I would like to chalk this up as a loss but I doubt it will happen. We lost the last game we played against them so there is motivation in that plus the Sixers probably want to win one against there old coach. So I'd say a a close win for the Sixers.

hopefully a lose since one well timed win sends us out of the rose bowl

If we miss out on the "Rose Bowl" and end up picking in the 5-8 range who would we like to get saying that Rose, Gordan, Beasley are all gone..NBADraft has Mayo at 10, with us currently at 8 looking at Brook Lopez, with Mayo and Budinger after us ....Who do you think we should be looking at in the 5-8 range?

DeAndre Jordan will probably be taken 1-4 if he comes out this year, but if he was at 5-8, we'd be crazy not to take him.

1)Jordan
2)Blake Griffin
3)Bayless
4)Mayo(high risk, high reward kind of guy)

I said this in a previous thread, but if Ed thinks we need to take a point guard in the draft, I would love to have Jared Bayless. The kid is a beast and his numbers are slightly better than Rose. He shoots better from 3 and he slightly out dimes him. Rose is a damn good athlete, but Bayless is right there with him.
And I'm not completely sold on DeAndre Jordan, because he hasn't had any great games.

Unfortunately, 7th is as low as we will get from here on out in the Rose Bowl.

We have an easy stretch heading into the All Star break, and at worse we win 3-4 games and distance ourselves from the bottom of the pack.

I doubt with all of our youth we take on another project in the late lottery, and see us moving our pick and cap space in order to land a relatively young vet- maybe Wilcox or some like that.

O.J. Mayo is the absolute LAST thing we need right now.

This game may be over early.

Yeah great idea by Cheeks to put Evans on Granger :banghead:

. Why can't you just use another S5 if you already see that they start with Granger on the 4. I don't understand that. With Thad in there instead of Evans it would be not that bad early on.

Wish we would cover the 3 point line.

Wildfire · Post #15 » by **Wildfire** » Mon Jan 21, 2008 7:35 pm

I've made it a point to watch Willie lately and he plays ZERO defense

Sixersftw · Post #16 » by **Sixersftw** » Mon Jan 21, 2008 7:37 pm

thad is a much better passer than advertised

Sixersftw · Post #17 » by **Sixersftw** » Mon Jan 21, 2008 7:42 pm

someone please guard the freethrow li.....threepoint stripe.

SendEm · Post #18 » by **SendEm** » Mon Jan 21, 2008 7:45 pm

Wow Thad looked like Adrian Dantley/Mark Aguire on that post up move.

Sixersftw · Post #19 » by **Sixersftw** » Mon Jan 21, 2008 7:47 pm

yeah that move was quite sick. he's probably our 2nd best post player....to andre miller....

Wildfire · Post #20 » by **Wildfire** » Mon Jan 21, 2008 7:52 pm

Thad might already be the best finisher on the team.
