Sixers Season 3

I must say that I wish more people would feel this way

there is virtually no one that doesnt feel that way...its a nice cliche tho...one of my favorites in fact

and hunt iverson didnt play any different last night than he has all year...he still took a bunch of shots...the difference was iguodala took 15 shots...thus iverson gets 12 assists...team shot over 50% as well...its as ive said for ten years if iverson ever got any shooters and to a lesser extent scorers around him hed lead the league in assists...iggy needs more games like last night and less 5 or 6 shot games

he did play different last night...he made a point to get iggy & webber shots early in the game instead of coming out gunning like he usually does. once c-webb & iggy got going, a1 did start shooting more but he barely shot in the first 5-7 minutes of the game.

he didnt gun because iggy im guessing with his confidence raised after his all star weekend came out super aggressive

Too bad he'll shoot something like 12/33 the next game.

Ed Snider was on WIP with Macnow last night and he was getting angry. It was pretty entertaining and at one point he said he'd move the team. We all know that wouldn't happen, but he was dumb to say it especially on that station because they are going nuts over it. Between that and Cataldi calling the Eagles the cheapest team in the NFL for the rumors that they're one of the 9 who'll sue the NFL he's having a ball today. But Snider said some stupid stuff. And the one question/point that Macnow should've brought up when talking attendance is ticket prices.

AI is not going anywhere today.

I bet they make a minor move though.

Your sarcasm is appreciated but there is a hell of a lot more player worship and support vs. teams now than at any point that I've ever experienced.

Snider threatened to move the Sixers?

Classic.

that's how their offense should work every game. i wouldn't have a problem with Iverson's play if he took Jordan's philosophy. Jordan always made a point to get Pippen, Kukoch, and others into the game early and then he'd take the big shots late in the game.

Iggy should get that many shots every night, he should also be posting up more, especially when he has a 2 guarding him. His low post game is not bad.

he did not...he was angry and was being facetious

hunt · February 23, 2006, 08:40:55 AM

hah! snider comes across as an idiot in most of his interviews. threatening to move the team is pretty bad though.

and i don't expect any major trades today either...maybe something like hunter for sweetney but that's it.

I simply commented on what Phreak wrote, IGY. I didn't actually hear the interview.

That said, I wouldn't put it past Snider to move the Sixers. Not for a second. He's never given a damn about them anyway. They're his redheaded step-child. Always have been.

he was on with macnow last night and was getting drilled about how none of the fans want to come out and see iverson anymore and that attendance basically blows right now...macnow said no one wants to see a team that doesnt at least have hope for a title...snider said well then maybe we should move the team to a city that will care

he was clearly pissed and made a heated off the cuff remark...in no way was it a threat to move the team

PhillyPhreak54 · February 23, 2006, 08:49:56 AM

He said it but it wasn't really a threat. I took it as him being petulant. You know the ol' "i'm taking my ball and going home" speech.

He was getting frustrated with Macnow.

And he said that Philly wasn't a probasketball city. And wondered why fans weren't coming out. That is where Macnow shoulda brought up the ticket prices. But I guess that was too much to ask of him.

Another thing that Snider said that I found funny is when they talked about Webber he basically said that they gave the Kings 3 bums who cannot play in the NBA. But at the same time he didn't realize he was ripping Billy because Billy signed Kenny The Stiff and Skinner to fat contracts.

And he said he doesn't care about money (salaries) because everyone makes too much money in the NBA.

exactly

hunt · February 23, 2006, 08:59:56 AM

if snider doesn't know why fans aren't coming out for sixers games, he's more clueless than i thought.
that bozo should stick to hockey.
