Sixers at Raptors open thread 11/12/08

Philadelphia 76ers at Toronto Raptors, Nov 12, 2008 4:00 PM PST


We need a slumpbuster.

The Raptors are playing well (better than us), we aren't and they've already beaten us once this year.

I'm trying to be optimistic.

Let's turn this thing around!

TV: Comcast SportsNet

Record: 2-5

Prediction: 98-86 Raptors.

This is an open thread.

Got home just in time to see Sam get blocked and a Thad airball.

Did I miss anything else?

Nice move by Iguodala.

Got bailed out on the call, but good move.

Willie Green=Eddie House?

No.

In that they are both contract per year players who are 8/9 guys in rotations on quality teams – yes – my point comparing eddie house and willie green has always been that no one gave eddie house a 5 year deal – why the hell did willie get one?:)

by jemagee on Nov 12, 2008 4:28 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

That's who the announcers just compared.

I’d take House over Willie any day, contract or not. Eddie House is a better 3-point shooter and oh yeah, he’s not Willie Green.

On that specific play he was triple teamed after pump-faking for the 32nd straight time.

I’m sure someone was open.

With the way this team has been playing, losing the lead is pretty realistic.

I still believe though.

Wrong, sir. By the time they had reached the NLCS I had shed the perpetual pessimism. The regular season, on the other hand…well you could make the case based on in-game comments that I thought they would go 0-162 ; )

Good ol' DVR

I’m starving. I’m going to pause it and get something to eat. By the time I catch up it’ll be the halftime. Keep it going you two; rocking it like an old married couple right now.

M16 to the line!!

I would like them to extend this lead to about 20 by half. That would make me feel somewhat comfortable. With this team right now, a 12 point lead can disappear in a matter of 3 minutes. But beggars can’t be choosers I guess.

by FuquaManuel on Nov 12, 2008 4:51 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

Is that a guarantee?

12 point lead disappearing – i like your guarantees – i’ll feel better if you guarantee doom :)

It wasn’t even a prediction. I was just saying that it is possible with this team.

by FuquaManuel on Nov 12, 2008 5:04 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

Leading at the half while having to travel and playing a game the night before – and the raptors are no pushovers – is a good haalf

by jemagee on Nov 12, 2008 5:11 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

Agreed. The 3 with a few seconds left was big. Even if it was thanks to Willie Green.

by FuquaManuel on Nov 12, 2008 5:14 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

I'm back.

6 point lead at the half. I’ll take it.

We only have 7 turnovers.

Thad has four.

This summer he needs to work on his ball-handling/right hand.

He's starting to find other ways to contribute.

by jsams on Nov 12, 2008 5:35 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

Yeah…I am just banking on his scoring eventually coming around. For now I would be happy to see him just get about 6 boards, 6 dimes, and 2 swipes per night.

by FuquaManuel on Nov 12, 2008 5:38 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

He’s ALWAYS had the other ways to contribute – but most people jsut look at his points out put and say he’s not doing well – dudes a 5 × 5 threat

by jemagee on Nov 12, 2008 5:38 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

Yeah, I'd be fine if he averaged something like

14-7-6 on the season.

Eh. I think Iggy may fall a few rebounds short of the triple-dub…not that it matters, I just find the triple double to be one of the more aesthetically pleasing accomplishments in sports.
