The Sixers season will OWN

[QUOTE=HaNdLe ThE RoCk]chuckoakley, now that I think about it philly might finish fourth after Brooklyn but that's a toss up for me. Celts and NYK are def one and two in the division.

Poor Toronto :lol[/QUOTE]

How are NYK over Sixers???? Your team struggled to get over them last season. What improvements were made because you lost golden boy Jeremy Lin. What? His impact was overrated huh? Kidd/Felton replaces Lin now huh? :roll: Shumpert healthy? Doh. Like come on you NYK clowns kill me. Joke of a franchise. Cant wait.


Only team I give respect too is Boston. Miami goes without question. BKN? NYK? Indy? FOH, and thats short for f*ck outta here.

Other than Center were are they above average?

PG?
Holiday seems very medicore.
I take:
Paul
D.Will
Rondo
Nash
Parker
RW
Irving
Lawson
Lowry
Rose
Wall
Rubio
Curry
Dragic
Conley

over him. That is 15.

What about SG with J.Rich?
Kobe
Wade
JJ
Ellis
Harden
Gordon
George
Afflalo
Iggy
Roy (healthy)
Manu
Thompson
Martin

are all better. He seems to be in a vague group of:
Evans
Dudley
W.Matthews
Hayward
Stuckey
Shumpert

At SF is Turner:
LBJ
Durant
Melo
Granger
Batum
Gallinari
Wallace
Pierce
AK
H.Barnes
Beasley
Marion
Gay
Deng
are better

At PF is Hawes I guess....
Love
LMA
Dirk
Bosh
Amare
Bargnani
Ilyasova
West
Boozer
Monroe
J.Smith
Nene
Faired
Milsap
Ibaka
Lee
Scola
Griffin
Gasol
AD
Randolph

All better.

So record and seed prediction?
Depending on what you type, yeah I'm down for a wager.

Watch us surprise people and actually rank higher than expected.

:pimp:

This forum for has been missing some Philly fan arrogant smack talk for a minute. Where u at junkifunki????

They have a very solid team.


Turner is likely to play SG, and Richardson has to play off the bench. Wright seems the clear choice to start at the 3.



Hawes has got to be traded. He's a very solid player and centers are worth it. Plus, there is no way in hell that he's a PF.



Run the team thru Turner and Holiday. Let them set up Bynum. The team should be very good. Do not play thru Bynum. It's too early for that.

I will say this, I like their long-term potential. I just don't think it happens this season.

DeMar Derozan is going to be better than J-Rich too this year.

qft. Not sure why so many ppl are buying the Nets. One of the worst teams in the NBA adds an 18ppg SG and get their 17/7 C back while having a worse bench. Yep, playoff bound. :rolleyes: I like the Raptors ahead of the Nets.

re: Sixers, has everyone forgot that NBA teams have coaches? Doug Collins can get a lot out of that roster.

:lol

Only players to play 40+ games last year for NJ:
D.Williams / Gaines
Morrow / Brooks
Stevenson
Humphries
Shelden W. / Petro

Wallace - 16 games
Lopez - 5 games and never with Wallace.

This year's roster:

D.Williams / CJ Watson / T.Taylor
J.Johnson / M.Brooks / Bogans / Stackhouse
G.Wallace / Childress / Shengelia
Humphries / Teletovic
Lopez / Blatche / Evans
+
All future 1sts
two overseas prospects
Humphries large two year deal for salary matching purposes
Deep pocketed owner

I will wager whatever you want cash wise or avatar wise BK finishes ahead of Toronto.

Yet Sixers went to the playoffs last season and took Boston to the end 2nd rd. So much for these top 15 lists. :rolleyes:

With a top 8 SG/SF who was the undoubted leader of the team. I think people are underestimating how much veteran leadership will matter over the course of the season.

So again.. prediction on wins?
I'm down for some sort of over/under wager.

Just out of curiosity.. anyone ever taken you up on a wager on here?

Any team with Bynum as its leader.... is not going anywhere. It's great that you have enthusiasm in your team though, good passion, good effort!

You do realize the Knicks finished last season top 8 in team defenses, right?

I hope they do well, really like the team.

[QUOTE=GOBB]Deepest team in the NBA? Arguably best big man in the NBA? Man I feel sorry for you kids, adults, old folks. This Sixers team is going to punch teams right in their noses.

Sixers are locked and loaded so I'm warning this board my ass you will kiss. Pucker up girls. :pimp:[/QUOTE]

I don't know about your rambling but I have never been so excited about Atlantic division games like I've been for this season!

:lol This thread is funny.
I like Sixers but I have a feeling they're going to be very, very inconsistent during the course of the season. GOBB better hopes they make it to June :lol

Sixers 54 wins


I'm in a FF league that is in its 3rd year. All 3yrs were worth money. And ask Kblaze if I'm good for bets.

Iggy top 8 you say and Bynum is top what in regards to centers and big men in general? Yeah that's what ithought. Sixers will miss Brands Veteran presence. You're giving Iggy too much credit in that department to make your argument. Jason Richardson isn't a veteran? Solid. Bynum will grow into that role just as Iggy did, am I right?

Sixers not winning the title. But Conference Finals is definitely possible with this team. No question.

Your frontline is Turner/Hawes/Bynum. Bynum already has the "don't worry, his knees are fine" rumblings every time he gets a procedure. I'll stick with my Knicks, thanks.

You thought Lin sucked so nice try there. I'll keep my center, you can keep Bynum. Chandler vs. Bynum's backup as he undergoes knee procedure 271 is a matchup i'm pretty confident in. (But don't worry, that knee procedure doesn't indicate a problem so it's ok.)

Consensus probably doesn't look very good for you.

I like the sixers this year. They should make a huge leap compared to last year. but without Bynum... they still dont have a go to scorer.

why shave [I]and[/I] wax?

:facepalm

i love how people watch the sixers play their team once and think they're experts on the sixers. **** saying boston is deeper did they not see our bench dominate their bench the other night? and our starters dominate their starters? "but we didn't have garnett" yeah we didn't have bynum who is known for man handling the celtics.

So we are putting words in other people's mouths because we can't counter what was said? Is that how this works? Solid. You can't find me saying Jeremy Lin sucks. That's a fact.

You'll take chandler over Bynum? :roll:

You keep harping on Bynums knees. Who said they were of no concern? The only time his knees were shrugged off is when he went to Germany. That wasn't a big deal but you tried to make it one. Eh, anyway I said health went unchecked in my post. That doesn't imply Bynum knees are fine dont worry.

Nice try there. You're batting what Arod is in the postseason

[QUOTE=ChuckOakley]He'd take Lopez over Howard as well?

I don't know about that, but Lopez does own Bynum.

There's no way Turner is going to play SF. Collins is not stupid.

For the Sixers to be real good Bynum has to be healthy and his head on straight. It's definitely possible. But it's not certain. You talk like it's certain. If he's not the Sixers will be so-so and that doesn't seem possible to you.
