YES! Get rid of Willie Green. Why the hell is he getting as many minutes as he is? Give Rod Carney and Korver more time and put Green on the bench.

Smith looked good again in 14 minutes, was 1/2 from the floor for 2 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 blocks. He should turn into a player (I’m hoping).

How about that win over the Bulls, I didn’t see that one coming.

Eric, whenever you feel a need for some optimism log on to Sixers4guidos ! This is your “glass 1/3 full” type of site (I would have said “half full” if only Sixers had a shot to reach .500, LOL).
I also hope Carney will start. I like this guy (don’t know why, though…)
As for the predictions, wait for my next post, but maybe you are right, I underestimated Orlando and Wash, while I’m pretty sure Tor will have another vewry good year, carried by our boy guido Bargnani

Tkd7334, you have a point. I say: if we want to trade Miller, let’s wait for the trade deadline, then there will be 2-3 playoffs teams asking for him to make a serious upgrade at the PG position and his value will rise big time. Cleveland, Lakers, Orlando, even Boston, just the first names of frachise in need of a good playmaker that come to my mind. We will get way more in return than what we could do now

Alex: you mean that your Bucks will steal us the 15th position? LOL just kidding with you my friend

Ohio: I think you are correct, Green is a better overall player than Carney right now and you know I am NOT a WG fan…. the point is I think Carney has more room for improvement, while I think we have already seen the best (?) of WG, he’s a decent combo guard like many in the NBA that can occasionally explode but that most of the times it will hurt you with his low FG % and dumb decisions… Jamaal Crawford anyone?
While I see in Carney a potential Raja Bell, a Bruce Bowen, a Matt Barnes… see a link? all SG/SF, all good defenders, all former Sixers that blossomed in other (very good) teams

I share your sentiment about Willie Green, Ricky… if only we could have traded him in the offseason. Frankly, it just plain sucks that management couldn’t find a way to make it happen. However, since he’s still here, I have to be objective about things and suggest that he should be the starter ahead of Rodney Carney. To me, and perhaps only to me, Carney isn’t an improvement over Willie and he has less NBA experience to boot. Fact is, neither guy has anything close to a consistent jump shot. However, Green has a propensity to get hot now and then, while Carney’s almost completely erratic. Throw in the fact that Green’s a (slightly) better defender than Carney and it’s hard to think he should be riding the bench while Rodney’s out there getting lost on every other play. All in all, of course, it’s just my humble opinion.

Philly won’t finish with the worst overall record.

And I like Louis Williams…

I am not so sure about A. Miller. My opinion before this years draft was that he should be traded in order to obtain a PG better suited for the Sixers style of play. In honesty, i’ve never been a fan of Miller, and If it was up to me, Louis Williams would already be running this team. If they are going young, and developing players for the future, then do it all the way.

I FOUND A SIXERS OPTIMIST! The last of a dying breed. I agree pretty much everything. the sixers probably improved but it won’t show with the improved conference. I think we will be better than the experts think because of these things:

1. Rodney Carney and Lou Will’s improvements. Hopefully Rodney starts opening night.

2. Andre Iguodala’s full season as the #1 option. I expect him to be an all-star too.

3. Chemistry. We went 30-29 with Andre Miller and AI and people are expecting a major dropoff. Why? shouldn’t we do nothing but improve(even if it may not show on the record)since we made basically no changes?

Just to give my predictions: I think the Raptors and New York are out and and Orlando and Washington are in. The Raptors snuck up on people last year and Washington has too many stars. Orlando’s acquisitions were canceled out with the departures of Grant Hill and Darko and the knicks are the knicks.
