Worthy of Your Attention
We have Game 6 of the Pistons/Sixers series in Philly tonight, a series that had no business whatsoever lasting this long. Alas, it is the Detroit Pistons we’re dealing with here, a team that only seems to care when their backs are up against the wall.
Fortunately for them, they have enough talent and veteran experience to switch it on and off whenever they want. This will probably end up costing their coach his job, but I have my doubts as to whether another coach could get Rasheed to give a crap for 82+ games.
As for the Sixers, with the exception of a brave few, most of us are now thinking of them in the past tense.
In theory, their season could last two more games, but realistically it is over.
They could conceivably win tonight, sure, but will it mean anything in the end? Probably not. But they’ve had a great year; Dalembert has an interesting haircut; Mo Cheeks has proven himself as a coach; and Philly hoop fans have a reason to care again.

That’s about all there is to say, Marcel. Feels like the Sixers lose a close one tonight…of course, they’re playing the Pistons so it could be 100-60. Either way.

Might as well replace Flip if it doesn’t cost the Pistons anything because believe me it is not Flip that is controlling Sheed. Joe deals with sheed personally and if we can find a decent replacement, basketball wise, it would be worth it. Carlise we already had, D’Antoni is fun but won’t win championships and our players are offensively challenged so it would not work out, Skiles and Avery are micro managers that should probably coach college ball where the players will take their crap,and Van Gundy is a decent upgrade over Flip but lets be honest the man is a pessimist and would suffer heart attacks at the hand of the pistons flipping the switch on and off. Basketball is not worth a man’s life.

Roger rabbit don’t hold your breath. The only time Iverson will return to Phily is when he’s getting his jersey retired!
