76ers over the Cavs? Are you mortally insane? I can't even express how easy it would be to stop the 76ers.. Igudola is a horrible shooter, put LeBron on him and he'll do nothing. Only player that really concerns me on the 76ers is Andre Miller.. They need to make a major move to be able to beat anyone in the playoffs.

Yeah I'm trying to be as unbiased as I can be (since I hate the Cavaliers), but I just think the 76ers can play with more heart in the playoffs than the Cavs.

No iguodala is developing a nice jumpshot. Be concerned we are gonna shock some people this year. All we need really is a low post scorer. Louis willaims is developin nice and so is thaddeus young. Dont get so fooled you only have lebron.

I agree. Thaddeus Young is definitely a player to watch for.

 

[The Young One]

I agree. Thaddeus Young is definitely a player to watch for.

I really think he's gonna be our franchise player and iggy is goign to be his sidekick.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

You're dead wrong on that one, I'm sorry...

From what I saw in the playoffs he's far from having a good one, and his driving ability is not great enough to make up for it.. Young and Williams need more then one off-season to be actually more respectable in this league, the 76ers will be good in future years, but I doubt they are anything special this up coming year. All we have is LeBron? LeBron alone is better then the entire 76ers team.

 

[The Young One]

Wrong with what? and no lebron could be beat the sixers one on five. Yea he's the best player in the league imo. But he cant beat our whole team by himself

i love Iggy, but he's so franchise player

EDIT: lol sorry. i havent seen enough of T Young to comment

I think you need to watch the Cavaliers actually play a game. But you obviously do not, considering you think Ilgauskas is a nobody, Gibson is a nobody, West is a nobody and other players on the team. I have no idea what happened to Wally, if he can find his shot he'll easily average 15 ppg as a starter on the team. Also we easily have a top 5 defensive team in the league. But the NBA is all about scoring I guess?

Yea i can respect that i know him and thaddeus are gonna be a beastly combo years from now.

i hope so
i really really really like Young
and Iggy has grown on me
6ers better re-sign Lou Will too. he looks legit

 

[bulls12]

The 76ers do need a consistent big man, since Dalembert nor Smith may be able to get the job done.

Big Z is solid and gibson is cool and west is solid also. And yea wally will give 15 a game but he's also givin up 20 a game also.

He wasn't giving up 20 a game to Ray Allen in the Eastern Conference Semis.... Also its called a rotation, Wally wont be in there every minute of the game, and also with big men in the middle like Ben Wallace and Z to help in case of drives he'll be fine.

Yea they need to sign those 2 asap.Mark my words Thad will be considered a steal years from now. People will be wondering why he wasnt a top 5 pick.

Ben wallace is a shell of his former self so i'm not worried by that. all i'm gonns say is we will see this season

He's a shell of any offensive game he ever had. His defense is still very good and can hang around with basically any player. And we will see this season. A full TC with the new Cavaliers team, after taking the best team in the league to 7 games and almost winning? Man, its gonna be a great season.
