Utah Jazz at Philadelphia 76ers, Nov 13, 2009 4:00 PM PST

No Deron Williams.

In Philadelphia.

Will the Sixers get it together?

Enough to where we have another unsatisfying win?

Go team.

Donyel Marshall’s voice is sort of irritating. Anyone else get pregame on CSN? I don’t know how I feel about pregame for every single Philly team now…

I'd rather have an unsatisfying win than no win at all

Very few losses (outside of close playoff/road losses) are satisfying.

Even without Deron Williiams this is a better team than the healthy sixers.

And Thad is playing hurt

by jemagee on Nov 13, 2009 3:55 PM PST reply actions

Dei said he had three massages today alone and even had the guy come to his house last night. Doesn’t sound good to me.

by doubleh on Nov 13, 2009 4:05 PM PST up reply actions

I like Donyel in there he seems to have good insight. The Jazz have been having trouble anyway and Derron is a big part of their attack so the Sixers should win. Brand will get a chance to play since Boozer is their other offensive threat.

A win is a win, but I don’t think the Sixers win this one without playing well. The Jazz are a disciplined team, and don’t cough up the ball normally. It would be great for the Sixers if they could get their defense going.

Why should the sixers win? This team barely beat the nets who only had 8 players, some of them not legitimate NBA starters…

by jemagee on Nov 13, 2009 4:03 PM PST up reply actions

that same nets team gave the celtics trouble.

different sport, but the cowboys barely beat the chiefs and that doesn’t mean anything except the cowboys barely beat the chiefs. it shouldn’t be used to compare two different teams in my opinion.

Dude, you can’t ignore the transitive properties of the world.

Your friend doesn’t understand the transitive property – the correct answer is 23

Why should the Jazz win? They were 3-4 WITH Derron, who was their best player.

they shouldn’t.

Made a mistake. The Jazz are 3-5. Figure the Sixers to win and maybe get a group of players going. They are much quicker than the Jazz.

Is anyone upset Andre Iguodala isn’t getting to the line as much? Or are we secretly happy because he’s a 60% free throw shooter now?

I’m upset cause it means he’s not recognized as an ‘important’ player yet in the NBA – the starts get crappy fouls all the time – and you need those to win

by jemagee on Nov 13, 2009 4:31 PM PST up reply actions

Well, he’s not driving as much as far as I can see, so it has nothing to do with calls or no calls yet.

Two players have not entered for the sixers yet: Brezec and Holiday. Hopefully jordan lets holiday play in the fourth, he cant do much damage when we are already down 92-69.

Not only is the Princeton Offense non-existent, but he’s ruined a pretty solid defensive team and his rotations are effing BS.

In this situation, there’s no reason to not play Holiday. I don’t think Eddie put a bad group out there, I think they didn’t play well, particularly on offense.
