At one point, Lavoy Allen and Tony Battie were the frontcourt. That may be the worst ever.
Topics to air grievances: LeBron James, Chris Bosh, Andre Miller, referees, knees, Mike Miller, Heat announcers, Doug Collins, Marreese Speights, LL Cool J, CBS reporters who declared JoePa dead, Chex Mix, cleavage, clicky pens, and Newt Gingrich.
Tough night. Mourn it in whatever way you see fit.

Doug makes stupid decisions… a lot.
Clint Eastwood - January 21, 2012 via mobile
Remember when we played the nuggets and Miller was hot in the first half so he started in the second half? I wish Doug would take a couple notes from that game. I know I’ve been an advocate to have Meeks as the starter, but Turner should’ve been starting the second half after his great first half.
jefu - January 21, 2012
Positives: Turner, Vuc
Negatives: Everyone else except Lou and EB
philsandthrills - January 21, 2012
Lou was pretty poor
jefu - January 21, 2012
Still managed 22 on 16 shots, and probably should’ve gotten a few more calls down the stretch. I didn’t say he was positive, just not all that bad.
philsandthrills - January 21, 2012
He had garbage time points.
jefu - January 21, 2012
Sure, but they still had a slight chance after his 2nd three in a row with 4 minutes left.
philsandthrills - January 21, 2012
Knicks down 3
with 27.7 left to go. They have the ball.
PhiladelphiaEagles - January 21, 2012
It’s tough to win at basketball when you have no frontcourt.
Miami is better with one clear superstar on the court.
I just wasted 3 hours of my Friday night.
nyunole - January 21, 2012
Friday?
philsandthrills - January 21, 2012
Stupid gin….
nyunole - January 21, 2012
Is LeBron called “The King” because he makes the rules on the court?
The Mad Hopper - January 21, 2012
Yeah he’s allowed to take more than 2.5 steps when he drives to the basket.
jefu - January 21, 2012
Chris Bosh is such a clown.
Whatever, not too worried about the loss. We had no size at the end due to injuries, the Heat couldnt miss at times, and we were tired as hell.
Cant wait to play them again at full strength.
highwaterhello - January 21, 2012
poor subbing by collins. lacked interior offense and defense. we did not have a chance at this one with these sharp knives repeatedly stabbing us in the chest, removingly slowly only to deliver the anguish again…
other than that we played a swell game.
J.Michael Woodson - January 21, 2012
This loss was on Collins. Just a bad coaching game for him.
jefu - January 21, 2012
I felt like we were settling for outside shots too often instead of trying to drive in or feed the post. But the Heat’s defense sure wasn’t helping with that. And superstars like LeBron, and even Bosh (especially with the injuries to our bigs) are just too impossible to defend at times.
PhiladelphiaEagles - January 21, 2012
ET had the hot hand in the second quarter, I don’t know why he was on the bench for 10 minutes in the 3rd? Meeks was ineffective, he shouldn’t have played as much as he did.
The Mad Hopper - January 21, 2012
Meeks had spurts, I don’t fault him too much.
soman319 - January 21, 2012
I don’t fault him either, just wondering why he was in over ET
The Mad Hopper - January 21, 2012
Tough loss. I’m still waiting for the Sixers to get some respect from the refs. Between this game and the Knick’s game its been ridiculous. Lou Williams gets a foul when he drives against every other team in the NBA apparently except the Heat and NY.
aa9 - January 21, 2012
We lost this game in the last 2 minutes of the 3rd quarter.
1. Jrue played poorly
2. Iguodala was kind of invisible
3. Don’t be confused by stats, Lou Williams went BOSSy tonight and LWHAI popped up again. Most of his points were garbage time points.
4. Our front court is extremely thin/nonexistent
5. Meeks actually played well in spurts.
6. Thad was Thad
7. Turner was awesome in the first half.
8. Doug Collins pissed me off again. Same against the Nuggets… Turner was HOT in the first half…and he sat practically the whole third quarter. At one point he had Meeks and Lou Williams out at the same time…Wtf.
9. Heat literally played like they weren’t trying. Hats off, they were shooting well especially Bosh and Lebron.
soman319 - January 21, 2012
I felt like, despite that we were only down by 5 or so at times, we never had a shot at winning this game.
PhiladelphiaEagles - January 21, 2012
Thad was not Thad. Thad got owned again by Mr. Anthony, Joel.
jefu - January 21, 2012
Hence Thad was Thad. He provided sparks of offense at times but was playing poor individual defense.
I didn’t mean it as a compliment.
soman319 - January 21, 2012
He was a lot worse against the Heat. I think he was a shell of himself.
jefu - January 21, 2012
Fair enough. I consider Thad a front court version of Lou Williams as far as his utility. Sparks of offense and energy off the bench. But poor individual defense.
soman319 - January 21, 2012
His individual defense isn’t that bad, he just can’t defend in the post. Doug makes sure he doesn’t really have to.
76ersloyal - January 23, 2012
It's movie time with the g/f
What do we watch?
1. Straw Dogs
2. Warrior
3. Super 8
4. Bridesmaids
I’m letting you all decide
The Mad Hopper - January 21, 2012
I enjoyed Super 8, but you gotta go Bridesmaids. Best. Movie. Ever.
jefu - January 21, 2012
Go Bridesmaids!
Warrior was a good movie IMO too but with a g/f after a rough Sixers loss… Go funny.
soman319 - January 21, 2012
She’ll like Bridesmaids.
You both may like Super 8.
Warrior? Nice try.
nyunole - January 21, 2012
Bridesmaids FTW
i love the movie, better than Hangover II by a landslide.
The Mad Hopper - January 21, 2012
For the love of god not Straw Dogs. I’d say Super 8, though it’s better on a big screen. Bridesmaids didn’t tickle me as much as it did the rest of the world but you’ll enjoy it.
Michael Levin - January 21, 2012
Straw Dogs was just as awful as the original movie.
soman319 - January 21, 2012
Melo ties up the game with a fade-away jumper while double-teamed.
Knicks 98 – Nuggets 98
PhiladelphiaEagles - January 21, 2012
Overtime.
PhiladelphiaEagles - January 21, 2012
Oh man he’s so clutch. Superstar.
jefu - January 21, 2012
That's what everyone will say
despite the fact he is 7-21 on the night
The Mad Hopper - January 21, 2012
The headlines will say something like, “Carmelo’s _(insert points) and clutch three carry Knicks past Nuggets in overtime.”
Or
“Nuggets narrowly escape past Knicks despite Carmelo’s _(insert points).”
jefu - January 21, 2012
meeks looked fast and brand showed some hustle — a few good blocks..
juggadore - January 21, 2012
Andre Miller just hit 30 foot shot in overtime. good christ
highwaterhello - January 21, 2012
Jinx
PhiladelphiaEagles - January 21, 2012
lol. I dont think his feet leave the floor when he shoots
highwaterhello - January 21, 2012
Andre Miller just hit a 28 foot 3 with the shot clock expiring.
PhiladelphiaEagles - January 21, 2012
Nine seconds left….Carmelo needs to be superstar clutch again…
jefu - January 21, 2012
Pretty clutch.
jefu - January 21, 2012
WOW.
Nuggets almost won.
soman319 - January 21, 2012
Does anyone else of Deron Williams on their fantasy team and wish he wasn’t averaging 37% FG’s and 4.3 TO’s?
jefu - January 21, 2012
Yeah, I do. It sucks. I’m getting more out of Marshon Brooks than I am out of Deron right now. Fortunately, he was my second round pick (my first was Dwight but I traded him for Pau Gasol, Iguodala and Javale McGee).
76ersloyal - January 23, 2012
Double OT now
PhiladelphiaEagles - January 21, 2012
Denver has only played 7 players! What happened to their depth?
philsfreak6 - January 21, 2012
Afflalo is injured and Birdman flew south for the winter.
jefu - January 21, 2012
is jrue regressing?
he has been playing at a subpar level for a good amount of the season. am i overreacting or does anyone else agree?
Tj Singh - January 21, 2012
He hasn’t looked good.
soman319 - January 21, 2012
He’s 21.
jefu - January 21, 2012
Melo's final stat line.
10-30 for 25 points and 6 TOs to 5 Assists.
Super. Star.
soman319 - January 21, 2012
“Melo’s 25 not enough to battle past Nuggets in 2OT.”
jefu - January 21, 2012
Official - Sixers still up 5 in the Atlantic
Nuggets 119 – Knicks 114
in 2OT.
PhiladelphiaEagles - January 21, 2012
Makes me realize that even though we can still get blown out by the Heat, our division lead seems pretty secure.
jefu - January 21, 2012
So whats the deal with Joe PA??
highwaterhello - January 21, 2012
He’s alive, but it seems his health is declining.
PhiladelphiaEagles - January 21, 2012
Gravely ill. Not dead. Yet. CBS has egg on their face for reporting he already was.
Justin F. - January 21, 2012
Eggwitness News.
Michael Levin - January 21, 2012
How long after Bear Bryant retirement did he pass?
tk76 - January 21, 2012
Not long. Paterno has even been quoted about worrying that he would go the same way Bryant did when he stopped coaching.
Ben16 - January 21, 2012
4 weeks actually.
Ben16 - January 21, 2012
Did anyone else find it a little odd that Spencer made the trip? I mean I know they don’t exactly fly Southwest but I thought it was weird they’d have a guy with a history of back issues who they knew wasn’t going to dress fly on a one game trip.
I too was phoning home for ET in the 3rd after his awesome 1st half.
pb111 - January 21, 2012
Apparently his back is much better and it was his achilles that’s been troubling him. He’s resting it off, which means he’s not playing. Travelling is fine.
jefu - January 21, 2012
Seriously, when ET gets hot, doug pulls him and sits him
everytime. So annoying
