    Already?

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">MIAMI - The relationship between 76ers coach Jim O'Brien and Chris Webber is still a relatively new one, and O'Brien is trying to show his star forward that he is willing to communicate with him when a problem arises.

    Such a problem arose Saturday night, when Webber sat out nearly 12 minutes of the second half in the Sixers' game in Atlanta and appeared unhappy in the locker room while most of his teammates were celebrating a one-point win.</div> link

    here's a bit more
    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">MIAMI -- Chris Webber and Philadelphia 76ers coach Jim O'Brien met Monday to clear the air about Webber's lack of playing time two days earlier against Atlanta.

    Webber, recently acquired from Sacramento, played 28 minutes in Philadelphia's 98-97 win over Atlanta. He came out with 3:38 left in the third quarter, returned with 3:43 left in the fourth and scored four late points to help the 76ers pull out the win.</div> link

    He just got booed off the court in the game against the Warriors tonight. He was arguing with Iverson at halfcourt and again on the sidelines.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">There was Chris Webber sitting on the bench, boos serenading Philadelphia's impact player and the Sixers trailing by double digits to woeful Golden State.

    This was not what Webber and the Sixers expected not even two weeks ago when his acquisition was supposed to take them from the fringe of the playoffs to Eastern Conference contenders.</div><div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">For the third straight game, Webber was basically a non-factor for the Sixers. The five-time All-Star acquired in a stunning trade deadline deal again sat out long stretches of minutes, including the last 4:38 of the third quarter, and was booed when he was in the game.</div> http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/recap?gameId=250308020

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">"I want to make the best of the rest of the time I have here," he said. "I'm still a great player. I'm not going to ever get used to playing 27 minutes a game. It's something we'll address after the season. Right now our goal is to make the playoffs.

    "I thought I was to coming into a situation where I would be utilized as the player that I was.</div>
    well there is definately nothing different about he sees himself in phillly. if he pulls of a talk similar to the one he gave about his team at the end of the last season it's hard to see him fitting in wit ai.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Webber was booed a few times during the game -- only about a week and a half since he was introduced to thunderous applause during his home debut -- once after an errant bounce pass went out of bounds and again when he came back into the game about 2 minutes into the fourth quarter.</div> link

    I feel pretty bad to see all of this happening to Webber after all he did for the Kings, but it seems that the Kings are playing much better as of late. Maybe our newfound D can help us come playoff time...
