but this was a lost opportunity.

Coach wasn’t at his best, but our bench play was just terrible and it cost us the game. Lou WIll was just not there.

our just guys didn’t grab the moment. let’s see what happens at home.

You’r tied in a series where everyone guessed you’d be dominated.

In my opinion, though it’s painted slightly Celtic green:

You guys are 1-1 ahead.

Why did Andre Iguodala score only 1 point in the first half?
He hasn’t figured out yet when exactly to turn on the “switch.” Sometimes his playing confuses me. At the end of games he can sometimes make off-balance, nearly impossible three point shots, but in the first two quarters he can’t drive down the lane and get to the line?

Why did Bill Green play 20+ minutes? Because Dileo is an interim coach.

Why did DiLeo play Donny-Ice when we needed stops and sit him when we needed threes? See answer above.

Why is Courtney Lee averaging 21 points this series? I suppose a good team is one that has some random guy who can come through and score twice is scoring average when needed on any given night. Because the other big 3 weren’t pulling enough weight, he stepped up and just started ballin. The sixers have some players like that (lou, Thad), but every night when the team needs it most just to get a win? The sixers don’t quite have that yet.

Who in their right mind would allow Reggie Evans to guard Dwight Howard? Elton Brand is out for the season. Sammy doesn’t konw how to guard without getting fouls called on him every 30 seconds. Speights’ defense just isn’t quite there yet.

Why couldn’t we get a defensive rebound? Sammy doesn’t know how to guard without getting fouls called on him every 30 seconds. Theo has been doing a hell of a job, but he’s 36 and I’m sure his legs get heavy at the end of games.

Why don’t we get to the free throw line anymore? I’m not really sure. Iguodala getting one point in the first half didn’t help. Especially when he averages over 6 free throw shots a game.

Why is Bill Green playing at all?
A better question: why, when he is playing, is he getting plays called for him???

I don’t get the whole Courtney Lee thing either.

As far as Reggie Dileo really had no choice since both Dalembert and Ratliff were in foul trouble. Dalembert needs to stay out of foul trouble for more then the first 6 minutes.

Yeah he has, hopefully he doesn’t do as good in Philly.

Bottom line is he is an interim coach. I don’t expect him to make the best decisions and these are the results we get when he doesn’t. Donyell had no reason to be in the game as much as he was last night. I would go as far to say that he hurt the team more than he helped. I feel as though he is that fourth quarter spark, that is all. Billy Green needs to stop playing. I think we all feel that way. Andre Iguodala needs to stop being inconsistent. I swear people criticize me for being so hard on the guy but these are the types of games when I feel I am 100% right about the guy. He has the tools to succeed but lacks the mentality. 1 pt in the half? WTF? He ended the night with statistically okay numbers but stats aren’t everything.

Andre Miller was shooting well in he first half and then that lingering selfishness took over and he started making mistake after mistake. As time has gone on, my attitude on Miller has slowly changed, partially because when I do see the sixers play, miller is doing stupid things. It worries me that we regressed to that aggressive style of play that kills us (leaving wide open threes). Though it didn’t kill us last night because they were shooting poorly, eventually such a style will knock us out of the playoffs since they can definitely shoot better behind the arc.

Bottom Line: That game was frustrating. DiLeo’s coaching is the main reason we struggle, next to poor execution. It isn’t that we don’t have the players, talent, or experience. It was the way the players were put into play and the game plan against the Magic that led to that loss. STOP PLAYING BILLY!
