Going to be a good one tonight. I think they eek out a close one and run it to 5 straight.

i dont know when the win streak will end but when it does expect and equal number losing streak

lol prolly true.


as much as i want them to win tonight i do not think with shaq back they can match up with the heat.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Damn.

The Heat were shooting the f'ing lights out. Their blazing hot start combined with the Sixers starting off slow set the tone early.

AI's thumb injury was clearly affecting his FT shooting. He was 7/16 from the line and that was the most that he's ever missed in a game.

They got down by 20 in the 3rd but the late push was nice. Goddamn Walker and his 3's after it was 95-90 ended all hope. I hate that jerkoff with a passion.

Shav Randolph was big again. This dude is quickly becoming a very good player. His rebounding skills are very good and I hope they rub off on the rest of these guys.

They need a rebounding defensive stud in a BAD way. No perimeter defense, no boards...ugh.

Shav's killing it.   He was a stud in high school, and looks like he's finally making his mark on the game.  Not to mention, I hear he's a hell of a freestyler. 

As for the game, once again Fatoine kills us, and we have played awful defense.  Why do we guard Dwayne Wade at the 3 point line, only to let him drive on us and take it to the paint, while leaving guys like posey and walker wide open.  Wade's a slasher, yet we D him up like he's gonna beat us hitting 3s. 

If AI didn't injure his hand, I think we win this game.  AI does not miss that many free throws, ever.   Tough loss, but the Heat are a good team so I'll take it.  Just please, no losing streaks.

i believe sam dalembert was responsible for a bunch of those walker threes. he had no clue what was going on, was randomly leaving his man wide open to go double or just wonder away from walker, and on the plus side was totally inept offensivley. what a great player.

Was at lastnights game. Got to the Wach Center at 2 to play in some shooting tourney -- they basically set up circles with numbers in them and you and  your partner have 1 minute to rotate turns and shoot from different circles. My mad whitey skills got us to the second round where we got anihilated. Some guys from the Air Force won it for the second year in a row. They went up against Doug Overton and World B. Free in the finals and got smoked.

Anyways, Billy King came out to say hi and answer some questions:
-- He answered the Artest question before he started to get it out of the way. Basically said there is a definite interest but he's not too sure. Said some days he wakes up and thinks its a good idea and other days thinks its best if they kept away from him altogether. Also said the fans and the media don't know half the story with this guy. Said he has dinner often with Reggie Miller and that there's even more than what we see.
-- Said Willie Green is doing well and that they're trying to get him on the court before seasons end. Said it was more for his psyche than it was for conditioning.
-- Is happy wtih Randolphs play so far. Made a joke about Duke players and said Krzyzewski should take some pointers from Moe because he's getting more out of him. Walked by Randolph on our way to the suite and he's freaking tall.



Didn't say much else, we got to watch the players warm up from courtside. Korver doesn't miss, it's almost comical. Louis Williams came into the Lexus Club to sign autographs and chat.

(Geez, just read this over and I almost sound like Art   )

[MDS]

Get Artest! Seriously.

Nice post, Art.

[ice grillin you]

Shav's killing it

pump your brakes homie

[BigEd76]

Shav had a reverse dunk today 

Iguodala with 26 pts, 5 assts, 3 rebs, 3 steals

Korver with 23 pts, 6 rebs, 7 assts, 2 steals

Sixers win 107-80 

[MDS]

Only the Raptors could make as mediocre of a team as the Sixers are look that good.

[hunt]

wow...this thread almost dropped off the first page.  can you feel the excitement!

anyway, they lost to the hawks tonight...atl had balanced scoring with 3 guys scoring 20+.
the sixers were a 1 man show...and lost.

[Eagles_Legendz]

Iverson was beastly hunt.   To try to blame that on him is laughable.  If you want to point blame at somebody, I think Salmons should be willing to accept a large chunk of it.
