  The coaching staff should definitely be held accountable for a whooping at home in an elimination game against a team missing their two best players. However, I think Ratliff is still emotional from the loss. Hopefully he'll take back his comments. With that said, I don't think DiLeo will be our coach next year. He's a good strategist and game plan coach but I'm not sure that he has a great relationship with all of the players and really has control of the team. He platooned with Jim Lynum and the other assistants for the entire year in coaching the team. So he wasn't really the HEAD coach. Hopefully, the Stefanski can get someone like Avery Johnson who's had some success coaching in this league.

    i agree, but it's still the players on the court that didn't show up with any heart in game 6.

  It 'a sad time when a player starts blaming the coach,but I don't recall seeing him playing on the court.

  Jamestime -- you don't recall seeing him playing on the court? He was getting more playing time than Dalmebert during the last part of the season and the playoffs!

  yea he was. dalmebert needs to be gone, another as*hole contract by billy king. As for Dileo, never thought he was head coach material. I never seen him mad or in a players face and thats the stuff that needs to happen especially with a young team.

  if we can find a coach that can bring out the best in iggy, thaddeus, speights, and even brand i think this team could be a contender, but we need miller back and i dont know how good that looks right now

  I would LOVE to get Avery Johnson. We need to draft or trade for some 3 pt shooters though.

  Hey,Let's face the facts Philadelphia 76ers had a Golden Opportunity when Dwight Howard was suspended for that Game 6 and they didn't take advantage of it,So it is a lesson learned...The 76ers are a team on the rise and if Andre Miller decides to stay then the East might wanna watchout come next season and Andre Igoudala #9 ( I can't call him AI,cause there is only one Allen Iverson aka the Original AI..) and the rest of team can get past this lost and learn from it they'll be much better off..Oh Yeah Theo Ratliff is just letting off steam..
