And its bad, bad willie green
Worst darn shooter that I've ever seen
Badder than stale chow mien
And his shooting does hurt my spleen
Badder than stale chow mien
And his shooting does hurt my spleen
While the Sixers have been playing amazing basketball, they have been doing it in spite of our favorite whipping boy Willie Green. His numbers for the last four games:
vs Orlando: 1-9 from the field, 2 points
vs New Jersey: 3-17 (17 shots?!?!), 9 points
vs Boston: 1-7, 4 points
vs Chicago: 4-14, 9 points, 4 turnovers (and the rest of the Sixers only totaled 4 turnovers for the entire game)
Adding these four games together and you get a guy shooting 19%, yet averaging almost 12 shots a game.
Now I will admit, Jim and I weren't exactly standing on top of the mountain, singing Willie's praises in January and February when he was playing the best basketball of his career. But we are here ready to pounce on him as he returns to his patented methods of awfulness. Hopefully he either a)at least gets back to being mediocre or b)the rest of the Sixers are able to overcome his terribleness. I really hope that Willie Green is not the reason the Sixers get bounced out of the playoffs early.
