he cant them to do anything because they have no clue what he wants...they are getting farging yo-yo'ed in and out of the lineup/rotation on a nightly basis

godfather sits out the fourth quarter last night after playing some of the best basketball of his career lately?

speights barely plays anymore...then he will get 23 minutes out of nowhere

lou williams starts one night then isnt even the first guy off the bench the next

jason smiths middle name is DNP

brand has been in and out of the starting lineup all year

thad lost his starting job

iguodala is the ONLY player on the team that has been exempt from this

its a joke

jordan raves a couple days ago about his new lineup with jeru starting and then parks him on the bench for most of the second half and all of the 4th quarter while dhanty jones is raping lou williams on the block...even if you dont wanna the damaja in put carney on him...but noooooooooo he stands on the sideline like a farging zombie and watches lou who is a hideous defender get murdered by jones on like five of seven possesions down the stretch

this basically says it all about the so-called "defensive minded" Eddie Jordan--

Roger Mason Jr.:

"I can't say that I really was the most experienced defender when I left Washington, I did the best I thought I could do. But when I got in this system [with the Spurs] that first year really stripped me of a lot of my bad habits, and I've learned how to compete defensively."

If dude stays on, its not going to be even close that Allen Iverson stunted the growth of Jrue, it will be Jordan. Speaking of AI, although he doesnt play a lick of defense anyway, he crushes any style of princeton offense jordan tries to run and I love every minute of it. One thing that irks the shtein out of me with any NBA coach, and you can tell this is carried over in practice, is a guy who sits silently on the bench during a game. He is pushover Mo x's 10, but at least Mo had the some intelligence to put a system in place that worked with the talent on the floor.

-He can't expect a guy to be their best defender unless he is their best offensive player.

ok, i find all of his comments to be vomit inducing, but that last one takes the farging cake.  i'd expect a comment like that to come from munson, not a professional basketball coach.  that comment literally makes it sound like he's never even heard of basketball before.

Article by Marc Spears on Yahoo

League executives list Phoenix forward Amar'e Stoudemire and Philadelphia 76ers swingman Andre Iguodala(notes) among the biggest names most likely to be moved before the trade deadline – and there's even a chance they might be dealt for each other. If the cost-cutting Sixers did such a deal, they could try to use Stoudemire in a sign-and-trade during the offseason and not re-sign him...

jeru starts the game again last night then doesnt play in the second half...and this on a night when lou williams got eight minutes...just baffling

jeru should be playing in the 30 minute a night range..i realize hes young but hes shown to be competant...if he couldnt play in the league yet id be all for keeping him on the bench and letting him leasrn thru practice but he can play and should be....id have him in every possible situation i could

I beg Stefanski to do something before Feb 18th

there is no doubt after watching the Dallas/Phoenix game the other night that Cuban should bite the bullet, eat Sammy's trade kicker and get another center behind Dampier. that dude can barely run the floor. Josh Howard is garbage this year and has lost it. Iggy would fit so nice there. get the shtein done.

edit: Ive said for a while that I would want to keep Iggy because I like what he does end to end on the floor, but as each passing day goes by and watching each game I realize that keeping him could leave this team even further behind. Hes a waste on this team, with this coach and this GM, but hes a true asset that a contender could use. With the right package of players, and perhaps even a third team in the mix, the Sixers could start fresh in 2011 with a new coach and player personnel. Im just hoping that Ed S doesnt farg it up and use the teams first rd pick if things go down.

hopefully game 1 of the series gets rained out so we can all enjoy the sixers opener in full tonight


awsome daily news cover today

lol @ the first post.  it's now pretty much igy's worst nightmare.  a photo of kobe bryant slamming and a headline announcing the hiring of howie roseman as eagles gm.

[ice grillin you]

yeah does it get worse than that...makes my blood boil....a picture and headline like that should raise the masses but no one cares about the sixers so it will do nothing

[MDS]

the sixers have beaten people to the point where it doesnt matter any more

think phils 95-00. they were awful and people just stopped caring.

[Drunkmasterflex]

Agreed, hard to watch a team that no matter how big the lead you know there is a very good chance that they will blow it. 

[MDS]

2 weeks until the nba trading deadline and they are still trying to win games and there is no sign of a shakeup

its getting to the point where ed stafanski might be the worst gm in the history of the city. god does he blow.

[reese125]

sixers are the loudest amongst talks right now for a trade flappy...have been for a while.

stefanskis job couldnt be more on the line right now. question is does he/comcast have enough time to just pull a salary dump and rebuild or does he go for a quick fix and try and make a pointless run. take a guess.

[ice grillin you]

chad ford reporting suns have agreed to trade stoudamire and junk for iguodala and sammy but sixers are holding it up

[phattymatty]

please please please bring admundson back.

[MDS]

What the farg could be holding up shipping those two clowns outta here
