2008-2009 Philadelphia 76ers Season Thread

borderline disgraceful

[SD_Eagle5]

The Sixers are cooked but is there still any doubt Thad's their best player?

Looking back on this season I think firing Mo was a big mistake. I know they were struggling at the time but they would have eventually gotten it together like they did last season. This team was totally unprepared for the stretch run. Dileo had no clue how to compensate for the loss of Thad. Granted he's (imo) their best player but they still have enough talent to beat teams like the Raptors and Bobcats.

unless youre Phil Jackson and can sit down on the bench with your legs crossed reading Tantra the whole game because you got the respect from your players like that....you better be up, emotional, screaming out movements, letting players know what they did wrong, and motivating your players on a consistent basis

Cheeks and his 48 minute silent scorn was not cutting the cake...dudes a push over

Detroit clinched the #8 seed.  Looks like another elimination by the Celtics in a couple of weeks...

lol @ this team

they lose to boston's b squad and farging 35 year old dre miller forces the ball into farging mediocre ass andre igoudala in the last second. yea thats what you do, he needs the ball caus he lebron and d wade. what a disgrace. this team is a complete fraud. they deserve the 0 people who will be at game 3 and 4 when boston crushes these sorry losers.

[BigEd76]

#16 pick again.  yay mediocrity

Way to piss away another lead, you heartless fargs.

And what the hell was up with the last two plays? Iggy takes a piss poor shot and then they pass up Thad and in-bound it to Iggy deeper in the back court so he can heave up a prayer.

They're gonna get waxed by LeBron and go into the playoffs losing 7 in a row.

[MDS]

god boston is going to massacre them. they deserve to lose every game by 30 pts. they are a total talentless disgrace. when your farging team is fronted by some pos like igoudala and he has the audacity to think hes worthy of having the ball in his hands to end every game says enough. he is a 3rd, 4th offensive option at best and the heartless Romes like miller (career loser) and sammy d (total homo) should be run out of town.

[reese125]

will you please shut the farg up.

ive never seen anyone cry the same bullshtein like you over and over. we heard you 3 months ago

might have passed up thad because he yipped two wide open threes in the last minute and a half that would have given the team the lead...they probably had it in their minds that they werent going to him again

[reese125]

if that indeed was a designed play for Iguodala that couldnt of been more poorly executed

there wasnt even a screen set for him to come off of Pierce or anything. he basically ran around in a circle and Miller handed him the ball. I cant figure out the mindset of dileo and obviously the players cant either

[ice grillin you]

its hard to design a play at all much less a good one with one second left

[reese125]

absolutely not.

you use the 5 seconds to run quick screens before the inbound, and the 1.8 seconds is still plenty time for a one dribble shot...you see it all the time with even less time on the clock

[ice grillin you]

i didnt say it doest happen i said its extremely difficult to pull off...everyone in the world knows exactly what youre gonna...basically dont let anyone btwn you and the basket and guard against the obligatory screens that everyone knows are coming

Magic Johnson once took an inbound pass, set and shot in .1 seconds! He's Magic.
