Sixers Season 3

[hunt]

Mo started to cry after last night's press conference.  He also wanted to go off on Eskin but restrained himself...

i didn't realize that was eskin asking all those questions...all he was trying to do was get mo to name names.
anyway, it's not a good sign when your coach almost has a nervous breakdown during the post game presser...they'll be lucky to win 2 more games.

[reese125]

that cute, little sensitive side of Mo definitely rubbed off on his players.  Ive watched every game this season and Im stunned on the level of improvement and strides the team has made throughout the season....NONE.

Trade Iverson now while he has value...King can make SOMETHING happen with him

[MDS]

haha theyre awful

[PhillyPhreak54]

What was Eskin asking him?

And if Mo could win with those bums in Portland it should tell you that he can coach. This team is loaded with dogs.

[SD_Eagle5]

He had more talent in Portland than he does here. Problems he had there were character issues.

[BigEd76]

Eskin kept bringing up that AI and Webber have been saying publicly that the young guys on the team lack heart, lack intensity and suck at defense, and he wanted to know why Mo wouldn't agree with them.  Mo said that yelling about Dalembert or any other young guys in a postgame conference wasn't going to solve anything and he didn't want to go there.....said he'd deal with it privately...

[PhillyPhreak54]

He'll be getting ripped soon ala Reid for not airing the teams dirty laundry...

[ice grillin you]

the difference is mo shows true emotion that shows he truly cares...he comes on radio programs every week...he is very accessable to his fanbase...hes a philly legend and adopted son...and the fans repsect that...reid on the other hand acts as if hes in cloak and dagger...he shows zero emotion or care for his team or its fans...hes doesnt know the first thing about being a philadelphian...and he obviously could care less about the people who support the team he coaches

Andy is very accessible to the fans, IGY. We just don't hear about it because he doesn't publicize it. Now he isn't doing a weekly radio show on WIP, but he still does his part. Its just on the cool.

For instance, and when I heard this story, I thought it was very cool.

When I used to work midnights I would listen to Paul Jolovitz every weekend. Paul has befriended a guy named Timmy Campelone. Timmy called in one night from his hospital bed to talk (he has cancer) and Paul asked him to tell the audience about the relationship he has with Reid.

Timmy was at a Maxwell dinner a few years ago and Andy approached him and was talking to him. From then on he has kept up with him a lot. But the best part of the story was Andy heard that the guy wasn't doing well in February. He took the time to call him from the combine and spoke to him for an hour. He said Andy calls him often just to talk and try to keep his spirits up and tell him to not give up.

And Andy also was the guy who greeted all the fans sleeping and waiting outside the Vet for playoff tickets back in 2000 before the Bucs came to town.

Now I agree, and really like, that Mo shows the emotion. But I also like how Reid keeps to himself a lot of times. Andy knows all about Philadelphia. But he doesn't let himself get caught up in the hype that we have.

We all love Mo and who cares if he shows emotion and "cares". He's not trying earn a Boy Scout badge. Sixers are trying to win some friggin games to get in the playoffs, even if we dont want them to make it. The lack of intensity that the Sixers are known for has not shown--on both sides of the floor, and that does rest on the coach. I know you cant teach heart and desire, but you sure as hell can teach positioning on offense and defense--and these players are scattered on the floor. Two f-in legit all-stars (in the 30pt and 20pt category) with a nice (nice meaning ok) supporting cast and they cant get in the right positions to play D---still?? Theres a problem there and it first falls on the coach.

i didnt say andy was a bad person just not very fanbase friendly...going out of the way for one sick kid and a couple hundred fans in a ticket line is not exactly reaching out to the entire fanbase

andy is a better coach than mo...may even be a better person who knows...i was just pointing out why he will never be loved like mo even IF he were to win a superbowl

we'll see how much the city loves Mo after another debacle. and your wrong about the Reid and the superbowl IGY. You bring a superbowl to this city its nothing but ridiculous love. The fans would give a rats ass if he doesnt give news to us or the media. As long as he brought us the trophy...because in the end, thats really what its all about to the fans

[BigEd76]

he isn't doing a weekly radio show on WIP

He does one on WYSP.

BTW, did anyone else notice that the #6 seed in the East has 40 losses?

you couldnt be more wrong...will he garner a new level of respect from people and lose a lot of the hate...of course...

will he be revered like vermeil or buddy...no way

[reese125]

r u kidding me? The 4 NFC championship games, best coaching record all time in Eagles history, and a superbowl trophy. Um, yeah I think he'll be revered.

Stop letting Vermeil's tears and Buddy's defense prowess get to ya...think about the ultimate goal here and Philadelphia's real feelings afterwards
