Sometimes, it's best that you do nothing. That seems to be one lesson from the 76ers' strong start. Rod Thorn did little over the off-season other than draft Nikola Vucevic and dump Marreese Speights, giving his team both stability and solid chemistry when games finally began. The result is the fourth best record in the NBA at the quarter pole.
The Sixers have remarkable offense balance with eight players averaging between nine and 15 points a game, led by Louis Williams, Andre Iguodala and Thaddeus Young (all Billy King draft picks). Jrue Holiday rounds out the top four. The Sixers, 8-1 at home, will be without their two top big men, Spencer Hawes and Vucevic, putting ex-Net Tony Battie in the starting lineup once again. One problem for the Sixers: despite their record, new ownership and an aggressive marketing campaign, they are 27th in the league in home attendance. The Nets are 24th.
For the Nets, MarShon Brooks (tendinitis) will be a game time decision. DeShawn Stevenson (knee) was hurting in the Nets loss to the Bulls, but both Jordan Farmar and Anthony Morrow have been shooting the lights out from deep lately and should see a lot of action in the City of Brotherly Love.

There really good defensively

If Stevenson is hurt that bad
Might as well give Owens his minutes.

Makes sense for them to go small tonight. You better send a note to Coach Johnson, Master Tactician™

I disagree
Against Chicago the Nets could make shots but every time they had some momentum they couldn’t buy a defensive stop. Tonight the offense needs to run through dwill and brooks and the other three need focus on denying easy shots inside the perimeter.

C SheWilliams – For Defense (Should start over Ocur)
PF Hump
SF MarBrooks
SG JFarmar (for defense and scoring matchup against AI)

I like Farmar at the 2
but i am concerned about wearing the guards out and them having to give big minutes to Gaines

Hate to say it, but even if swag plays
We’ll still lose, they are just too strong at the moment for us…
This will be an exciting game too watch
I can see us getting a win if Deron plays lights out and Owens can play some decnt defense against Iggy.
I live Near Philly
So I get to see allot of Sixers games.. These guys are really good. They make the open jumpers and they run real quick up and down the court. They have no post presence tonight unless you wanna give Elton Brand props. Coach Collins has really got these guys in positions to succeed. I gotta feeling we might get blown out tonight if Marshon doesn’t play.

They're a typical Thorn team
A team full of versatile, athletic players that are all big for their position, especially on the wings. They’ll likely run us of the court.

BUT WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?!?!?!
Broussard’s sources also said that Williams has several seasons of “Frasier” on his Amazon.com Wish List, but that didn’t make it into the final story. Don’t ask me how I found that out โ you don’t want to know.

Broussard is one of those STARKER type reporters.
I am not familiar with Amazon wish lists being public, but is it possible to find Deron’s Amazon Wish List if it is public.
If so I can See broussard, looking over DWill’s Amazon Wish List.
Broussard: Hmmmm. "Deron has a Zagat New York City Restaurant Guide in his list..
THERE we go!! Knicks are on DERON’s TRADE LIST. "
Broussard: Deron has a book on The Best Things to Do in NYC.

SMH, 27th in attendance? Wake up, Philadelphia!!
Just like the Nets in 01 and 02, big city fans are showing they only care about superstars that dunk the basketball and take wild 1 on 1 shots and don’t really care about watching a well played game. If they did, they would have gotten behind those Nets teams or they would start showing up in Philly. Disgusting.

yupppppp
I went to Jason Kidd’s first Nets game. I went on a stretch actually where I went to about 8 or 9 consecutive home openers. I believe we played the Hawks and came back from about 12 down in the 4th ALL on Kidd’s shoulders. I went to so many more games in his time. The place never really filled up and only had that ‘intense’ feel once… the triple OT thriller against the 1 seed Heat in game 3 of the first round. That was the most intense ‘crowd noise’ game I ever went to. I’d kill for an experience like that even a quarter of the time. I recently went to the Nets-Thunder game. Poor basketball, disinterested fans (can’t blame them at all)… it’s sad. Tough to get a good NBA crowd going unless it’s in the Garden, Boston, or LA it seems…
Meanwhile the small town crowds are so grateful when their teams start winning, OKC, SA, Minnesota

Good point....
maybe people in NJ really never did care. Hopefully things change in Brooklyn… of course it’ll be much harder for me to get there for a game.
In the metro area, attendance is all about STAR power. Winning is secondary.
That’s why the Nets are all in. It’s the only way get and keep their heads above water financially.

Yup. The other thing to consider is that those 3 teams, minus Minnesota and including Utah, aren’t competing with other sports
by mytoemytoe on Jan 25, 2012 8:34 AM EST via mobile up reply actions
Market Saturation is always overlooked
People only look at market size, but there’s many other things that factor into the equation.
You point to OKC, SA & Minnesota as grateful, small town crowds. The NBA is a big deal in those cities, OKC & SA especially. The Thunder & Spurs are their only professional teams. That’s not the case in many bigger markets. In the NY/NJ/Philly areas, people have at least one professional sports team in every major sport, and basketball is clearly behind football & baseball and on par with hockey. Aside from Net games, tickets aren’t exactly cheap. If you’re a fan of more than one sport, you pick and choose a few games per sport per year.
Hypothetically, if the Phillies & Flyers didn’t exist, I’m sure the Sixers would draw much better than they do.
the NBA isn't as big a deal in Minnesota as you think it is
they’re doing better this year so I’m sure it’s improved, but I was there in the summer, went to a foot locker, and there was not a single T’Wolves item. Plenty of Twins, Vikings and even Wild but no Wolves. the guy working there said it’s because no one cares when they’re that bad. so yea, they’re about as fair weather as any other major sports city.

Let's not forget
Kidd’s first games in preseason and regular season came just weeks after 9-11 and not a lot of people were going to big events in the New York area around that time.
I was at his first preseason game and there were 500 people there MAYBE. It was three weeks after 9-11 and everyone was scared.

Thorn can help us out one more time!!!
BLo and a pick to Philly.
A.I. to ORL. Brand and Nets draft picks to Milwaukee.
. Bogut to Orlando.
Nets get Dwight, Turk, and Duhon. Although I’d rather Nets take back Richardson’s contract.
Why would Milwaukee do this? They get Picks. Brand is only on the books through next season and can still help that young team be viable til they draft a better big man with one of the picks.
Orlando gets two young players — one wing and one post presence.
oh and Philly does this cuz...
…BLo is a nice young scoring Center which they can use and Thorn prolly loves him.
Very creative, I don’t know that Philly would do this since Hawes is playing at such a high level. Very close to being a tremendous trade proposal, at least in my mind.

Ummm, any of this sound familiar?
Brand opted out of the final year of his contract and became a free agent. However, he said that he hoped to resign with the Clippers. He gave up the $16.4 million on the last year of his contract with the Clippers to test the free agent waters. According to ESPN, sources have reported that Brand chose to opt out from his contract in order to provide Clippers with more payroll flexibility in hopes of strengthening their roster. This came to fruition when Clippers landed Golden State Warriors star Baron Davis. Briefly, this gave Clippers’ management and the media the reassurance that Brand would indeed resign with the team. On July 9, 2008, Brand signed a five-year deal with the Philadelphia 76ers, a team in which Brand had previously stated to have an interest.
Not exactly the same as the D12 situation since ORL is in cap hell with or without Dwight…but it shows me that when Billy wants a guy who wants to go to his team, he makes it happen.
Reminded me more of the worst case scenario with DWill to be honest :/

How so?
and lemme say, I realized that I’m not sure if King was still GM of Philly when Brand was acquired.

king was gone and that was a foolish contract
as Brand only played about 16 games that year recovering from a ruptured achilles tendon.

If you look at all the teams with the best records with some exceptions, you will see that any team that did NO changes or very miner ones are the ones the hold those spots.
Yeah they are good, but that is because they know how to play with each other because of hardly any changes and they are fairly healthy.

It would be nice to beat a good team
We’ve beaten most of the teams we’re supposed to beat. That’s our 5 wins so far, with that against the Cavs the only one that got away which could’ve made it 6. All our losses have been against teams with superior talent . It would be nice to pull off an upset of the Sixers as a first win against a good team. Here’s to hoping.
I say we win tonight!
This premonition came to me in a dream. Not in the same type of dream I had when I got in a terrible car accident and claimed lucid visions of Terrence Williams running the offense a la Magic Johnson were in my head just after the crash.

He is a back up center.
He wasnt suppose to get many minutes because Lopez was suppose to take up all that PT.
If it is his contract just be happy you dont Haywood because he is making close to three times what Petro is getting paid.
I dont get why we always have a
“why do you guys hate ______ so much”
No one hates him, no one is sending him death threats or seriously wishing him harm. Fans just simply hate to watch him play and hate to see him hurt the team. We have players we favor and players we wish aren’t on the team

Sixers success is pretty odd...
I don’t see them as top tier in the east, I guess their success is mainly due to the fact that they kept their core of last year and made little change, they will certainly fall to 6th 7th place by season’s end, along with Pacers.
Winnable game, provided Deron and Hump have a double-double and Brooks gets his 15+…
Go Nets!

how odd?

It's the same team that got swept by the Heat...
and the same team who was strongly considering trading Iguodala just a year ago, and they also have “busts” in Evans and Brand.
I just find it odd that in all of a sudden they are one of the top teams in the east, on paper they are as good as us in my opinion.

Evan Turner's a bust?

Depth and youth is what teams need in a short compressed season like this
That’s why I really like the Sixers.
But, it shouldnt be surprising.
They have weapons left and right. No stars but solid players.
Holiday
Meeks
Turner
Thad Young
Hawes
Brand
Lou Williams
Iguodala
Not to mention they have a good coach and great motivator—-Doug Collins.
I expect them to continue doing well…
"Beware the Ides of March."
they are solid...
but their rotation doesn’t scream for contender. They are a puzzle just like Memphis.
Guess internal development is not a “myth” afterall, hasn’t worked with the Nets on J-Kidd’s, Vince’s prime though.
for the right of watching tv broadcasted nets games...
exactly
just like the nuggets as well, they have two full squads of starter role players and will do well in the season but in the playoffs i’m not sure how far they will go without a star or superstar. once you scout and key in on these players, you need the stars that “you cannot stop but can only contain” type of people to win championships.

YO...u guys see the Knicks pennant right behind DWill!
LOL. Must mean he’s going to NYC. lol. Kidding.
Funny thing man..Kryie has been quoted..saying he was a Nets fan growing up. Makes sense…he would’ve grown up during the Kidd years and he’s a jersey guy. Wonder if he may end up a Brooklyn Net one day. Doubt it.

"dwill looks like he doesn't want to be there"
I’m waiting for someone to say that about the commercial.
Hopefully Dwill doesn't get schooled by Jrue Holiday.
One of the more underrated players in the league, in my opinion.
I wonder if any of these guys can shoot?

76ers are a VERY good team
Im worried about them because unlike many teams in the nba that have 1 or 2 main scorers this sixers team really spreads the ball around well.
Looks like Love is signing 3yr + Player Option
Marc Stein @ESPNSteinLine Close
When Wolves wouldn’t do five-year deal, Love’s camp said they’d only do four-year deal WITH opt out after Year 3 to make him 2015 free agent
Marc Stein @ESPNSteinLine Close
Adding to report from our @Chris_Broussard; Sources say deal will be signed after shootaround now that Kevin Love gets opt out after Year 3

I'm tired of reading that the 76ers are a good team.
They’ve had a weak schedule beating bottom-dwellers in a wacky upside-down shortened season. They will be VERY lucky to be at .500 by the end of the season.
I’m not saying the Nets will win this game, but the 76ers are an average to below average team that look better right than they really are. Maybe I’ll change my mind when I watch the game.
It’s seriously laughable that anyone is even saying that they aren’t a contender. That is quite obvious. They’re a major pretender early in this shortened lockout season. I expect them to come back to earth when their schedule gets tougher.
They were a playoff team last year and Spencer Hawes has improved his game and the young guys are getting better.
It’s “seriously laughable” that you wrote this comment at all because usually you make pretty level-headed posts
I think it's pretty level-headed.
He’s made some good points, you can either agree or disagree.
I for one agree with his opinions.
for the right of watching tv broadcasted nets games...
Kevin Love
To #twolves fans: I’ll be in Minnesota for 4 more years! Excited to see you when I get back to Minneapolis.

MarShon participated in shootarounds today
He’s prob going to suit up

Danilo Gallinari has agreed to a four-year, $42 million extension with the Denver Nuggets.
More MarShon Please
Brook might be upset that he didn't get a deal
He would get almost max contract in summer if he is still with us and we’ll be forced to match it. This could get very complicated in FA if we are to wait for DH12 as well.
