I don't support the firing of Jim O'Brien. He didn't get along with the Philly Press? Who cares, he won ten more games then the year before and led the team back to the playoffs. Sam Dalembert was mad about his playing time? Who cares - that's just a clueless 23 year old just learning the game. Rocking the boat again in Philly after they finally were buying into a new system just doesn't make any sense to me. **Jim O'Brien has taken an unbelievable amount of heat from the Philadelphia media, including Stephen A. Smith calling for his firing with about two weeks left in the season. Of course, what Stephen A. missed in his analysis is that the Sixers won 10 more games than last year, won 8 of their final 10, and qualified for the playoffs for the first time since Larry Brown was here (another coach that Stephen A. tried to run out of town). I think O'Brien has done a good job, especially when you consider he was introducing a whole new system. Unfortunately for him and the Sixers, Detroit is the worst possible first round match up.

Great for Philly. He was the best thing to come to the Celtics since Larry Bird. Took a joke of a team and turned them into competitors - the Celtics had a great run in the playoffs last year and they did that with two moderate stars and a bunch of stiffs. The Celtics have made some ridiculous moves over the past few years. When they get something good they immediately get rid of it. Woah - we have an opportunity to have a succesful team this year - we can't have that! Let's trade Antoine Walker for Paul Pope Owens. Let's get rid of a potential young star like Chauncey Billups who has a great rookie season, and let's start Oprah Wimphrey at guard instead. Lets get 55 year old Robert Parish back on the team and start him at center. Whatever we can do to make the Celtics suck. Jim O'Brien had no choice but to leave.

though he's a philadelphia natives, the big question is whether or not he can handle the troubling Iverson who recently always have problems with his coaches (even coach Larry Brown has to give up). and on every occation, Iverson always wins the case
