An offense that seems to focus on jump shooting but lack jump shot makers.  How utterly ridiculous. jjg   I’ve been calling out this organization every 2 or 3 posts I make.  Why in the world do they continue to keep these guys hiring, coaching and scouting talent is utterly ridiculous.  Someone has pictures on somebody and they are nasty!  Poor player talent evaluation, poor coach evaluation, poor court execution, poor decision making, poor fundamental ball players.

Not to say if he did they would at all be a contender but they would be better than they are.  That’s all the coaches job is, make the most of what players he has.  Give Jordan more talent and the players will win some more games despite him.  That isn’t a good thing to think regarding the coach.  Jordan has done nothing to maximize what this team could be doing or how this team should be playing to give them the best chance to win.  That is the biggest problem.

The roster needs upgrades no doubt about it if they want to compete for a championship.  But 5 wins and 17 losses with a team missing only one player from a year ago speaks largely to the coach.

I'd say we would still be frustrating to watch, but we would be in the playoff picture.  Certainly not as bad as what we are now.

Eddie Jordan was Stefanski's pick. Jordan is Stefanski's friend from their time with the Nets. If Jordan is fired, it's because someone at Comcast Spectacor fires both Jordan and Stefanski. There were coaches out there with major bona fides that the Sixers didn't even <i>talk</i> to. I don't need to go through the list, we already know who was out there. The point is, Stefanski didn't do his due diligence - it was a poorly held secret that Jordan was the top choice, and he was hired rather quickly. Does Jordan have job security? As much security as Stefanski. Personally, I think they're both going to be fired by the All-Star break if there isn't a turn around OR Brand is traded and he thrives wherever he goes.
