Mega Stud 16 is turning into one of the best young big men in the game. He can do it all, and I love how he isn't soft and always is aggressive and crashes the glass. Once his defensive discipline improves he will be an all-star.

He'll be a 20+/10 guy for the Sixers for a long time.

Another terrible thad night.

Good god are they bad

what are you talking about they played a really really good game...it was incredibly frustrating because no matter how late in the game it got with the sixers still leading you knew they were gonna lose but it still was a great game to watch

their permieter defense is once again so mind boggling bad its to blame in literally every single loss they have

even when this team loses tho i love just watching all the young talent they have...if they ever gain some toughness and a clue on how to defense the three pinter they will be a nice squad

[BigEd76]

this is pathetic

7 games in, I think I've watched maybe 5 minutes total....

i was talkin bout the pistons game

the suns they were gonna lose but hanging tough was nice to see

and stop with the young talent. who is young besides jrue. thad is on his 3rd year, we all know what he is. and this group has had time together and they farging blow. its comical that out of all the teams in the world you are an unquestioned stepford homer to the saddest most pathetic most going nowhere most irrelevant borderline inconsequential one. you suck.

i believe they are the 5th youngest team in the nba and they are undoubtedly talented...they still are missing some key things obviously...but if they had better spent brands money they would be a player right now

[MDS]

but they didnt and they are locked into that stiff and wont be climbing out of the 7th seed hole for years.

youre not as bad as a flyer fans but youre pretty close. hope you have fun watching .500 hoops for the next 5 years. join up on the temple bandwagon for some real fun.

Does that include last nights game?  Granted they were up against the NLCS and World Serie so I give the fans a pass but still very sad.

[ice grillin you]

pretty sure none of their home games went head to head with any baseball

[SunMo]

they did go head to head with doing something much more interesting though

[MDS]

watching paint dry?

Or if they didn't spend it at all, they'd be a player in the big 2010 free agent pool. Maybe get a franchise player like Wade.

But for anyone watching this team right now – really watching it – you know things aren't right. And it feels like a little more than just searching for that early-season rhythm. The Sixers, right now, seem slightly annoyed with each other. I'd love to say this is some sort of behind-the-scenes insight I'm offering, but it's not. It's helpful that I've seen all 6 games, sure, but yesterday in Detroit one of the Detroit writers came up to me after the Pistons 88-81 win over the Sixers and said, "What's up with the Sixers?"

It's for this reason that these next 5-10 games are important: because the Sixers appear to be heading down a bad path. And if you're watching closely, you're catching the frustration exchanged in little moments on the court. Yesterday at Detroit, it was a stare down between Elton Brand and Andre Iguodala when Iguodala failed to give Brand the ball in the post. Brand continued the stare even after Iguodala reversed the ball to the other side of the court. It's moments like this that leave you wondering if maybe this Princeton Offense is a ways away from being embraced by everyone? And if not everyone is buying in, what's that mean for the Sixers attitude and play this season?

like this team is a complete and total embarrassment. just everything about it sucks. they arent going anywhere, they cant blow it up, the foundation is mediocre, they are dead last in the league in attendance, they are getting more forgotten and more irrelevant by the day. its just a terrible situation. and they cant even blow it up cause of the $ owed to stiffs like brand and sammy d and the fact that they handed a foolish 3rd rate scorer like igoudala the keys to the franchise.

they are in an unfixable state right now. its just sad. 

[BigEd76]

up 3 with 5 seconds remaining, the Nets threw the inbound pass right to Thad and nobody bothered to chase him, so he just stood there and let time run out.  DEFENSE.

[The BIGSTUD]

Mega Stud 16 with another nice game last night. I think if he started this year he could average 18 and 9. He'll surpass Iguodala as the best player on the team by mid next season.

[MDS]

lol @ igoudala being your best player

this team is a JOKE
