2010 Sixers Offseason Thread

[DH]

so Im standing in line at the eagles game, with about a thousand other heads cramming our way to pass through the security check, and I look over and who do I see...Evan Turner

tall-ass, skinny as could be with what looked like two midget 12th graders with him...no lie. He walked up to the security guy and I guess asked him where he should go. Not a soul recognized him. just a strange scenario all the way around.

Same thing happened last year - I had Scotty Reynolds standing next to me most of the Denver game, and no one knew who he was..weird. And he was rooting for the Broncos..

What happened to Steve Mix? 

[PhillyPhreak54]

I think he's been gone a couple years now.

[MDS]

was last year salmi and pickney? cause they were both terrible.

[BigEd76]

just Pinckney, but he left to go be an assistant with the Bulls

[SD]

Donyell Marshall isn't back is he? What an embarrassment.

The bad: the starting unit was weak, falling behind 24-19 at the end of the first quarter, and digging a 12-point hole with only a few minutes left in the 3rd quarter. The frontline of Andre Iguodala, Thaddeus Young, and Elton Brand did not play well together. Iguodala was 0 for 3 from the floor and Young and Brand combined for only 5 defensive rebounds (although that's more than last night against the Celtics). By comparison, Holiday/Turner grabbed 18 defensive rebounds.

A quote from Collins: "They're my leading rebounders in exhibition going into the game tonight. My two guards are my leading rebounders. That is a positive, but you'd like that not to be out of necessity. But that's a huge concern for our team if we can't rebound the ball or defend the paint."

Rebounding has been a concern for awhile. I hate watching them get beaten so badly on the boards.

[MDS]

granted we have more important things to focus on, but how terrible does this team look? is there anything to look forward to besides jrue?

[SD]

They're an atrocity. I doubt they break 30 wins and could very well win less than what they did last season  (27). As bad as attendance was last season I'll bet it's even lower this season. Haven't liked what I've seen from Turner in any of these games. Jrue actually looks like he's regressed. No idea why Igoudala is on this team and Brand looks even worse.

[smeags]

ship this team to turkey with iverson please.

Calm down folks.. it's preseason.

Calm down folks.. it's preseason.

You're new, but this is the preseason for us to so we're not quite in mid-season form yet when it comes to ripping how awful this team is.  It'll get better though once the season starts and the starters are logging more minutes on the court and we get a real chance to observe just how bad they really are.

good summary...
