This isnt good. They probably know out offense better than we do!

From Fagans Twitter…
Caron Butler out tonight w/ a sore right ankle. Wizards start Arenas, Young, Jamison, Oberto, and Haywood.
My fantasy team, which was autodrafted, is the fantasy basketball equivilant of the NY Mets…Caron, Redd, Eric Gordon, Troy Murphy got hurt and everyone else sucks.
Whats the O/U on how many points Arenas drops on Lou…40? Or maybe Lou guards Young and Iguodala gets him.

Also, you know they will be fired up. They could use an emotional win tonight to honor their owner

Sam actually looks pretty decent so far. I’m pleasantly impressed with the best few minutes of basketball I think I’ve ever seen him play.

The thing about the sixers which currently impedes them from being a “good” basketball team is just that. They are not a team, and do not play as a team. They pass not to get a good shot or make the defense work, they only pass out of necessity. Defensively, they switch or stay with their man at random, often leaving people wide open, everyone unsure who they’re supposed to be covering.
This issue lies with the coach, something that must get resolved if any good is to come out of this season.

Sigh…such a shame, it was a short stretch, maybe it is just the getting into game shape thing…those couple games give us hope.

Jordan takes out Lou and Sammy in favor of Green and Carney and starts running the PO more. I know its been repeated ad nauseum, but Willie Green is not good at basketball. It baffles me how coaches continue to ignore this fact.

The pace of this game is frenetic. Still a lot of missed shots. Evidently no one is watching.

Alright nice half. Sam and Willie did some tremendously stupid things, to be expected, but also some decent ones. Can’t complain. Don’t like the lineups — Willie, Kapono, and Dalembert should not be on the court at the same time. Recipe for a ten point swing the other way.

To EJordan for inserting Jrue in the 4th. Even if he put him in to ruin him, Jrue is doing it all so far.

not exactly a long shot, considering the wording was taken right from the above comment
and the tongue was pretty firmly planted in cheek, even though the sentiment was very much on the ball.
human beings, who are almost unique in their ability to learn from the experiences of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.

i need a drive there. no excuse not to go to the basket then maybe kick it out for an open look. by the way where the hell were you tonight? I was trying to do my best jsams impression, although jrue probably got everybody more involved than I did

well a drive would’ve been nice, and i would’ve preferred an earlier shot so they could foul and have another chance, but I can live with Lou shooting that. I would’ve hated it if it was Andre.

Lou and Jrue
I want to see that more. And god help me if Willie plays more than Jrue after that game. I know Jrue plays better in a fast-paced style like tonight, but he still brings a lot of intangibles that Willie or any other backup guard does not.

Tough loss to take
but with Jrue’s performance, and the comeback without a struggling Andre Iguodala, this will surely turn EJ’s head… just in time for boston tomorrow!
Play Jrue for under ten minutes (9:40) and he gets 11 points, 6 boards (4off), 2 steals, 1 assist and 1 block (on Jamison!!!), and the team loses by 1.
Play Jrue for more than 10 min and who knows what can happen! This kid had a ridiculous game, and hopefully EJ has realized that he’s the real deal NOW, and not 2 years from now.
Oh, and Sammy D— you play well for that trade! Heck if he plays like that every night, we should think about resiging him!
