    I think Sixers should sign a new coach, cuz Ayers isn't gettin the job done. We need a coach that has been proven, Sixers are falling out of the race, we gotta make a move.

    It doesnt matter, Sixers arent talented enough for scott to make a big run. But it would help the sixers organization with scott he is a good coach. They need to get scott and trade snow and coleman for other people maybe terry(which was a rumor)

    If it were me, I would trade Snow but I think the Sixers Organization is in love with Snow. Don't ask why but it seems as if they are.

    I wish the Sixers would get rid of Snow. I don't respect an athlete who lets himself get out of shape. The extra pounds he carries around can't be a good thing. I think we just need a pg who's a little more explosive, more creative, more athletic. He's a good decision maker(for the most part) but a little too passive on offense at times. I think it's just time for a personnel change, and if it were up to me, him and DC would be the first to go.

    If Scott couldn't co-exist with Kidd, I doubt he could with people like AI, KT, Grob who have all had problems with Ayers. I say let the season ride out and try to get Mo Cheeks after the season.

    Scott is very bad tempered, it'd take too much time and effort for him to get along with AI. This'd never work. Stick with who you've got, work on Dalembert, doesn't look like this year is going very well anyway. If you guys don't do so well, you can be very lucky in the next draft maybe. As for coaching wise, try Riley.

    You're damn right the sixers are out of the race falling behind Heat and the Knicks. The sixers better make a move quickly.

    May be the fact that around the league he's known as a "good guy" because of all the stuff he does with fathers and their children and and stuff.

    But then again, this shouldn't be a reason for them to not trade him.

    I think they shouldn't because changing coachs in the middle of the season is a bad move. You would say The knicks changed coachs and they're better now but i think its just that the players just didn't want to look bad.If they were losing the fans would have thought it was the players fault and not the coach.At first the knicks were on a streak but now they're starting to cool off.In conclusion, I think its the player that makes the most difference not the coachs.

    I think we need a change in the lineup more than a change in coaching. We need to move AI back to the 1, bring in a 2 guard w/size and a jumper who can take it to the rack(Eddie Jones), get rid of fat, out of shape Derrick Coleman and get a bonafide center who's a shot blocker. AI needs to stop worrying about doing it all himself, how many games/seasons is it gonna take for him to realize that he can't? He's been getting pretty banged up the last few years, we need to preserve him and moving him to the 1 would help do that cause he won't be roaming so much, he'll be setting up the offense. They should bring in a new coach though but after the season, a coach who runs a motion offense, more pass-oriented, get everybody involved. Hey, I should be he coach[​IMG]

    I say let them slip, hope for a lottery pick, then get a good rookie that can do what they need most, whether that is a center, a SG with size, or a PG that is more explosive

    I don't see a reason for letting their season slip just like that, one big move can change anything and everything.

    If they did do this, maybe they could get a good pick. I mean, they got Sammy D in the middle of the first round and look how well he's progressing. Who knows.

    Then again, I have tickets to some games left on my package and I'm really not looking forward to seeing them lose everyone.

    B.Scott coaching style doesnt mix with the type of players you have on the sixers. B.scott uses a motion offense which he learn form his days as a sac-town assistant coach. You need alot of ball movement. But the sixers have one on one players like AI & big Dog it wouldnt work. And B.Scott offense puts alot of pressure on the point guard to run plays & hit people at the correct time on back door plays & screens. And things like that. I am not really fore sure if you want to make Eric Snow your focal playmaker. Thats not really his game.

    Thats very true...but Ayers is doing a horrible job. I think we need a coaching change because with the squad that we have, we should be doing A LOT better.

    my only problem with a coaching change here would be the growing trend in the eastern conference to constantly swap coaches around. if the sixers pick up scott, they'd better make it a long term decision they're willing to stick with. the fact is, the most successful teams are the ones with stable coaching jobs.

    I would go for a change in the rotation if I was the sixers before a coachi9ng change. Matbe give Kyle Kover a few more minutes to stretch opposing teams defenses & give AI room to operate. And you also have to give the sixers time its to early to start wanting to dump people Allen Iverson & Glenn Robinson have both missed time so far this 1st half of the season. Its hard to win with your two best players missing time. I would chill until DC comes back from injury to see exactly what this team has to work with before making any big changes.
