Korver should never be starting, but his poor play on D is far from the only problem. Most of the team doesnt give good D effort.

this is true...hes only part of a larger problem

their perimeter defense is as bad as ive ever seen

hunter is softer than a babys ass...his rep as a defensive player came not from being a good defender...but because hes so pathetic offensively therefore he must be a shot blocking defender right?...he protects the rim like brad marsh protected his head

they are just a soft soft team in general...what was amazing was those back to back games against miami and cleveland where wade lebron and larry hughes put on a dunk fest...i think the sixers even handed out treasure maps with the front of the rim being the X...anyway it was a free all...yet not once was someone put on their ass...wheres nehemiah ingram when you need him

sixers remind me of the dallas mavericks circa 87...ro blackman mark aguirre and detlef schrempf trying to guard people...lolol

he has been a dissapointment thus far, you're right about him being soft in the middle as far as shot blocking goes, but he's not even a tough rebounder for someone his size, it's embarassing to watch him try and fight for a rebound.

how bad is their rebounding/defense???

they lead the league in most points scored and fewest turnovers and are only .500

This sums it up right here. They take care of the ball and they can score a lot. But they need some balls on the boards and on defense.

#1 in scoring & #2 in to's should equal a much better record.

3 of their 5 starters are below average (if not awful) defenders...and i'm being generous to dalembert because he can block shots or else it would be 4.

What a great start tonight.

33-23 Hornets early in the 2nd right now. The Sixers were up 14-8. Since that point they have been outscored 25-9 and are being outrebounded again.

the sixers play the bucks for the 12th time tonight.

PhillyPhreak54 · December 07, 2005, 09:06:20 AM

Mo alo had Moses Malone at practice yesterday trying to teach these dudes how to grab a goddamn rebound for once in their lives.

Apparently they hired him to visit once a month...

sweet. it'll be nice to see Michael Redd bring the Bucks back from behind in the 4th quarter for the win. AGAIN.

PhillyPhreak54 · December 07, 2005, 08:07:29 PM

Hey look! The Bucks are killing the Sixers by 15 at the half. Too mnay turnovers that allowed fast break points and the Bucks got hot from beyond the arc while the Sixers went into a deep freeze.

At least we won't have to see Redd do it in the 4th.

PhillyPhreak54 · December 07, 2005, 08:38:37 PM

Sixers have tied it up at 62!

PhillyPhreak54 · December 07, 2005, 08:50:58 PM

Shavlik Randolph is on fire! You can't stop him.

9 points on 4 of 5 shooting and 6 boards.

Sam Dalembert wins player of the game

ice grillin you · December 08, 2005, 08:05:55 AM

what the hell was dalembert doing completely leaving his man on the box and flying at 5'11 tj ford waaaaay late to block his shot when 6'7 iggy was already all over him...pathetic...he didnt even really try to block it...he just lunged over in fords direction completely taking himself out of the play for no apparent reason and giving bogut a lay up

PhillyPhreak54 · December 08, 2005, 08:19:36 AM

I seriously could not believe my eyes during those last few minutes...

1. What in the FARG was Kyle Korver doing hoisting up a 3 point shot with :10 left on the shot clock and a 3 point lead?!?!?!? Dumbass!

2. Sammy D jumped in front of Webber who had theangle on the rebound so the call clanged off Sammy instead of Chris grabbing it.

3. Johnny Salmons fouling Mo Williams on a 3 pointer (even though it was really a 2 he got 3 shots)

4. Dalembert missing 2 FT's.

5. Dalembert chasing his miss on the last FT instead of busting ass down the court to get in position and in turn giving up the Bogut freebie as IGY described.

Totally f'ing clueless.
