The Sixers looked somewhat decent in the 2nd half of the Clippers game, but this is a classic good team vs. bad team game. And the good team is at home. I'm searching, but I don't see any reason why the Sixers win this game. For the first time in what seems like a while, the Sixers are playing a healthy opponent.
As always, when you expect your team to lose, you try to focus the positives. I'm going to enjoy the game, win or lose and hopefully witness a couple nasty dunks. I'll also keep a close eye on "the future" in Lou, Thad and Marreese.
All that being said, it would be magical if the Sixers pulled the upset. Let's go Sixers!

wtf?
anyone else having problems w/ league pass? They’re going to switch to the sixers game when the Rockets/Raptors game is over, apparently, at 9:30.
Send GT Green packing.
this is garbage

They only have the audio though. At least you guys will be able to see it. Its not even going to be on regular cable here. They are showing game five of the world series and then the Flyers and i dont have league pass cause i never need it.
sucks balls man

Every NBA team plays today – there aren’t 14 league pass channels (which is a mistake in and of itself)…there are only 10 – so the sixers game is squeezed by a numbers game – kind of disappointing

Nope – but I just read a fine disection of a terrible (redundant statement) Bill Simmons article about how Steve Nash isn’t as good as people think he is.

I think he’s a hack who doesn’t really know what he’s talking about (and thus he is loved at ESPN…the guys who know what they are talking about aren’t given the megaphones, hollinger, thorpe, keith law – the smart folks at espn)…but his article is just taken apart as being factually inaccurate…i got a few laughs out of his ‘worst gm summit’ a couple years ago – but he probably now would suck danny ainges toe if he could

He should stick to trying to be funny (which he usually fails at) and slobbering over boston sports (which is amusing in its own way) analysis is not his forte

Let's trade for Eric Gordon.
That’s my favorite possible scenario of all time, but theres 1000% chance of it not happening. The Sixers have no one to give up and there’s no way the Clippers would even consider moving EG, but one can dream.

I think the sixers (sadly) are focused on a run to mediorcirty than developing young guys right now – speights is a defensively liability compared to ratliff – and dileo must want wins

I can't stand when teams are committed to mediocrity
The Astros as the same way. Theo’s better for the team right now, but Speights is the future. At least let him play a little.

Oh no – the astros aren’t committed to mediocrity – they aspire to mediocrity – they’re comitted to complete and total suckage…worst GM in the league, worst minor league system in the league – with a real bad owner – man they’re worse than the royals and pirates long term

We had a good '08 draft.
It’s a start. It’s funny that our old GM is now the GM of the Rays. Coincidence that the Rays are stacked. I don’t think so.

Not for a while – they might be a marlins/rays type team – win for a couple years then watch the guys get bigger deals other places.
NO GM has the balls of Billy Beane to trade guys for higher value to try and maintain a performance level

The sixers lack of scouting and use of european players isn’t as bad as the phillies sucking in Central America – but it’s a weakness – and it seems like a weakness they voluntarily have.

Every team in the NBA ‘makes a run’ – it’s one of those maxims that we all hear about – and the best way to stop a run is to answer the baskets – but half cour sets – hence these guys are screwed
and I don’t think they are really that better with brand in the half court than without him

I’ve decided the only way to bear all these minutes for Theo Ratliff is that they are showing teams he can still play so he can be traded.

I look at each loss as a step in the direction of a trade.
So, it’s not all that bad. I don’t expect this team to be competitive until Brand returns and even then I’m not sure how competitive they’ll be.
