eh, I think akins saw Iggy spot for 3 and decided to just fall down celebrating the soon to be missed shot.

A few notes:

* All five Sixers' starters scored in double figures vs. Detroit, marking just the second time that has occurred this season (10/30 home opener vs. Milwaukee).

* The Sixers bench scored 12 points and is averaging 12.0 ppg over the past three games after averaging 28.0 ppg the six games prior. Reserves have been outscored 55-14 in last two.

* Samuel Dalembert had a season-high 17 points with a team-high 11 rebounds, marking his third double-double of the season. Dalembert has grabbed 10+ boards in four of the past six games after doing so twice the first 16 games of the season.

The 5-17 Sixers own the third-worst record in the league, trailing only the 2-20 Nets and 3-19 Timberwolves.

Derrick Favors, here we come.

He'd be an interesting match with Speights. Though I also like Aldrich too

They will not pass on Wall even if they drafted a PG last season. He looks too good right now.

What's not to like?

AI gives us something entertaining to watch this season. While we increase our chances to get John Wall. I'd rather have the team going into this direction than experiencing another first round exit.

haha nice one Foshan

Wins and losses aside, Jordan's become a detriment. He claims he's positive, yet he throws players under the bus. I wouldn't trust a coach like that, and I wouldn't be surprised if the players don't either.

The sixers really do need stability at the coaching position... someone who win/lose or draw gets to work with the guys for several years, like the Hawks coach did... however, I'll be really bummed if they start that now

Wall is going #1 regardless of who has the pick.

When will Jordan take responsibility for anything.

When they start winning.

Sorry, if they start winning.

LOL.

I know we signed EJ long term, but we have to put an end to this already.

Sixers have stopped going to the basket.

To wit:

Opponents have made more free throws than the Sixers have attempted in each of the past two games and in eight of the last 13 games after that happened just 10 times in all of 2008-09.

During the 11-game skid, opponents have 205 FTM to 212 FTA for the Sixers. Over the final 41 games in 2008-09, the Sixers had 903 FTM to 870 FTA for the opposition.

It could just be me, but isn't that one of the main signs of a disinterested team or a team with a lack of passion? It takes much less energy to jack up a 20 footer than to drive to the basket.

Add that to the rebounding woes and the spotty (to be kind) perimeter defense for a squad that has a ton of athletes...and yeah...I'm thinking it points to a lack of passion "in the room".

That is a consequence of going from coaches who stress getting to the hole at all costs versus a coach whose offense is designed to create mid-range shots.
