Comments on: Sixers vs. Pistons Sunday Afternoon Showdown http://www.reclinergm.com/sixers-vs-pistons-sunday-afternoon-showdown/ Philly sports blog for diehard Sixers & Phillies fans Sat, 13 Mar 2010 23:37:33 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: guest http://www.reclinergm.com/sixers-vs-pistons-sunday-afternoon-showdown/#comment-22921 guest Sun, 08 Nov 2009 22:21:53 +0000 http://www.reclinergm.com/?p=7875#comment-22921 As much as we want Brand and Sammy gone, it's not probable that we would get better on the court this year.  As Dannie pointed out earlier, moving someone like Brand would best benefit us by easing the stranglehold of our cap space.  I find it hard to believe we would find someone who can fix our biggest problems- Inconsistent rebounding, and Defense.   If I had to trade one or the other, I would trade Elton.  Sammy plays like an idiot, but at times he can rebound and play defense effectively.  Right now, Brand just doesn't look good.  Not only that, but he has never looked good on our team.  The sooner we are able to sign/trade for a player who fits our team and fixes some of our needs... the better.

If Dalembert were moved, Brand would be moved to starting center, a position where EB can thrive in more in this offense.

Brand AND the Sixers would get destroyed if he was our Center.  Brand can’t pass and can’t score against bigger opponents.  How exactly would he “thrive” in that situation?

You can’t just make comments like that with no context or reasoning.  That is wishful thinking at best.

McGrady? nah but Houston seems to be moving on. we went small in 2nd quarter and got killed with offensive boards. Ed tried to adjust to their small lineup and they just killed us. good thing Daye was misfiring from downtown. our  players are really not as smart as we need to play good basketball. wasted good performances by Iguodala and Green. ok defense too, bar the terrible job on the glass. Thad just needs to sort out himself. should shoot better from outside too. tough loss. detroit didnt play well plus they got a lot of lucky breaks. turnovers continue to kill our flow on offense. on to Phoeix. hope Speights is good t0 go, he and Iguodala really LOVE Phoenix.
