man is et improving by the game...his confidence is lights out right now and is making all the difference

I think he'll be a 13, 6, 4 player in 2 years. Not sure his ceiling is much higher than that though.

im just glad he looks like he belongs in the league these days....his jumper is still terrible tho

its a cheesy cliche but its really true with him...he is simply a basketball player

He's starting to do a lot of little things well. He's going to have to improve his jumper drastically to ever be a significant scorer though. He has some height to create mismatches. Needs to shoot better to compensate for his lack of quickness though.

i love this win even more than last nights...on a weird back to back after a big emotional in they did exactly what they are supposed to do to a bad team...this is not something you could ever say about this team in its recent past...i actually thought this was a possible loss...the fact that it was a sixer rout says all you need to know about how this isnt the same old sixers anymore.....doug collins is a gawd

coincidence that my fantasy basketball team and the sixers turnarouned themselves at the same time?

Is Collins quietly taking Jrue off of PG duties? His assist numbers are way down.

reese125 · February 13, 2011, 08:18:19 AM

nah...collins just has a mixture of guys that can run the point. its def a plus that can move jrue to sg--which I like.

cant get the kind of assists he was previously getting if the ball is not always in your hands. they had some solid ball rotation last night, with some good inside out play. they keep pulling that shtein, they wont need jrue to have high assist totals

Hollinger's statistical analysis currently has the Sixers as the 8th best team in the NBA, and gives them a 6% chance of coming out of the East.

PoopyfaceMcGee · February 13, 2011, 01:37:26 PM

I feel pretty good about my 100:1 bet on them to win the East.

ice grillin you · February 13, 2011, 06:18:24 PM

you feel good about losing money or you feel good about then being better than you thought

because im their biggest supporter and even i know they have less than zero chance to go to the finals

PoopyfaceMcGee · February 13, 2011, 06:32:26 PM

If they have better than a 1% chance, my bet is gold.

ice grillin you · February 13, 2011, 06:34:48 PM

well they have zero chance...but like me be happy they are better than you could have ever imagined....it wont win you money but it will win your heart

Eagles_Legendz · February 13, 2011, 07:19:39 PM

That's unpossible. So sayeth mr hollinger.

Sixers can win until they play someone who they need to seriously body up against in the post, or someone who can get into the lane with ease.

ice grillin you · February 13, 2011, 07:40:33 PM

thats their biggest soft spot in the regular season and it will also get them in trouble in the postseason....but their ultimate downfall in the playoffs will be their scoring....specifically their shooting....when the game tightens up and people are all up in your chest for 48 minutes they dont have the guys that can score in that enviroment....poor man bubba chuck sweet lou is the only guy on the roster i can see doing it
