Sacramento Kings at Philadelphia 76ers, Nov 3, 2008 4:00 PM PST
The last time our Sixers took the court they blew a 23 point lead to the lesser (at least we thought so) Atlanta Hawks. Tonight we return to Philly to face the Sacramento Kings and with three games under our belt we (me) need to stop making excuses like, "Oh, we're still developing team chemistry", "Our offense is a little rusty", "Elton Brand is the answer to all our problems" and just play some quality basketball. 1-2 on the season without playing a real powerhouse of a team has been extremely disappointing, but the best thing about the NBA is we can still go 80-2.
If we are ever going to be considered a good team, we are going to A) Win at home and B) Beat the teams that we're supposed to beat. Tonight the winless Sacramento Kings come to our place and there's no reason we shouldn't be able to accomplish both of those things and turn our season around. Check out Sactown Royalty for all things Kings.
Here some are some of our many problems that we need to fix. Soon.
Problem: We're only getting four steals a game and averaging 18 turnovers.
Solution: Simple. Steal the ball and take care of it on offense. No more stupid lob passes.
Problem: Andre Miller taking 15+ shots a game.
Solution: Stop shooting so much and run the offense. There's a reason we paid Andre Iguodala this summer. Get him the ball.
Problem: 70% from the line.
Solution: Shoot better, especially Elton and Iguodala who are both shooting under 67%.
Problem: Lou Williams cannot run the offense.
Solution: Have Miller run the offense and when he's off the court let Iggy run it. The offense is completely stagnant with Lou at the point.
Problem: Too much Reggie Evans.
Solution: Marreese Speights please. I don't care how experienced he is, or that Mo wants him to earn his time. M16 is a much better option at this point.
TV: Comcast SportsNet
Record: 1-2
Prediction: 101-89 Sixers

Kings are conceivably the worst team in the nba right now – so this should be an easy win
of course – the hawks game should have been a win as well

I see no reason that REggie Evans should be getting more minutes than Speights unless Speights did bad things to that little girl that Mo saved singing the national anthem

I put it in the fan post for alpha testers it’s basically a basketball pick em
To talk to whoodie – i’m creating a ‘teams’ table and a’games’ table
games has ‘home team’ which is an ID number and ‘away team’ that’s an ID number…i need to pull the teams from the teams table, I think i figure it out but i’ve never written ‘alias’ queries before…i have interest in making this site work but i’m also learning as I go – so alias queries are weird.
Then i have to figure out how to ‘score’ iit, with results, picks, and users…i don’t know if i should have a ‘results’ table or do i just put the winner ID in the game table…i haven’t excatly picked an EASY project to self teach myself on

Ah, ok, that’s what i was thinking – when you are doing “joins” can you concatenate to create an equality (gameid and gamewinner?)
by jemagee on Nov 3, 2008 5:13 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
I don’t see why not … it may depend on the join but I’m a little rusty.

For some reason i suck at writing joins but when i get to use WHERE it makes more sense to me – i have NO idea why
by jemagee on Nov 3, 2008 5:16 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
joins are tough you have to be able to see the picture … I don’t like query language because there are to many holes … you can lose shit and not know where or how for the longest time … same with scripting language

I should focus on joins more but for some reason the structure of writing them always messes with my ADHD in a way using WHERE doesn’t

I started computing because it helps me with my ADHD … where just sounds right … thats what is good about query language for the most part it sounds like what you want to do … I am learning Python right now … it is pretty nuts but very powerful

If the kings were a better team not on the tail end of a long road trip i’d say yes – but the kings are awful – if it were back to back against the hawks i’d say yes :)

I mean there’s one thing much better tonight than the last game – the hawks run started in the second quarter – it felt like it was slipping away – strong second for full quarter and good start to the 3rd already
Let’s get to 100 before the end of the 3rd – that should be the goal

Now – populating radio buttons and manipulating the stupid date format in mysql to look better and the raw information is set up for scheduling.
hmmm….to make it work properly i need to create a way to determine how many games are on the selected date to automate the creation of the radio choices and inserting into the database.

Ok – so the game is pretty simple – you pick a date – each game on that day you pick a winner
Each game has a unique id and ‘away’ team and a ‘home’ team
When you pick the date, populating the radio buttons is easier, the name is the game id and the value is the away team id or home team id depending on which button.
I just ran into a block because I realized that each day has a different number of games – and how do i populate the picks based on that – but i think i came up with a solution that works.
The date that they are selecting for is a hidden field in the form that is passed to the inserting page…when i’m on the inserting page, i query the game id based on the date….oh yeah, to make sure that the orders match, the queries are both ordered by gameID….
So after i query on the gameid – i can do the while loop – but in the while loop i use $_POST and write an insert query for the variables?
That way it doesn’t matter how many games are in a given day – the correct games get inserted (I know i need error checking to make sure all the games are selected…but right now i’m just worried about the complicated stuff)
Does that make sense? Sometimes I suck at explaining
by jemagee on Nov 3, 2008 6:05 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
so you have X number of radio buttons and you are populating from the game table until no more games exist for that date? $_POST should work because it has no limit.

by Whodie126 on Nov 3, 2008 6:10 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
Yes…what i’m worried about is making sure that the ‘insert.php’ file inserts all games properly and i don’t know how to ‘count’ the number of radio buttons – but since each game has a unique ID i can just query the date again and in my ‘while’ loop i can use the $_POST function to get the players pick for THAT game and write the query to insert it….it might not be the ‘right’ way to do it – i’m sure there are fancier ways to loop through it while counting the rows or something – but i’m not that smart :)
I think it works….so this is why i need alpha testers :)
by jemagee on Nov 3, 2008 6:11 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
can’t you keep the count of radio buttons (maybe divide by 2 since only one will be selected) created and make sure that number matches the number selected? Unique ids will save you plus I’m pretty sure they are a must have or the DB will blow up.

Thanks….i could count the radio buttons, but I don’t know how to loop through the radio buttons with the query and $_POST function. The problem is that each radio button will have a ‘name’ equivalent to the game ID – not the number of radio buttons.
So there may be 3 radio buttons but they have the name 33, 34, 35….and i NEED that name….and the value because the insert is
INSERT INTO PICKS (UserID, GameID, PickID) VALUES (UserID, GameID, PickID)
So the PickID is defined as $_POST‘GameID’
THe Game ID is the row‘gameid’ from the query
the userID is a hidden value sent through
by jemagee on Nov 3, 2008 6:17 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
won’t a select count(*) get you the count for the PICKS table

No it’s alright, i probably explained myself poorly…I think the ‘double query’ and setting the radio buttons names equal to the game ID will hopefully work.
I wish i had more time to focus on this but i got home duties and a full time job :)
