I have absolutely had it with Dalembert. He is by far the dumbest player in the NBA. He has been in the league seven years and still doesnt know opponents tendencies, when to back off and when to attack defensively, how to play D with his feet and not his hands, how to take one step outside the paint on O so he doesnt get called for 3 sec. I read a story in ESPN Mag a couple years ago where he was taking 15 foot jumpers in practice and someone said he shud be practicing FTs and he said, “It’s the same shot, isn’t it?” That told me all I need to know about this moron.

On Speights’ monster ‘air’ dunk in 2nd half:  Attitude was right on.  Too bad Marreese threw it down 3 foot early.  Stupid play.

Miller’s cross-court heave to Iguodala, resulting in turnover: stupid, unfundamental play.  Also, 2 other TOs.

Dalembert personifying the Petrified Forest National Park when Martin slices down lane with purpose, and 9 seconds left – dunks in Sammy the Space Man’s face without any trouble.  Stupid non-play.  There’s the epitome of your 60 million dollar center, folks!  Martin:  “I’m going to take it to the basket.  The lane was there, their big man just stood under the basket.”   Real player meets fake player.

Miller’s punk walk across lane in front of Atkins with game on line, resulting in technical:  stupid play.  Miller:  “I didn’t do nothin’, I didn’t say nothin’.”  [delusional]

Iguodala’s pet isolation, dribble right, reverse spin ‘I’ll-flush-this-game-down-the-drain-yet’ move (you watch):  stupid play.

Iguodala:  3 other TOs. 

‘Lightening’ Lou, our finger-snappin’, undersized 2 guard whose defense is nowhere near ‘thunder’:  5 TOs. 

Young:  30 minutes -  1 rebound, 1 assist … ??

Dalembert:  27 minutes – 2 points … ?

‘Arc’ defense:  invisible, or dispirited & ineffectively amorphous and dunderheaded.

Sixers are outscored 37-22 in deciding 4th quarter, while blowing a 17 pt. lead in game’s last 16 minutes, however; 

  -  Iguodala says, “We played well enough to win.  We just didn’t.”
  -  Miller says, “We played solid the whole game and did exactly          what we were supposed to do.” 
  -  Coach DiLeo says, “I’m proud of my players.”  
  -  Daily News headline says, “Sixers play well but fall short against       
      Nuggets” … so much for journalistic objectivity.

The Philadelphia Spigots; 12 wins, 17 losses.

Next up, Utah Jazz.         

lo fucking l
When this prick had the ball in his hands i just couldn’t believe it.  Keep on giving this pathetic piece of shit the rock at the end of close games and we will be wacking off to the draft once again.

Sammy’s off balance fadeaway in the first was priceless.  Keep Thad and Speights and blow this team up.   I came back from Greece for this shit?
 

DiLeo supposedly “knows” these guys very well.  He knows their strengths and weaknesses.  He knows the type of ball the team needs to play.  He knows what needs to change in order for us to progress and become a winning team.  It’s a good thing we didn’t bring in a coach from outside the organization who didn’t “know” everything DiLeo knows, otherwise where would we be?

DiLeo said that he was going to hold each player more accountable but that doesn’t seem to be working so well now does it?  Sure, he’s made a few changes but overall it’s pretty much the same coaching of the same guys who are doing the same things and getting the same results.  In the end the results are all that matters, right?  Again, that why Cheeks was let go, right?

We are on coach number two this season.  How many coaches will we need to go through before we start to think that it might not be the coaches after all?  Just wondering.

I’m with Zack.  I think a major shakeup is getting closer by the day.
