Fire BK wrote:I love Mo's heart. But there will always be times that I question his brain. Whats' going on inside there? 'hmmm Thaddeus isn't a great start against KG. I should go with Evans.' Ok, I get that.

But why in God's name does that warrant starting WG over Thad? Why can't Mo think outside the box? If you really want to use Evans at the 4, then start Iggy & Thad together on the wings.

How could you possibly bench him the way he's been playing? In my mind, Thad's been the primary reason for this season's resurgence. You're already at a disadvantage up front... Why not use your advantage on the wings? WG doesn't scare anybody. He's so vanilla.


Remember, there is a lot to be said for putting rookies into positions where they have a good chance of being successful. This a BIG game for the Sixers and it might be a little too much to ask of Young to start him against a quality player. And, btw .. things do not appera to be working out too badly ... there is still plenty of time for Thadeus to play.

so now Young is not even the 2nd man of the bench?
i dont care about mismatch , Young is much better then Smith on both sides of the floor , and they play zone defense now , why is Thad not in the game???

The buzz in the building isn't the only thing back... this game thread is at Page 7 with 8 minutes left in the 2nd quarter. Has the game thread also returned from the grave???

Damn I am hype tonight.

It is good to see that the Sixers are a confident enough team to just keep playing regardless of that terrible start.
If you cannot convince others that you are right, you probably aren't.

Im gonna say Webbers first game here when they faced the Kings...place was crazy...i know i was anxious watching it at my buddys house thinking about the possibility of two hall of fame level players teaming up...little did i know that cwebb coming up short on the o-rebound put back at the buzzer would foreshadow his whole time here (and most of his career)

lovin that smith jumper too!!!!
