Stating the obvious here, but this is reallllllly ugly man. I don't know what I want to happen with Bynum. Is it even worth it for him to come back? If he does and dominates for 10 games or so, that's cool I guess. It will give us something to be excited for if the Sixers can get him signed. But at what cost? How many teams will be willing to risk it on him if he shows that he can still play? I'd guess a lot. 

 

And that brings me to Doug Collins, who I am officially fed up with. I love the guy because he seems like a genuinely good guy. His press conferences are more enjoyable than any Philadelphia coach I have seen in my life time. I want to see him do well but  what I feared when he was first hired looks like it is true. There is a ceiling to the potential of Collins teams. He seems to have no grasp of the situation here. Giving Spencer Hawes major minutes (and giving Kwame Brown any minutes at all) while Arnett Moultrie sits on the bench for the ENTIRE game is absolutely inexcusable. Sorry Doug, time to go. Can't coach great teams, can't coach rebuilding teams. He is the perfect guy if we want to stay painfully average for another 5 years, though.

Agree with everything.

A day late, but this Ric Bucher tweet yesterday was pretty intriguing...

 

 

If the Philadelphia 76ers let Doug Collins go after his don't-look​-at-me-loo​k-at-the-p​ rant (but I'm not throwing anybody under the bus), sources say that assistant coach Michael Curry will take over. Curry, who was last a head coach with the Detroit Pistons, also is expected to be a candidate for the job, long-term.

The fact that Bucher has this information in the first place suggests that letting Doug go is, at least, under consideration. I still doubt it happens during the season, though.

Didn't he do not so great with the Pistons? He seems like one of those guys that's more effective as an assistant.

Yeah, I dunno. 

 

I was more just surprised that there has actually been dialogue about firing Doug for that press conference, lol.
