Star-divide

Bullet points!

  • Elton Brand will miss the final two games before the All-Star break. Andres Nocioni will start along with Lavoy Allen in the front court. ANDRES NOCIONI AND LAVOY ALLEN
  • Mo Speezy makes his return against Doug Collins. He's actually playing decent.
  • The Grizzlies are best in the league in forcing turnovers. The Sixers are best in the league in taking care of the ball. Something has to give.
  • Other than turnovers, the Sixers need to keep the Grizzlies off the offensive glass, where they are 4th best in the league.
  • Lavoy and Vucevic are going to have a tall order to fill covering Marc Gasol in the post.
Prediction: Grizzlies 95, Sixers 88

I don't have a good feeling just for the fact that Noce is starting
ARE YOU READY!

Noccioni is the Jeremy Lin of Power Forwards

He just needed a chance to start. 25 and 10 tonight. BOOK IT.

NOCE PREDICTION!

How many minutes will he play?

I vote 7 minutes, 12 seconds.

I vote Gasol knocks him out with a haymaker so that means Gasol can’t play & Noce can’t either since he’d be unconscious

I vote 23 seconds.

I just thought of something why the hell isn't Battie starting?

He kissed Doug’s wife.

he also admitted to having wet dreams about her.

Well let’s not hold that against him.

Ugh, I have a sick feeling to my stomach.

Ok, I just pooped it out. All better. Go Noce!!!

You just took a Noce?

Just noce’d out an expiring contract.

Guess we can forget about ever having Oden as our starting center. I feel bad for him

me too. that guy had serious upside.

You hate to see injuries end someone’s career. Especially the same injury 3 times to a 24 yr old with so much talent

One might call his upside ridiculous.

well then, there’s a certain blog that needs to have some posts written about him…NOW!

LB!

I was thinking BGN or TGP, but that works, too.

At least we have one thing in common with the Russell-era Celtics

the height of our starting lineup…

guys, relax, doug knows what he’s doing. Noce iso plays as the shot clock winds down to end each quarter.

my boy ET gona drop a 50 burger tonight, just watch

five turnovers, five personal fouls, five rebounds, and 35 burgers.

I’ll take the burgers.

Memphis commentators are already writing down a triple double for Gasol

over/under on stupid charges Speights tries to take?

5

over/under on all time favorite naps Speights tries to take during the game?

Not in Philly anymore. He may just get the calls. 7

The Grizzlies announcer just said the Sixers didn’t make the playoffs last year.

What just transpired between collins and speights:

Collins – “Idiot says what?”
Speights – “What?”

Oh boy. Speights going inside against Noce.

Ugh oh Speezy is going to own us tonight and Ricko is going to tell us we were all dumb for doubting him.

this is true, and then he’ll go on to get five points on 2/10 shooting the next game.

oh snap, noce with the…..oh wait

nice assist jrue

nice stop there.

Revenge of Speezy
I wish Mo would of done that when he was with us

Jodie Meeks driving past Tony Allen and getting to the FT line. Now that was unexpected.

see what happens when you drive to the rim, sixers?

This Grizzlies announcer has an annoying voice

sixers aren’t a good there piotn shooting team this year, which is different from other seasons so sayeth well-informed grizzlies commentator.

according to him the team is shooting 29% this year from three….???

Them’s some accurate numbers.

Like, Noce already has taken two shots. He’s going to make the most of this terrible opportunity.

One of those shots was a wide open layup. I don’t mind him taking those shots.

That last one, on the other hand…

These Grizzlies announcers actually know NOTHING about the Sixers.

not a thing.

they are pretty clueless it seems

Jrue needs to create more contact.

desperately.

good christ.

/jumping to conclusions

can we do anything to stop this bleeding?

WHERE ARE YOU (D)WIGHT?

Thad Young with a fall away jumper…. niceeeeee

I feel like I’m actually going to throw up

Jrue drives – YAY. Thad jumper – BOO.

You know what should get us back in this game, taking jump shots.

Good lord.

Bring in Evan Turner.

Quincy Pondexter!

I hate Pondexter he was a Husky

Gasol looks like Wilt Chamberlain out there.

my gag reflex just stopped working….uh oh.

Jrue Holiday doubles off OJ Mayo who has a WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDE open look for 3

we’re getting stomped because the grizzlies are playing really good defense…that’s the reason why.

Oh my god

This team looks awful in standard definition.

This team is already on All-Star break

What an awesome start for the Sixers…

I don’t even know what to watch. Do I want to be disappointed by the Sixers or the Flyers tonight?

Griz announcers taking more unnecessary jabs at the Sixers as a franchise.
....

Because the Grizzlies have accomplished a lot in their existence?… 0 everything.

Exactly. At least Bryant Reeves was never our best player! Take that!

yeah why not. Kick’em while you’re down.

This is on par with the Dallas 3rd Quarter.

hey, hey now. They might get nine points.

Doug Collins needs to own this

ok now I just vomited and shat my pants at the same time.

When we’re down 17, it’s an insurmountable lead. When we’re up 17, we going on a scoring drought for 2 quarters

Who can say Downward Spiral in Argentinian?!

No whistles again.....

I’d be annoyed but this is nothing new

Doug said Hold the Mayo!

you don’t see 20 point deficits in the first quarter very often.

Well at least everything’s a foul on the Sixers. That’s helping!

memphis doesn’t foul at all. only the sixers foul.

Throw in the damn towel man!

they did before tip-off.

They just called ET Thad

HEY A FOUL! CELEBRATE WITH YOUR FAVORITE VEGETABLE!

hey suckin balls and missing foul shots at the same time!

Asparagus!

Just kidding. Asparagus sucks. It makes your pee stink, which really ruins one of my favorite activities for me.

(...)

Haha

I forgot pizza’s a vegetable now!

Sixers are dead last in FTA this season.

If you’re gonna suck – be the best at it

Time to make that stat 9-1.

At this rate we will be beaten by 80 points

that’s about right.

I guess the brightside to this slump is that we’ll get a better draft pick

NEW #MISSION??

Pump those breaks, my heart can’t take this yingyanging

I’m not saying tank but I think we’ll have a pick closer to 20 now after this

I hear this incoming class has some nice, slow, unathletic, soft center who can really stretch the floor!

I’m salivating…

awkward.
Sorry

I should probably talk to my doctor or something.

WHY PLAY OFF DANTE CUNNINGHAM HE HAS NO FIRST STEP

Turner fouled, no call, whatevs.

pathetic. he was hacked badly on that.

Just turned on the game.. good to see theyre giving an A+ effort :)

Why was Dre called for a T

because they’re losing by a lot, so they must suck, so the refs give them no love.

No Iggy got a T b/c he’s a coward

tru dat yo!

Overpaid…. doesn’t score 20ppg….thinks he’s kobe bryant

taking minutes from Lou somehow!

This game is giving me serious CAPSitis.

Keystone cops on the D boards – ugh

These refs have to be high off their faces.

....ughhhhh refs

let’s do that some more, speights.

Lou just took the worst shot you can take both feet on the line
dr3

fir3d up

Shenanigans!

That wasn’t a 3 pointer!

? Did i say it wuz?

but but but...

you said Dr3! 3’s for E’s and that wasn’t a 3!

indeed it was not a 3… ?

This gave me a tumor.

ikr lol wtf is he talkin gabout

Oh got it’s malignant.

I had a stroke/heart attack/kidney failure.

hahahah

i’m not gonna lie, I’m actual laughing out loud from the hilarity of this gamethread

dr3 = dre for three, so yes.

df3=dre for 3

you value intelligence.

Dre with the putback

I want ONLY LONG TWOS

Words cannot describe how much I hate long two’s from tha BOSS.

nice pass to a Thad botched finish…great put-back.

Just tuned in, this as bad as it looks like it’s been?

it was worse, actually.

Noce.

I’m guess that went as well as everyone outside the Collins’ family expected it too?

This ain’t chocolate…it’s doo doo baby

Dre says get that outta my house

Why are the Sixers touring a Civil Rights museum and not practicing FT’s?

/Tony from MayFair – WIP’d

chips allen is a beast

Wait, didn’t your name used to be different?

New School Chevy and/or Chips

yeah that was before Lou became MVP.

Grizz announcer

just said “it’s not rocket surgery”…

One of my favorite phrases.

One of these days, it’s going to be rocket surgery.

loUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
oh gawd, seriously?

we’re down 14 and it was a pass. simmer down young fella

Evan Turner gets every rebound on a team that’s pretty terrible at rebounding, but let’s start Noce over him. He’s cagey.

And an experienced veteran.

OK

time to yank Turner. He’s doing too well tonight.

this is making me dizzy.

“better get him, always” – grizzlies commentator as Iguodala shoots a contested, low-percentage jumper.

They really aren’t good at their jobs.

All-Star respect yo

Just flipped it on a minute ago

About how much closer would the game be if the refs were doing a decent job?

like 3-4 points closer. We were all sorts of terrible in the first.

Dante Cunningham, please, enter the lane. Free of charge. We swear we won’t attempt to stop you.

dante cunningham = sixers’ cryptonite.

Damn Chip! Slam that sh….

Man

this team needs Hawes. If the rest of his year looks questionable, Sixers have got to trade for a big.

jru333333333333333333

It was a two?

he doesn’t know the difference.

FOUL3HOT333333333333333

GOALT3333333333333333333ND!

STELLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

These grizz announcers suck.

Like Chris Wheeler suck?

no, they are well-informed and on their way to nationally-telecasted networks.

JRU33333333333333333333333333333

what’s that saying about a stopped clock being right?

Quite an ambitious, press Grizzlies.

See Rick Pitino (circa Boston Celtics) = fail

Would you look at that

Jrue with a spot up 3.

Telling ya

we need another guy initiating the offense next to him at least half the time.

You mean someone like ET?

Has to be either him

or use Iggy/Lou more in an initiating role

so gasol was in the act of shooting when he got that foul…..no, try again, refs.

His name is Gasol

They might need to call up Brackins
Wow, that was a walk

Jrue went up with that and had no idea where he was going.

Why does Jrue always pass it out?
JRU333333333333333 4 22222222222222222

Of course that’s side out.

The rare Young to Jrue for the Jam!

the rare Jrue making physical contact with the rim.

OH JRUE RISE YOUNG FELLA

Hey! An over the back call!

Yeeeesss

Jru3 is on fire

Fire

I didn’t hear the “heating up” call

Damn. And pulled off the travel.

Superstar!

If you score it, the calls will come.

Tony Battie DROPPIN DIMES MUTHA TRUCKAZ

I'd love to see Holiday

supplant Meeks at the 2 at the start of games

wut
on offense
Jrue = Starting Point Guard?
is it that ridiculous

having a 2 guard set where the guards can alternate roles? Say like the Pistons of old with Dumars/Isiah?

....again

Jrue = the Starting Point Guard

you realize he’s already in the starting linup?

Duh

I want to see Meeks on the bench. Jrue would be the deep threat at the 2 and have perhaps Evan play the 1. Without trustworthy bigs, we NEED aggressors at the start of the game.

I wish we had two Jrues.

These memphis announcers are calling him “Jarue”. Is anyone else hearing that?

they’re saying a lot of dumb, inaccurate crapola. no surprise here.

Around the NBA...

Tayshaun Prince with 7 points and 5 boards after 3

around the NBA…

I could care less.

Any sort of defensive rebounding would be SWELL

they prob forgot speights is on tha othar team

OMG JRU3 CAT MISS!!

I’ll see your zone and raise you Jrue

Look at that

another catch and shoot by Holiday. Jrue for the 2 spot on offense, Doug.

Ja-Ru22222!!

Battie!

LAWAD

but they get lucky. oh well.

LAWAD 2 times in 1 minute =O

Tried to LAWAD but they came through the attic on that one.

And Conley makes the ridiculous no chance in hades shot.

How silly is Doug?

Will he start Noce in the 3rd quarter?

I’d put a 20-spot that he does.

Lawd

the fact you’re that certain scares me how well you know Collins is inept in making good in game changes.

He probably will.

Oh man, makes me a little nervous.

Damn – Iggy almost made it

Should have passed it to a wing.

Wish 2 seconds left?

With*

Catch and shoot?

at least both sides had open looks. Not really complaining though, just nitpicking. Builds more chemistry when you’ve got a wide open guy on the wing raising his hand. You pass it to him.

cowards don’t make shots.

Ah Dre – close. Nice way to end the half. It’s a game.

Sixers bounced back like a pack of jumping beans!

thanks to their MVP and phantom three (two) point jumpers.

Okay folks

I’m calling it a half. Going to go volunteer and hand out clothes and food to the homeless in Philly!

No seriously, I’m actually doing that. Go Sixers

give them noce jerseys.

To use as napkins?
Nice

your good deed might just benefit the rest of us with a win tonight. :)

Thought I would be pissed at half, glad I'm not
Really wishing Noce didn't start
Actually

I’m glad he did. Quickest failed experiment by a coach in history.

Don’t be so sure it’s over yet.

My money’s on Battie starting

I like that call
Yeah it should be Allen & Battie

Love that Jrue provided the spark. Maybe Collins will realize that Lou isn’t the only capable offensive player.

Weird things going on in college basketball tonight. None weirder than Binghamton (0-26 (0-13) coming into tonight) beating Vermont (19-10 (12-2))

Wow

is that the team that hasn’t won a game in a few years?

Nah. They had 8 wins last season.

nabisco cookies for Doug if he doesn’t start Noce in the third.

I've always been partial to Newtons

not a cookie, though. Fruit with cake.

that's true

a cookie is just a cookie, but a Newton is fruit and cake!

Tough game

for the Sixers, but they can beat this team, just don’t let our buddy Mareese Speights beat us

Dinner and game time at last!

what do you eat for dinner?

Spaghetti and Cheescake for dessert

that sounds yummy

I had chicken cordon bleu casserole last night, it was better than I thought

I remember the first time I had chicken cordon bleu – it was awesome.

Just got home. Seems like I picked the right night to miss the first half. Probably woulda switched over to Doomsday Preppers after q1.

Glad I’m not the only one who has ridiculous taste when it comes to watching anything other than sports on television.

My favorite “laughing at them, not with them” pleasure on TV.

A man blows his thumb off white practicing small arms fire. In both a pre and post apocalypse society, I’d rather have the thumb.

everybody's favorite Sixer

Nocioni, is getting interviewed on WIP…

it’ll be his last!

Better there than in the locker room.

OT: Did anyone hear about the great news about Community today?

No?

No, wanna fill us in?

It's coming back on March 15th

that is spectacular news

Nice. I wish NBC would quit screwing around with their thursday night lineup.

I wish NBC would stop blowing D in general.

As someone who is interested in producing/writing a TV show, I’m glad NBC sucks. They’ll be more willing to listen to my pitches.

A lot of great comedy, a lot of terrible drama.

Though Awake’s pilot was great.

Does it seem like a show that is worth watching?

Yes, I definitely recommend it. Smart, high concept.

which means it won’t last, at least not on the networks.

I thought about checking Awake out. You approve?

I'm pissed now I just found out that Parks & Rec will go on hiatus!

Why can’t both be going at the same time? Parks & Rec & Community are NBC’s 2 best shows

?!?! This completely negative balances the community return.

Shows take breaks, it happens. They don’t just continue making episodes.

I know that, I should go re-read it again but I don’t think Parks & Rec will be done with there season yet

Yeah, I prefer the Daily Show/Colbert Report scheduling where I know I can watch the shows I want to see together at regular intervals. So I know what to expect.

I never doubted that they’d finish the current season. The real question is whether they’ll get a 4th season or not.

I think it will it seems like it has a bunch of fans they should probably move it though so it doesn’t go against the big bang theory

I don’t think the two shows have as big of a cross-section of fans as you think they do.

You may be right

I know they are both popular so that’s why I said that

I did. It’s ratings were only suffering because it was going up against Big Bang Theory. I’m glad it’s coming back

I had this dream two nights ago that I was playing one on two against Thad and Lou. I was doing a great job defending, but Lou kept bossing in shots.

did he also shoot an off-balance jumper with three seconds left in the shot clock, giving you ample time to inbound the ball and get a bs foul with .1 seconds left in the game after the refs refused to review the play and put time back on the clock?

because that would be some crazy sort of dream.

anyone watching online??

in class — can’t access a television.
3 of the 4 links on firstrowsports aren’t working, and one link is showing soccer.

any help would be appreciated :)

It is halftime.

sixers are now a soccer team. get with the times, kid.

we were scoring like one in the first quarter.

Iguodala bricked a corner kick.

you can listen to the game

listening to the game doesn’t help so much in class…

This is kinda taboo to talk about on this site, but thanks for the info.

THe only link working for me is some slavic broadcast, or maybe french?

No links in this thread, dog.

I got a good one…very reliable…

nba.com/leaguepass

Damn you for being less broke than me…

Silly rabbit – links are for kids

lol

thank you everyone. its back up.
sociology is enjoyable once again.

n @preston76 Close
Battie and Turner will start the 2nd half for the #Sixers …

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Turner gets the start, nice.

WOW

are you kidding me Collins!?!?!

I just noticed

how incredibly hot that brunette girl in the Dos Equis commercials is

Have you ever seen such great D combined with such terrible rebounding?

epic fail by evan there.

sixers = best rebounding team ever

more epic by conley

Thanks, Speights. Keep doing that.

Having Nutella Pizza right now…gosh this is good.

nutella, cheese, and anchovies.

seriously though…deep dish dough, cinnamon sprinkled, with nutella, chocolate chips, and walnuts. so good.

gonna try sometime. Thanks for the recipe.

A shoutout to Lavoy Allen!
the Gasol brother who has balls

is giving the Sixers trouble :(

telegraphed pass.

That was a late foul call

Turner trying to match his point total with his turnover total.

Sigh

kid has an opportunity….come on Evan…

I hope he makes the most of it. So far he hasn’t.

Shooting guards are 1-9 in this game so far.

cmon sp8z thas just disrespefuu

I need some good luck snacks

SIXERS SUCK
TRADE IGGY HALLADAY AND TURNER
WE’LL NEVER HAVE A TEAM LIKE IVERSON DID
SHOULDA KEPT DALEMBERT

What would trading Roy Halladay do?

Get Amaro fired.

Don’t worry guyz, I’m here, now we’ll start winning.

You must do a 4th quarter food update.

I was disappointed to see no one stepped up while I was gone.

put your hands down lou. that was a dumb shot and you know it.

battie just collected is social security check on that play

Perennially Confused: The Tony Battie Story.

Can the Sixers comeback after a 20 point deficit? Sounds too good to be Jrue.

Jrue puns>>>Jeremy Lin puns

If you combine the two, do you get a player worth JrueLin over?

Happy Holidays to you!

Night Shift: 3-19 from the field.

+/- is so random sometimes. Jrue is a -10 right now, Battie a +2.

yeah it’s a pretty crap stat to follow for individual players.

that's why people ignore it

over the course of a single game, indeed. It’s just funny how those things go.

Battie started playing in the 2nd right? When we made our run.

Good look from Turner and THAT WAS A FOUL

I’ve said that quite often when the sixers go to the basket.

What David Stern wants, is what David Stern gets. He doesn’t want this no superstarish team to make it far.

We don’t go hard enough to make them call it.

It’s all the style of play apparently.

You go strong to the hoop there and you get the foul. You have to make them call it.

This Speights fella is quite interesting to have on your team. Maybe the Sixers should inquire this big.

20/10 guy waiting to happen.

Loads of potential indeed.

We have 4 foul shots Memphis is about to shoot # 18 & 19

apparently all you have to do if you’re a grizzlie is flail around and the refs will blow their whistle.

Well would you argue with a flailing grizzly bear?

I’d probably poop my pants.

Jrue tried to get cute with the behind the back dribble.

Boss !

Hate that shot by the boss

Boss shot….yeah, why not?

cause we still had 20 seconds to go 2 for 1, and instead gave it to them.

yuck, Quincy Pondexter

You live by the BOSSY shots you, you die with the BOSSY shots you never die.

and of course some bad defense followed by a bad jumper….just pathetic.

Grizzly-Mo

RE-SIZE FAIL!

OMG Rachel ate Speezy!

that grizzly looks like the stuffed bear

my grandpa has in his den

I love this.

We make a 3 and give up 5 – nice

story of the game.

Great decision on the very early 26 ft three pointer.

and lou gets hacked on that last play and refs shove whistles up their nonvirgin buttholes.

Will anyone in the organization ever start complaining about this? Can we contract Mark Cuban for a day?

No reason to start calling a fair game, now that the Sixers aren’t down by 20 anymore

FT’s are 19-4 in favor of the grizzlies.

refs are wearing grizzlie thongs.

{Bear rug burn joke here}

Random fast food news end of third quarter update:

Free Auntie Anne’s Pretzels!

Auntie Anne’s is thirty miles too far in either direction.

I love their pretzels.

I haven’t had them in forever – I need to get back to Philly one day solely for the reason of eating a CheeseSteak and pretzels. I cry when I try cheesesteaks made in other cities and other states.

It’s gonna be okay, man.

Thad showing some quicks!
BREAKING NEWS! A 76ER IS GETTING A FOUL SHOT

breaking news! Sixers just got a foul call!!

and it’s on a bad call, of course…

Gasol is confused. “A whistle? But they had the ball!”

Can’t keep a whistle locked up in a NVBH for too long. Sooner or later it’s bound to fall out.

what a bailout call.

a massive Iranian

is a bad matchup for Iggy

So soft in the middle

so sad

Refs, seriously, you are allowed to call fouls on them

man these guys fight out there.

Lol

shouldn’t 4 on 1’s be auto lay-ins?

He made the FT’s, no complaining.

basically the sixers have to get punched in the face, balls, and buttocks in order to get a foul call.

Shame on all of you for not posting this:

Cut it to 5 and offense wets the bed

I’ve seen this movie before.

Good shot by Lou.

that was not off of philly…lou, terrible shot. Sit on the bench.

Trading buckets is fun not going to help you win

eddie jordan will not friend you on facebook now.

Think I still have a shot to be in his MySpace top 8?

let’s just say if there was a “dislike” button, he would choose it for all of your status updates.

I’m not sure life is worth living anymore

Unless the roof is leaking. Then it’s a critical part of the strategy.

But what if I have no roof?

You ask Jrue to raise one for you.

Meeks and Lou in, lets see how this works.

it doesn’t work. it never works.

well hold on, lets not judge it by the fact that Meeks just got run off a screen and gave up an open Mayo 3 when the sixers really could have used a stop, let’s wait and see what happens.

perimeter d in general isn’t good when meeks and lou play together.

Thad with the response

im still waiting for 4 consecutive 3s from memphis after a sixer push

Oh come on! Every freaking time.

Sorry to be that guy,

But it looks like we turned it around a little bit. How is Jrue playing ?

These Grizz announcers are complainers

these grizz announcers understand basketball.

I agree that probably shouldn’t be a jump ball but they complain about every little thing it seems like

yeah, just frustrating to listen to in general.

I stopped watching because I could not stand them.

Nice work by Chips

Would Grant Hill get mad

if i say Rudy Gay’s moves are gay?

you’re better than that, though.

that's true

which is why I created a hypothetical, I won’t call them that

bench lou, please.

He just didn't look good

shooting that fade away

Sixers 1/2 offense = facepalm

Man, all these jump shots sure aren’t getting old!

Free throws are boring!

they’re better than layups!

that ball had a lot of air on it.

I will say right now if we’re close with under a minute left & Lou gets instead of Jrue with the way Jrue’s played I’m going to be steamed

we wont be close because we shoot jumpers and don’t get to the foul line.

apparently Iguodala is a big time scorer with his less than 20% usage rate and 12ppg. Allen just shut him down on that play, apparently.

Off topic, but

did you know the Nets have 4 players with the last name Williams?

Think they should trade for Mo Williams?

I really don’t think we can win.

that’s what happens when you go down 30-9

Wow, got in late and didn’t realize that happened. Smh

Wtf yo – get it together

Iguodala with the defensive fail.

Lou should probably keep shooting and missing.

Fouls have ceased to be called.

Well at least this one was enjoyable to watch.

????

if you want to crown the Grizzlies

then crown their , but they are who we thought they were and we let them off the hook

it was too large of a mountain to scale early

I love how we have the lowest turnover avg but yet the few we make are crippling.

because we dont get to the line.

Iguodala was fouled..yet called for the walk. F me.

Give Lavoy a hand!

Love the off balance long 2 from Jrue there, great shot

WOW THAD HUGE BLOCK

He’s decided to be a 7 footer on D today.

I feel like the all star break already started, and this game is a hallucination.

Hated that Jrue.

I think Boss is rubbing off on Jrue – that was a Boss style shot selection

Everybody needs more Boss in their lives.

Welcome to

JumpShot Hell

I’m done. Congrats, Stern. In looking out for only your big name stars, you have taken all the fun out of watching the Sixers. Until this whole reffing situation is taken care of, I am done with the NBA. I have loved the Sixers all my life, and still will, but I won’t contribute to viewership in a league that won’t allow my team to win until they get a star.

was this game really that bad?

Not as bad as some others, but it’s obvious that the way refs call Sixers games isn’t going to change

Not sure if the Mempises have many big name stars.

Rudy Gay and Zebo i guess

They have Gasol, who gets more love than our team combined

I feel you on the refs at the same time if we lose, it’s our fault. We deserve to lose based on shot selection and failure to get to the line. Refs make it frustrating but they’re window dressing. We’re our own problem

I’m telling you, suicide sprints for every bad long 2 taken – regardless if made or not. It’s the only way to fix it.

don’t forget free throw shooting!!!

relax guys, our starting pg has 22 points and zero foul shots, again.

don’t care how u get em, but 20 points each game should bring you to the all star game

that’s just…sigh

Is there a LWHAI color higher than red?

where is the foul??

Gasol should win the award for most over the back fouls not called.

Most coaches

would put LouWill on the end of the bench for all those bad iso shots. Instead, he gets praised by ours.

agreed. He’s terrible this game.

2-13 just shouldn’t happen, ever.

how about suicides for every player who jacks up a shot without passing to anybody else?

how about we trade lou during the all-star break

Couldn't happen

unless you can somehow surgically remove Doug’s nose from his ass

sixers wont win any more games this season. 20-46 final record.

let’s wrap up the week and celebrate Iguodala for bringing his tenacity and audacious Philly spirit to the All Star game!

Collins officially on suicide watch – 4 straight L’s

grizzlies commentators keep insisting that Iguodala is a volume scorer.

well he tries to be if he wanted to

disagree for reasons discussed millions of times already.

What are you saying – he’s not?

I mean technically tonite he was ( 14 shots and 11 points)

But yea thats generally not the case.

The only way to relieve this stress is to play as Jrue Holiday in 2k and drive to the hoop everytime

he wont get any foul calls, though.

there’s a new David Stern referee patch coming for the game.

quarter by quarter scoring in this game is just stupid.

10, 32, 18, 14

The team

is in so much disarray right now it’s revolting. It’s like preseason just started. Understand the bigs situation but our smalls shouldn’t be this bad.

ok, I officially turned the game off.

lol here comes turner…

We literally have NOTHING else when our jump shots aren’t falling. I just want Doug to acknowledge that this is a problem.

That and someone, maybe not Doug, but someone needs to call out the refs.

he wont. Our offense has been quite bad for some time now and he’s done nothing differently in terms of offensive sets.

Nothing at the hoop

even in garbage time

Summon the Graveyard Shift

sorry guys, good night
Laugh my ass off

Grizz commentators stating it was all about their D tonight.

I guess they didn’t watch the Sixers the past week. Even I couldn’t watch.
