Around SBN: The Pros and Cons of an 18-game NFL Schedule

Speights Done for 2 months

So, that whole debate regardinh who should start at center is just kind of over, and the development of one of the most important players to the sixers future success has taken a pretty big hit, thanks to the twit from the Sixers I just received.

 

Star-divide

Forward Marreese Speights to miss 6-8 weeks; MRI reveals a partial tear of the Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) in left knee.

Speights collided knees with someone last night, I missed who, but up until then he was have a pretty craptacular game against the BUlls, unable to do anything against either Noah or Miller or even stop them.

Overall though, this just kind of sucks, though maybe it means Brand gets some 4th quarter minutes at least so we can see what he can do?

Lottery

I guess all we can look foward to now is a showcase of Elton Brand and Slammin’ Sammy and hope we are bad enough to get a lottery pick.

...

Our only consistent big (in terms of scoring). How many games we got in that time frame? We win maybe 25% of them at best, unless the rotation is figured out, EB is used properly and we play some D!

I am now looking for to the lottery. I have thought for years that I wouldn’t mind 1 yr where we get a top 5 pick instead of mid-teens. We then get (or have a better chance at getting) a really good player that we need. Also all championship teams have top 8 pics (I know EB is but not in prime or healthy), we need one of those players who can take over a game, hit the inside shot or the outside shot or wherever it is to win the game. Andre can do at times but just not that top end player that need to push over the top.

The sixers weren’t a ‘top 5’ worst team in the league before this injury and they aren’t now – they’ll still finish low lottery or low seed in the playoffs…

Agreed

that they aren’t that bad. I was trying to say and write, as a bit distracted as I am watching the birds game , that being that bad would help for a yr. I think they are not that bad but if could manage to SUCK that bad for 1 yr then get that player and will be an improve team.

Or need to trade up one of these years (I know not done almost at all in NBA).
