Mo Cheeks

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When Maurice Cheeks was fired as the Coach of the Portland Trailblazers.  I made this statement:

“In retrospect Coach Cheeks was denied the opportunity by the Blazers to talk to the Sixers last summer when Philly wanted to give him the job. The Philly fans, Allen Iverson, Stephen A. Smith and my blogger buddy Avery Tooley would probably embrace the moved by the Sixers to hire Maurice Cheeks.  Ole Sarge on the other hand would see him as “The Enemy” “Go Wizards”  

Coach Cheeks will be coaching again soon!”

According to ESPN.com article (courtesy of the Associated Press)

“Maurice Cheeks is running the show again for the Philadelphia 76ers.

In a surprising move nearly three weeks following the end of their season, the Sixers fired Jim O'Brien on Monday after one season as coach and replaced him with Cheeks, one of the most popular players in franchise history.”

Congrats goes out to Maurice cheeks.  A Hell of a nice guy, and a great coach however, he is clearly now the enemy.  My loyalty lies with my belove Washington Wizards.  I love the city of Philly but I hate all of their sports teams
