Doug Collins Explains Sixers Being Gored By Bulls (121-76)

In a game where the Sixers were down by as much as 50 points, but only lost by 45 (Yeah, I know) Doug Collins tries to explain reason behind the lack of hustle to the media. So the question remains, where will this team go from here? Should Collins be fired, since they fired Eddie Jordan earlier then Collins?

You not the only one whose team is on BS mode. My Pistons fell off miserably. A few years ago We was running over teams. And when Joe Dumars traded Chauncey Billups we just fell apart from there. And whoever is ruining the Sixers need to fired ASAP.

@TLJthethird

I noticed that, now I hear they're trying to run Rip Hamilton out of town, is that true? And yeah, I think the problems for the previous couple of years for the Sixers, have come from the front office.

@EventStatus I hope they don't get Rid of Hamilton. It's bad enough we don't have Chauncey and Rasheed anymore.

@TLJthethird

They're trying to push for it I think due to contract issues, I hope they don't get rid of him too. People barely remember he came from the Wizards, and he seems to feel at home in Detroit.

yea this game was bad. but did you see how they bounced back the next night against boston? they lost by 4 but it was impressive considering getting mauled by the bulls the night before. and what you said to dallaswillalwayssuck, collins definitely seems better to me than eddie jordan

@phillyphan4ever

No matter how we "bounced back" a loss is a loss, and we've been seeing these types of loses all year, because they can't finish down the stretch. Collins is better than Jordan coach-wise, but if Collins doesn't do any better there's no reason to keep him. Collins needs to rock the boat to stay. Players just don't seem to be responding to him that much. Maybe it's not Collins, maybe it's just the players lack of strong will, but someone has to make a move.

I agree, the backcourt even though it's cold right now, is the only thing worth keeping really. Young is good, but inconsistent.

[iLayzie28]

@EventStatus Yeah I'm thinking Collins will be fired. They should start with a clean slate and build around J. Holiday and Meeks, and maybe get a future star and a vet.

@jd55192

Yeah, but you never know. I just hope before they fire him they find a legit coach, instead of using an interim one.

@DallasWillAlwaysSuck

Really? Jordan was 27-55, if Collins doesn't beat that, do you think he's still the right coach for the job? Remember, in order for this team to have progression, we have to get out the first round of the playoffs. We didn't make the playoffs last year, but the 3 consecutive years before that, we were eliminated in the first round.
