Comments on: The Sixers Suck! The Sixers are Soft! The Sixers are Losers! Everyone is to Blame! http://www.reclinergm.com/the-sixers-suck-the-sixers-are-soft-the-sixers-are-losers-everyone-is-to-blame/ Thu, 09 Feb 2012 21:59:18 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2 By: cody http://www.reclinergm.com/the-sixers-suck-the-sixers-are-soft-the-sixers-are-losers-everyone-is-to-blame/#comment-48203 cody Mon, 18 Apr 2011 23:53:54 +0000 http://www.reclinergm.com/?p=8129#comment-48203 That why the Sixers made the playoffs 2 straight years from when this article was made? Even with all these problems Sixers still make up for it late in the season. Why don't you go hating on the Bucks or someone who actually isn't good. If you are in the playoffs you aren't bad or else you wouldn't belong there. That why the Sixers made the playoffs 2 straight years from when this article was made?

Trade Iggy for a real shooting guard like a joe johnson type.  Also as I stated earlier in the week trade Lou W now, when his value is at its highest and freaking play Jrue no matter how unready he is.

Give them to the Yankees like they did with Abreu and let the young players emerge. Too bad the stupid NBA cap doesn't allow it. Do like the Phils did with soft players.

If this escalates I'm not sure what ES will do. Those 3 have been ID'd by management as the team's core. If they are at odds with the coach that represents a huge problem.

Good and more so great players get the message and play better.  Everything is a challenge to them.  Everything drives them.  They use anything to motivate themselves.

I see none of that on this roster.

The thing that pisses me off the most is NO ONE is taking ANY responsibility or accountability for the overall crap this team has displayed so far this season.

This has nothing to do with game-to-game comments.  This team has barely played ONE good game yet and no one is saying anything or showing any emotion.

I just question this rosters toughness and will to win and fire.

Effort and fire/passion are completely different things for me.
