Sixers Season thread 2

he deserves it.  everybody in the arena, except Salmons, knew that somebody else should be getting those shots.

why is criticizing your team mates when it's appropriate a bad thing?

team leaders should try to motivate their teammates...not rag on them for missing shots.

C'mon Hunt.  A.I. was just keepin' it real & shtein, aiiight?

This is a purely pathetic post.

yours or mine?

wrong...team leaders need to get up in that grill piece when someone effs up as bad a salmons did...its not like he took one bad shot at the end of the game...he took the ball on three different posessions and kiterally didnt even look another players way...he should have been bitch slapped

iverson did the right thing...iverson is as supportive a teammate as there is in sports...every year he gets surrounded by trash and every year he never complains...just says hes more than happy to go to war with the guys around him...so theres absolutely nothing wrong with what he did to salmons...frankly its about time...

this is also something a certain qb could learn to do as well

they weren't ragging on him for missing shots, they were ragging him for not taking the best shots available.

i'm glad they did it, to often now the players are scared to criticize each other, AI did it perfectly, do what you need to do in the locker room, be political to the media.

[Rome]

So if Iverson guns it three straight times without looking at his teammates, that's okay, but if someone else does it, it's not?

I see.

iverson is as supportive a teammate as there is in sports...

yeah, he was really supportive.
jeezuz christ...what world do you people live in. 

salmons was wide open for both 3's...he just missed them.

if its webber perhaps it could be ok...if its john friggin salmons...no good..

you seriously are comparing the nbas leading scorer and a guy who went for 50 in that game to john salmons

lets see iverson taking it to the basket to either get fouled or dump it off to someone else for an easy shot...or salmons a pathetic 3 point shooter bombing threes...hell korver was wide open on one possesion

[Rome]

Salmons plays for the Sixers, yes?  He's on the same court, and in a team game such as basketball, if he has the open shot, then yeah, he should take it.  If he has the open shot three straight times, then yes, he should take it all three times.

If he makes one, all this pissing and moaning from you Iverson-fluffers would be moot but because he missed it, suddenly he's not "entitled" to take it?

Retarded beyond belief.

[hunt]

on both salmon's 3's, iverson did try to drive...the D collapsed & he kicked it out to a wide open salmons.  the guy just missed.

[SunMo]

no one will ever confuse me with an Iverson fluffer, in fact i don't like the way he plays early in the game.  but christ, he's the superstar, if Salmons is taking shots at the end of the game, it should be because AI drove the ball and passed it out to him.  for 3 critical late possessions to not go through either AI or Webber is ridiculous.  but hey, if you'd rather have Salmons taking late game shots, good luck to you.

[hunt]

if Salmons is taking shots at the end of the game, it should be because AI drove the ball and passed it out to him. 

isn't that exactly what happened on both of his 3 pointer attempts?

[Rome]

 

Can you fargers read?  Jesus, I never said I would PREFER to have Salmons shooting the goddamn ball.  I said if he's open and no one is guarding him, then yes, he should shoot the thing.

If Mr. 40% Career Shooting Percentage "Superstar" is open, then give him the rock.  Otherwise he'll cry like a Hoyda like he did the other night.

[SunMo]

on 1, i think you're right.

but the end of a close game isn't the time to try to shoot yourself out of a slump.  you miss one, you've had your chance role player, give it to the super stars.

[ice grillin you]

iverson is at 45% this year but even if you wanna go career 42% that still way higher than salmons 30% from the three point line...anyway in general its not so much about iverson but more that salmons took four shots in the last three minutes and the rest of the team took two

iverson was 4-6 in the 4th quarter the rest of the team 1-12...end of story

i'm almost positive ai drove & dished to salmons on both 3 attempts....his drive that got blocked was a bad shot, no doubt.

anyway, if ai's goal was to make salmons even more afraid to shoot at the end of close games, i'm sure he accomplished it by ragging on him in the locker room the other night.  the team should be a lot better now.

nailon needs to stfu though.
