But here is the other trade they are trying to attempt, this time with the Clippers: New York would trade Zach Randolph to the Clippers for Tim Thomas and Cuttino Mobley.  <a href="http://www.realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/55588/20081121/walsh_waiting_on_confirmation_from_clippers/" rel="nofollow">http://www.realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/55588/20081121/walsh_waiting_on_confirmation_from_clippers/</a># Get this– the Knicks are having a fire sale and are definitely trying to get LeBron to New York.  Let’s hope that doesn’t happen.

I am glad that our Division rival made this deal because Harrington is talented,  but is a headcase.  How many of those do the Knicks need?  Crawford is in fact one of their better players and gets into those amazing shooting rhythms, especially at MSG.  

For the Warriors, Crawford does help Stephen Jackson in terms of shifting his position to SF, but what about Corey Maggette?  What happens to him?  The Warriors are glad they got rid of Harrington, but they need a PF.  Now, there is a possibility that Crawford might not play this Sunday against the Sixers due to physicals and the league waiting for approval of when both players involved in the trade can play.

Well, with or without Crawford, that team can still score and play small ball, it’s the other end of the floor that is their major problem, similar to the Indiana Pacers.

So far in the Sixers losses:

-Turnovers have been high
-Energy level has not been consistent between starters and bench
-Willie Green and Lou Williams struggle
-Mo Cheeks reacts poorly in substitutions and kills momentum when Sixers runs are made.
-lack of proper playing time for Kareem Rush and Donyell Marshall

Am I right thus far?

I!m curious to see how we play against the Celts and Pistons. Seems to be a very passive group and I second the call for more Ivey and Evans.If L.Will., as quick as he is, won!t get in the opposing p.g.!s shirt, then sit him.

You already noted the -5 stretch in 1 minute with Lou, and then a +3 for the rest of the quarter with the same lineup except Ivey comes in for Lou. Cool site, no? bski: If you look at the Popcorn game glow, the Sixers are at +9 in the first quarter, when Mo subs in Green for Young, and that lineup goes -6.
