You are telling me the 6ers are better with Ollie on the court than Rodney Carney?

Well that has nothing to do with Carney. Carney isn't a pg and with Ollie out means AI is at pg again and i don't like that. Sure, he's definitely capable of putting a monstrous numbers playin the point but i don't want him taking all the pressure and wasting his energy on being a playmaker, bringing the ball up the court and also be a first option on offense. I would rather have solid PG who's gonna work for AI. So, the real question would be, are the 6ers better with GREEN on the court than Carney. That's the question. Carney should have ALL of his minutes and Green should be traded.

Well Iverson plays the bulk of his minutes at PG anyways with the CWebb, Daly, Korver and Iggy on the floor with him. I would start Carney at SF and Iggy at SG for defensive reasons and keep Korver coming off the bench for instant offence.

LOL all this recommendations and I'm not even a 6ers fan but a Raptors fan

Get Willie Green off this team!! Period!! I can't stand this anymore

[KingsGM-old]

Igoudala you're a disgrace. You should be ashamed of yourself for taking only 9 field goals with AI out. Go home you pussy.

Igoudala you're a disgrace. You should be ashamed of yourself for taking only 9 field goals with AI out. Go home you pussy.

exactly.
where have you been at the "selfishness classes" AI holds every other game ?

Hey Iggy, get a proper education, you pussy ...
 

[KingsGM-old]

Huh? You're nuts? If he were to have AI mindset he'd be a top 15 (exagaratin a bit cause he still doesn't have the that skillset) player in the league, therefore Sixers would be one of the better teams outhere (and don't even bother to type that AI couldn't play with another great player, i'm not buyin that crap). Heck, if he were to have Nate Robinson's heart and agressivnes he would have been an All Star by now.

[CelticsGM]

by my count that's 2 "were", another 2 "would" and one "couldn't"
safe to say what he ISN'T ...

[KingsGM-old]

You're pretty annoyin and missing the point completely.

[CelticsGM]

well, you want to make Iggy something he isn't and never will be.

you can't teach warrior's mentality, you have to have that. and most of the time it's the less talented players who need this quality to survive in the first place and get to the top later on. Iggy may have too much talent to ever be in need of that fighter in him.

btw, ever wondered what AI would be without that killer in him? A good PG and shooter, but nobody that would get mentioned among the league best. I can't think of a comparison of a talented PG where you always had the feeling he could be better if he cared, so you tell me ...

[KingsGM-old]

where have you been at the "selfishness classes" AI holds every other game ?

This is what i was refering to. My point was AI's "selfishness classes" definitely wouldn't hurt Iggy (while one could conclude diferently just from reading your post)


 Try to read next time.

Iggy may have too much talent

Great body and physical predisposition does not equal talent.

Lol!...Iggy has "too much talent"...dear Lord.

[KingsGM-old]

Well, well..just hold on a bit Iggy, will you? If you're going to continue like that you might go for 20pts for the night, and you don't want to do that, right?

[CelticsGM]

I don't know why, but i have a good feelin about this season. ...

5-11, last place in the weakest division in sports (any sports).
What's the problem in Philly? Can't be the lack of talent or experience, right ?
 

[KingsGM-old]

There's no defense at all. Just terrible.

I've watched yesterday Nets game and that has to be the most awfull transition D i've ever seen. I've never, ever seen anything like it not even in an below average streetball pick-up game. There was like 15 completely uncontested shots and when you have Nenad Krstic first on the break while almost your entire starting five is still at the Nets halfcourt there's really no way you'd have a chance to win a game. I was in total disbelif, for a larger part of the game i was thinking i'm watching some lighter practice or NBA Live PC game. Just absurd.

[CelticsGM]

and where's the problem?
players? coach? management? injuries?

can only imagine if that happened on the bulls, they might run wind sprints for the rest of the year ...

[KingsGM-old]

All of that combined probably. I mean, Mo is not a great defensive mind but if you need a coach to tell you that you just simply can not allow easy basket or not getting back on defense then you're disgrace yourself. They're only showing passion on the offensive end but are completely clueless and without a energy on the defensive end. I don't know, maybe they think they can outscore anyone, i have no idea what to think anymore.

It's really a shame. It makes me wanna cry. I can see the talent, i can see the potential, they're excited to watch (to me at least) but the effort, the hustle just isn't there. I'm depressed.
