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.

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
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

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

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.
