Sixers Season thread 2

[phattymatty]

That was a fun game last night.  But jesus christ Webber looks less mobile every time I see him play.  I liked the trade when it initially happened, probably because it was a big name and we haven't had any big names other than AI in a long time.  But I remember when he used to post up it give it to players, now every time he has the ball he tries to dribble, which he sucks at, then ends up taking a fade away jumper from 20 feet.  We already have Iverson to do that.  I'm starting love love Igoudala though, best pick teh Sixers have made in a long time.

i'm a c-webb fan but he & iverson are a bad combination...both guys are poor defenders and need a LOT of shots to get their points.
last night's game was exciting, no doubt...but this is still a mediocre team & that won't change any time soon.

At this point, this is the Sixers. This is the nucleus. Trading Iverson, Webber, Dalembert for younger players doesn't seem likely. King made the choice last off season to go with offense, not defense.

The more I think about it, the more I want Artest. Fans like to compare his situation to TO, but the Eagles were annually on the brink of SB contention, the Sixers are nowhere near that level. What's there to lose? We're a .500% team without him.

Granted the Sixers aren't going anywhere this season, but lastnights game was this seasons highlight and keeps things interesting. Would love to see them build off the momentum but that doesn't seem to fit the character of this team.

the webber trade was a disaster...they are stuck with that cripple for three more years...he is almost single handedly holding back the team in terms of having a chance to start anew...

do you miss kenny thomas & the 5 years remaining on his ridiculous contract?  i'm sure he'll be worth the $8.5 mill he's due in the 2009/2010 season. 

webber can't defend but he's lightyears better than the crap the sixers gave up for him...and his contract is up 2 years earlier than thomas', the same year as skinner's, & 1 year after corliss'.  that was a steal for the sixers.

[BigEd76]

In an ideal situation, we'd have a swingman that played defense so we could bring Korver off the bench.  The bench sucks, and I disagree that Salmons is part of this team's future.  He's brutal....

[MDS]

He's not brutal. He's a decent 7th or 8th option on a team. Not good enough to be the 6th man, but good enough to find his way into the rotation.

[ice grillin you]

salmons is an ideal 6th man...can come off the bench and score...and can score a multitude of ways... down low...take a man off the dribble or shoot a jumper....cant do any of those things good enough to start but is a way better option coming off the bench than korver is...korver shoots threes period...hes a 7-8 not a 6...slamons also has great size for the defensive end...he can check someone...korver on the defensive end cancels out any three pointer he might make


as for webber...get em out...sickening last night when he mad the bonehead play of the year not calling a timeout and then laughed about it all the way back to the bench...the guy is one of the biggest losers of all-time...choke artist central...webber = bitchmade

Webber doesn't handle timeouts too well

[hunt]

yeah, it was the bonehead play of the year.  sure.  kenny thomas would've made the right play on that one.

[phattymatty]

can you blame the guy?  i'm sure every time he thinks about a timeout he gets flashbacks, he probably figured he'd play it safe and not call one, just in case.

[ice grillin you]

you expect the bonehead play...its the reaction afterwards thats sickening

first looking for his mommy...then smiling about it while his bottom lip quivers in an attempt to turn him into a blubbering mess
