It's only 9 games in and Iguodala already seems beaten up psychologically. Last night he said Utah had "a lot of high IQ players" (meaning, we don't) and "a great coach" (meaning, we don't). He must know his contract makes him untradeable, and he looks across the locker room and sees the broken down Brand, sucking away money and salary cap space for years to come, and he must start to see that his basketball future as endless losing and faint flashes of mediocrity. No wonder his effort has been inconsistent this season. But you can't feel bad for him, he makes $80 million. 73 more games and 3 more seasons of this FUBARness. Brace yourselves. (iao).
BRING BACK DI LEO. the players act like he`s still the coach.
This franchise will never recover from that last playoff game.
The 2 ed`s "have to pay for dileo"
This team stinks. The equivalent of the Phillies during the Ed Wade era. They will never win until they get a GM who really knows what he is doing.
This team is the worst 4-5 team I've ever seen. They've beaten the 1-7 Knicks the winless Nets and a Bucks team that hadn't figured out that Jennings could play yet. Jerry Sloan looked like he could coach a high school team over Jordan. What the heck is this offense????? Either this offense is terrible or the players can't execute it because it always seems to end up an isolation play with no time left on the clock. And for god's sake play Holiday, as fans we know you stink atleast give us something to look forward too. If both Brand and Dalembert are both in the starting lineup tonight I'm out. How can a guy making 80 mil not be able to hit an open shot. He's like a gold plated Reggie Evans.
Iggy must go. He wants to be the leader, but he can't lead by emotion only. Take him out of Philly. Let the new stars rise. Buy this cream puff midget out. He is another AI
We're only 3 games back and learning a new system, and look at all the doom and gloom, LOL, LOL, LOL!!! What a bunch of losers these posters are, LOL! Get out from behind your keyboards and get some exercise, it will make you a more positive person! I know, you've given up hope of ever getting in shape, and leading a minutely positive life! No sympathy here!
Sixers might be able to play better with what would be their strongest starting front court of speights, dal. and brand. What they do with the rest would be up in the air. Smith, carney, green, ivey kapono are a waste. Young, who even knows? Not a good defender,assist man, suspect handle and suspect shot.
Johnnydeagle: listen to the players after the games and to Jordan himself, and to Donyell Marshall and read Kate Fagan and Bob Cooney, and then question the posters here. They are three games back in a weak conference, only because they are playing in the worst division in pro sports, having beaten a depleted Nets team twice and an awful Knicks team and getting walloped by Orlando, Boston, Orlando, and Detroit. They have shown little sign of improvement in the new "system" you are touting, seem confused over the rotation, in which their prized free-agent acquisition, sits on the bench every fourth quarter and their highly touted draft pick sits virtually all the time (while Utah's two rookie guards have a field day against them), have a center who still commits stupid fouls, thereby limiting his minutes, and rarely play the hustling defense they played under Cheeks and Dileo. Don't blame the posters for the faults of ownership.
Snider should direct Stefanski to put most of this bunch (i.e., Iggy, Brand, Dalembart, Brand) on the disabled list, and bring Erving, Malone, Cheeks, Toney, and Barkley out of retirement. This city will then have a winner and pack Wachovia with fans too! The young bucks like Speights, Young, and Williams could give the all stars and hall of famers some rest.
We passed on Maynor in favor of Holiday. Another friggin' brilliant move. For once can we take the guy who can already play instead of the erratic guy with "upside?"
This is to iggy...if we suck...u should just jack up shots to avd over 20 at least for you can go to the allstar game....i dont see us making the playoffs...

It looks pretty bad right now, especially for my guy Fast Eddy Stefanski. I can't help but feel for the poor shnook. Everybody, and I mean EVERYBODY was surprised that he landed a BIG free agent in Brand. All the media lauded his effort in bringing him here, including all of the fan base. And even though it was a little tough in meshing the gears early last year, you could SEE that Brand looked worth the price. But now, after the injury, and the constant roster changes, the coaching rotation and endless re-defining of the goals for this team.....it has come to this. I'm afraid that Fast Eddy is slowly walking the plank. I'm pretty sure he will last out the season, but will be heading elsewhere after that. Damn shame. I REALLY wish this could have worked out.
Our point is in Portland. Our two is in Utah. And our grit is in Toronto. Our problem is here. Need a GM that understands the value of defense and brings in a coach that does the same. There are few defensive skills on this team. Holliday maybe. Play out this year for the draft.
I have been a Sixers fan since 1975 but I wonder if this franchise will even be in the city in another 5 years.
