That first Carney shot was ugly as anything he could have broken the backboard with that stuff.

Willie Green is a momentum killer.

But unfortunately Thad was playing a lot.

New and improved jumpshooting iguodala does nothing for me.

We might be the only team in the league where our bench out plays our starters and give us more. I mean looking at our startin offense makes me physically ill. Reggie Evans and willie green are just disappointing at times. If willie isnt hitting those quick jumpers he takes, he looks just like a fool out there. I think if we want to tank games, we need to play our starters more minutes than our bench.

Is Cheeks mother*ucking stupid? The young guys brought us back and he sits young and smith on the bench? Is he stupid? And now we're ten points back again. I could :banghead:

I think Cheeks is going to save the Young guys for the end of the game for a surge.

Thad already played 12 straight minutes, he needed a rest.

Well, I never thought I would be saying this ... but ... I think I would welcome moving Igoudala. He is becoming more of a negative than a positive. He can't shoot and he thinks he is a playmaker. I hardly ever see him do anything useful anymore. Just crazy stuff most of the time ... acrobat drives to the basket ... no finish .... a 2 inch pass to Dalembert after he cannot quite get to the basket ... ridiculous stuff. The problem is he looks spectacular at times but those times are becoming less and less often.

Who cares, Iguodala plays 15 straight mins almost every game from 1st to mid of the second quarter. With moving Young and Smith to the bench and the same with Lou he killed our game. This loss will be on the coach without a doubt.

And I could bet that he will start Evans again together with Green after the break and all of a sudden we will be 24 points behind. Way too much for our young guys to bring us back out of such a hole. Man why can't he understand that Young is already the player, Green never will become. And Smith scores 8 points in 8min and sits on the bench again. All of a sudden the Starters are back and no energy is on the court.

Why not give Young 30+min? He's on the way for 26 or so right now. Why not play him more? The same thing with Smith. He doesn't even get 10min in the last games. He has to get 20+. Evans minutes have to be reduced to 15.

Welcome to the club. :clap:

Last season I stopped watching the Sixers after the Iverson trade. I might have caught 3 games, so I didn't have the same love for Iguodala that many Sixers fans aqcuired. I started over FRESH this season and it became apparent to me that Iguodala was INDEED the same player that was playing with Iverson but with just more responsibility and cockiness/arrogance. When have we ever even seen Iggy dive for a ball or hit the floor while driving to the hole? He has turned into a McGrady that can't score.

Which is a problem.

Thad should probably get 30ish, but in 8 minute spurts, young guys aren't used to playing so many minutes straight.

Great yet another Iggy bashing game thread........JUST WHAT WE NEED! you guys fail to realize that Igyy was out there when we were making that run........but hey you guys are right Iggy sucks. let's trade him for **** and Thus Thad Young would carry us to a title....I'm there.

TheAnswerAI · Post #40 » by **TheAnswerAI** » Mon Jan 21, 2008 8:29 pm

The only thin I wanted to say is that it was the wrong time to put those guys on the bench. Use a timeout to get them some rest, but you can't let happen something like that.
