Jordan is the 3rd Sixer coach who can't seem to get these go come out in the 3rd period. When is that going to end. At home, against the #1 team in the NBA maybe and sleep walk through the 3rd period.

Dreadful.

The problem is, these guys don't cover the their man. I've watched them give a shooter damn near 6ft of space to work with. This is a good shooting team just like when they played the Magic. They don't stay on a shooter at all. It gets even worst after the bench gets in.

Synder & Comcast don't want a basketball winner. They don't invest the love they put into the Flyers. So they need to go first. You get a owner that wants to win and loves Philly basketball let alone Philly sports period. We may see a bball winner again. But the chances of something like that happening is extremely slim to none.

Now as for the team its self. I agree, they need to beat it in guys heads that they need to stay on their man period. Unless the defensive play causes for rotations. Tonight is a very sh!tty game. But it starts with poor shooting & then the D' falls apart completely.

Our bench is were most of our issues are. We see way to much PT for Willie Green. Everytime I see him on the floor we look like ####. We need better players coming off the bench to give this team a lift in games like this.

Yeah this is typical Sheed against us. He always destroy us each year. But it's always due to poor D' and the lack of focus.

Yeah its either due to how they space the floor while on D'. Because both this game and the Magic game. I watched guys give the opposing shooters plenty of space. Then they never recover allowing guys to jack up uncontested 3's. To me right now, that's bad coaching. Because I need to see Jordan getting on their ####es for that. But so far he hasn't or visibly hasn't.

They came out really strong in the 3rd against the Bucks.

We've only been through 4 games... it's a bit early to be making these kind of statements.

He's also the 7th consecutive coach who can't get 'em to guard the 3-point shot. Is it some kind of team rule?

Lou said before the game that "we know" the Celtics are gonna pound it inside. Huh? They shoot from 16 - 24 feet all night long. Garnett doesn't even go inside unless it's the playoffs. Sheed hasn't visited the paint in 2 years. When did Kendrick Perkins become their go-to guy?

Lou - guard the shooter. He's way out there.

Defense= effort. They have none of it. I think Sammy the brains of the defensive scheme in Philly.

Eddie Jordan was fired in Washington because of his BS disregard for defense.
Wouldn't matter what garbage assistant he hires for defense..doesn't matter what lip service he plays to the press...he's gonna play who he wants and focus on offense...for the 100th time, his defensive strategy is to protect the paint at any cost...so Boston shoots 14/20 3's and we double Perkins....so Orlando shoots 70% on 3s. Ayers and Lynam are just sitting there keeping him company. Go ask a Wizard's fan...they were worst in most defensive categories for years.

Why the F does Old James Lynam always have a job here?! Answer me that, my friend! He has never done a damn thing in PHILA.
