howard
correct, but:
you wanna see every young sixer fan and elder sixer fan lose their minds over 1 enigmatic soft as tissue paper melodramatic passive aggressive donovan mcnabb wannabe drama queen ... then get dwight howard
lol at dwight howard being soft
you have never really watched him have you?....the majority of your knowledge of him def comes from sportsnation or first take
i have never seen a second of either one of those shows
he acted like the worlds biggest funhole the past year and you are acting like it means nothing.
and i said 10000 times ill take him in a second but will do so with the understanding that hes going to get eaten alive
you said he was soft...i cant really take seriously anything you have to say about him after that
if we are going by those standards we stopped taking you seriously roughly 45 years ago (i have no clue how old you are...black dont crack)
no one here knew me less than ten years ago and 99.9% stopped listening within two years after that so im used to it
Howard is a little soft mentally in the sense that I don't think he could handle the media and fans in Philly if the team wasn't playing well for an extended period of time. Anywhere is easy to play if you're winning. But for all of his nonsense the last year+ the guy was still balling out on the court.
Another hypothetical: Howard says he'll come here if Williams signs...do you sign Williams then? It's been so long since we had a player of Howard's caliber that I think the fans would embrace him regardless of his antics. My biggest worry with him is his back issues. Big men plus back issues can be disastrous.
And just to clarify its proper to use we in this instance since I'm referring to the fans.

i guess you have to if it means getting both right?...but theres something about deron williams that doesnt sit right with me
and i agree about howards back....but hes good enough to take the chance
If we were talking about this a year ago I'd be all in on Howard. But his attitude and little bullshtein act he played out this year in Orlando was despicable.
just trade for durant and be done with it, jesus this isn't hard
I cant even believe the last 2 pages of this thread
williams is one of the best pg's in the league from a scoring and assist standpoint and howard in unquestionably the best big man in the game. who gives a farg if hes drama or not off the court. both cats suit up and ball their asses off. mds, take your shawn bradley jersey off before you go to bed.
biggest no-brainer hypothetical ever created.
jesus reese is an idiot
anyway can we all agree that when the sixers are a legit nba player again it will be a great day in america
i think about this all the time
the nba needs this team and this city
yeah im an idiot. farg outta here
tell me im false about either of the two then we can have a real nba discussion. until then, take your dumb ass and your monkey boy sidekick and his non-basketball iq back to the scintillating 3am friday night chat sessions
