2010 Sixers Offseason Thread

My only problem with that is he is settling for jumpers as well since I think he took like 12 shots.

I have to imagine that if he really is going to the hole like he's supposed to somebody has to be cutting to the basket for an assist. If nobody is doing that or Jeru just can't make the inside pass, this team is way worse than I thought.

i put absolutely no stock in the second to last prseason game on the road at cleveland with no coach

theres no chance they werent going thru the motions

thats not a defense of the team because they are horrific but its still fact

Dear God... someone told me the sixers were going with Thad Young at the four and Elton Brand at the 5.. I hope they were farging with me.

Collins concussion symptoms causing him to think that would be good?

Potentially..

I actually have some respect for Collins and Thorn, so I'm not as furious at the Sixers direction as I was in years past... I'm patiently waiting for the season to begin so the evaluation of suckiness can began.

I agree.

I'm not angry, I just want to see good things happen this year.

Namely on the defensive and rebounding side of things.

I love non-basketball/non-sixers fans that need to point out why they don't like the league or why they don't like the sixers.  Leave this thread alone... I'll start up a thread about Texas high school softball that you can post in.

turner is hideous but in the least doug collins will be entertaining during pressers

Not hunt...

You don't know shtein about Turner... you haven't seen him in a single game... and you definitely didn't watch him at OSU...

the kid is a winner .. and someone I wouldn't bet against... he's risen to the occassion at every level thus far in his career, and will do so as a sixer... I don't give a farg about the measurements/etc that people use to criticize him.

i have seen him play...a lot...and he isnt anything special

btw awesome cliches in that post

So what he did at OSU wasn't special???

Coming back in less than a month after breaking bones in his break and leading the Big Ten in scoring, and finishing second in rebounds/assists.  The other things that have been televised thus far are summer league games, so what are you basing your observations on??

And yes... I don't give a crap if the post was filled with cliches, people constantly bet against certain types of players because of pre-draft measurables... and these players prove people wrong.

i dont care what he did in college....i care how his game translates to the pros...and i just dont see the potential for a lot of growth at this level...i like his size and because of that i could see him put up some solid numbers...anything more would be a bonus imo

[Hawk]

And he looks like he's going to be a good rebounder/good defender... so if he gets his shot going... and stop being so hesistant... I see him being a very good NBA player..

I'm just hoping that Cousins doesn't haunt us.. but time will tell.
