Sixers Season 3

[hunt]

iggy was fun to watch last night...granted, there was no D played in the game & 18 of his points came on dunks but hopefully it will help his confidence.
actually getting the ball in real games would help too.

Third, no player - including No. 3 - is off-limits as Thursday's trading deadline approaches. While Snider hasn't given up on Iverson, he said that a team in dire straits has to consider all offers. It will be King's decision whether to move Iverson, although Snider has been, and will continue to be, involved.

"We've discussed everything," Snider said. But he is acutely aware of what has happened in the past when the Sixers have traded a star. It hasn't been good, for the franchise or the fans.

"I don't want to start any kind of rumors," Snider said. "I just happen to agree with Billy. With a team like ourselves that is mired in a give-or-take .500 level, if we can make any change that we believe will help our club do better, we have to do it. You can't, in my mind, have untouchables in the situation that we're in."

As for Iverson's recently saying he doesn't know his role on the team, Snider said: "I feel that maybe he's not listening... . I think there's absolutely no question that his role on the team has been explained to him. Whether he likes it or not or whether he understands it or not is another issue."

Which brings us back to the fans. Have they tired of Iverson? Is it possible that, after 10 years, everyone in this area who is willing and able to pay for tickets has seen Iverson play?

"People maybe are spoiled," Snider said. "They've seen Allen a lot. They know what they're going to get. And they're not happy we're an up-and-down team, a .500 team, win one night, lose the next, and they just say, 'We'll watch it on TV.' "

That much about fans, it seems, Snider understands.

I know MDS isn't smart or talented enough by himself to make that.

But props for finding it.

Cripes hunt....stfu already.




You're like finding every shred of ANYTHING negative about AI and posting it. Its sad.

wah.



snider rarely talks about the sixers so when he says stuff like this, it's news & deserves to be posted.

That article proves that the Snider is about as clueless as it gets.

Snider's "amazement" at the fans turning their backs on that pathetic team is amusing, however.

According to him, King is safe, Mo Cheeks is safe and Iverson is a godsend.

All you can do is 


BTW: The "spoiled" comment... hilarious!  How are Sixers fans spoiled?  How many championships have they won in the past 40 years?  Two??  Yeah, they're spoiled alright.  Idiot.

i'm surprised he even remembered the sixers exist....but then again, the nhl is on a break.

comcast is airing an iverson special tonight at 9pm...it's a recap of his 10 years w/ the sixers...so get those vcr's ready.

It's at times like this that I curse the fact that I can't get CSN.

[BigEd76]

They're going to have a whole segment on "Practice?!  We talkin' 'bout practice!"

NBA is a distant 3rd in my favorite sports, so if Iverson goes, I would easily jump ship and divide my allegiance to both the Sixers and Iverson's new team.
