I think we'll force it to seven.  Well I hope we do.  We couldn't sell out on Friday or Sunday, so the arena might be half empty come Thursday. 

I'd S+T iggy for josh smith, but there's no way in hell Atlanta would.  Did you see that stat last night regarding the most blocks at the age of 22.  Josh Smith had like 288, ahead of everyone noteworthy.

I think we need a go to scorer.  Lou Williams is to an extent, but we need a full time, 40 minutes a night guy.  Last night, watching the Hawks and Joe Johnson, that fact became painfully evident.  When we desperately need a bucket, we have no one to score it. 

I think we need to sign and trade Iggy for a go to scorer 2 guard, and a sign a PF like Brand.  Howeve,r if we had a guy like Brand, maybe it would take away the pressure/doubles on Iguodala and he'd be playing where he belongs as the number 3 option behind Brand and a maturing Thaddeus.

Looks like my anger at my company for making me travel yesterday and today was misguided. I was mad that I would miss the game tonight. And that I had to spend two days in Louisville.

The dagger goes in for good game 6. I'll be shocked if they win it. But I like the way they played, and it gives the young guys experience.

A PF who can rebound and has some type of inside presence is needed.

Igoudala shat all over himself this series.

ice grillin you

i am still on the PF badwagon as they definitely need one but after watching this series they need someone who can knock down jumpers even more than that...they have the scorers...they need shooters in the worst way...especially in the playoffs when the games slows down to a half court crawl
i can take a phrase thats rarely heard...flip it....now its a daily word

Everyone keeps throwing Brand's name out there, which means you can bet there is no shot at him coming here. He will require a monster contract--even with his past injury

Another guy to look at is Brandon Bass of the Mavericks. Unlike Reggie Evans, this guy can score....and rebound his ass off when given the minutes. It might also be enticing for him because he comes off th bench and would start here. Being the Sixers are not contenders yet, he would be a very nice fit to keep the youth movement going forward

Antwan Jamison is another big name--but Gilbert already offered to take less money in order to keep Butler, Jamison and himself together

The scorer that everyone might want can be Corey Magette, and I think his time is up in LA

sammy is the biggest waste of space.  he has to be one of the most uncoordinated people in the nba.  watching him go against rasheed was like watching a nba'er going against a middle schooler. 

willie also needs to go.

that was hard to watch last night.  you knew when chauncey started out like that it was gonna be a long game.

the really sad thing is that korver would really be helping this team right now.  even if he is a big puss.

hunt

they need a 2 who can knock down jumpers and a 4 who can rebound & score in the post....oh, and a center who isn't a flake.

great season though.  they really overachieved.

I was waiting for him to wake up---it was very odd to see him struggle--and it wasnt because of the awesome d--he just flat out missed everything

Matty, you know my opinion of Sam. Even when gives you the occasional oooh and ahhhh with his athletic ability, I still dont get excited because he will ultimately do something so stupid on the floor, it will overshadow the positive and creates scoring opps for the other team

That hair is just awful. I wonder if his ladyfriend likes it.
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.
