Doug Collins cares…..have you seen the way he looks only 3 games into this NBA season? His passion for the 76’rs is etched on his face. But the bangs and the dimples of the early 70’s have been replaced by the lines of age and damaged by the effect of migraines. Our beloved prodigal son is looking kind of old these days.
He signed on to coach a team with a point guard who can’t shoot, a prize draft pick that can’t score, a swing player that can’t find his niche, a power forward that is past his prime, and no center. Tell me again Doug, does the microphone look a little better to you now? I’ll bet it does.
The money is always a temptation, and the competitive fires will always beckon those who thrive on it and are steeped in it. But this team really has little or no chance to compete, and Collins deserves better than this.
So I call on President Rod Thorn and GM Ed Stefanski to mortgage the future and get us a top tier player who can score, and an athletic center that can defend and rebound. You won’t win the NBA title anytime soon, but you might be saving a life.
Do it for Doug Collins….before it’s too late.
Ken - I agree it's not the right job for the man.
ReplyDeleteObviously they got Collins to try to fill the seats.
But it won't work. This franchise is a mess.
I love Ed, God bless him, but he is a bullshitter.
He's very good at it, but that won't put a winner
on the floor. Sixers have some interesting parts.
What they needed was a young, hungry, super-genius
coach to try to make something out of these parts.
I love Dougie, but let's face it - he's already done almost everything he is going to do in his career.
As for bringing in a top tier player - how can the Sixers possibly lure such a player to join this mess?
Trade Iggy...its the only way.
