Wow, a team that gets to the line less than us? I’m in heaven….

andyreidswaistline - January 27, 2012 reply

Jrue not happy with bobble head.

Jrue not happy with not getting to the line and settling for long twos.

take nothing for granted

no way the Sixers should have lost to the Nets

It happens – i was sick after the game too but brush it off and use tonight to build some confidence going into the next couple games. Go Sixers!

dp - January 27, 2012 via mobile reply

It was a bad loss, but I think it was good for the Sixers to remind them of their vulnerability. A few of their players had very bad games, and Iguodala in particular has been very off in his scoring.

This team is capable of playing very well and then coming up with a real stinker. Injuries aside, they should be able to overcome a team like the Nets with effort.

In honor of Will Smith...

Where's Carlton :(

ICE CUBE’S GOOD DAY WAS JANUARY 20, 1992!!!!

That was a gross break

that was a dumb turnover :(

Jrue trying to be too flashy.

Nikk.m - January 27, 2012 reply

Teamwork!

That would have been a sick dunk by Iggy

Nikk.m - January 27, 2012 reply

lots of yuck faces so far.

making the Pusha-T “yuck” sound

that’s lavoy’s shot right there

nice and far from the hoop, too.

don't relent

I was really hoping to not see lou and meeks together tongiht.

great backcourt duo

an 8-point lead, not bad

those bobbleheads are silly tiny

How come Doug Collins

has a McDonald’s bobblehead?

haha boss trying to posterize people

m22ks +1

Meeks the assassin!

modie jeeks!

Lou!

Ughh that was terrible Lou

Howdy All

How are the Sixers looking?

We really need Fro-zone to get some burn if we want to get back in it.

Fro-zone? That would be Incredible to see.

hi guys. what are our weekend plans?

get [messed] up

Nothing special this weekend.

Completing a lesson plan that will be taught on Monday.

Sweet Lou!

I prefer when the sixers pass the ball to each other.

MUST ISO!

must pass ball to vacant spots on the court, too.

I know he’s scoring but I hate watching the boss right now

Boss.

Lou in the paint!

haha that was so boss.

I can hear the sixers’ anthem.

Thad should really never take that shot. Nice play by Allen saving it to Thad

Damn Boss! Playing a little d

Thad and Lavoy!

is this a law firm?

So much boss

Nice Lou!

can’t handle this much boss. ab

So this is what it’s like getting o boards!

Wow, we missed an ejection.

silly silas

(title)

Don’t like Jrue shooting there. Had numbers, move the ball or reset.

yeah that was bad.

Good pg would of found somebody there

yeah Jrue sucks.

Didn’t mean that but I’d like to see him become a better passer

Paul Silas' son

looks like a 15-year-old!

he’s 16.

that's awesome!

one time Israel had an 8-year-old king named Josiah, so it’s nice seeing a 16-year-old NBA coach

Quit being fancy EB

Nikk.m - January 27, 2012 reply

What a hook shot by Diaw.

50 points till Big Macs.

And the loudest cheer of the night.

Adamnb87 - January 27, 2012 reply

Tic-Tac-Toe.

Nice.

Marvelous movement!

passing against bad defensive teams usually = wins

10 of 12 shooting for Charlotte in the quarter

that speaks volumes for how terrible they were in the 1st

I’m guessing that the 32 points this quarter makes up for not scoring 25 in the 1st.

The Philly 5 Hall of Fame

what an honor!

TOAC – Taking On All Challengers

So this game isn’t very close.

Wow Bobcats are terrible

I fell asleep much longer than I planned to. This looks fun!

GRADING PAPERZ?!

Not yet. Fortunately.

nice, Jrue.

an outstanding half

I hope you guys get Big Macs today!

White Castle Microwavable Hamburgers are actually not that bad?

Random fast food news half-time update:

No, they aren’t. But I like my home-made taco’s better. A lot better.

It's gonna be really sad when Kba leads the comeback...

Clint Eastwood - January 27, 2012 via mobile reply

Just so you guys know, I’ve got some people who aren’t huge fans of mine.

Nothing quite like having a personal troll named Dix E. Normus, amirite?

Personal trolls are like personal assistants only the opposite, right?

I take it their referring to Lavoy Allen? One mediocre half against the Bobcats has them convinced..

They’re friends with him, I do believe.

lol pretty funny other tweets about the game from that guy

Dix E Normus!

he’s my fav

he told me to tell him when i go to a game so we can meet – then he called me name that isn’t mine and i’m sure isn’t anyone elses

Wait he barked at you also! I thought it was just me and Jordan! NOW HE’S CROSSED THE LINE. I haven’t responded to them, it seems like a completely worthless venture.

That5 just proves you’ve arrived!

That means a lot Ricko. I love you.

That’s cool, just don’t get all mushy. I don’t swing that way!

if it’s Mike, you make an exception!

I’ll do almost anything for love, but I won’t do that!

TANNER WHAT ARE YOU DOING TONIGHT DO YOU WANNA COME OVER I’M ONLY LIKE 3,000 MILES AWAY NO PROBLEM

I’LL BE THERE!!!! GET THE 40S OUT AND READY! AND BY 40S I MEAN 40 YEAR OLD MEN WITH CURLY MUSTACHES!

ROHAN FITS THAT DESCRIPTION, HE LIVES IN INGLEWOOD (UP TO NO GOOD) AND ALSO SPEAKS IN CAPS

twitter just done did changed on me

It changed on me the other day

Would like a significant amount of Evan Turner in the second half.

si si very intrigued

He’s really growing on me. I like his aggressiveness taking it to the rack, and the way he takes contact and still makes the shot.

Nice take by Jrue.

very nice.

Nice block by Thomas there.

Nice take Jrue, now come sit down for a while.

better yet, sit on my lap

if only it was Brand five years ago.

sixers doing their best “let’s try to give some of this lead up” impression.

I love impressions!

Spencer Hawes rockin the cardigan. I like it

It’s pretty criminal how little we’ve seen of Biyombo. Why are the Bobcats so inept at at least playing the right players?

Don’t question beautiful things.

Sorry, that must have been the LSD talking.

You have a point but when he was out there he looked somewhat lost out there however they’ve already lost this game so they should have him play the rest of this game

He’s gotta work through that stuff. Terrible teams should play their best young players so they can get better. Not playing them will not make them better.

Is it just me or did it get cold in here?

My vest is getting a little tight. Which begs the question: why am I wearing a vest?

sweater vest?

pants vest

mmmmm i should’ve known

I’d like this 7-0 Charlotte run to stop. Preferably very soon.

Good D by Thad but we have to rebound.

REBOUND!!!

People keep on talking about our bad attendance but the only two good teams that we’ve played at home are the Nuggets & Hawks right? Other then that we’ve faced bottom feeders once we face better teams I think it will pick up

i’m going on wednesday when they play the bulls

Cool...

I’m excited for the Bulls game, we won the season series last year but they added Rip Hamilton but in a way we added Evan Turner(he didn’t play that much against the Bulls last year)

pacers

Well, here’s something they’re hanging their hats on.

Exactly

Everyone I know that bought tickets is going to the “big” games. The bulls, thunder, magic, heat, etc.

Clint Eastwood - January 27, 2012 via mobile reply

Hey now, I think I just saw some offense.

you go get’em young fella! Drop those long jumpers!

LAVOYS DA BEST YA HEARD #BAGGINS

Raise your internet hand if you think the Sixers could beat the Bobcats with 4 players out there.

Also, I have irrational love for Derrick Brown.

it’s very rational to me sweetie

I like Lavoy’s hustle. I don’t like these iso’s.

When you look up iso in the dictionary, there would be a picture of Boss, but he is too busy bossing,

Dumb.

Bismack layup: drool.

LOB CITY GUYS!

YES SIR

not iguodala’s game tonight offensively. Hasn’t been for a while now.

DR3!!!

DR3!

So do you think McDonalds is regretting that 100 point Big Mac promotion?

Maybe a tad?

Doubtful, people would still buy other stuff if they go there – plus big macs cost about 12 cents to make.

Not only that, it’s mostly free advertising for them too.

That’s true. I doubt they figured they’d be giving away as many as they have so far, though.

Dre’s 3pt percentage still hanging around 37. If it can stay above 35, I’m a happy person.

just as I say that he hits a contested three.

Sixers didn’t score 25 that quarter. I consider this a loss.

Me too.

Do we get a FroZone sighting?

probably if they push it to 30 with 5 to go.

If we do, everybody takes shots. Even the pregnant women and infants we have on the blog.

Boston has no business playing this well.

I still think they win the division.

They be old. Fork them.

me too. How far can they realistically go with an aging tandem of Pierce and Garnett playing with a chip on their shoulder.

Them & New York aren't helping my prediction that they finish 3rd but the Sixers are helping my prediction that we finish 1st

what happened to ET? is he injured or just not needed this game?

tC - January 27, 2012 reply

you mean the guy playing right now with the #12 on his back?

i see it on his belly!

you of all people would.

WHAT’S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN HUH????

notice the all-caps… means i said it with attitude/volume

made me hide under my keyboard.

Turner’s taken exactly zero shots this game. Thanks Doug!

all apart of his evil plan.

Sloppy basketball by both sides.

Yeah, we will never get Big Macs this way >=/

sixers aren’t playing for bic macs. They’re playing for bi-smacks.

And they pull within 19

Stephen Silas sort of reminds me of Jamie Foxx.

NoceOne is having a joygasm

hey spencer’s on the floor!

Shooter’s roll for ET.

ET

I love it when Andres Nocioni takes it hard.

how do you say pillow biter in spanish?

Turner gets every defensive rebound.

Turner with the shooter’s roll. Nice.

Sixers up 238742957834 points with 8 to go.

sixers up 10, 9, 8, 76ers.

If I wrote a fanpost about the Oscars would people read it/like it/comment on it?

Yes

That’s one!

I would flag it.

haha

That’s one!

I try to read everything that’s written. So yes.

In the world? That’s gotta be tough on your sleep.

he’s already half-way there, too!

I actually meant that I have very poor reading comprehension skills so it’s a struggle, but I try my best!

Will there be lots of pictures?

Oh that’s better then!

andyreidswaistline - January 27, 2012 reply

I read over 500 words on Francisco Elson today. Go nuts.

<3

probably the best point made yet!

love you for it!

absotootly

although the only ones i’ve seen are moneyball and midnight in paris

Absolutely

though I am pissed about the best picture nominations

mmmmm. You’ll enjoy yourself then.

I've seen all of them

except Extremely Loud…. Watching it tomorrow afternoon.

I didn’t think Tree of Life, The Descendants, or The Artist were that great

I'll read anything by Mike Levin but I might ditch the Oscars this year since they screwed The Deathly Hallows Part 2

Love this garbage time for Turner.

LaVoy needs 2 points & 3 rebounds for a double double

Should of listened to Dix E. Normus.

he’s more of a prophet, less of a twitter-master

SHOULD OF DRAFTED VOY IN FIRST ROUND

NoceOne just orgasm’d.

Is it just me or whenever he shows up wanting Noce to play he doesn’t & when he doesn’t show up during blowouts Noce does play

Quantum entanglement?

maybe noceone is noce?

great point

They have never been seen together…..

So he only post up on the bench?

Maybe I'm jinxing him...

thanks for that!

I do what I can :)

FROZONE

SHOTS FOR CISCO!

Frozone!

Also: Brackins!

Starting to hate Collins' coaching on Turner

He’s supposed to be our future, yet hes nailed on the bench. Hes gonna get a tad over 20 minutes tonight. Unacceptable.

Gosu44 - January 27, 2012 reply

He’s not playing very well.

Of course he’s not going to play well when hes getting erratic minutes from one night to the next. He’s ALWAYS pulled from the game when he gets hot by Doug.

Gosu44 - January 27, 2012 reply

Only starting? I’ve been hating Collins` coaching on Turner before it was cool /Hipster Twister

I wonder if Malik Rose is the only analyst to tweet during games?

RELEASE THE KRAKEN!!!!

Earlier, they reported that Elson had trouble finding his uniform. Glad to see he eventually got it.

Were the Sixers told by McDonald’s not to get over 100 tonight?

these last few minutes are like pulling teeth. Ugh.

Would you believe me if I told you the Knicks were only down 5 & amar’e had 0 points?

Yes.
Disclaimer: I just checked the score a second before you posted this.

Just saw that myself.

Zumoff did not like that graveyard shift comment from malik

Someone tweeted that comment to him anyway. He needs to give credit to his followers

btw, this game is still very interesting for anyone who bet on it

That shot was in honor of Speezy

lol

BRACKENS block

Turners half spin is so sexy!

IAMTHEJRUTH - January 27, 2012 via mobile reply

yay they scored!

Cisco missed! THE HORROR

Noce wanted that AND1

I wanted that AND 1 for Noce and NoceOne.

If the Sixers were currently existing superheroes who would they be?

Fantastic Four reboot.

With Lou Williams as the human torch?

I’m trying to think of superheroes who seem like they’re powerful, but somehow you still feel like the villains might kick their butts at any given time.

Sixers are up 1 with a 16-point spread. Here we go, folks.

Sixers cover!

THEY COVER AGAIN!
