Philly catching FIRE - 7 wins in a row AND DalemBEAST with 5 blocks tonight - they on fire! They burnin' up - they on fire!

WOWOW - seriously, these guys are doing a heat check - who is playing them next? They might be competing for the 8th spot!

The Sixers can't even suck right. The were on pace for Oden or Durant (assuming he enters)... that would have been a MUCH more significant victory than getting the eighth seed.

Kinda like how the Knicks could never suck right when they needed to suck bad the most.

Philly is coming on strong, but IDK if they have enough in the tank to take over a playoff spot. For the time being, I think they will just be playing spoiler, although I shouldn't talk yet. They're only 4 games back of us.

Isn't that why we fired Anucha?

They'll probably be the ones who knock us all out. They see no one else wants it.

I have no idea what Philly is trying to do. These guys were a lock for no worse than the 4th or 5th pick, with a good chance at 1 or 2. Every other bottom feeder has the good sense to tank games and these guys are making a run for the playoffs. You have to admire the professionalism, but they better hope they don't make the playoffs.

They're catching fire b/c they play their style well.


They're a fastbreak team that has a pass-1st PG, athletic players that can create turnovers, and Kyle Korver.

Get a few more shooters, and they're gonna be dangerous next season, especially with a top 5 pick next season that could plug in a PF into their rotation (Horford or Wright)


We on the other hand, are so inconsistent b/c we dont have a style. Every game is really a tossup.
DLee is the best thing to happen to NY in Isiah's 4 year tenure. And that alone, though a positive on the radar, is sad as hell.

What we need to do is get a new GM next season (I have no problem keeping Isiah on the sidelines).

He's good for the confidence on a young team for now...



We need to address what we want to be, and seeing as how any GM will probly have a stipulation that he can't trade away Curry and assume that we're gonnna be a half court team.


The rest of the team should basically be low-turnover players that can defend and shoot.

Either that, or hope Curry gets mobile enough in the future to allow us to change our style to something like Pheonix, alot of the players we have already would fit in on uptempo play neway.
