Quote from: ice grillin you on April 24, 2006, 07:54:58 AMyou never even heard of him till i brought him up on the board

Maybe hunt hadn't, but I remember him from the McDonald's All-American game...

inside info on the fan appreciation debacle...a1 & c-webb told the training staff they weren't playing the day before the game. the training staff told billy king & the PR department...nobody told cheeks. king & the PR dept did not tell the media because they did not want to hurt walk-up ticket sales for fan appreciation night.

King is a good actor then...

Yeah, really. Did he get a degree in drama at Duke?

Or maybe Billy was "fargin pissed" because they showed up late and not because they weren;t going to play?

Even so, way to throw Cheeks under the bus, Billy.

Maybe King was really just

i think that was it.

the hot new rumor from Eskin is that Billy King absolutely knew Iverson and Webber were not coming to the game. All of those antics you saw on TV were fake as he desperately wanted the fans to buy tickets for the Fan Appreciation night.

Funny how we havent heard of any fines since that incident huh? King was so mad on camera that is was almost too easy they were getting fined....please. King is a joke and is the biggest nut rider this side of Philly as a GM.

I read that the day after the game. I'm not sure where, but there was a lot of speculation that King knew but didn't tell Cheeks or the fans so he wouldn't affect the walk-up tickets that night.

Hunt weekdays in the afternoon on WIP starting at 3pm.

Good work.

I'll just throw this out there to see some opinions:

Assuming the Knicks and Brown part ways, would you want him back as the Sixers coach?

reese125 · May 15, 2006, 03:39:25 PM

yes, assuming he has no role in drafting players and Iverson leaves

Seabiscuit36 · May 15, 2006, 03:39:25 PM

NO

Which means Brown isn't coming.

He's a good coach, but I dont want him back.

This team needs to find and cultivate youth--something Brown doesn't exactly have a penchant for doing. If the Sixers were closing to competing for the title next year, I'd consider it, but of course, we wouldn't be talking about hiring a different coach in that scenario either.

reese125 · May 15, 2006, 05:12:25 PM

and the Pistons players were how old when he took them? Brown can coach very well, its up to the players who want to play "team ball" which is indicative of Brown's style. If you dont want to contribute in that category and play solid defense, Browns philosophy is thrown out the window--which was the case in New York

3 key players that ruin that philosophy:

Jamal Crawford--shoot first, Marbury--shoot first then pass and Ed Curry--no defense. Tack on Francis--it gets worse
