• Commented on Harris Ready to Get to Work
  Fair enough, Zeller has shown more on the floor by a wide margin. I guess, like Brian, I am just sick of going with bigs who are soft or think they are skill players. Too many years of Geiger, Shawn...
• Commented on Harris Ready to Get to Work
  My only concern about the Hinkie hire is that he is a bit young. Being only 35 and coming from a non-hoops background. This can result in fresh thinking, but it also can result in avoidable mistakes. I sort of...
• Commented on Bynum Is the Only Answer
  Committed talented superstars are not the only winners of titles. Shaq is an example of how a freakish big can win despite never fully tapping into his talent by never developing any kind of shooting touch outside of 6 feet...

  Wow, what was I thinking watching that game....
• Commented on Miami Shooting for 20 Straight
  The floor view in the end of this video is amazing. Truly a game of inches. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxavps1X-t0...

• Commented on The Celts Sans Rondo
  Sorry "taking" should read tanking. My posting execution is Sixer inspired- pride, passion and whatever....
• Commented on The Celts Sans Rondo
  IMO the key to effective tanking is running enough sets through Hawes and Wilkens. Maybe some Ivey iso. Or just continue running the same sets where you set a phantom screen resulting in Jrue getting doubled. That seems effective. I've...
• Commented on Make Rubio Prove It
  I left out the list: Kukoc to Big Dawg to Webber to Brand to Bynum. Ech paid 10M+ to be marginal, injured or both....
• Commented on Make Rubio Prove It
  In the past 10 seasons, how many years have the Sixers had an injured F/C getting paid 10M+ money to be hobbled or washed up? That is like 10 continuous years of Jeff Ruland re-runs. Is it Ground Hogs Day...
• Commented on Now Or...Who Knows When
  Wish the Sixers had listened to me and picked up Hickson on he cheap :) Jrue would have made him look good....
• Commented on Griz Tonight, Things Looking Up
  "Gasoline" sounds about right. I was surprised the refs allowed Bayless to body up against Jrue all game when he attempted to drive. But maybe just really good defense. I have not seen anyone else keep Jrue out of the...
• Commented on Griz Tonight, Things Looking Up
  Unrelated, I sort of like the idea of starting N.Young. Sure, he is a hugely flawed player, but he is not afraid to score, which taes pressure off of Jrue. I think we will be seeing a ton more double...
• Commented on Game 43 Game Thread: PHI vs. NYK
  Yeah, as I posted before, there have been 50 previous 22 year old All-Stars, of whom, 47 have better WS/48 than Jrue. But it is all gravy based on even the best case expectations most of us had for him....
• Commented on Pressing Questions: Jan 25, 2013
  Good read. Regarding what he said about Jrue... If Bynum is ever healthy and they build a decent team- then Jrue will get to focus more on defence, and I expect he will become Gary Payton....
• Commented on Pressing Questions: Jan 25, 2013
  Man is Bynum huge. "like 8 ft tall" as Jrue puts it hardly and exaggeration. He looks bigger than Shaq....
• Commented on Don't Dig Yourselves a Hole
  The Sixers are really bad. I did not buy into their early flukey 10-6 start, but I also did not think they were as bad as they clearly are. Their last win (Raps) sort of sums it up. Career games...
• Commented on Game 41 Game Thread: PHI vs. SAS
  Bad night for Jrue to press and have a terrible game. I guess it's part of the learning curve....
• Commented on A Subtle Adjustment
  Cousins puts up numbers, but I worry that he can't score inside. His career percentages at the rim (per hoopdata) are near;y Hawes bad. And he takes a fair amount of shots at 3-9 (3+ per game) feet where he...
• Commented on Time To Stop The Dive?
  Per this sighting, Bynum says he'll be back next month. Hope he does not throw out his back lifting the cases of beer......

• Commented on Pressing Questions: Jan. 11, 2013
  I see what you are saying about the pace. And Collins said in the preseason that he wanted quick 3's and early offense. Unfortunately, they have not been able to carry this through. But it is a tried and true...
• Commented on Pressing Questions: Jan. 11, 2013
  In terms of the offense, I think any big with a pulse (meaning someone who can finish if spoon-fed within 4 feet of the rim) and the team scores 8 more points a game. That is making zero changes to...
• Commented on No Rest For The Mediocre, Off to TO
  Even Jrue looked brutally bad in this one. Wonder if he is hurt, tired or just mentally broken. Either way, pathetic all around. Tough to be a fan of this soft, lazy, broken, untalented team....
• Commented on Welcome Home...Now Win A Game
  Watching the game I was thinking the same thing that Brian mentioned. This team has one above average starter and a few guys who are arguably above average NBA players. Really, I could care less if they brought back anyone...

  I'm hoping they play a lot better now they are home. I guess we will see....
• Commented on By Valentine's Day
  Not really ill portents given they are 5-14 in the last 19 games. More like ill results well reflected in the W-L column. There was fair warning befoer this free-fall started....
• Commented on By Valentine's Day
  Sure, he'll be an asset. I just worry about using 20M on that asset. 30M on Iggy and Brand effectively killed the Sixers chances to build a contender (short of finding a superstar in the draft, which ET unfortunately failed...
• Commented on By Valentine's Day
  Just looking at the ESPN pre-season NBA player rankings... #73: Jrue #74: Varajao #75: George All three having great seasons on struggling teams. All 3 ranked way too low based on the first 1/3 of this season....
• Commented on By Valentine's Day
  My biggest worry is not Bynum being able to come back. I'm mostly worried that Bynum shows enough to be resigned but then ends up declining due to a progressive loss of mobility due to arthritis. Sort of like Brand,...
