Philadelphia 76ers at Orlando Magic, Nov 6, 2008 5:00 PM PST
TNT--Dynamite!
Dudes, I can't remember the last time we've been on TNT for a regular season game. Unless I'm forgetting one, the last occurrence was two years ago during the Iverson "trade me" saga. There's nothing better than seeing my boys in HD, along with the best pre/post-game show on the Planet, Inside the NBA. I can't wait for outrageous Charles comments, a couple Ernie Johnson-uber-creepy-laughs and some cleverly enhanced pictures that always make me smile. It sure beats NBA League Pass music, a fuzzy picture and horrible announcers like Walt Frazier.
To the game. Last night we were blown out by the Heat. Thank God for back-to-backs. 24 hours later, we have the chance to play on a national stage, against a legitimate playoff team and oh yeah, this freak. Good luck Sammy D; you're going to need it.
Here's my challenge to this suddenly cocky, lazy and careless basketball team. Play with some energy. Play with some heart. Play with some dignity and please, give us something to get excited about. Let's get our first road win of the season and keep my blood pressure down. Everyone needs to step it up. Let's go Sixers!
P.S. We have five days off after this game, so a win is necessary for me to be in a good mood for the long weekend. (Veteran's Day)
Magic P.O.V.: Third Quarter Collapse
TV: TNT
Record: 2-3
Prediction: 146-75 Magic (Let's see if the anti-jinx works).

Wouldn't be too concerned with Sam
I can’t see him getting his usual playing time this game. With Shard at the PF slot, no way they 76ers will have Brand tailing him all over the court.
I'm no commie, but the Reds shall be the best again!

Yeah, we’ll see….Mo still coaches this team

I woldn’t count on a win but at least i got fantasy players on both sides of the ball in this game to make it worth watching
by jemagee on Nov 6, 2008 11:41 AM PST reply actions 0 recs
I'd rather see Sam on Dwight than Brand.
But there’s a good possibility they both get torched.
Where will you be when the Sixers hoist the Larry O'Brien trophy? Hopefully Liberty Ballers.

Which team will show up? The one who was mad about the Hawks game so they torched the kings or the team that played just last night. I can not get over the inconsistency of this team.
by Ben16 on Nov 6, 2008 2:23 PM PST reply actions 0 recs
Sure they may have been ‘mad’ about the hawks and torched the kings – or
The kings were at the end of a 4 game road trip, tired, and oh yeah the kings are TERRIBLE
I don’t think they were ‘mad’ about the hawks game – i think the kings just suck
by jemagee on Nov 6, 2008 2:24 PM PST reply actions 0 recs
they are not the best but Miami is also not amazing.
by Ben16 on Nov 6, 2008 2:32 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
miami is better than the kings, expecially at home, dwyane wade is one of the 5 best in the game when healthy – you make a conclusion that they were angry because they beat up on a tired exhausted terrible team IN philadelphia – it’s a fallacy to conclude they were mad – they may not have cared and they still would have beat the kings
by jemagee on Nov 6, 2008 2:46 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
its the NBA. All the teams have talent or else the players would not be there. The way we go hot and cold the Kings could have beaten us. and i doubt Miami will finish in the top 7 in the East this year.

Got to the point where you select a game and the radio buttons populate – now have to figure out how to insert the picks, edit picks and score :)
It’s in bits and pieces – here’s the code for getting the ‘five days’ picks (i will have code that prevents picks after 7 pm eastern on any day)
http://johnmagee.net23.net/Basketball/date1.php
If you pick a date – it’ll populate the games and your radio buttons for picking – the submit doesn’t work yet – ignore the other stuff – it’s just there so i know it’s all working :)

They should pick a number ( much less than 15) and in every game andre shoots more than that number he pays a 1000 dollar fine – per shot.
I.e – if that number were 12 – his fine for tonights game would be 9,000 dolars
