I expect a pretty good game here. They have a lot of front court size with Haywood, Mullens, and Biyombo. And we gotta watch out for Kemba or Ben Gordon catching fire. Not that those guys are very reliable threats, but they aren't afraid of rapid firing and can heat up quickly.

On the flip side, I really don't know much about MKG or Taylor, but based on their roster the Bobcats backcourt/perimiter defense looks pretty atrocious. Hopefully Jrue, J-Rich, Swaggy, and Turner can have their way with them.

Don't be surprised if mkg gets all in turners lunch box.

Well then, he had better prepare to be on the receiving end of one or two nifty spin moves!

MKG is, i think, a good cover for turner..... from a purely acdemic standpoint.

hes basicaly a bigger, and less talented, russell westbrook. and i mean that because MKG is gonna take the ball to the rim, and im curious how turner will defend him since he did such a good job on westbrook.... and MKG isnt a dangerous threat shooting. so that could make turners job a lil easier.

we shall see.

i wouldnt be shocked to see turner end up defending gordon if gordon gets hot shooting the ball.

[RickyPrior]

I'd rather JRich defend perimeter guys. He's a better defender than Evan out there.

[BChydro86]

uhm..... which j-rich have u been watching.... he cant move laterally to save his life.

he does the willie green/jodie meeks defense.... get real close and waive ur hands around.... and then get beat by any decent ball handler.

Me thinks you don't know basketball too well.

Everyone gets "beat" by decent ball handlers. (You do know that the guy with the ball has the advantage, right?)

Anyway, Turner's defense sucks. You're just recalling, like sheep, the initial scouting report on him when he entered the NBA. From that point forward...Turner was some lock-down master.

I gotta tell you: the emperor's not wearing any clothes, brotha.

wow cant beleive u have stooped to making stuff about ET. this hatred goes deep doesnt it?

[sixer04fan]

His defense isn't great on any level, but it certainly doesn't suck. He's an above average defender. And it has improved since he came into the league. To say his defense "sucks" is either a huge exaggeration, or just plain stupidity. And to say someone doesn't know basketball because he doesn't think Turner's D sucks is even more stupidity.

Hates gonna hate. As usual, I guess.

[sixer04fan]

Ok Ricky. Pick on anyone who doesn't hate Turner or suck Iggy/Lou's dicks. Like always.

[Justsomeguy76]

Well despite the J-Rich/Turner defensive controversy haha, let's go Sixers! This is a game we need to win. We have to take care of the rest of this easier schedule before it gets tough.

Edited Rickys post - SL

While i would say Jrich has better D than advertised he snit CLOSE to turner.

[SJSF]
