<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> IF CHRIS WEBBER ever wondered what life might be like on an island by himself, he has unearthed a world of discovery in a 76ers uniform. Seventeen feet out on the court, at the elbow, an area from which he has operated for most of his career, he has had seven games to watch the world go by. It has not been a pretty sight. Webber is a five-time All-Star forward, a gifted scorer and passer acquired from Sacramento just before the Feb. 24 trade deadline. He was brought here to ride shotgun for Allen Iverson, to finally be the complementary star who could find common ground with the league's leading scorer. He didn't expect to be on the outside looking in. He didn't expect boos cascading down from the Wachovia Center fans. He didn't expect to be a target amid Tuesday night's 104-85 loss to Golden State. He didn't expect that, with 21 games left, the Sixers would be three games under .500 and fighting for their playoff lives. "It's funny, I heard the boos at the game, but you've got to understand, I wanted to boo, too," Webber said after practice yesterday at Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, as the Sixers looked ahead to tonight's game against the gritty expansion Charlotte Bobcats. "I don't take that personal, man. I'm an athlete, I'm a competitor. [There are] no expectations on me by anybody else that I probably haven't doubly wanted... "Booing doesn't bother me. I've been in the league 12 years and, like I said, I wanted to boo. It's just the way it goes. It's just been a learning experience as far as the transition. But everything else has been positive. [The people have] welcomed me. I'm a city kid [from Detroit] and it's good to be back in the city and see people. </div> Source
Lol,he wanted to boo too? Start playing well and you can boo the other team. If the L pops out tonight again I could break down mentally (Maybe Im saying this cause Im tired but oh well...the Eagles are getting injured and we lost Jeff so why the hell do I love those Philly teams so much?)
Yeah, if he plays in Philadelphia, he better get used to the tough atmosphere. He's really been playing horrible the past few games and has arguably hurt this team a bit. However, I wouldn't think too much of their losses since they still need to build up their chemistry. I'm pretty sure they can make everything work in time to make the playoffs and put a legitamite playoff run or something.
Man, imagine if he was playing like this in NY?? He'd get clowned and Isiah would get criticized for bringing in a guy that was due 20+ million for the next couple of years who was playing like this.
