Mortal Enemies: Mavs Moneyball

The defending NBA champions are in town, fellas. While they got off to a slow start, the Mavs have silently crept all the way back up and now sit as the 4th seed in the western conference. Brandan Wright and friends will look to extend their 5-game winning streak tonight against our Sixer boys who are 2-3 in their last 5 and have lost 2 straight home games, both to upper echelon teams in the West (the Spurs and Clippers). Check out the preview Mike did with SBN Dallas for some Mav fan perspective on their veteran-heavy squad.

Check out the game on ESPN but if you can't live without the Zumoff/Rose connection, don't worry, Comcast SportsNet will also have coverage.

Injury Update: Per usual, Spencer Hawes will be babysitting his luggage instead of playing tonight. The Mavericks will be without sixth-man Jason Terry (strained quad/personal), St. Joe's very own Delonte West (dislocated finger), and Rodrique "Roddy Buckets" Beaubois (personal).

Vegas Line: The line has been set at 3 in favor of the Sixers.

The Sixers are on national TV tonight? I see you like to stay up on your ESPN. If you're thinking Sixers win, you must have ESP then.

Shameless Plug

If you cannot watch on ESPN…watch it online on at ESPN3.com (watchESPN)

Why is this a shameless plug, do you work for ESPN?
Can you pass along messages telling them off for us?

I imagine we’re the only people to call them “Brandan Wright and friends”.

I predict that ET will go off tonight…

Dre's middle name is Tyler

Heat are up 20-2 on the Cavs with 5 minutes left in the 1st

Just for giggles the Mavs are 19-11 not 15-8.

Prove it.

Um….I don’t want to?

so what if I forgot to fix that when I copy/pasted from a different Game Thread!

Gee.. sure hope we win!

Yes we got Hubie Brown calling our game

Mike Tirico and Hubie Brown on ESPN.

ESPN – “Mavs banged up and depleted tonight” = win doesn’t count

“Philly’s problem is that they’re young and having no idea what they’re doing.” – Magic Johnson

Magic constantly hates on the Sixers. During the beginning of the season when we were 3rd in the east, he left us out of his “top 5 in the east”

Yeah Magic doesn't seem to be the greatest analyst

it’s true that they don’t know what they’re doing – they actually think they’re on a reality cooking show – Jodie makes a mean roasted duck

I don’t know what I’m doing either. This isn’t a Pinochle Blog?!?!

What does Orestes Sr think of OJ's roasted duck?

It’s hard to believe he said something so stupid and ignorant. The Sixers play the game the right way. Not Magic’s way, which could only work when you have a team loaded with players with specific skill sets. But the way most teams try to operate.

I used to think I liked the guy.

Douchebag analyst is what I think now.

Aids ridden immoral jackwagon.

he’s probably just regretting his younger days when he didn’t know what he was doing…and then he got….

too much?

Tom Moore lied! Vince Carter starting at SG, not Jones

Even though I get CSN, I am watching tonight on ESPN. I am a sucker for seeing my team on national TV when given the chance.

i’m actually completely the opposite – love my zumoff and malik

I love Zumoff and Malik as well, just like the national TV change of pace once in awhile. Also, I’m getting a slightly better picture on ESPN.

I’m up in Syracuse for work – watching on ESPN from the hotel room – wishing i could listen to Malik and Zu…

Grab me some cheap smokes from the reservation on the way down?

I’ll get you the expensive ones – got the company card!

ESPN is operating on an 8-second delay.

No delay online I think.

Can’t turn that over there.

Oh, is that what double-double means?

hahah right? dork.

Really beating the youth angle like a dead horse – c’mon Hubie, you’re better than that

The fans have no idea what that means. – Magic

J-Kidd just snagging rebounds away

Iguodala nails his first stepback. We’re doomed.

Lavoy outrebounded by everyone the possession.

Long twos aplenty!

Don’t like Marion posting up Jrue…

Really flat from Meeks.

ugh 9-0 run – Sixers not getting to the bucket

long 2’s for the win!

Isn’t it ironic how the Sixers talk about being lax on defending the long 2, since it’s not a good shot… yet they love to settle for long 2’s too often?

Just like 10,000 spoons when you need a knife.

Or like rain on your wedding day

What’s the deal with Crown Royal Black? Anyone try it?

We need to take it to the rim more
Our bench should kill theres though

Chips Allen is 1 of my fav six3rs

U guys hear theyre giving away pieces of Wilt Chamberlain tonight????

March 2nd – Mike wrote somethin about it a couple days ago

Pieces of Wilt Chamberlain?!

lol you think Hubie’s been reading LB lately – talkin bout the lack of FT shooting?

CHIPS ALLEN WITH THE HUSTLE!!

Bad shot Lavoy, good hustle to get the ball back.

nice hustle by Lavoy to tip to EB

Jodie rushed the bejesus outta that three

Anyone have an idea of why most of our players dont attack the rim?!

This has been killin me

Most of them can’t get inside. The Sixers have no big man to distract defenders or create space. Only a few of them can elevate in traffic.

This is wrong. All wrong.

Lavoy needs to not try to initiate anything.

Take what they’re giving you, Lavoy, there it is.

Anyone else see Andre carry??

Turner in the first!

I don’t believe, what I just saw…

Is that “Who Let The Dogs Out” playing in the background?

Yeah, the Baha Men are watching the game at my place. They won’t shut up though.

LOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU MUFBEASTMODEEE UHHHHHHHHHHHHH

ESPN LIKES HIM

I never get tired of this

What a bossy basket. Terrible.

Hubie just complimented Lou Williams. Michael just switched to CSN, right?

Was wondering the same thing

Boss – its an ESPN game, I got this sh

Hubie will talk his face off about how bad it is that Dirk takes fadeaway jumpers then Lou takes one, it goes in and he’s all chuckles about how he loves his game.

This, in a nutshell, is the problem with the national media.

he actually said it before the shot

Isn’t the pinnacle of Dirk’s game that turnaround fadeaway jumper? been shaking my head all quarter so far…

Great box out by Lavoy

VC can take that shot all day long.

Allen – hey ESPN, shove your ranking

brandon wright just dunked hard on us

Lavoy has been the EXACT same player he was at Temple. And at Temple he was EXACTLY the same player he was at Pennsbury HS. I don’t understand how he can go level to level and be the same level of solid. Bizarrely awesome.

I wonder how many dunks VC has missed in his career?

I don’t know but he picked a good game to add to that total.

Iggy & Thad nice 2 man game

Thad with the awkward smoothness.

it’s like me at the bar except you substitute “smoothness” with "conversation topics:

voooooooooooooooooooooo

Miss healthy Wight so much.

Turner endorsing the Long Two phenomenon.

Vuc

Thad turning garbage into gold

Shooters roll has liked us so far tonight.

Oh I thought Thad tipped it then Vuce

How did the Sixers not get that rebound??

This lack of rebounding is ridiculous

Keystone cops on d boards

Nice hands, Ev.

obvi just talking about how beautiful his hands are, not the tipped ball

He’s been moisturizing.

You can’t give them a second chance every time.

Dirk, way too easy.

there thad turned garbage into gold

Another Thad tip in.

Vuce confused by Vince Carter.

Nikola Vucevic – Space Guy

NEED A PHOTOSHOP IMMEDIATELY!

This is where I was going with this.

Tirico and Hube like a lot of Sixers things.

You guys have no idea how badly I want to see ET with the ball, taking it to the rim.

I can ballpark it.

If you go to espn.com we’re on the front page

smh

“Chance To Prove It”

I second the “smh”

Really?

…still?

What a splendid result for the 1st Q. Those vegas guys are pretty slick.

Is Hubie Brown senile?

He says something completely wrong every other sentence.

“We know the Sixers are a small team, the tallest guy on the floor for them is 6-9”- Says this 30 seconds after citing Vuce’s height at 7-0….

That was pretty dumb.

Lavoy already has 6pts & 6rebs

i’d do a lot of filthy things to get brandan wright

Hopefully none involve Merideth Markovits

dont be mean to poor meredith, its not her fault she’s tall

So close, boss, so close.

Jason Terry isn’t a distributor. The ESPN broadcast seems to think he is.

is BOSS at this point a better version of Jason Terry? he seems to be

I would say yes, absolutely.

coming from you that actually means quite a bit.

great look from Lou to Vooch

Vooch on the end of some beautiful passes

BALL MOVEMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THATS how you attack the lane. excellent.

Tic tac toe! Wow!

Awesome pass from Thad!

safe to say it’s the best pass i’ve ever seen him make

Sixers have a great possession there and first thing commentator says is “Great timeout there by Rick Carlisle”.

Hubie appreciates a good time out more than a good backdoor cut and pass.

that’s a go to favorite line of Hubie. He loves saying that. I don’t really understand it.

Now THAT

was some good movement.

this is basketball – Maliked

@tmoorepburbs Close
#Sixers Huge ovation for Ryan Howard as he’s shown on scoreboard. “It’s not me,” he mouths with a smile.
Get well soon Ryan

Seeing him go down on that last play was painful to see.

watching ESPN3

wish I was watching Zumoff and Malik

I wish Lin wasn’t on the Knicks. I want to like the kid, but he’s on the Knicks. Ugh.

Loving the play tonight,

but I dont know how much more of “The Hub” I can take.That being said, I think Mike Tirico is decent listen.

great save and pass from Lou – great take from Evan – GREAT!

ET with the strong take and finish.

AWESOME save by Lou

and finish by Evan!

I do appreciate a good ole tip it to the guard rebound

Lou is awful at trying to take charges

Thad’s gotta dunk that

If you’re going to foul him, foul him hard. C’mon.

Great block on Thad. Stuffed.

@dlynamCSN Close
Sixers have 14 assists on 15 field goals

Yahoo said 10 ast on 15 fgs

Young needed to not hesitate with that.

LOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU MUFBEASTMODEEE UHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Anyone see Kevin Love stomp on Scola's face?

That was awhile ago

interior d has been tough – helps that dallas doesn’t really go interior

Hubie getting another timeout hard on

Who made that outlet pass to Lou? Missed it.

Francisco Elson

cant tell if serious…

Honest mistake!

haha I actually laughed at this

You’re welcome. It’ll only cost you $5.

Two jokes in a row!

More rare than two made Dre FTs in a row?

Dre has been doing his best to make that not so rare so you’ll have to up your game!

Another great TO by Carlisle

Really?

more love for a Carlisle timeout?

So glad this game is on ESPN. I finally get to watch!

I hope ESPN has a Top 10 Greatest Timeouts!

#LuvYaBoss

YES TAKE IT TO THE HOOP

Si! Si! Very Intrigued!

makin those foul shots…

Carter just dominated ET there.

Et’s shot is so flat

He’s not getting his right hand under the ball enough.

Common problem

It’s totally because of lack of playing time.

needless to say ET's shot is not pretty

bust

thats a bold statement

…but I’ll get back to you on that later.

ET super flat.

Apparently someone in the crowd agreed

nobody can buy a bucket

Turner was fouled about 21 times on that possession.

and then they call a touchy foul on the sixers. just awful

Dallas looks like a deeply flawed team right here. Maybe Magic meant to say Dallas is old and senile and don’t know what they’re doing.

Has ET reverted to his old shot?

If I remember correctly ET’s came into the season with a better looking jumper, and it looks like he has reverted back to his older shot.

Herb Magee, where are you?

Agree with @FakeWIPCaller

NBA should be like wrestling- the Sixers beat the champs (the Mavs) they become the champs

Except they’re not the same team as last year.

100 pts on 63 shots. efficient?

Khloe hit a three!

Chips for 2!

Another great look from Dre to Lavoy.

love Malik saying Lavoy should stop settling and look to get the rim

Interesting pass from Andre.

These refs are letting the hard fouls go

Carter is looking pretty fierce these days…

Jrue with a terribly long two.

We should be up more than 10

It’s annoying to keep harping on it but until something changes, none of us are going to stop. The Sixers need to cut down on their long twos and go to the basket.

That, or at the least step out and take a three.

Rebounds continue to bounce off the Sixers faces.

terrible fast break

EB slammin off the break

DRE with the strip

What a swipe by Dre

Wow – EB with a dunk!

That was early 2000’s “Brandesque”

Been a while since we’ve seen an EB dunk.

Good to see him being lively. This is why they brought him here.

Oh, this is why they brought him here.

hate to give credit to the ESPN announcers

but they basically explained why Iguodala>BOSS

Has DC made them conservative at going to the rim?

Active hands – nice!

Timeout Sixers. Doug gets to draw up a play. Who is ready for a Lou Williams iso?

I really love that timeout by Doug. A really smart, a really great, well-timed timeout. Great job.

hey guys

Anyone else using lou in words to combat the lin things….

Its loupendous

I just went to the bathroom and made loudies.

Nik has played very well so far.

Doug ran something other than a Boss iso? :o

lol that Space Guy pic of Vuce is great.

Wait – not Boss?

wow look at that mustache behind Cuban!

Sixers have met Dallas’ challenge and doubled- down with quick hands and strong D.

Random fast food news half-time update:

ESPN showed a commercial for this tonight… jerks.

Doritos Locos Tacos from Taco Bell!

read something about this earlier today – genius

Doesn’t really thrill me, but I guess I’d give it a try.

have you covered the Doritos taco from Taco Bell yet?

That’s what this is.

wow, i need to pay more attention

True story: Just had taco bell.

Nice, what’d you get?

So I just found out that Jeremy freaking Lin rookie cards that were selling for $10 a month ago are now selling more then MJ rookie cards

people still buy cards?

That's actually what I thought when I read it

I got Jacqueline a Jeremy Lin card for Valentine’s Day. All the others didn’t sound ethnic enough for our relationship.

I thought you guys were all about Eastern European culture? Why the switch?!?!?!

Naw that was just a phad.

Check out these links that a Ducks writer showed me

Link 1

Link 2

I have cards from when I was a kid. i have cards from when my dad was a kid. None of them would sell for the amount that first one is selling for. I’m going to go smash something(s)

Knicks fans are really desperate, for something, anything to cheer about.

Sixers had 7 steals in the half, Dallas 0.

ESPN’s reason why the Mavs are losing

1) No Jason Terry
2) No Delonte West
3) Sixers are lucky
4) Rod Thorn paid off the refs
5) Mark Cuban forgot to sacrifice a peacock to the sun god Hathor
.
.
.
100) Sixers are good

If you were watching closely during the 2nd official’s timeout, you would have seen that #5 actually happened.

14 assists – 1 turnover

Jeremy Lin has 4 assists & 8 LINovers

I know Knicks fans are fawning all over this guy, I’m sick of it.

Well

It’s not like they didn’t know who he was more than 10 days ago.

Oh wait..

Trade Carmelo, Lin is gonna lead them to 8 straight championships

Sisqo is a great cheerleader – someone needed to take over for Speezy

Ah, that’s why they got him!

Hey folks!

How’s everyone’s friday night?

Howdy! Enjoying the game but tons of work to do afterwards and during halftime.

Great. The sixers on are national tv so I get to see them and Gold Rush is on.

My brother nuts over this show but I just don’t get it. I mean it get it, but I just don’t get it.

I think it is just the suspense to see whether or not they get gold out and how much. I watch because I love the heavy equipment. It makes me want to go buy a bull dozer and go wreck something.

http://www.digthis.info/Las-Vegas-digthis-location.htm

The cursor on that site can keep my occupied for a couple hours…

I was just thinking how I hadn’t seen an animated cursor since the early GeoCities days of the web.

Wow GeoCities. That’s old school. Remember angelfire?

I do – my eyes twitched painfully in remembrance.

I had a page – can’t remember what I made one for though..

If I had the money that would be awesome

Better, now that you’re here.

::creepy awkward silence::

“Jeremy Lin is playing bad because he’s tired from the press, new friends, new cousins, and from talking to people. This is why he’s playing bad tonight.” – basically what Magic Johnson just said

Was typing that when I saw you post this. Magic needs to lay off the pills

At least he said a better reason shortly thereafter.

ESPN is full of s***

They spend the entire halftime show covering an awful knicks-hornets game/ Jeremy Lin turnover reel and dont cover a second of the actual game they’re airing. Its truly despicable.

I completely agree, they also covered the Heat game

Nothing else matters. The NBA sell stars to the public. The broadcasters sell the public to advertisers. The advertisers use star power to turn around and sell their products to the public.

#KobeSystem

Dominate fashion

OT:

Did you know that the Flyers new defenseman is one of the only jews in the NHL?

No, but I don’t think it surprised me.

A Jewish hockey player? What will they think of next?

I don’t know how to read this.

Love that Malik just called Lavoy’s corner spot “Allentown”

FROM SALISBURY HIGH SCHOOL…….

I wish I went to Emaus so we could be rivals but secretly in love. Like Romeo and Juliet, only less death.

that’s where Derek went!

less death, more masquerade balls

More apothecaries.

I think of steak when I hear that

i think of you whenever i hear steak

I hope you use A1

ESPN halftime host just said the Sixers are out to prove they are for real. Uh, that was proven a long time ago.

No no no, we haven’t beaten anyone yet.

From ESPN.com homepage

“Chance To Prove It

Is Philly a real threat? The defending champs provide the latest challenge."

:-o

Sixers 10-10 from the line in the first half. say what?

Do you guys know why the National guys sit down low but the local tv guys sit high? It gets annoying every game listening to the opposing teams announcers complain about being up high

Dirk’s had that shot all night – finally hit one

Only the 2nd turnover of the game?

No, Dre

I thought of this:

No Dre, No!

Probably more appropriate for Boss.

Jodie on VC is not good

Vince Carter makes so much noise…

A foul on LaVoy? Looked like Dirk threw himself into him.

Basket – 6th man of the night for the Sixers.

What the hell is happening? Freaking globetrotter game

How is there not a foul there?

Because we are the Sixers :)

Jrue not beat up

Can we get some freaking offense going?

nice cut by ET, nice find by Lavoy

There we go, good look Lavoy.

nice find by mr 500

Lavoy aka The Sniper

Like ET moving without the ball.

How was that not a foul christ

Kid almost took off Iggy’s arm

Probably not a good idea to leave Dirk wide open for 3, js

Had enough time to roll out the rack from the 3 point contest for Dirk there.

The refs have swallowed their whistles tonight

I hate how excited the announcers sound about the Mavericks coming back.

They just want to see an exciting game.

Yeah I don’t mind it much.

Sixers have come out way too flat to start this 3Q.

Also, they have no idea what they’re doing.

I dislike these ESPN announcers.

Their bias is pathetic, isn’t it?

These long two’s are getting out of hand

and its a 2 point game

Turner played great D there too.

Yeah, can’t do anything there.

That was really good Haywood.

It’s like no one wants to play offense.

Well, Dirk is on fire

Time out doug call a time out

Has ET made a jumper tonight?

haven’t watched enough but I haven’t seen one.

this is unbelievable.

oh my god this is stupid

And now it’ll be the boss show.

“Hey Boss what are we gonna do today?”
“The same thing we do everyday Dougie.”

Try to take over the world!

It’s Dougie, It’s Dougie and the Boss Boss Boss Boss BOSS

4 turnovers this half after only 1 in the first

The just in Evan turner can’t shoot and don’t expect him to magically learn anytime soon

4 points in the first 8.5 minutes!

Vuce with a long two, but it falls. Still a terrible shot.

Hubie freaking loves timeouts.

Stop the run? what run?

Alright, I officially detest Hubie Brown

we just love Zumoff and Malik.

I don't remember him being this bad when I've listened to him in the past

He’s really not bad at all. I feel like everyone just hates because he’s not as pro-sixer as Zu and Malik obv are.

If you look above earlier in the thread I was excited that I got Hubie plus I don't get Sixer broadcasts

Our best quarter usually hasn’t been good for us lately

Its been 3QC-esque.

What is going on with our guys, This is ABSURD!

Meeks needs to really step it up

bad shots all around

We don’t need Lou Williams to get hot. Good lord, nat’l media

Nice Thad

Thad with some more awkward smoothness.

Meeks is really good.

I love how Dominique Jones is playing – taking it to the rack all day

Rack City!

10, 10, 2 20’s and a 50, bitch.

But Meredith is on the sideline

Have to watch out for that trap, Boss.

he was fouled at least 3 times

What are these refs looking at

If Im not mistaken a ball of the shin is still considered a kick ball??

Lou doin his best to make sure none of his passes touch a sixer player

Important, to be sure.

You would think Doug would take Lou out of the game

Dougie C tonight.

such a bad quarter – ugh

Soooooooooooooo Bossy

then he does that

lol is was this quarter real?

well, that quarter sucked

Why not a 3

bc that would be more efficient.

The Sixers usually do great in the 3Q… that was such crap.

They havent had a good 3Q in several games, i think its been almost two weeks

8 points does not meet Ricko’s standards.

One point short in the second quarter as well

That would be acceptable for the OTHER team.

Boss getting a lot of nat'l love tonight.

You think he’s gonna drop an album and making another mil?

he’s gotta get laid again

Only once though.

for every mil

Even Steven Hawking could manage to get laid multiple times with a million bucks!

He doesn’t need to drop an album to do that. the North Philly honeys love sweet lou

Try to crossover, stumble backwards, shoot an off balance long two, basket’s good. Yup

lolol dougie. – shut up heather and let me coach.

Doug doesn't like those in between quarter interviews I assume

He’s a hall of famer.

6 TO’s that past quarter – 1 already in the 4th

I’m confused. How is Doug not the Brain in a Pinky&Brain scenario?

Lamar Odom sighting?

Stop Jacking up Threes Lou!

with numbers, on a break, Lou takes a pull up 3

National spotlight getting to his head

This team is frustrating.
we can't buy a bucket

This offense just cannot score

ET’s lost/hesitant

Confidence level. I want to make this point on a fanpost but he’s deferring a lot to Lou Williams. That aggressiveness isn’t there.

fighting back tho

I like how Thad has gotten fairly decent at D to the point that I’m not terrified of him on Dirk.

Nice look Jrue!

Nice pass Jrue.

Nice roll from Vuce!

at least the third or fourth time he’s gotten that look tonight

I’m bonkers about that play.

and he finished

I like the VUCE!

Player A: 16 pts 8 reb 1 ast 0 stl 0 blk

Player B: 16 pts 7 reb 0 ast 1 stl 1 blk

i see where you’re going with this…

Dirk is 7-17
Vuce is 7-8…

Player A = Keith Van Horn

Player B = Bimbo Coles

...down the road?

Wtf Jrue?

Hate hate hate.

When theres shots like that there should be a cussing exception

Ugly jumpers all night long!

weoifeoqrngoqwejngoqierjgqerngrgoqenr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I feel like ET hasn’t hit a jumper all night

well, he’s 2 of 10 and both FGs were at the basket so I believe you’re feeling is correct

He hasn’t. So flat.

We need to teach our players to flail.
lol i like that Spawes is a "big threat"

lou takes it inside but jumps away from the basket and misses terribly – ugh

This is not a pretty game by any means.

Not looking good.

Khloe got that call

yea it was pretty much a horrible call

This game is making me hate Hubie Brown.

I really miss the first half of this game.

Finish or draw contact, guys.

Slipping away

Three’s not going in. Just keep chucking though.

Everyone’s got a Boss mentality tonight.

Hubie Brown is right.

I really hate to say it but I agree

What’d he say?

Stop taking long/low-percentage shots. Attack the basket.

When did the sixers hire Eric Snow as their shooting coach?

Come on guys – get it together

this is why you don’t settle for jumpers all game – will someone learn?

1-12 on threes. Let’s keep taking them!

And like 3-14 on long two’s!

This game seems like it is over.

Yi's on the Mavs?

Remember when Billy King was desperate to get him when we drafted Thad

@dlynamCSN Close
The Sixers are 6-31 in the second half in the second half with 7 minutes to play they trail by 6

All shots are away from the basket. This is ignorant.

Is Doug foaming at the mouth? What the hell is going on with these guys?

There’s no good reason why we couldn’t have won this game. So frustrating.

I’ve never seen such a Jekyll and Hyde performance.

This is hyperbole.

Scoring 8 points in 12 min. deserves hyperbole.

This half court set is brutal.

There’s a half-court set?

Garbage successfully converted

That was more like Radioactive Waste to Gold

Nice on Thad but where’s the foul for Lou?

Keep doing that Jrue.

Did Jrue just go to the basket and draw a foul?

Good time to start driving to the basket

That wasn’t a foul, they were jostling for position.

Don’t agree with that whistle on Thad.

I want to complain about refs so badly and how it’s so onesided against high profile teams but…that’s not the reason why we’re losing.

3rd time Thad got hit with a foul that wasn’t a foul

Holliday really has been sucking the big one the last few games. We sort of depend on him.

Terrible shot from Lou. Worse foul on Marion.

Gotta give credit to Hubie for his quote on Philly basketball fans

What the hell was that shot Lou?

Can't stop Dirk.

Good defense Thad.

Getting Bossy out there

Risk-Reward with Lou Williams. I want to see the stats on his performance on “competitive” teams.

Our starters are terrible tonight. Only Lavoy and Brand are doing anything good.

This game is getting close to being over.

OT: Mike Lombardi is an idiot

You wouldn’t take Pau?

He wants Chris Kaman

Didn’t see that one. Yeah that’s dumb

oh. my. dear. god.

And Jrue, let’s just take more dribble-three’s.

i dont even think it was a three. had a foot on the line.

Wait....

Did Hubie just say that they wouldn’t get calls?

TAKE THE BALL TO THE BASKET.

Walk?

Superstars are allowed to take 4+ steps

once again, not a foul – i’ll wait for final decision if they show a replay

Such a wasted opportunity. Can’t believe we lost this game.

was thinking the same thing

Dre with another really inefficient offensive night.

Iggy, Jrue, Jodie and Evan a combined … 4-for-30

Lou at 4-14 is hardly stellar.

Where’s the guy who said the Sixers will never have cold shooting streaks because they have so much depth? I’d love to talk to him.

That was me. I’m flumoxed.

I actually don’t think it was, but I appreciate you stepping forward. I remember everything you’ve ever said.

And that’s the game.

Jeremy Lin already gets more foul calls than any Sixer

it's frustrating.

it’s the one thing I hate about the NBA…when you play a team with superstars, you simply don’t get any calls….as if they need any help
