I still wish I could have watched it but nobody would tell me where I could see it at :nonono:

Like Big Ben when he was w/ Detroit, Jeff can be almost the same... Not as good of a shot-blocker, but a better overall rebounder, and one helluva passer, w/o all the sulking about not getting any offensive plays for him. Jeff, the consumate pro!

I don't know, Harrison and Ike might challenge. But oh god, where would we be without Foster.

Come on JT. Finish of this night by closing the game off strong!

I can already tell, Dunleavy and Rush will split my Pacesetter vote.

35 assists w/ 18 from our PGs... Quite impressive!

The Paaaaaaaaacers win!

I wonder why Dieners assist count is 6 on NBA.com, and 3 on ESPN.com.. I'll go with NBA.com, afterall, it is official.

You can put on the board, YES!!! I'm not a WhiteSox fan, but I do love that call!

I think nobody realized this, but we are back at 8th spot!!! :clap:

And just 0.5 behind the Hawks for the 7th spot.

Let's go Pacers! I'm not used to watch the playoffs without Pacers.

Our second-half schedule is a little easier...maybe we'll have a shot.

Nice win. I imagine Slick probably has a sore throat after all those "Boom Baby's" today. :lol:

What are your thoughts about our 2 rookies Thad and Smith?

jeremy1215 · Post #114 » by **jeremy1215** » Tue Jan 22, 2008 3:18 am

I like them both but I like Smith a little better, I don't know why but he could be a better Nenad Krstic.

I like them as well, but w/ all that athleticism on the team, how come you guys aren't running more?

You have Dre, who's a great PG who could get around 9 or 10 helpers in an uptempo style. And with no real shooters on the team, I thought that it'd be a track meet today between both teams, but the Pacers seemed to be doing most of the running.

Also, I thought that you guys would pressure our PGs full court as well, b/c the few times you did, we seemed to hand the ball right to you.

I'm not about to criticize Mo Cheeks, but playing to your strengths could not only help the team, but also produce a much more exciting style of play and put butts back in the seats in Philly!

Yeah, our new GM said he wanted them to play at a faster tempo. It seems like they play at a faster tempo when we have our young bench players in the game and slow it down when Miller/Evans are in the game. We should be playing at a fast tempo but Cheeks doesn't seem to be willing to change.
