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?
Where will you be when the Sixers hoist the Larry O'Brien trophy? Hopefully Liberty Ballers.
Nice move by Iguodala.
Got bailed out on the call, but good move.

Jermaine O'neal is looking good.

Owned Dalembert right there.

Good looking start folks.
Where will you be when the Sixers hoist the Larry O'Brien trophy? Hopefully Liberty Ballers.
Thaddeus still needs to improve his ball handling hardcore.
Where will you be when the Sixers hoist the Larry O'Brien trophy? Hopefully Liberty Ballers.
Forgot to mention the red jerseys.
Where will you be when the Sixers hoist the Larry O'Brien trophy? Hopefully Liberty Ballers.
Used to like 'em a lot.
Not so much anymore.
Where will you be when the Sixers hoist the Larry O'Brien trophy? Hopefully Liberty Ballers.
Willie Green=Eddie House?
No.
Where will you be when the Sixers hoist the Larry O'Brien trophy? Hopefully Liberty Ballers.
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?:)

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.

Wow nice post up by Miller.
Where will you be when the Sixers hoist the Larry O'Brien trophy? Hopefully Liberty Ballers.

Brand doesn't like to pass.
Where will you be when the Sixers hoist the Larry O'Brien trophy? Hopefully Liberty Ballers.
Nice move Iggy.
Tap that in Speights. You still look nervous buddy.

Miss Cleo says: “‘’ear me now rude bwoy! I am lookin’ into me crystal ball and ‘e tell me this lead is sure not to hold. Call me now for ya’ free readin’!”
lol have hope my friend.

That’s just Fuqua being FUqua – trust me – he was convinced the phils were going to lose every world series game while they were being played
by jemagee on Nov 12, 2008 4:36 PM PST up reply actions
lol
With the way this team has been playing, losing the lead is pretty realistic.
I still believe though.
Where will you be when the Sixers hoist the Larry O'Brien trophy? Hopefully Liberty Ballers.
Iggy for threeeeeeeeee
Where will you be when the Sixers hoist the Larry O'Brien trophy? Hopefully Liberty Ballers.
Here's good game number 2 for Willie.
Where will you be when the Sixers hoist the Larry O'Brien trophy? Hopefully Liberty Ballers.
Reggie Evans just got embarrassed by
Andrea
Where will you be when the Sixers hoist the Larry O'Brien trophy? Hopefully Liberty Ballers.
Can't start turning the ball over guys.
Lou…
Where will you be when the Sixers hoist the Larry O'Brien trophy? Hopefully Liberty Ballers.
Willie is feeling it!
Where will you be when the Sixers hoist the Larry O'Brien trophy? Hopefully Liberty Ballers.
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!!
Where will you be when the Sixers hoist the Larry O'Brien trophy? Hopefully Liberty Ballers.
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.
12 point lead disappearing – i like your guarantees – i’ll feel better if you guarantee doom :)

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
I'm back.
6 point lead at the half. I’ll take it.
Where will you be when the Sixers hoist the Larry O'Brien trophy? Hopefully Liberty Ballers.
We only have 7 turnovers.
It’s not great, but a lot better than we have been.
Where will you be when the Sixers hoist the Larry O'Brien trophy? Hopefully Liberty Ballers.
Thad has four.
This summer he needs to work on his ball-handling/right hand.
Where will you be when the Sixers hoist the Larry O'Brien trophy? Hopefully Liberty Ballers.
And now that he shoots.
We know he can work.
Where will you be when the Sixers hoist the Larry O'Brien trophy? Hopefully Liberty Ballers.
Another beautiful stat.
5 players have just as many or more shots than Andre Miller.
Where will you be when the Sixers hoist the Larry O'Brien trophy? Hopefully Liberty Ballers.
Was that our first backdoor cut of the season?
Where will you be when the Sixers hoist the Larry O'Brien trophy? Hopefully Liberty Ballers.
I think we lead the NBA in "Wild" shots.
Where will you be when the Sixers hoist the Larry O'Brien trophy? Hopefully Liberty Ballers.
I'm shocked when some of Elton's shots go in.
Where will you be when the Sixers hoist the Larry O'Brien trophy? Hopefully Liberty Ballers.
8 minutes left and in the penalty.
Yikes.
Where will you be when the Sixers hoist the Larry O'Brien trophy? Hopefully Liberty Ballers.
What a block by Speights.
Where will you be when the Sixers hoist the Larry O'Brien trophy? Hopefully Liberty Ballers.
He's starting to find other ways to contribute.
Where will you be when the Sixers hoist the Larry O'Brien trophy? Hopefully Liberty Ballers.
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
Yeah, I'd be fine if he averaged something like
14-7-6 on the season.
Where will you be when the Sixers hoist the Larry O'Brien trophy? Hopefully Liberty Ballers.
My bigger concerns with #4 are the turnovers – not the points
by jemagee on Nov 12, 2008 5:43 PM PST up reply actions
The inevitability of the 4th quarter smack down from O’neal and Bosh as the big men get in more and more foul trouble is palbable

This commercial is SO dumb, who has ever said this crap about Wade?
by jemagee on Nov 12, 2008 5:41 PM PST reply actions
lol I was thinking the same thing.
Where will you be when the Sixers hoist the Larry O'Brien trophy? Hopefully Liberty Ballers.
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.
I like the triple double that comes with 10 TOs ;)

NBA Live
I used to get 10 turnovers with one player every game lol

J.O. is looking good.

and one less turnover
Where will you be when the Sixers hoist the Larry O'Brien trophy? Hopefully Liberty Ballers.
oh wow
I didn’t know that was his first turnover.
Where will you be when the Sixers hoist the Larry O'Brien trophy? Hopefully Liberty Ballers.
That was Williams on the turnover wasn’t it?
Made up for it on the other end and Speights saves Willies arse
by jemagee on Nov 12, 2008 5:56 PM PST reply actions
Yeah Lou traveled.
I think Willie was fouled, but the refs think know that’s Willie Green.
It’s really unfair.
Where will you be when the Sixers hoist the Larry O'Brien trophy? Hopefully Liberty Ballers.
Lou-Will is maning up.

If nothing else, we've put together a solid 40 minutes
against a good team.
Where will you be when the Sixers hoist the Larry O'Brien trophy? Hopefully Liberty Ballers.
No – don’t call him Iggy Pop either – that’s just terrible

Where will you be when the Sixers hoist the Larry O'Brien trophy? Hopefully Liberty Ballers.
Yeah he can.
He’s never gotten in a rhythm tonight.
Where will you be when the Sixers hoist the Larry O'Brien trophy? Hopefully Liberty Ballers.

We payed Lou 25 million dollars to play 11 minutes.

He doesn’t get it all this year – he’s got an excellent contract.
God Lou williams looks 12 years old on the bench.
Wins don’t suck
