Some suggestions, observations or otherwise obvious facts after Maurice Cheeks caused Larry Brown to otherwise tear his hair out in the almost comback.

Things have to improve: No not on the defensive end, the 76ers were still creating turnovers.

Offensively: You know other then a few poor jumpshots, and a weakened rotation (Nailon ejection) Hey it’s only the preseason.

No the Adjustment I’m talking about is the one many people practically screamed at Jimmy O’Brien. No it wasn’t to change the ‘shut down the middle’ scheme.

No It wasn’t to start Willie Green (Even though he deserved it then) It wasn’t to show us if Webber could fit in the offense (If he’s Healthy this year and catches onto the scheme (If that’s possible) It could be done) It was to bench Kyle Korver.

Let it be known I have respect for the 3rd year man out of Crehighton he took that sad excuse of a college basketball school to the NCAA tournament.

He led the 76ers and the league in total three pointers made Tied with Irony Quentin Richardson of the New York Knicks.

And as Irony as it also seems, In his first Home game being televised since Game 4 of the Eastern conference first round. He missed shots so badly it was a practically a replay of the very shot that he missed that otherwise if knocked down would’ve tied the series.

Let it be known that Korver needs to sit.

Not only because he isn’t strong enough to endure the NBA game, but a shooter of Korver’s calabar needs to be saved for the important moments.

Take today’s defeat from the New York Knicks for example: After going 0-14 from the Outside He hit a critical 3 pointer, and drove into the Mid-Range Jumper and knocked it down.

This time Maurice Cheeks couldn’t give Korver the excuse of learning a new system, for Korver didn’t even bother with a few exceptions to take it to the weight room.

Kyle Korver has played 3 yrs in the NBA, and has chucked his fair share of bad shots, but Never has he missed 14 three pointers. And Never I repeat Never have I seen a player so one-dimensional in my 4 yr analyzing career. In one game no in one pre-season game alone we learned more about Kyle Korver, then Jim O’Brien ever shown us: He simply isn’t an NBA player. Korver’s not strong or willing enough to get down to the nitty gritty and draw fouls. And He needs to sit. In one game alone, fans want to change the rotation. Give credit to the New York Knicks for having an outstanding presense in the middle, the only thing they did right today, but take away some of those bad shots and replace them with lay-ups, good shot selection, and an ability to get down to work, It’s a new ball game.

STOP. Really. You make no sense whatsoever. Your points are POINTLESS and you go every where with your post. It doesnt stay on topic to what your topic is. Please really. Start really watching the games before you make your assesments. Because if you did, you would not be saying Kyle Korver wasnt a NBA player.

You know what I mean it was EVIDENT that he isn't a pure shooter and causes more harm then good missing 16 shots! 16 only Allen Iverson should be allowed to take 16 alone.

kamego

He's a career +40% 3 point shooter come on

Career numbers but inbetween games especially this pre-season alone he's only shot 29 percent from three.

Petey

Want to sell him back to the Nets for 150,000 usd?

He will get his shot back on during the regular season. He gets more shots right now because it's preseason.

and, its the preseason. See your inconsistent claims make no sense I stated being that hes a 40% career 3pt shooter. Allen Iverson was not playing and therefore other people had to step up and take shots. I wish Ai only took 16 shots a game. He would be much more effective.

No Petey, Just NO. Korver stays

Korver is 1-dimensional player. He should be coming off the bench. No, don't trade him.

Rayza

I totally agree. Korver is a good player off the bench, a very good one. But I think with the showing so far this season, he should not be on the Philly starting 5. Give Salmons a go. His defense is as solid if not better then Korver. Shooting wise korver has the edge. But Salmons is a quicker player, better ball handling skills and can create his own shots.

Now I think about it, Korver really works well of AI. I don't know how Salmons will be teamed up with AI.
