Does Salmons actually play good defense?

not really.

salmons does nothing but try to score...hes gotta lead the league in shots per minutes played..when hes on defense hes thinking about how he can score the next time down...no he doesnt play defense

So, replacing Korver with Salmons would have the net effect of... making the starting lineup blacker.

i mean hes better than korver on athletic ability alone...but we are talkling about the tallest midget here...basically this is cheeks saying look i made a move for more defense...blame the players now

Although it's not quite like baseball in the sense that when you'd benched in baseball you probably won't do nothing but maybe pinch hit or enter as a defensive replacement, but Mo pulled a Terry Franconca.

Tonight is Kyle Korver bobblehead night and he got benched. Just like Tito did when he benched Scott Rolen on Scott Rolen bat day a few years ago.

yes...kyle will be grouchy when he meets with the fans who brought a jacket to donate.
and nobody likes a grouchy kyle.

PhillyPhreak54 · January 18, 2006, 01:59:58 PM

Maybe if he's grouchy it'll help him play defense?

Nah.

got run at home by the nets. this team flat out sucks.

ice grillin you · January 19, 2006, 08:07:46 AM

what was embarrassing was how the nets just toyed with them...blast out to a 30 point first quarter...get a lead then just put it on cruise the rest of the night...sixers make a mini run...then score on your next four posessions...they could do what they wanted when they wanted

PhillyPhreak54 · January 19, 2006, 08:58:34 AM

Terrible.

Mo went off on 'em aftr the game though.

ice grillin you · January 19, 2006, 09:01:46 AM

players are slowly turning on mo now...iverson questioning his own role...webber saying mo's system isnt any good...

webber literally makes me nauseous when i think about him...other than vince carter hes my most hated pro athlete

edit: and kobe

All Webber has done here is bitched about the system and coaches. On and on. Enough you slut.

at least they're bad enough that I won't get sucked into following them this year in the hopes they'll have a shot at winning in the playoffs.

Sielski tried to blame AI today. I like this comment though:

Quoteit sure would be helpful if the Sixers had a post player with opposable thumbs.

SunMo · January 19, 2006, 12:16:12 PM

they aren't doing anything this year (or the next 3), they might as well trade AI while he is still playing top-notch basketball. get young players, draft picks, and expiring contracts for him.
