Default Re: 76ers...

I follow the Sixers fairly closely. They suck for a few reasons...

Have you looked at their lineup?

Glenn Robinson - Washed up,overpaid, often injured, old man

Derrick Coleman - See above

Aaron Mckie - I like the guy, but he's nowhere near the player he was on the 2001 team

Eric Snow - Has always been mediocre, it's just shining through way more in this less than mediocre season.

Zendon Hamilton/Amal McCaskill - Zendon who? Amal who? Get off the court...

Marc Jackson - Injured most of the season, not that good anyway

Willie Green - I like Willie Green, not a great player, but plays hard when he gets the chance

Kyle Korver - The fan favorite. I like him too, has a nice shot, it's good he's getting some development time when everyone else is injured.

Kenny Thomas - Probably my favorite player on the team right now. Only veteran that seems to care right now.

Greg Buckner/John Salmons - Not bad players, show hustle and grit when they get the chance...Will never be NBA starters though.

Allen Iverson - OK, he's done in Philly. I love the guy and will always have fond memories of him, but it's been a bad year. Too many hard knocks are finally getting to him, and that thing when he benched himself really pissed me off. He needs to leave so we can rebuild.

Also, we lost Larry Brown this year and we've had two unexperienced head coaches. I'm not putting much blame on them at all, I blame the management and players for the poor performance, but going from a hall of famer to Randy Ayers is a huge difference.

That's about all I have to say...It's dissapointing, but the Eastern Conference as a whole sucks in the NBA anyway, so it's not surprising.

Now I'm turning my focus to a Flyer playoff run, the Phillies new season, and the Eagles new season. All which I am very optimistic about...T.O! T.O! T.O!

Edit: Whoops, forget about Samuel Dalembert. I like him a lot, plays great D, if he works on his offense a bit he could be a nice starting center especially in the East which doesn't have great centers to begin with.
