Comments on: Eddie Jordan-Worse Than Doug Moe? http://isportacus.com/2009/12/23/eddie-jordan-worse-than-doug-moe/ Philadelphia Sports - More Than Just Booing Thu, 09 Sep 2010 13:50:32 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Johnny Goodtimes http://isportacus.com/2009/12/23/eddie-jordan-worse-than-doug-moe/comment-page-1/#comment-2454 Johnny Goodtimes Wed, 23 Dec 2009 22:42:26 +0000 http://isportacus.com/?p=4431#comment-2454 This team is bad. I'll give you that. But it's maybe 13-15 bad, not 7-21 bad. There is some talent on this team. Brand is really not as bad as you make him out to be. Speights, Iguodala, and Thaddeus Young are all pretty good players. Lou WIlliams and Holiday aren't bad. They usually play teams close into the fourth quarter, and then Eddie Jordan's idiot substitutions and bad tactical moves doom them. Again, this team is pretty similar to the one that Tony Dileo led to a 32-27 record. I don't discount Andre Miller's absence from that equation, but he simply isn't THAT good that he is the sole difference between a 32-27 team and a 7-21 team. Eddie Jordan is an absolute nightmare. The good news is that he's going to doom them into a lottery pick. This team is bad. I’ll give you that. But it’s maybe 13-15 bad, not 7-21 bad. There is some talent on this team.

Basketball talent? They lack a true point guard, a true shooting guard and a true center. They play bad defense, and cannot play man to man defense if both AI (if he ever returns) and Brand are in the game. Funny reading Roy Hinson II (Brand) complain about other people's defense when he is a statue most of the time. I told you the Knicks would be better and since I was called a moron for that comment, the Knicks are 5 games ahead of the awfulness called the Sixers. The coaching is the least of the problem, although it is fair to ask why, if you are going to fire Mo Cheeks, that you bring in another Mo Cheeks' style coach with no ties to the Sixers or Philadelphia (sorry, Rutgers doesn't cut it here). The team is the real problem though. Talent? Basketball talent? They lack a true point guard, a true shooting guard and a true center.
