Mo Cheeks: Not Exactly Thrilled With the Sixers

Dude is basically ignoring everyone in the organization, and won’t be on hand for the Spectrum’s final game: “Maurice Cheeks is not scheduled to be at the Wachovia Spectrum tonight. He will not stand with Julius Erving, Bobby Jones and Moses Malone, his teammates on the 76ers’ 1982-83 NBA championship team, for the final game played at the arena where they raised a banner. He will not watch this mid-March version of the Sixers, the ones he coached until being fired in December, play the Chicago Bulls…Sixers coach Tony DiLeo said he left Cheeks a message ‘a long time ago’ and still hadn’t heard back. ‘Whenever he’s ready, I’m sure he’ll get back to me,’ DiLeo said.”

    I definitely ain’t mad at Mo. The Sixers did him dirty.

    That’s pretty f*cked up that he won’t be there as part of the championship team at least.

    Hes pissed that the spectrum is being torn down or cause he was fired by the 76ers

    Think about it…Cheeks has been a model of class his whole career both playing and coaching. (remember him helping the young girl with the Anthem?) Imagine what the organization had to have done to him for him not to stand with the guys he battled with and for? Maybe Barkley had a point….hmmmmm

    ^ Co-sign that. In fact, I even have my doubts that DiLeo ever invited Cheeks. If he did, he probably sent the invite via e-mail to the old account that Mo had back when he was still the team’s coach. Owners are sheisty.
