Has Maher saved Phil?
Could they put Maher on Injury waivers and bring in a Damien Ryan for the equivalent of mahers wage?? has he signed anywhere yet??
I guess then they could release chappell and keep Ryan when Maher returms and go with a smaller line up with 3 guards, and possibly bring in a young SF to have a crack for like Dench is some one like Stefan Blacynski still available??? or isnt Marquin Chandler the same points value as dench??
a team of something like(once Maher returns)
PG Maher/Davidson/Sutton
SG Ryan/Ng
SF Chandler/Copeland
PF Ballinger
C Mottram/Cooper
Would that be better than what we have now???

I've posted this in another thread but is also applicable here. The Sixers played their best quarter in the last quarter against NZ holding them to only 11 points with Maher out for most of that quarter. I do not see this injury as an excuse at all to lose games. They need to keep playing the way they did on Saturday. Also, I see no reason to relate Maher's injury with saving Phil. The win on Saturday night was a combination of efforts from both the team and the coach.

I reckon without our relieance on Maher - we might actually win a few more games if Phil can get his rotations correct .....
Besides, if Mal hasn't fired Phil yet - can't see it happening till the end of the season.
