ORGINAL POST Its half-time and the score is 48-42 Sixers. They are playin some great basketball together and everyone seems to be gettin a chance to get some points. Sixers had a bigger lead earlier in the game but they let it slip to only 6 points. I'll be updating as the game moves along in the 2nd half... EDIT #1 4:25 left in the 3rd quarter and Philly is leading 55-51. Coleman is leading the Sixers with 12 points and 7 rebounds. He is also recievin help from the rest of his team along with Glenn Robinson who has so far picked up 12 points and 2 rebounds. This looks like its gonna be a close game and no predictions yet till the end EDIT #2 59-57 Sixers with 2:25 left in the 3rd quarter. LeBron hit a three to tie the game then Salmons hit a jump shot to give the Sixers the lead again. See how quickly that lead went away? lol LeBron seems to be hot tonight, shooting 4-5 from threes, 10-17 on the game, and a total of 24 points... Close game as I said... EDIT #3 ***End of the 3rd Quarter*** Game tied at 62 a piece and James has been carrying this team throughout this game. They showed highlights on ESPN... but James shot that last three from deep out there lol. Kenny thomas is 2 rebounds away from a double-double. The Cavs seem to be crawling back, Sixers need to step up their game the next quarter. They were outscroed 20-14 in the 3rd and if they want to win, they obviously need to score more than the Cavs do in the last and final quarter. This is where Allen Iverson would take over... the 4th quarter. EDIT #4 LeBron just basically took over the game, the score is 78-72 with 3:14 left. They have ben outscored 16-10 in the 4th quarter and LeBron has a game leading 34 points. Did Kenny Thomas get injured? Cuz he has been on the bench for a while. ERIC SNOW SUCKS... TRADE HIM. We need to trade him.. he is doin nothin for our team besides not losing the ball. Edit #5 You can call it a game, 27 seconds left and Cavs winning 83-74. Sixers let this one slip away and LeBron just shined tonight and led the Cavs to a victory. This is where we need Iverson...DAMN.
Seem to be crawling back? They were down 14. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">This is where Allen Iverson takes over... the 4th quarter.</div> You do know he is not playing right?
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting King James:</div><div class="quote_post">Seem to be crawling back? They were down 14. You do know he is not playing right?</div> Yea they were down by 14, therefore the Cavs would be crawling back. Yea I know Ivo isn't playin, my bad on the Typo, this is where Iverson WOULD take over.
God how could we lose. If we can beat Detroit with this line up and then lose to Cleveland. Terrible game. LeBrons scoring was too much. Glenn is picking it up though, great to see. Still dissapointed of the loss. 76ers Leaders PTS: Robinson 18 REB: Coleman 8 AST: Coleman 5 (Wow) Cavs Leaders PTS: James 36 REB: Ilgauskis 9 AST: James 5

If we were going with passing; Yes. But scoring; No. He hasnt been much affected stepping up when Allen is out. It seems he has his good games when Iverson is playing. I think many teams would be interested in him. I loved Eric's play last year. Some nights 25 + pts with 10 + assists. He was a true point guard and still can be if he picks it up. BTW, dont we have Eric to 2009?

Long term, no clue why someone would sign him that long. Snow was pretty good last year, but he needs a jump shot... he somehow needs to score instead of just lay-ups and free throws.
I think he is fine where he is, he is the controller of the team, and that's where we need him the most. We don't need his scoring, we have Allen and Glenn for that, his 10 points per game are just fine. He is a coach's player, he follows what a coach has to say 100% and I respect that. He executes well, and is one of the best in his position.
