Nagy: Club must make a call re Chappell
I wasn't at Saturday's game against the Kings but have been following the discussions about it pretty closely. A number of people have lot has been said that a major difference between the first and second halves was the defensive performance of the 36ers. I wondered how that argument stands against the Kings scoring 56 points in each half, at similar percentages from the field?
I know they didn't get as many 3 point baskets in the second half. The defensive intensity may show in the much higher number of foul shots taken (and made) by the Kings in the second half. However, the real difference seems to be in the aggression and accuracy of the 36ers in the second half. They took a similar number of shots to the first but got a lot more in (especially 3 point shots) and had a lot more foul shots too. Maybe that offensive success keyed off of the defensive changes? Nonetheless, it doesn't appear that the defensive changes affected the Kings offensive output.

Really, thought it might be their arms...

thedoctor, I am just as frustrated as everyone else each time I go to a game and see Chappell contributing very little, not only in scoring but also excitement to the game. I loved Farley and Charles Thomas for their entertainment. I too want Chappell replaced as there is a need for that and I want to see the team win most of their games, not losing them. However, I am sick to death of all the sack Chappell campaigns. It is a subject that has gone on for too long. The club must be aware of the fan's opinions on this matter and don't believe for a minute they would not be taking action. By taking action, I don't mean immediately sacking him because that may not be an option for whatever reason. What I would be sure about is that they are carefully considering what options there are for them. I've said it before, Hemmerling is quite a business pro with proven success behind him. I would be leaving things in his hands and trust he is doing the right thing.

Yes I will keep renewing because I still believe it can't stay this bad forever. I'll be there when the tide changes and the 36ers are back to their former championship glory. Its a long storm to be riding out but the end is coming. Apart from that, any true fan regardless of the current performance would be attached to their team. There are players in the team now that I want to keep supporting.
