    the irony is that my sixers have the worst spacing out of any team in the NBA....

    They need to stop spacing out and start dialing in.

    Maybe, but it helps me understand how a player performed. For example a couple games ago some posters were saying how player x was top ten in the world, real fan boy description, of the game. Thankfully i watched the game as well and clearly saw he underperformed.

    Its gotten to the point where i cant trust some to most posters opinion of the game and, to some degree have to rely on kicker/dutch ratings.

    While the ratings are subjective and even at times biased (see morales) they help paint a more accurate picture of the players performance.

    Don’t worry. You are allowed to watch the games and even form personal opinions. Just keep them to yourself ;)

    Ouch.... couldn't come at a worse time. They play a red-hot Frankfurt on Friday before playing PSV in the CL midweek. At least they get the dumpster-fire that is Werder Bremen the folllowing weekend. Very interested to see if Gio is "punished" for his foul in the last game. Other than that play, I thought he played well until the dying moments of the game when the entire team seemed to pack it in. BVB is such an odd team. I wouldn't be surprised if they lost to Frankfurt but beat PSV.

    “I think my parents say I got the best of both of them, to be honest, because my dad was more of a technical, combining player, good on the ball, and with good technique, while my mum was more of a runner. I think I can run pretty well too, but I also have a good technique and a good combination. I think I got the best of both of them, but I can still always work and improve on both of them.”

    No one ever accused Claudio Reyna of being a "runner"...

    Ha! That's why Junior said "technical" and "combining". You can't flat out say Pops was slow. No Dad wants to hear that. Gotta respect the elders. :D

    I think Gio is basically repeating the mantra that Dad has already said in interviews about junior.

    Claudio played in a time when being fast was still not a requisite.

    No... But just means more of a shift. Thankfully dortmund does not treat reyna like mckennie. ;)

    I thought he played right wing/midfielder on a number of occasions when Piszczek started as right back.
