Tormented, exactly. Theo Ratliff has that right, as he’s been a vet for how long and played on a team that got to the Finals. Iggy has yet to do anything besides compete in the Dunk Contest.

I think this playoff series again showed that you need a half court game and shooters to win in the playoffs. I’d love to see a lineup of Miller, a True SG, Young, Speights, and Brand as our starting lineup next year. I wonder if Joe Dumars would trade Rip for Sam and Lou?

Dan: agreed that Iggy doesn’t deserve the right.
Fact is, I doubt you see other young emerging stars like Brandon Roy or Dwight Howard doing something like that.

Dannie: for your new post i have a caption: SIXERS PUT IN THEIR PLACE!!
or SIXERS PUT DOWN BY ORLANDO; the former most adequately describes what happened.

for everyone pushing the panic button: hold on! geez one game, then all of a sudden we are the worst team in the NBA? this game didnt tell us anything we didnt know. if you were as cynical as jjg, then you could even say you could see this coming.

Iggy has yet to earn the right to call anyone out, including DiLeo. He’s getting paid star-caliber money, but playing like he should make the MLE. He’s not a #1 on a team, nor a #2, and maybe a #3.

They HAVE to get rid of Iggy, Dalembert, Green, and maybe even Lou if they’re going to improve. Brand has to be their starting C next year, with Speights at PF and Young at the small.

I’d love to trade Iggy to Portland for Fernandez, Rodrigez, and Outlaw.

I just read Iggy’s post game comments. He threw the ‘young guys’ under the bus and basically gave a vote of no confidence for DiLeo. Its okay to have your opinion but if you want to be a leader, don’t go complaining to the press hours after the season ends. Iggy might have his superstar moments but one play last night showed me he is at least part of the blame. With 10 mins left and the Sixers showing some life, down by 15, he had the ball 17 feet out w/ four Magic in the lane. Marshall was at the top of the key unattended. Iggy looked at him, then drove right into the pack, missed the shot, the Magic pushed the ball up the floor and just like that, a potential 12 pt deficit turned into 17. Those are the moments that define turnarounds and Iggy failed. If you are going to trash your teammates for bad decisions, you better be pretty infallible yourself.

For next season, I have 2 simple requests:

a) a guard who can shoot and b) a coach who is no more mister nice guy.

That is all.

Man that was disgusting. I will write a new post that will carry you guys through the weekend if you even want to talk about the Sixers. I am going to IUP for the weekend for my younger brother’s graduation.

Gonna be hard to get the stink blowed off of that one. A legendary loss for an organization in need of a boost, but not especially deserving of one.

Brand’s better days are behind him. Thad’s are to come (ceiling very much in question). No meshing. Team was comprised of proverbial “up-and-comers”, has-beens and never-will-bes. With contracts as they are, 10-9-8-76ers won’t be singin’ anytime soon.

I don’t think tonights showing was hard to believe, this collection of losers just did what they have been doing the whole season. Letting us down.

To take a lyric from that lyrical genius Emmit Smith, This thing needs to be “Blowed Up”

Brand at the 4, Thad at the 3 excites me. Now what the hell is Stefanski going to do with the rest of the roster? the coach? Willie? Reggie? Iggy? Sammy?

Truly, none on the roster excite me. That is one goofy collection of players, all limited or without many clues as to how to play as part of a unified whole. And a broom to the coaching staff & administration too. An elimination game and they show up with those heads, absent heart? Pathetic. Hard to believe tonight’s showing.
