2-4 at best

it will be 3-3....i was one game off and thats because i didnt anticipate that boston would go into overtime the night before playing the sixers and essentially give up before the opening tip

[phattymatty]

sam young, sixer

for a second round pick apparently. i'm cool with that.

[DH]

meh. now the grizzles can sign gilbert

[ice grillin you]

im 100% sure it will fall short but this comeback has been nuts

[Dillen]

As horrible as they played in the first half they played just as good in the second. Still can't hit free throws and shtein but we know that already. Especially in a close game against the Heat. At least Turner looks like he's actually a worthwhile player now

[SD]

Nice comeback. Iggy pulled his usual bonehead act by not fouling with .28 seconds left. Turner was possessed.

The two things that frustrate me most about playing the Heat is 1) They get ridiculous calls and the Sixers get shtein 2) role players like Haslem and Chalmers constantly hit big shots. I know they have to put a lot of resources covering Wade/Lebron but these guys always hit clutch shots against the Sixers.

hes better with the ball than jeru...but tonight turner was pretty bad...he had a bunch of just terrible turnovers...and the double miss on the free throws pretty much ended the comeback

i used to think not having a shooter was their biggest problem on offense...but i think more than that is their absolutely inability to finish at the rim...they are all so farging soft going to the basket so they dont get pts or draw fouls

turner and iguodala are nerds and lou and thad are suburban aau guys....they need some inner city toughness on the team

[MDS]

iggy not fouling with 28 secs left down by 4 was pure gold

even though he might have gotten the 8 that never ever happen as it is. idiot.

Turner was possessed.

lol wat?

no chance you watched the game...or flipped to a couple times when turner scored

iguodala and turner basically played the exact same game...neither were good...really no one on the team was (jeru played the worst game of his career)

they got run out of the gym and the heat stopped playing so they made a comeback that never had a shot of happening...they all sucked tonight

I missed most of the 3rd quarter and part of the 4th because I had to pick up my daughter. Late in the 4th Turner was making clutch shots and driving hard to the lane drawing fouls. There was a stretch where he was the best player on the court.

Like I said in an earlier post, they should devote the offseason to tip ins. They're the worst team I can remember at it.

yeah turner had that really strong drive where he went hard to the rim and got fouled when it was at six....and the place was going nuts

thats where he missed both free throws

[SunMo]

i think ET is good at going to the rim and adjusting to contact.  i was disappointed in lou last night, he had a bunch of opportunities that he couldn't finish

[ice grillin you]

lou is so inconsistent just because of his size....if his shot is going down he can have 20 pts in 20 minutes...if its not hes done because he doent have a plan b as hes too small and weak to get to the hole consistently

i think him and jeru last night were combined 7-32
