Did u all read Kate’s blog. Brand still isn’t starting and he is pissed!

This is a horrible situation that is becoming even worse. If you had a manual for how to screw up a situation as fast as possible, you could do it any better than EJ.
Short of declaring Willie Green his starting center, he’s screwed up in virtually every way. This is worse than when we hired Doug Moe off the beach…

Will this be an EJ complaint thread? Count me in! The team’s biggest problems are defense and rebounding – and EJ wants to play Thad at PF instead of Brand? Utterly ridiculous…

I said it before and I’ll say it again, I hated the hire. Eddie S refused to hire a coach with heart, discipline and a track record, Avery Johnson, Jeff Van Gundy or a fresh face; Thibodeau; no he hire’s his boy who hadn’t won squat! 2013 is a long, long, long way away.

Here’s Stefanski’s dilemma: he vouched for Eddie Jordan. Billy King had leeway, because of the success that Larry Brown had in Philly. Stefanski has no such leeway – he dumped Mo for DiLeo. Remember, Mo was dumped for a 9-14 start and for not incorporating Brand into the Sixers flow. With that in mind, Stefanski HAS to blow up this team to cater to Eddie Jordan, or it will cost Stefanski his job.
The end game is simple: the Sixers will be terrible for a very long time. Has any team won anything running the Princeton offense? Better still, did Jordan win anything with an arguably better roster in Washington?
Oh well. Such is the plight of a 76ers fan.

Oh man.
I remember when E.S. replaced Billy King. He said he had a plan to win a championship. A plan to build a winner.
He doesn’t appear to have made a plan B or C.
I don’t like where this is going…
