I’d be honored to attend Willie Green’s nuptials, where do I apply? Although, it almost sounds like some harebrained desperate idea from the Sixers marketing department: “2 tickets to Sixers-Wizzards, 2 hotdogs, 2 sodas and 2 invitations to Willie Green’s nuptials this May with 2 Sixers Dancers as your dates…”

I’ll agree Dave and tk76. I was thinking the same thing. I was at that game. Brand was stroking the 15-footer and we easily handled the Wiz. Looking for us to put them away early tonight and for Brand to quiet the rumor mill.

I think this would be a perfect opportunity for Brand to assert himself amidst the stupid Chad Ford rumors with a 20 & 10.

I’ll take anything close to the 27/9 he put up against Wash in DiLeo’s 1st game.

St. Joe’s pride: JJ and Suede, now that Jameer is an all star (a shame Iverson robbed another more deserving player of a spot though) and D. West has carved out a great niche for himself in the NBA, there’s only one step left for our Hawks to put their official stamp on the NBA…

Let the Dwayne Jones era begin.

vs. Wizards: Living in DC, I have gotten the “honor” of watching one too many Wizards games. This team plays absolutely no defense, their backcourt is a hodge podge mess of talent right now, and their frontcourt, Jamison aside, is incredibly inconsistent, even though they have some decent young talent there.

I would really like to see our Sixers take advantage of this flailing team and just smash them out of the building. And given the Wizards lack of interior defense in particular, and that Jamison is a bit undersized himself, I think this would be a perfect opportunity for Brand to assert himself amidst the stupid Chad Ford rumors with a 20 & 10.

Dannie When I edit my writing, it sometimes appears on your blog space-illogical after sending; when that occurs, feel free to make it more readable. Thanks.

suede

a) don’t see why not; 8 pts. aren’t hard to replace, but a poised and deferring mind is

b) negligible influence; by your 20s, ya either got it or ya don’t

c) yes, have already suggested that combo here with that purpose in mind, though quickest PGs would give ‘em trouble

“one other thing” m2 old for hypotheticals; plus, can’t speak for others

Jumpin, a 3 point question off of your previous discussion with Morty; a] can Thad do what Willie is doing now offensively opposite Iggy. b] can Willie and Reggie be used to push L.Will. and Marreese to defend and make smart plays off the bench and accept their roles. c] can a Royal and Willie backcourt be used to turn up defensive pressure when needed. And one other thing, if Willie gets married does Morty get an invitation ?

suede 2 smart, tough, poised competitors. Glad they’ve each found good NBA spots.

Dannie, your thoughts on Elton I believe are dead on. If out of the blue a player that is a perfect guy for this team became available [Stoudemire ?] than Elton may get moved but otherwise he will dictate where we go from here. I personally think he can run well enough for it to work here. A.Miller and his agent are probably going to realize sooner rather than later that the market is slim for him out there. Any contender out west can!t possibly want him going against T.Parker or C.Paul in a 7 game series and does he really want to start over at a Sacramento or Minnesota . E.S. will offer him a deal that is fair for him and the team and I believe he likes it here just by his body language this season, articles about his high school football experience and stuff shows me he is opening up a bit. It is a gamble if an agreement isn!t talked about before the trade deadline but with Royal, L.Will., and probably a young p.g. from the draft in place over the summer it is a hand that E.S. is probably willing to play. Jumpin, that was some backcourt St. Joes had, wasn!t it.
