I don't know people who grew up playing but. Yeah listen I don't believe that the -- it. We're looking at plan a and if that doesn't work out then then we'll go to plan B plan a a -- hander. And it's amazing just him standing out very distorted the whole practice. And I you know it's like to get visions of what might have been with. Less than thirty games left in the season the Sixers on a five game streak in the wrong direction and dreams of eight seed fading its no wonder Doug Collins described in the season. As one that's gotten away with every loss the question -- more from -- -- Bynum can help this team make a play -- run to the bigger picture should he stay. Or should -- go. I think you got to see if he ever does take the court clearly there's a possibility that he does not. But if he comes back and he can be productive I think that have to factor in at some point we make that decision. Notify me to give -- -- bombed a Max money -- look before. I have to see them practice I have to -- you play -- games that sold me that he's good to be healthy and injury free. Now the question -- opposes what the Sixers should he Bynum -- send -- -- but -- brought it's a two way street. Bynum is an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season which means he can walk if he chooses to -- according to him he's keeping his options open it. I only play. And whoever. And on you know I mean from the Sixers and they keep me great solid. -- much and in your little which cajun guys there's there's no there's no lessons you. He's the reason unrestricted free agent so I mean he had the decision to I mean he could just go anywhere he wants so it is not right we are young ones make it such. Not -- look is be loyal but the look that was the best option for -- vessel is Dubai I'm gonna make that decision known -- -- what's the best option for me -- like with the Celtics has been a -- -- to holiday and good owners. I'm staying here from -- one. Money matters and that is the one advantage the Sixers will have -- in fact they do want to keep -- their medical staff says that's a good investment. Is the fact that they can have his Larry Bird rights and therefore he stands to make more money here than he could somewhere else. So many questions on Bynum are unanswerable one thing is certain he says he'll likely be in a situation where he has to tolerate pain. For the rest of his career from the -- viewpoint the question then becomes. Can they handle the pain of the financial burden they'll be gambling on. Marshall -- Comcast sports net.

And look they would they went through that scoring drought. From Saturn better from Friday night through Sunday and then all of a sudden sort of in a way that I don't think anybody expected. They all seem sort of surprised by it. Where they break out of that scoring slump and then not only break out of it but also win the game with with two harm could really they had two chances to have a walk off win. But Cliff Lee got stuck on first base help but it was a it was a good it was a good weekend from another strong outing for John some bad news that is when Ryan Howard he's got. Bad left knee and Charlie and doesn't expect him to play tomorrow also Carlos I haven't MRI. On Monday to determine what's up. With his hamstring how big are these injuries absolutely Brigham and when you look at a team that has struck despite the fact that they won the game on Sunday. They're team that struggled to score and those are two of your better bats. In that lineup and both Howard and grocery said that they were database so you don't know when you're gonna get these guys back it didn't sound like they were in any danger at least not a Howard's.

Is those struggling shall we say the floundering fish the Miami Marlins the Phillies get to play them for three games even the bring. Back power forward in the five man rotation how do you like that are shaping up the least experience I think for the Phillies you gotta be pretty excited after coming off of a series where you were you squeak out this last one here after having his scoring John you see the Marlins had the the Marlins in the Mets have been.
