Sixers at Bulls open thread 12/02/08

Photo6-1_tiny by jsams on

Philadelphia @ Chicago


Tonight is round 2 vs. Derrick Rose and the Bulls. Stefanski seems pissed and tonight's game could be detrimental for coach Cheeks' future. That's just speculation though.

I haven't seen anything in the Sixers to think they're going to win tonight, but I'm still hopeful.

TV: Comcast SportsNet

Record: 7-10

Prediction: 101-92 Bulls

thnx man

Look, our star RB is nowhere near 100%, our backup RB is out, and our 3rd string RB goes down when defenders blow in his general direction.

by Remis on Dec 2, 2008 4:16 PM PST to parent up   0 recs

Yeah – that’s just historical – that’s not today – it’s too early for them to be up – usually up on yahooo about 30 minutes before the game

by jemagee on Dec 2, 2008 4:08 PM PST   0 recs

i just pulled them off espn. Those were the projected lineups.

Well since the other suggestion was willie green – had no desire to see green start

by jemagee on Dec 2, 2008 5:15 PM PST to parent up   0 recs

if the day comes again where we have to start green Cheeks should be shot.

by Ben16 on Dec 2, 2008 5:26 PM PST to parent up   0 recs

Why – Cheeks did not build this roster

by jemagee on Dec 2, 2008 5:32 PM PST to parent up   0 recs

Almost forgot about the game.

I’m too busy looking at Playboy suites at the Palms to stay at.

A strong first quarter gives me no confidence any more – getting home i see the sixsers have made 6 turnovers in the 2nd quarter…

by jemagee on Dec 2, 2008 6:24 PM PST   0 recs

Yeah

That’s why I didn’t get too excited.

The problem with Lou Williams is simple –
I have a theory on this connected to the sixers idiotic need to ‘force’ him to be a point guard – he has to relearn the game of basketball in a way never asked of him before last year and now he has the pressure of the big contract – the sixers have pretty much broken lou in my opinion – i hope by the time they realize what he is and isn’t he’ll be fixable

This team is not fun to watch.

I wish D’Antoni was our coach.

I don’t wish D’antoni was the sixers coach – they don’t have the right assets – and that system won’t win an nba chamiponship – ever – even with lebron

+1

So far, so good. The typical blown double digit lead seems in order, lets hope that can be it for Mo.

Looks like a good move for the White Sox to me. Atlanta seems to have given up some decent prospects.

I think the people who package him don’t market him as well as they market Lebron, and I understand it’s a part of his job – but the whole t-mobile campaign is just bad – and always has been to me

I agree on the T-mobile thing.

But aside from that, some free throws – and an one where he made the free throw? And some good defensive plays?

BTW – with 2:52 left

Speights 18:01
Dalembert 11:54
Theo Ratliff 9:04
Evans – ZERO

Really?

If speights finishes the game out i think he’ll have more minutes than Sam and Ratliff COMBINED – it might just be match ups – or maybe Mo is getting his head out of his ass a bit?

by jemagee on Dec 2, 2008 7:55 PM PST to parent up   0 recs

Cheeks fighting for his job-yes.
