he hasnt done anything positive all season....there are a boat load of sg's in the league that could avg 13pts given the shots and minutes green gets.

Yup.. Trying to get us a franchise player on this year's draft.

I find it Ironic that on a day when it is nationally publisized that our new GM says he likes Carney, his great Athleticiam. His hustle, and his attitude, and wants to evaluate him. He doesn't get 1 minute of PT tonight. Hmmmm! :-)

BUT then again i look at it as another L closer to getting a top 5 pick.
which is MUCH needed

This game was lost by Dalembert. His inability to even contain Bosh made it impossible for our defense to function. We had to double team down low (as we have done too often this season) and it leaves people wide open.

We're headed to another 35-47 season. This is just sad.

If this team finished 35-47, I'll be impressed. Besides having a brutal stretch of games through most of January.... the Sixers have another really tough stretch through most of March. The team is now 14-22. I'm not seeing this team finishing out this year 21-25.

It's so frustrating to see Sam overplay Bosh everytime he touches the ball. The little things that he does wrong seem very correctable, yet we're always talking about them.

so im guessing this game didn't go as good.... Thad's boxscore looks good again. Predicting his good play after that laker game is looking good!

The reason the sixers won't win 35 games this year is because Joe Smith >>>> Reggie Evans. He was an outstanding player for the Sixers last year, and they just don't have that type of player this year. I expect around 30 wins.

Sombody explain Mo's subtitution pattern please....Young and Smith are not playing that bad and he removes them for Green and ? ...Williams defense has become terrible as he can not even stay in front of his man ...Bench Willie or trade him for at 2025 second round pick or a first rounder in the WNBA...please

Tis the season to be showcasing players. I imagine that if Stefanski is going to have any chance of moving Green, Carney, or Evans that these guys are going to have to continue to get some run.

I'm sure the plan after the deadline or after the next trade is made will be to play the young guys more.

This a ghostown, my friend. As this team went down and the players started to leave.... so did the posters and the page count.

It'll be interesting to watch this board come back to life next season when we will have, in theory, more star power on the roster and possibly a new head coach.

After Iverson was dealt... I said that this board would lose a lot of it's dead weight and sure enough... POOF! I imagine that if the Sixers land any sort of a big name player this summer that we will see a lot of posters with names like "AmareIggy4Eva" or "JasonJoshSmith" or "RoseTheBEaST". :-)
