I STILL have a hard time understand how you guys couldn't beat the Celtics this year, you were a much better team, so I have a question...
-Would you attribute the Semi-Final loss as to a lack of a go-to superstar, lack of confidence, or lack of coaching ability?
Nothing against Boston, I just think the 76ers were the much superior team

why Doug Collins is a good ass coach. He got our mediocre team at the top of the east most of the season and then to the 7th game in the second round.If any other coach had our talent they wouldn't even make the playoffs

6ers have been like my 3rd fave squad to watch this year and even I scratch my head at DC sometimes. I think this yr is the farthest this team goes with him as the HC

It's not the coach...they just don't have the right pieces in Places
This sum of this team is basically a great bench
Nice role players but no real horses
On top of that they are young now I don't know if this is why they are also basketball stupid because the shot selection and situational ball playing is terrible
It's possible the coach needs more time with some of these young guys and it's also possible they're not that good
Time will tell but I think It's a lil of both
I'd blow this thing up now cause with the Heat & d. rose
around they'll never get out of the east
We better not trade the best wing defender in the league (IGGY) for a soft ass pf that isn't aggressive in Gasol.
What we should do is amnesty Brand and go after one of these free agents like Eric Gordon, Andrew Bynum. If we could get an actual center then Thad Young could actually start.
I wanna see Thad put on like 15-20 pounds so he can get big in the paint cuz he too small to be a PF right now.

Would you keep Allen?
If you bring in Gordon, what happens with Williams and Holliday? They going fishing?
Iggy won't leave, Doug won't let that happen....
I got a slight feeling they will re-up Hawes for one more year
Brand came back strong next year and was really the backbone of this squad the past two years, but his time is up. He can still contribute on another team, but his contract is holding us back, so peace out
Lou won't and shouldn't stay, he has potential to start on a different squad...
I don't mind if Meeks stays, he's cheap.
What we need:
Starting Center (Vucevic not mentally ready to be a starter just yet)
Starting PF, unless we can get a really DOMINANT C, otherwise Thad can start at PF
Backup PG- somebody who can control the offense because Jrue and ET are both score first players
Backup wing player
Im hoping we can land Arnett Moultrie or Jared Sulinger in the draft

As long as they keep Holiday I'm cool.
No Doug is a very good coach but he does have a part in some of the losses this season and in the playoffs. But the idea of getting Doug to leave is out of the question, he the best thing to happen to this team since A.I and LB. And the players themselves have a big part to play as well for their inconsistency.
Lavoy should have been starting for Hawes this series the Bulls series Hawes showed up but outside of the 1st game Spence never showed up, meanwhile Lavoy was consistant with his jumper and played very good defense on Garnett. Lou was trash the entire playoffs save maybe 2 games, Meeks should have never touched the floor because he added nothing.
Doug falls in love with certain players and mask their faults, but I think if we had a real training camp and practice time the young guys may have been alot better. Most of these cats had to learn how to play with each other during the games. ET is still coming along so is Jrue. Honestly I never though they would play well together but this playoff run they played damn good ball together, they weren't always consistent but they showed they can be a very good backcourt.
Turner should have the ball in his hands, whether running point or point forward he is alot more effective in that position than at the 2. Jrue should move to the 2 because offensively he's shown alot more potential this season, but he's regressed as a pg. I said since last season the Sixers should have brought in a veteran pg to share time with Jrue to work on his pg skills. Turner has to work on his mental game and not making dumb basketball decisions, which I see now is why Doug may have pulled him so during the season much. But at the same time Lou would make consistently make plays that would have me at home like
please trade this nikka
Also I think the Sixers have to right core in Jrue,Evan,Iggy,Lavoy,and Thad they just need bigs and a scorer, don't let the media hype fool you Lou is not the guy we should be relying on to get us a bucket. If we could some how afford both Humphries and Kaman I think we're looking at a completely different team.
Call me crazy, but I would try to move Turner, dude is a good player but he can't shoot
He does every thing Iggy can do and they are basically the same player (Iggy being better of course) I never was crazy about Turner, I thought we should of took Demarcus Cousins
If we could trade turner and amnesty Brand, and bring in some free agents like Eric Gordon, and a big man like Chris Kaman/Bynum to be named you could start this line up:
PG: Holiday/Lou Will
SG: Gordon
SF: Iguodala
PF: Thad/Lavoy Allen
C: Bynum or Kaman/Vucevic
Add some rookies like Sullinger, or Arnett Moultrie
That's a serious lineup
