The Heat game was about what I expected. They can't defend a team like that. At one point, the lineup the Sixers had on the court was embarrassing. They basically would have to not miss a single shot to beat the Heat. Allen and Hawes can hit an open jumper and no one drives but Jrue.
I just saw the Melo play from last night and how wasn't he ejected? Don't they go to replay on plays like that?
Alright, alright, alright!

you guys are kinda stuck ... although i have said that a playoff berth is a worthy goal - i do kinda side with the fixer now ... you're better off shutting bynum down ... trading turner and hawes ... and then trying to score a top 5 pick this summer ...
the really sad part is you're like 4 games out of a playoff spot ... it's doable ... but if he doesn't play soon ... i think you should shut him down ...
ah, someone finally see the light.
glad they stayed pat at the deadline. gotta keep this beast squad intact. If that smith for turner/hawes deal was on the table that is ridiculous that they turned it down. Even if smith signed elsewhere, it's still addition by subtraction (and gets them closer to where they should be trying to go, which is to be as bad as possible)
yup...at this point, just lose. maybe jrue comes down with a mystery illness or something.
no bynum, no richardson, no thad for a month = this team had no chance. get a decent pick/or package it in a trade...use the cap space and reload for next year.
the smith trade would have just made them a little bit better for this year...maybe squeaking into the playoffs/losing a lottery pick. i'm glad that didn't happen. it's now tank time.

As a head coach, you can't walk off the court before the games over. Maybe we'll be like the Bulls and win some championships after Doug's gone?

he looked like he was about ready to say "fuck it. i quit" last night. .....everyone knows his track record but it's just amazing that it plays out almost exactly to form no matter where he's at.
tough to blame him with the way things have gone this year though.

he's part of the problem. has he ever successfully developed a young big guy? get rid of him too
would also help to have a ya know, real GM :roll:
glad to see everyone finally coming over to my side. only way this team gets out of this 30 year cycle of crap is to tear this roster down and start over.
umm...they tore up the roster last year. you realise they only brought 4 guys back from last year's team right?
to the casual observer, just looking at the record, this is the same kind of sixers organization we always have had. but that is not true. the typical sixers move, after getting to within 1 game of the conference finals last year would be to keep the status quo and hope to improve.
this regime realized they had a tremendous amount of luck to make it that far and gutted the roster. they traded their best player and shed themselves of a huge bad contract/got rid of their leader. they swung for the fences for what would be considered the best center in the eastern conference if healthy. these are all precisely UNsixer like moves.
obviously this has not worked out quite so well. the guy they built their team around has not played 1 second. the risk was worth the reward. and most people recognize that. it just didnt work out. this team was pretty much assembled like the dwight howard magic teams before that went bad. imagine that '09 team if howard missed the whole season. they would be in a similar position that the sixers find themselves in now.
this season has turned into an unmitigated disaster, so now you tank (seems like they already are). get a good pick. they have cap space. they do not have any long term contracts except jrue and thad. huge off season is coming up. the typical sixers would not have any flexibility to improve. this team has flexibility.
and that josh smith trade that you hoped would happen would have been a regular sixersy type move by the way. i'm surprised you were for that. they're still only a handfull of games out of a playoff spot. that would have made them a little bit better in the short term. might have slipped into the 8 seed. we don't need that. turner and hawes only have 1 year left on their contracts. those are tradeable parts this summer if they so choose.

bynum diagnosed with degenerative knee condition ...
Is this official or was this the tidbit of info released by Skip Bayless? :shifty:
don't think it was official as bynum is basically rehabbing with his own doctors and the team finds out second ... on one hand it's bayless ... on the other ... bynum didn't show for his usual presser ... so, i'm guessing it's true ...

read an article a few years back about his knee's. there has always been serious concern about them, which is i'm sure that's why the lakers traded him. smart move on their part.
I'd like to line up the 6 Doctor's that cleared Bynum to play and make them Sixers season ticket holders for life. If it wasn't for bad luck, the 76ers wouldn't have much luck at all.
Alright, alright, alright!

truer words have never been typed in here.
Not so sure about that. Anyone who followed Bynum during his HS career knew he was injury-prone then. That, and he wouldn't play with a LITTLE boo-boo> .

well this is true...but he had to pass a physical in order for the trade to go through. nobody expected him to miss an entire season.

This is a "paint by numbers" example of how not to run a franchise.
There is zero end in sight for Philly basketball fans.
All that I once held as true
I stand alone without beliefs
The only truth I know is you.
...they just bought the franchise a year ago
All that I once held as true

i'm shocked, shocked
