Shawn Alexander - February 6, 2012 reply

WOAH

Let’s not go overboard

I could have said it better myself.

couldn’t*

See. Proving my failure with words.

and it sounds even better coming from you. I’m just shocked your post wasn’t five times as long.

The only difference between him and LeQuan.

I lol’d

I cried

so thats why he got banned hammered.

Irrational exuberance less grating than incessant Iguadala is garbage musings.

lol i still love this

I’m a boss, I get cake, you making money? Give me a break. You just a lame, you ****** hating

oh no he didnt.

It's your night, Lou WilliamsMVP

Damn, BOSS makes this look good.

God bless the US school system.

’" Remember me bench ridin? I get THAT TICK NOW"

Also incredible to hear Jruth talk about growing up as a lakers fan in LA, following Kobe’s entire career, and then winning this game against them tonight. Said it was his favorite win ever.

KJ Brophy - February 6, 2012 reply

did some investigative work

this pic is by far her best. i give her a solid 8

I would 8 her out

Attendance was 20,064.

I think it was around 15,000 after all the kobe bandwagon fans left at the end.

I’m shaking right now. That was such a great comeback. They had no business winning that while getting outrebounded so badly. After Kobe’s hot start he shot them right into the loss column. Just a great win. Can’t wait to hear the pundits now.

Also, just for a big win:

It's a tradition

For those who could not see it, how bossy did things get?

Quite.

Michael Scott

That is a new level of bossy

Boss level

Michael Scott

We should do a boss level advisory system like thegoodphight does with the smug advisory level.

this has potential

We have a LWHAI

LWHAI?

Lou Williams Hate Advisory Index.

That’s pretty nice

Nice

It’s still active, just not as prevalent this year since well… we’re winning games.

Ah, yes. I forgot about that.

As said waaaaaay below

we need a LWLAI.

Scott Kenny - February 6, 2012 reply

Possibly the Bossiest.

it was the bossiest boss for all the bosses who ever boss’d.

hacked the kobesystem and went bossmode

Ain't nothin but a Lou thang y'all

LouWilliamsMVP - February 6, 2012 reply

lol, props for your man crush bro haha

Adding insult to injury?

Shawn Alexander - February 6, 2012 reply

BO$$

Seriously

To be down 4 to the Lakers at half given the ridiculous stuff Kobe was hitting in the first half was a small victory in itself.

Dominate losing to the Sixers

Go Sixers

she looks like a girl who is three times hotter because she has nice racks on racks on racks.

she’s got a very pretty face

but no butt.

She wants me. I can tell.

can’t have it all.

this is why we have no documented female members. lol

Levin is close enough.

Fact

I just remembered that I'm the mistress on our family tree.

Mad Awk.

To be fair, sports blogs are like the treehouses we wanted as boys growing up with a “no girls allowed” sign outside

NO HOMERS

Little rascals

Hmmm…maybe I’ll have to start posting here. You’ve convinced me.

Heyo doubleh

Wassup?

Enjoying the Sixers and getting excited/ready for Spring Training. You?

softball season?

Ha – baseball

Oh, yeah. Sixers are fun again and have been since mid-last season. I used to post here and then Eddie Jordan came along and I knew that was trouble from the get go. Can’t wait until ST. Not too long now.

I remember! WELCOME BACK PLEASE MAKE US BE MATURE

I’m the last one who can make someone be mature.

I don’t think I’d like this site as much if we were mature.

yosoysean - February 7, 2012 reply

ah crap.

I don’t see doubleh until I head back to TGP once baseball season starts. This throws off my equilibrium

Well, CCB started it with the "no girls allowed’ crapola. I consider that a challenge. Dance off!

Break dance fighting?

Well, CCB started it with the "no girls allowed’ crapola. I consider that a challenge. Dance off!

Didn’t know that, that’s all it takes. Reverse Psychology at it’s finest.

... Well

we did run one female from BGN away. Readers got in the debate that she might actually be a he….

I’m pretty sure TwistyWristy is female, no?

Nope, I’m a dude.

awkward

Very.

Pictures can be deceiving…

lol, awkward indeed.

I cannot stop laughing at this for some reason.

HA!

Sorry. Don’t know why I thought that.

Haha, it’s no problem, I get that a lot, probably because of my avatar.

I have some pictures to delete from my hard drive…

lmao

Not all women are against appreciating the female body.

Derek Bodner - February 6, 2012 reply

I didn’t say she wasn’t hot. She’s hot, but much hotter due to racks on racks

I’ve been on the internet for too long. She has another .gif where she gets naked and plays the wii.

I’ve stared at that for 20 minutes before.

whaaaaaaat

Link or gtho

Her name is Shay Laren

Last time 76ers were outrebounded by 25 or more and won: Dec. 3, 1994 – 83-78 over the Cavs (59-31). Tyrone Hill 18 reb., Michael Cage 17.

Tyrone Hill as a Cav. Good times.

From the city to the suburbs…

Lakers 0-for-6 from 3 in fourth quarter.

“Fin” to come through like a boss.

What did they have like 5 turnovers or something?

Mighty Blue Star - February 6, 2012 reply

Suck on that one Lakers.

Don’t get too excited guys, were still not the Pacers.

Mike Brown wasn’t there, that’s why the Lakers lost.

it's true

this win doesn't count.

I wonder if this game puts Lou in the All-Star Game.

#Kobesystem

ZOMG KOBEEE ONLY HAD FORPOUNTS IN THJE SEONCD HALF BECAUSRE THE GAME WAS ALREYDT WON AND YOUT SUXERS DIDNT HAS A CHAHNCE@!!!!!!!! KOEBN UIS GOOOOODDDDDD!@!!!!!

Hehehehehehehe…that was fun :D

The Crooked Man - February 6, 2012 reply

Dweeb that never gets old :-)

It’s a beautiful thing :)

Really need to work on that rebounding though. That’s just awful.

Please Dwight, we need you.

long 2’s > rebounds

Lou shot 7 for 12 from the floor. Now thats Bossie.

The Crooked Man - February 6, 2012 reply

How about the fact that they were out rebounded by 25 and still attempted the same amount of shots?! I guess that’s what happens when you only turn the ball over FOUR times. By the way, I don’t think I’ve ever seen that few turnovers in a game by anyone, let alone the Sixers.

Silver Screen and Roll are having a melt down.

They want Jeremy Lin while complaining the refs robbed them of the win.

Of course they did. The Sixers haven’t beaten anyone yet. There’s always an excuse. :)

I can only hope that someday, we’ll be as good as Indiana.

They are the gold standard.

Didn't we beat them...

shouldn’t we be the gold standard?

Nah we didn’t beat them. We beat a Granger-less Pacers, a Deng/Hamilton-less Bulls, a Nelson-less Magic, and a Mike Brown-less Lakers.

DENG SHOTS!!!!

Excuses.

We had a Spencer-less Sixers.

The purple and gold standard.

I just pray

That my children see a day where the LA Lakers can get a fair shake from officials.

The Crooked Man - February 6, 2012 reply

HAH!

I believe that’s written in Latin on Sacramento’s city seal.

refs robbed them because Iguodala played damn good defense on Kobe and forced him to turn it over at crucial moments in the fourth.

Come now, you don’t go from scoring 24 points in one half to scoring 4 points the next without help from the refs :D

this is true. that’s got to be the only reason.

This game taught me that taking care of the ball>rebounding. If you shoot 40% and take care of the ball, you win.

the question is, what’s more likely, getting out-rebounded that badly or only having four turnovers in a game?

neither

we faced a team based on one guy shooting the ball and two huge guys tipping in his rebounds, with a couple other guys there to play defense. The nature of the matchup led to both statistical iregularities.

but what are the chances it would lead to those two extremes?

It’s because the refs are out to get Kobe, they don’t want to recognize that he’s the greatest player ever (except for maybe Tha BOSS) and that Jordan was a punk compared to him.

I’m too tired to do the damn caps thing again :D

Sixers didn’t win this. Lakers actually lost it.

They clearly beat themselves tonight.

Lakers are worst in the league in forcing turnovers. If ever there was to have an epic “take care of the ball” game, this was going to be it.

Derek Bodner - February 6, 2012 reply

Ah good point, I completely forgot about that fact regarding the Laker’s forced turnover rate.

basically yeah

Dan Pearson - February 7, 2012 reply

pretty high. The Lakers are a high rebound/high turnover team. The Sixers are a low rebound/low turnover team. This was to be expected (although probably not as extreme as what occurred)

Dan Pearson - February 7, 2012 reply

Sounds a lot like the 00-01 Sixers…

Malik is fired up:

SIXERS SEND THE LAKERS AND ALL THE FAKE A## SIXER FANS TO THE EXITS EARLY WITH A 95-90 WIN!!! LOU WILLIAMS CLOSES THE DOOR W/3 HUGE SHOTS!!

Love it

You would think Malik has been a Sixers fan his whole life. I fear we will lose him to a national color gig, but I’ll enjoy this season!

I think Malik is from around here, and he went to college around here.

he’s from Overbrook, Philadelphia’s basketball home in the 60s and 70s (right near St. Joe’s right inside the city

So he probably has been a Sixers fan his whole life.

he also went to drexel.

this.

Thread needs moar

BOSSY post game interview. lol

needs to be 'chopped

She’s also from Philly :D

Good try though.

I said I was using GIMP! That POS app

no offense

but is still some what legitimate, meaning you can still make selections and such, meaning this is pretty awful.

let that sink in for a minute

As a Lakers fan, why would this surprise you?

JJ Barea beat the Lakers in the Finals.

That face...

Damn...

…a girl I work with looks exactly like her, except for the rack. I’m never going to be able to look at her the same way again. I foresee a sexual harassment suit in my immediate future :D

What's your name?

I see if you name is in the papers.

The defense litigator in me shudders at posts like this.

The plaintiff’s lawyer in me drools.

Lou is a Boss

On another note, Andre’s foul shooting has to be mental. He’s look the catcher in Majore League 2 who couldn’t throw it back to the pitcher. Maybe we need to get him to start reciting playmate centerfolds turn-on’s and turn-off’s when he goes to the line.

Iguodala has got the yips from the line

It can be fixed.

Love this picture, saw it up on NBA.com

he sad

the hand on his shoulder is the best part.

Like, “there, there, I’m sorry you got BOSSed!”

rec’d for making me laugh.

25 year season ticket holder, possibly longer

I was at a game where he was honored. His name is Allen. I remember him vividly taunting the Lakers during Game 3 of the NBA Finals in 2001.

oh man that is awesome.

how bout this one?

DirtyWaters - February 6, 2012 reply

Front page on Espn.

1 2 3 4 5

Unfortunately it is because of Kobe, not how good the Sixers are playing.

KOBE PASSED SHAQ!!!!!! oh yeah, they lost too.

ZOMG!!!! KOBEEE IS THE GREATEST EVAR!!!!! oh yeah, some other team won.

They would’ve said that if the wizards beat them (which would never happen, but you know…)

...

The relationship between Philly fans and Bryant has been strained since the 2001 NBA finals against the Sixers, when he proclaimed he was “coming to Philly to cut their hearts out.” That began an unforgiving attitude from Sixers fanatics that continues to this day.

When commissioner David Stern presented Bryant with the All-Star game MVP trophy in 2002 in Philadelphia, the boos were long and loud, and he later admitted he was hurt.

He now feeds off Philadelphia’s official sound and delights in upsetting the home crowd.

The Crooked Man - February 7, 2012 reply

I was there to boo him; it was oh-so delightful!

Oh shit. I forgot. Mike Brown was out. Fluke Win!

TitansJonne - February 6, 2012 reply

Is Mike Brown a 20 ppg superstar?

he instills 20ppg awesomeness in all of his players. Especially Jason Kapono.

He would have choke slammed the refs for fouls called against Lou. So win doesn’t count.

Sprewell is his body guard.

Yes, particularly superstar Krapono, who couldn’t even crack Eddie Jordan’s rotation :)

he made me crack my head against the wall everytime he passed up a three because it wasn’t wide open.

It has to bother the Lakers that with all they did, they couldn’t out shoot Lou Williams and win the game. The Sixers are a better team than the Lakers, even though their bigs abused ours. They don’t have a guard capable of guarding Williams and when he goes off like he did in the last quarter, scoring 14 of his points in the final 12 minutes the Sixers are hard to beat. For you math heads that means Williams outscored his own team, 14-9.

I think this is the first time Lou carried the team on his back and this kind of outburst, going 4-6 and getting fouled twice and making 2 sets of free throws, is to be encouraged and praised as exactly the kind of performance that ALL STAR players have. This is a big coming out for Lou Williams a Big Time NBA player.

RickoT - February 6, 2012 reply

Love Pau’s face on the bench when Dre hit that circus shot +1

I wonder why there isn't a Espn Philadelphia

despite being the 5th biggest market in the U.S.

I know we are bigger than Dallas….

I have wondered that as well.

Because everyone hates Philly, especially a network primarily focused on New York and Boston teams.

I think it has to do with the Fanatic

ESPN radio is full-time in those other cities, right?

They have espn radio Atlantic City or whatever…

I have wondered this too. I mean they have Chicago. Chicago.

I know someone who works at ESPN and from what I’ve been told when they add more cities Philly is at the top of the list.

youaretheman26 - February 6, 2012 reply

anti-philly bias

If Im not mistaken there has been casual talk about this inside ESPN. Trust me they know about the Philadelphia market. .

Anyone else notice Denzel looks like Dr J?

anyone else notice Dr J looks like Denzel?

Anyone else notice that Dr. Hyde looks like George Washington?

… Meant to type Dr. Jekyl

You never see them in the same room together, do you?

anyone else notice that George Washington looks like that guy on the dollar bill?

You never see them in the same room together, either…

Quote of the night.

Kobe had to take 2,000 + more shots than Shaq to get this record

2000 shots? That’s like three games for Kobe, pretty much.

lol

plus, consider the fact that shaq never shot from outside 5 feet

He missed like 2,000 + free throws.

can’t compare a shooting guard’s shot attempts to a center.

true

Fair enough.

but it’s like saying Carmelo Anthony is good despite taking 34 shots to make 17 points.

Carmelo Anthony is an All-Star!!! That’s all that matters!!! :D

not at all

except Kobe’s been more efficient throughout his career.

thats like your opinion man

Stealing my signature man?

Lakers led 86-79 with 4:15 left. Sixers outscored Lakers 16-4 the rest of the way.

i cut it on at point

I just decided on watching the game. This chick will just have to wait

Shawn Alexander - February 6, 2012 via mobile reply

wut

It's tha BOSS

She’ll understand.

This one sentence...

…defines the entire ESPN/Philly dynamic:

The Lakers lost Monday night. But Kobe enjoyed another defining moment as he moved past Shaq on the NBA’s all-time scoring list.

I hate this….. so much.

The beauty is, the caption was “Kobe tops Shaq.” I didn’t know Shaq played for the Sixers. My bad.

There’s no mention of who beat the Lakers. The picture is just Kobe cuddling with one of his teammates. It’s a beautiful thing.

I can’t wait until we win the NBA Championships. :)

Surprised it wasn't

The Lakers lost Monday night. But Kobe enjoyed another defining moment as he moved past Shaq on the NBA’s all-time scoring list, in spite of playing in front a hostile, unforgiving, and crass Philadelphia crowd, fresh off of booing Santa.

How about?

I believe he’s showing his displeasure that he eats Kobe Bean Bryant’s butt first.

My favorite was

“Who the hell does Williams think he is!”. That’s great because I’m sure Levin has written that 10 times equally as angry on this blog.

He should have proper respect for the Lakers and allow them to win, because they are the superior beings.

Wow.

#Sixers are on pace to break NBA record for fewest turnovers. Averaging 10.7, with league mark 11.4 by 2005-06 Pistons.

Only four turnovers tonight which was absolutely amazing.

only 66 games this season and they still have over half the season to play, but you’d think that teams should have more turnovers than usual given the compacted schedule.

Can you please stop bitching about stupid minute beauty flaws of these girls? Every single time someone posts a picture of a hot girl you complain about how ugly she is.

that girl’s the centerpiece of the cheerleading squad. She’s probably second hottest next to the asian girl.
