[ice grillin you]

2 for 20 in the fourth quarter

what a farging disgraceful loss

[MDS]

im an idiot and youre copy and pasting blogs?

shut up gentile

i farging love you, you know my insults are with love not with hate

sometimes i get why your work for the govt

[ice grillin you]

the black guys lost....concentrate on that

[SD_Eagle5]

how is mike fratello the nets announcer...the guy is one of the best in the biz and does color for a garbage team like new jersey...what a waste

Fratello is the worst. I couldn't stand him on TNT, smug wannabe know it all. Give me a break with the Czar shtein too. He's a less likeable Barry Melrose.

Rome isn't a Sixers fan

And for the trilliionth time I've always said I liked Igoudala, but he's still not worth the money. He'd be perfect as a spark off the bench but once playoff time rolls around his running style will be exploited. I praised him all last season and said the exact same thing...then Detroit proved me right. 3's are the easiest position in the NBA to fill and Thad is more than ready to replace him. You don't give one not named Lebron an $80 million contract.

you make fair points and at the same time i totally disagree with you...my question is what would you have done...let iguodala walk?...who would you have replaced him with...what would the team look like right now without their best player....what was your plan for the future?

I would have sign and traded his ass for a shooter.

Leaving Ray Allen open.  Brilliant.

[MDS]

nice job fighting through the screen thad

and nice job helping sammy

farging choking mcnabbs

[SD_Eagle5]

Leaving Ray Allen open.  Brilliant.

Unreal, guard the perimeter give up the easy friggen bucket and go into OT at home.

Even though Igoudala hit a clutch shot that could have won the game he didn't score with .5 seconds left so he's a choker.

thats the second game this year the sixers gagged at the end of the game because thad lost his man

doesnt really matter tho if garnett plays they lose by 20

[reese125]

its worth mentioning over and over until this squad figures out to play perimeter farging defense

another breaker

[hunt]

they were supposed to switch on all screens...thad got picked by dalembert's man...  sammy didn't switch.
sixers lose.

[reese125]

did you hear that somewhere because what I saw was a lackadaisical Thad paying way too much attention to Pierce and not focusing on Allen after his pass to Pierce.

After the pass by Allen to Pierce...Thad was drifting over Pierces way and shouldnt have...he was late on getting around the screen because of it and should of remained on Ray the whole way....Sixers lose

[hunt]

did you hear that somewhere

yep....both thad & dileo mentioned in their post game interviews that they were supposed to switch on all screens on that last play.
if you see the replay again, watch as sammy's man sets a screen on thad.  sammy was supposed to switch out on allen.
he didn't.

[ice grillin you]

lackadaisical Thad paying way too much attention to Pierce and not focusing on Allen after his pass to Pierce.

the funniest part was when he ralized what he had done...you could almost see him say "OH shtein" and then he just started to book after allen

hunt just hates sammy and was gonna blame him no mater what really happend

thad starts to run at pierce for absolutely no reason...theres no screen there nothing...he just completely leaves his man (allen)...then he compounds the situation by taking the long route to try and get back to ray and because he went high get got picked (which by the way was illegal)...if he goes underneath he has a much better chance of getting to allen...bottom line tho is he never should have left allen up two...you help on pierce if the game is tied

[hunt]

he said "oh shtein" when he realized that mush brain dalembert didn't switch out on allen like he was supposed to.

[MDS]

sammy is as dumb as they get but this is on thad.
