Sixers Season 3

[MURP]

i'll try to be more positive in this version of the sixers' season thread.


go zendon!

congratulations to my friend mr. iverson for making the all-star game as a starter.  he is very popular.

and there's a rumor that tim thomas will be released and possibly signed by the sixers.

[Sgt PSN]

Thomas was ok the first time around with the sixers but he was lazy.  He got better for a minute with the Bucs.  Now he sucks again. 

[ice grillin you]

tonight is gonna be U-G-L-Y
you aint got no alibi yous ugly
what!?! what!?!
yous ugly

[LBIggle]

i remember in pop warner the cheerleaders used to use that one.

but they were fat and ugly, so it didn't make much sense to me.

[MDS]

They play so much better without Iverson. Team basketball.

[Eagles_Legendz]

Except they can't score, unfortunately.  Team basketball is nice, but they have severe issues putting the ball in the hoop without AI.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Yes, but that is silly talk, EL.

It's all about playing team basketball without AI. Who cares if they win? So long as they lose as a team it's allllll good.

a 7 point loss to the best team in the nba is very respectable for this team.  remember, they've been a mediocre .500 team all season so it's not like they've been beating teams like the suns & pistons.
tonight's game vs the lebrons should be winable...unfortuantely i won't be able to watch so i'll be counting on some more keen insight from you people to let me know how they did.

if the pistons wanted to they could have easily won that game by 30...once they knew iverson was out they had in their minds that it was over and they were gonna do as little as possible and still win...they were on cruise control the whole game...in fact if iverson had played the sixers would have lost by a lot more as detroit would have had the foot on the gas the whole way

like tolbert said in the comment of the night..."this is the largest six point lead in the history of basketball"

MDS, here's a Guinness on the house:

i think iverson is supposed to play tonight so the sixers will be back to being the championship caliber team they were before his injury! 
yeah!

go sixers!

Exaggerate much?  No one is claiming they're a championship caliber team, but to say they're not better with him playing is absurd.

Do I think they play better team ball without him? Hell yeah. Do I think he shoots too much? Hell yeah. Do I think they have a better chance of winning with him? Hell yeah.
