Deep Sixer

Mark, has there been any talk of starting Young at SF and moving Iguodala to SG? Iguodala has been shooting well from behind the arc recently (relatively speaking) and consistently shows the ability to overpower other SGs down in the post. At the same time, even Mo admitted that Young's natural position is at SF. Of course when we play small, Young makes sense at PF and he might even grow into that position, but... well I don't know. Cheeks has done an outstanding job really, its hard to question his decisions. On a side note, Dalembert continues to bug me with his dropped passes and zero low-post presence. I would not mind seeing him moved this summer.

I don't mind the decrease playing time right now. I rather Thad get more minutes now going into the playoffs anyway. I have no doubt Evan's minutes will get back to that 20-25 minute range in the playoffs. But you gotta play the player who is performing the best, when you combine that with the added bonus of more court time for a developing rookie I don't see the issue. With that said, I am sure Mo can find 15 minute per for Reggie even when Thad is on top of his game

http://www.reclinergm.com/76ers-must-go-hard-in-the-final-two-games/

Cheeks should make time for Evans by limiting Willie's minutes: simply slide Iguodala to SG and Thad to SF.

Chris, makes sense to me. I'm guessing up until the recent games the 1/2 court offensive numbers were on the rise with reggie getting limited minutes and they were winning; However, that may change after this past weekend.

With Thad hitting the jumper well in the last 2 games, it is about time to make "the move". Start Thad at the 3 and Iggy at the 2 and platoon Reggie,Jason and etc. at the 4. With Detroit on the playoff horizon it makes sense defensively also.

By the way, Willie should get minutes when Afflalo is on the floor because he is not a threat to score much. It all makes too much sense not to do, the idea is to win, right Mo!!

Chris,

I agree. Why Willie logs any more than 10 minutes is beyond me. He was good in that short spurt role when he first came into the league and his game has not evolved beyond that - even now - he looks to score a lot early in the game. I like Willie, but he is better served for 2 - 3 minutes to close out a few quarters. He is just not capable of much more.

Evans is much better defensively than Thad right now - he should be getting some minutes - but I would rather see Thad start at the 3 as I have said all year. He is not big enough to guard the bigger PFs in this league so Evans should start at the 4, but Jason Smith should be the 6th man in this case.

I would also like to see them use the last 2 games to work on their half-court game. Design some plays and let them work on execution. This is what they are going to be up against in the playoffs. I don't just want to see Sam setting a bunch of half &$& screens and then roll to the hoop. I would likt to see some pick and roll - pick and pop - pick and fade with Smith and Miller. I would like to see Igoudala and Thad on the block against smallet G's when teams switch. I would like to see Sam try a few post moves. I would like to see some isolations for Iggy and Lou. Just a few things to work on over the next few games - I know it won't happen, but it would be nice to see.

I'm starting to agree here that Andre should be starting at the 2, Thad at the 3, and Reggie at the 4. Quite frankly, when Willie isn't scoring, he doesn't possess a whole lot of value to the team. If the decision here is to let either Willie's or Reggie's minutes disappear due to Thad's excellent play, then I vote for Reggie to get his time. And, be it Green or Carney...whoever's playing better at the time should get those minutes off the bench, assuming the matchups are right.

Unfortunately, it is unconventional and smacks a bit of desperation to change the starting line-up heading into the playoffs. But, I agree, against Detroit we match up defensively much better with AIG at SG and Thad at SF.

WG is too small to cover either Rip or Prince, and Evans would do a better job on McDyess. I just doubt we make the change until we are down a few games.

How in the world Iggy is going defend against Prince, Prince is 6'10, he has to play shooting guard in this series.

Just be careful what you wish for. Although I agree Willie is a bench player, when you put Reggie and Sam on the floor at the same time, you have two bigs with bad hands. Plus you lose someone who can get their own shot.

If scoring is an issue put Smith at the 4. Det. is similar to us as far as postups, Wallace and Mcdyess are more of finesse post players than ones that back you down. If they try to force postups down our throats it may take them out of their offense.

I'm not worried about matching up with Detroit. I still think we'll play Orlando. That being said, I would start Reggie at PF and let Thad operate against that Magic bench. If Howard gets hammered early in games he tends to sulk all game long. Reggie can get under his skin and make him a little less effective.

jumpin', hugh,

I like to throw stuff on the wall, see what sticks, what doesn't. As I was reading your posts on Saturday, the following kept coming to mind: basketball scholars? Anyway, even though it's kind of weird to read basketball being discussed that way, they were good reads. But don't get all imperious now...

Suede,

I agree that Smith needs to play a little more. Evans will see minutes and be effective against the Pistons. But let's not kid ourselves. If Rasheed is dialed in in that series, our team might be lucky to get a game.

I would like to see how the lineup would do with extended minutes of having Smith at the 4, Thad at 3 and Iggy at 2 with Daly and Miller.

Also, what's your latest no. 1 pick for the 76ers and how would Jaminson look next year in our uniform? He's been a consistent 20 and 10 guy this year and has been a critical leader for the Wizards. He doesn't seem to be slowing down to me, although I still want somebody younger at our 4 spot.

Do you still say no Zach Randolph or Ron Artest for this team?

JBP,

I also don't like that neither Reggie or Sam has great hands, but they do one thing - gobble ups lots of rebounds. If we're not gonna shoot better than the other team, let's get more possessions than them to make up for it.

I just looked at the past 8~9 games - except for the Pacer game, where the Sixers just didn't have it, every time we've lost we've been outrebounded. Atlanta's just so big, they should always outrebound us, to beat them we need to shoot lights out.

But this bad stretch doesn't really worry me, I really liked seeing more playing time for Thad, Jason, and Carney. Mo did an excellent job here, taking this time to give those guys exposure to longer stretches of playing time. I've learned a lot about what they can or can't do. I'm with Mo in that rookies, despite how good they are, need to bide their time, need to accept that all they'll get are scraps their rookie year, and need to respect the veterans (even Willie Green). I'm positive that Carney will get more plays run for him next year (he needs to work on that handle), and that in their 3rd years, if they're still around, Thad and Jason will be given a higher % of the shots, and that'll be awesome to watch. But for now, in the playoffs, I bet we see a lot more of Reggie and the vets, and a lot less of Thad, Jason, and Carney.

And for me, this is the biggest reason why Mo should have been given a longer extension. I'm so absolutely sure that in 3 years, Thad and Jason will be much better players if Mo's around. Look at what he's done with LouWill (his 3rd year) and Big Shot Rod. Another coach may do the same thing, but with Mo, I'm sure.

datruth,

You live in DC, right? Are the Wiz planning to resign both Gil and Jamison? How? I just looked at hoopshype, if both Arenas and Jamison got maxed out after this year, let's say at around $30M combined, that puts Washington's salary cap at over $75M for next year (salary cap will be around $69M), and that's not including what they're gonna do for Andray Blatche. Are they willing to pay up down there?

sixers need to rest. No pilates mo! Take them to a massage therapist and reward them for going 22-10. They have to be totally fried, with the exception of the vets like Miller. They need to play hard, but let those 10th, 11th, and 12th guys on the bench get about 10 minutes tonight.

Can you please list the upcoming unrestricted free agents at power foward and center.

Thanks,

Ron

Gotta, agree with with everyone above that it really makes too much sense, especially against the Pistons to slide Dre over to the SG spot and Thad against to SF against Prince, who is too tall for Dre. Evans and Smith will share primary PF minutes, with Thad working in there for smaller lineups . I prefer Evans off the bench as a jolt of energy, but people may disagree. Carney and Lou are the primary guard reserves, and Willie gets used for special matchups, and/ or to provide "instant offense" off the bench. That is also our best defensive groupings.

Glad everyone likes the idea of a lineup shift. The best part is that lineup is already battle-tested against detroit (remember, willie was hurt when we had the real big win against them). My suggestion that we might be able to take them was predicated on following that formula.

Also think its essential that we use at least a 9-man, hopefully 10 man rotation. Suede, I think you've made that point a few times this year that we need to use the bench that much with our style, and i think thats especially true against an aging pistons squad. As you and Morty mention, JSmith tends to match up pretty well on paper in certain situations against detroit. His improved jump shooting lately is also an asset that needs to be maximized. also, here's hoping lou returns to form consistently and Carney bounces back from his poor shooting last game. We'll need everyone to be on their game.

The kids got us here, so it seems foolish to returned to a shortened "veteran" rotation now. Lets just say that rotation didn't work out so well for us early this year.

KM:

I think I've mentioned that in the past, and could not agree more. To go away, in the playoffs, from the rotation we've used in the regular season would be a big mistake. My sense is we will not see that happen. Although, unfortunately that also means we will not see the one lineup change we do want. Not until next year, for whatever reasons.

Evans shouldn't be playing more than 15 minutes on average. The thing he is best at (offensive rebounding) is something that Young is good at as well (although not as good as Evans).

The sad part is he has to play a little more than that sometimes because after Sam he's probably our best (ok, least horrible) center because Smith can't cover big bodies yet. Hopefully we can get someone to do that for next year.

Sixerzguy, I agree with your statement that Mo did a good job trying to see what he could get from the kids here down the stretch.

On another note, those of you who want to see Jason Smith get extended minutes against Rasheed or McDyess, think about what you're saying. Jason Smith is an untested, inconsistent rookie PF that came out of the Mountain West. He's shown some flashes this year that he has a chance to be a decent player in this league, but to throw him out there in the playoffs against a two-time Eastern Conference champion with the most battle-tested front court in the league is crazy, especially when you have a junkyard dog like Reggie Evans on your team.

I think the strategy against the Pistons should be the same as when we beat them in Detroit in early March. The lineup that game (by necessity because Green was hurt) was Miller and Iggy in the backcourt, Thad, Reggie, and Sam up front. Carney, Lou, and Smith played around 20-25 minutes each. I can see lopping off about 5-10 minutes each from Carney and Smith because you still want to get Willie in the game...while he's played poorly lately, if he gets hot he can fill it up in a hurry. You're still going to want to take advantage of that gun on the bench, especially if LouWill continues to shoot like he has in the last 5 games.

If the Sixers go this route with the lineup and time management, I'm posting it right here that we'll beat the Pistons in 6.

Dean, welcome back, buddy! And I like your optimism.

I'm glad to see that your time away has resulted in getting on board the Dre at SG and Thad at SF train.

Evans is indeed a junkyard dog, but he is also inconsistent, thus the reason he is only a 20 minute bench player. If we are going to win this series, we will need Smith to play, and play well. If, for both Evans and Smith, the good moments outweigh the bad, we will have a much better shot at matching up with the Pistons, because our small ball lineups will certainly be less effective against them.

Marc,
Reggie is a true pro who brings toughness and hustle, and rebounds the ball better than most. His presence in the locker room is what the Sixers need, to show the toughness that is required to the young guys on a nightly basis in the NBA. If the Sixers face the Pistons in the first round, his minutes will increase. Every team needs a guy like Reggie Evans.
Jason-Los Angeles

You can't base a playoff series (especially this Sixer team with very little playoff experience and this Piston team with so much playoff experience) on one game during the regular season.

As I have said from day 1 - Green should not be starting - Iggy should be at the 2 - I remember some people disagreeing with me when I first brought this up. Regardless of the lineup though, it is hard to imagine Detroit losing a 7 game series to this team right now.

It would take an almost perfect series from just about everybody. Thad will have to give you about 15ppg and play great D on Prince - Sam will have to stop Wallace and not have any mental lapses - Evans will have to stop McDyess/Maxiell - Green will have to give us something and defend Billups or Hamilton - Miller will have to contain Billups and make him work on D - Jason Smith has to step up his game on both ends - Mo has to make sure we don't switch on every screen as to give Prince one on one matchups with Green or Carney - Iggy must score consistently and contain Hamilton. Lou has to continue to get to the hoop and score/draw fouls and we have to hit free throws. As a team, we have to knock down open jump shots.

If most or all of this doesn't happen, it won't be a long series.

Dean, I absolutely agree that Evans needs to see his time against detroit. I dont even care if he doesnt score a basket (though i'd hope he does), the team needs as much of his toughness & energy as they can get. Also think your suggestion that they're saving him lately due to his shoulder is probably on point.

By saying we need to maximize the assest we have in smith, Im not calling for extended minutes. I was saying he needs more than the 10 or so mpg hes been getting lately. You seem to call for 15-20 min in your post, which is about right, depending on matchups and production. Basically, reggie gets 20 or 25 if he's scoring & hitting free throws; jason gets 20ish, and thaddeus slides over as johnny-on-the-spot when mo inevitably decides to go small.

Continuing from above: Moving Dre and Thad allows Mo to mix and match Smith and Evans at the PF spot according to need and quality of play. I can envision moments where both are in the game (Smith at C) when Sammy needs a rest.

how about putting smith on prince,

The Pistons are going to try and draw fouls on Sam early and often. He has to be cognizant of that. Sam, as much of an airhead as he is at times, is the key to the defense, especially in a series like this where the scores promise to be on the lower end of the spectrum.

I will say one thing though...if Evans and Smith are in the game at the same time, you have to put Reggie on Rasheed even though he's 2 inches taller than McDyess. Rasheed will absolutely slaughter Smith because he can go inside or outside, and Jason is not experienced enough or strong enough to stay with him. On the other hand, Rasheed will tend to stay outside more with Reggie on him because he doesn't like getting hit, and we all know how Evans likes to mix it up. McDyess only plays 16 feet and in, which will allow Smith to focus on less things (no rip on him, but he's a rookie with zero playoff experience).

hugh:

Agree total about limiting switching against Detroit when Green is in the game. Both Hamilton and Prince (and Billups) are mismatches for him size-wise.

What kills me is that we finally have the right players to matchup with Prince and Hamilton, but we likely won't use them. I will give a ridiculous amount of praise to Mo is he actually changes his starting 5 the way most posters want.

Im not sure what's more amazing - that we're talking about playoff matuchups at all, or that there seems to be general agreement about how they should play out.

Dean, I think your 1:49 assesment of the big men is accurate.

Hugh & Morty, also agreed that willie's lack of size(let alone anything else) makes it tough to play him much against detroit. Lou has also been less than effective this year matched up against chauncey/rip. But, if we have the dre's theoretically playing 1&2, hopefully its not as big a deal because they're eating up most of the guard minutes. Which would leave most of the 3 minutes to thaddeus and Carney?

KM:

For what it's worth, I remember Lou playing some of the best D I've ever seen him play against Billups in the 4th quarter of their big win at Detroit.

Morty, I do seem to recall that. Lou can be a nasty defender when he sets his mind to it. Hopefully he brings that mindset to the playoffs with him, because that would be a valuable contribution. My comment about him came from checking his stat line from that game, which only showed 3pts, 1 free throw, 1 board & one assist in 22min.

Sixerzguy,

Yeah, I do live in the D.C. area. Wizards GM Ernie Grunfeld has said that Arenas isn't going anywhere, but he has yet to say anything about Antwan Jamison. I think Jamison will want at least $10M a year if he's going to stay with the Wizards. I can't see him getting much more than that.

One thing about Grunfeld is that he is no dummy. He's not going to get hamstrung by a bad deal. Remember, this is the person who traded Kwame Brown for Caron Butler, signed Butler to a reasonable contract, let Larry Hughes walk and sign a good role player for Washington in Deshawn Stevenson in his place.

A shooter that the 76ers might want to take a hard look at free agency is PG-SG Roger Mason for the Wizards. The 76ers could get him for cheap and he can light it up in a hurry from 3. He's never had a multi-year, guaranteed pay day in the NBA, so I doubt if he'd be loyal to the Wizards.

He could play backup point guard behind A. Miller or Lou Williams (if A. Miller is traded at the trade deadline next year) and is big enough at 6'5'' to move over to shooting guard also. I also like Kelena Azibuke from the Warriors and C.J. Miles from the Jazz as shooters.

Unfortunately, I think Detroit is the worst matchup for the Sixers. Prince is a matchup nightmare and takes away from using Young at the 4 because as many have stated Iggy doesn't matchup well with him. Miller has his hands full with a player just as strong and savy as him in Billups and Detroit plays that dreadful slowdown halfcourt game that will do in the Sixers probably in 5 games at best unless we mature real quickly. A good learning lesson but we'd have a much better chance against Orlando.

Also, the guy that would fit in perfectly with the Sixers is Josh Smith from Atlanta. Unfortunately, I think they'll match any offer but if not he's a 4 with an outside "j", can post up and plays solid D. He's another athletic freak who would fit in perfectly with the Sixers. Almost too good to be true. I guess we'll see.

billy,

I was all about Josh Smith before the season and during the early part of the season, but in watching him play a couple of times this year, I had trouble determining whether he is really into the game at all times. He seems to disappear at times and then some times he seems unstoppable. He would theoretically be a great fit - unbelievably athletic and can post up and block shots. I don't want to sign a guy to a monster deal and then have to worry about him falling asleep during parts of the game if hisnumber isn't called. That is something that always drove me nuts about Sam. He has gotten much better though - especially in the 2nd half of this season. Just don't know how much I like him yet - I think I need to see a little more of him. There is something there (hard to explain) that just makes me hesitate a little bit about him, and I was on board for him very hard in the beginning of the year. Maybe I can watch him a little more in the playoffs and he will convince me a little more.

It probably won't matter, because I am sure he will get quite a few offers and will likely get a matching offer from Atlanta.

Datrue4life, having trouble scoring in 1st half again, yes I would take Randolph if Willie and our cap room gets him. Walsh may bite to open up the position for Lee. Artest is going to want alot per year and fly!s off the handle too much to me. Randolph may need to be pushed once in qa while but Artest may end up suspended or in jail, you never know.As far as the draft I think they are going to pull an Andy Reid and take the player rated the highest on their board regardless of position. I think we need to get longer and with Sammy!s improved on the man defense lately I would love to take Hibbard, flat out the best 1/2 court, low post player in the draft. Him and Sam can start against about 10 teams inthe league and against the quicker team!s you move Sam back to the 5 to start. Worst case he can be Ilgauskas and best case he may be Smits. Like C.Paul I think his game will thrive in the N.B.A.. R.Lopez[ if a combo forward,Jamison] is our target. Clark or Alexander [ if E.Brand] is our target. They can play alongside Thad or behind him at the 3.I think B.Rush could be Iggy like at the 2 but tough to take a 2 with Carney and Green here. As far as a point, rather have Weaver than Collision and Augustine; we have L.Will. already, we don!t need a small point. When all is said and done I think Iggy, Thad,Rodney and L.Will. will be above avg. shooters with a low post threat here so if they can!t add a sniper this year let that be next years addition. No more draft talk, Datrue4life, time 4 some playoff wins.

the refs chose to let the cavs win. the refs are stinkin' bastards.

WTF? I need to see some video. Anyone see the foul, was it legit?

Lebron drove the lane (fouled twice with no call) and Dalembert blocked his shot. The rebound landed in Devin Brown's hands who took it back up for the shot. At the same time, Dalembert lands and takes a forearm to the back from big Z. The shot sends him careening across the lane into brown. Refs call a foul with .02 seconds left.

THATS WHY THEY SWALLOW THE WHISTLE. There is way too much going on in the last second of an NBA game to make some bull call with .02 seconds left. Bob Salmi is saying its the right call; well he's wrong. You can't make that call with .02 seconds left. Let the players decide the game.

dbeas - exactly, exactly, couldn't be any more freakin' right. you just know the damn NBA wants to see LeBozo in the E Conf Finals, they gonna make sure he gets there, I hope DeShawn Stevenson loses it and punches him in the face

goodness, I don't know if a game has ever pissed me off as much as that one, to hell with David Stern and his freakin' puppets, we get no respect because we have no Sixers are in those "where amazing happens" in commercials, except for the one where Dwight Howard is committing a loose ball foul over Andre Miller

I don't give a crap if no one on this team can be marketed to China and their genocide-committing/turning a blind eye to it asses, they need to be respected, there was so much ticky-tack poo being called tonight, LeBitch isn't anywhere near MJ, you and your damn God complex need to wait a couple of years

just horrible, damn...

the sixers are going into the 1st round with an I-dont-give-a-sh*t- anymore attitude and they will play their asses off.

sixers need some kind of marquee player so that we can get these kinds of calls at the end of the game.

the "nba is fixed" deal will always go on deaf ears.

btw, Bob Salmi is a spineless piece of crap. I hate suits.

Wonder what the line on the game was?

Stiff,

lol, thanks, I needed that...

When a player gets blocked into a kicker they don!t call roughing the kicker do they ? The ref was right in front of Ilgauskas when he pushed Sam, swallow the whistle!! Time out, agree totally; wish this was the last game before playoffs, they have that chip on their shoulder!!

Sixersguy

I've said it once and i'll say it again..The NBA has been fixed for a long time and we are probably going to get more of the same heading into the playoffs.

The media seems so protective of David Stern. I wonder how Marc is going to spin it...

no problem, been waiting all year to use that line.

Probably reluctant to say anything...

Anyone else want to point out the LeBron travelling? He took 4 steps and then 3 more.

Zeru,

I can't even think straight right now, I know it's just a game, but damn, some junk like that in the last second of the game? When the hell has that ever happened? I'm not as convinced as you are that the NBA is fixed, but damn, again I ask, what the heck was that at the end? Why the hell was LeBoob getting all those touch fouls, they don't let LouWill get away with those.

Funny line about wondering what Marc's gonna say, can't wait to read his take myself.

BTW, I take back what I said about China and the genocide, I don't think it was appropriate for this blog.

later

When I say fixed I'm just agreeing that the NBA has its favorites for whatever reason. Yeah that horrible man but I dont even get as mad anymore. Just like in the past we would see Iverson getting hit and low cut on follow throughs and thrown into the stands without a whistle and Shaq getting free passes to offensive foul as he pleases. Its not a conspiracy theory I invented..You actually said it before I did in more detail. Dont regig just because I agree with you. It is what it is. Let me ask you a question and answer honestly..Had the Sixers been in the Cavs shoes in Cleveland..Does that call get overturned? Does it even get reviewed? If you can answer that honestly i have nothing else to say..

Great call...ignore the 3 1/2 steps that LeBron took or the fact that Ilgauskus elbowed Dalembert in the back which knocked him into Devin Brown. The whole night LeBron got away with walk after walk after walk, and no calls at all. Eddie Malloy (ironically from Tim Donaghy's alma mater O'Hara) is the only half-decent ref on that crew; the other two are brutal, especially the fat midget who is at least 55 years old. The NBA owners need to get together, punt Stern from the league, and concentrate on making THE OFFICIATING BETTER. It's unbelievable how some of these guys still have a job.

Second point here...I'm so sick of hearing Bob Salmi on post game live. Yes, technically he was right that the play should have been reviewed; but he repeatedly failed to mention that the foul was caused by Ilgauskus AND that LeBron walked big time when driving the lane. I yearn for the days of Steve Mix. Bob Salmi has sucked all year...it's fine to be non-partial, but remember who pays you buddy...especially when you omit key details when making your argument against the home team!! Go broadcast D3 college ball somewhere because that's where you belong pal.

Dean

I still want to know what happened to Steve Mix...Yeah he is a fruit cake Salami with cheese whatever his name is. He's too soft to talking to Philadelphians..Like Who IS this guy?

Boy its sure taking Marc a long time...lol@Sixersguy

I was center court to witness that BULL$#!%. Here is the replay:
http://www.reclinergm.com/i-cant-believe-what-i-witnessed-tonight/

For sure, its times like this when we all realize that reputation seems to get you by in a huge way in the NBA. But stuff like that is upsetting to say the least...the Sixers play too hard to have such a questionable (by questionable I mean completely biased) call potentially ruin their momentum.

But in a way, I guess we can see how the guys respond to such blatant adversity, especially when they go toe-to-toe with the Pistons, which was what some of you here wanted. Excited to see how that plays out...the new-age Sixers versus one of the Eastern Conference elite.

And bump the biased officials and the suits that give us no respect. But we're gonna take it. Just you wait. By we, I mean the collective fanbase of the Sixers and the actual team.

Chris out.

Dean

lol@ Great call...Yeah Z Igg was stuffing Sam underneath the basket evevy time the Sixers even thought about a lob. Everything just looked really bad for us and this game which has importance to the Cavs is how i'm determining whither or not we will get a fair shake in the playoffs no matter who we face. Doesnt look good..

Dannie:

I can't believe the announcer said that "Justice has been served" when they got the Sixers back to the court...wtf!!!!!!!!

Sorry, this is really pissing me off. But thanks for the clip.

The NBA is FRAUDDDDDDDDTASTIC!!!!
