If the sixers play defense they will win since the warriors do not believe in anything called Defense.
Wonder
if it’s
1) Eddie Jordan trying crap again
2) Tonight’s matchup against GSW
3) Preparing team for Lou Will’s return with 1 legitimate big man
As a Brand fan, I would have liked to have seen Elton get the start tonight at center. For crying out loud, it’s Mikki Moore.

I disagree
I believe this will be #13 of the losing streak. I also wasted my ticket tonight again, not worth paying for parking and bridge tolls to see Eddie Jordan lose another game.
I think being able to heckle Sam Dalembert for sucking in such a cavernous arena would be fun…

Who thinks they snap their losing streak tonite! Id say 50 /50 shot!!
Wont matter though! We are just a bad team with an HORRENDOUS coach!!
"... You play to win the game. Hello? You play to win the game. You don't play it to just play it. That's the great thing about sports: you play to win..."
Looks like I wont be able to watch the game!
Well this is just BS. I swear, if we win and I dont get to witness it..ahh BS!
"... You play to win the game. Hello? You play to win the game. You don't play it to just play it. That's the great thing about sports: you play to win..."
Imagine that
Brand comes in and right away shows that GSW can’t guard him.

Jrue
Is a great on-ball defender already, it’s amazing. If he gets better at team defense he’ll be a stud all around on the defensive end.
Sixers get to play a different style of basketball tonight, and should win easily, since the Sixers love to run and force turnovers. They shouldn’t run out of gas tonight since they don’t have to work too hard to get their shots and don’t need to work too hard defending the Warriors.
Brand was out simply because Eddie wanted a running game and thought Brand + Dalembert would be too slow. This is one game where it doesn’t matter, Thad is a better rebounder than anyone on GS.
Thad is a horrible rebounder which makes that kind of funny
Ad the sixers will most likely blow this game in the third quarter

Golden State is really a farm team. They can’t compete against any team that has inside scorers. All they do is shoot from the outside and try to steal the ball.
Note I didn’t say Thad was a good rebounder, simply better than anyone on GS. It is funny, but it’s also pretty sad. Thad is also a better scorer than anyone on GS, against that defense he’s all the post up offense you need!
The warrios have a better roster than the sixers, just a worse coach
He who lives in shit houses

Keep in mind ricko also thinks he knows what he’s talking about.
How many injured players were the Warriors missing tonight?
How many injured head coaches?
How many games had they played on their east coast road trip.
HOW GOOD IS JRUE HOLIDAY

Jrue
My man crush for him grows by the minute.
AI and Jrue
i really liked the looks of the AI and Jrue starting backcourt. the pace of the game is so much better
it’s a good thing monta didn’t mess with jrue’s psyche (sorry i had to)

Mikki Moore messed with Elton’s psyche — that’s why Eddie didn’t start him

Man this stinks...I can't watch my team pull out a win! Ahhh
Member when AI (original) said that “I was tellin the guys, when we get DO get that win, it will be one of the toughest games we have to play!” Hmm…lookn at the score, doesn’t look to tough!!
"... You play to win the game. Hello? You play to win the game. You don't play it to just play it. That's the great thing about sports: you play to win..."
Bench
What a difference it makes when your bench contributes more than nothing.
How about Brand 11 pts. and 6 boards in 16 min. He could have had 30 and 20 tonight if Eddie gave him the minutes.
As long as we’re controlling the pace, I don’t give a rat’s ass. Busting teams by pounding it inside is something that good teams do. Ride Brand and let him give you 25 a night and then tell me how that hurts the Sixers. We know how to run, we just need to make teams more scared to play us in the halfcourt. That means Brand and Speights and even Dalembert, posting up, drawing fouls, passing for easy outside shots.
wait – what does it mean when the sixers have more points than the other team to end a game? i have not seen this situation before it’s puzzling me
i think that means that we have a higher draft lottery pick???? hmm idk u got me too
eff you we winning anyway
Perfect Storm
EJ got to play against a midget team missing key bigs and their coach at the very end of a long losing road trip. Hence, +33 on the glass and an easy win. Still gave up 50% from deep, so no schematic fix to point towards. Jordan was lucky enough to find the one team his squad can bully while playing small and who reinforced that by running out of gas in the 3rd.
Good points, particularly how the Sixers stopped scoring at the same clip once the third quarter rolled around. Even with their bigs we would have bullied them, Brand is a genuine wide-body.
Can’t worry too much about the three’s the Warriors shoot 90% of their shots from outside and you can’t cover them all. More concerned about the free throws, how do they get to shoot more when they play outside and the Sixers score inside?
The Sixers stopped driving in the 2nd half. And their 1st half scoring was spearheaded by a guy whose offensive moves are predicated on getting avoiding the defense, not going through it. Plus, Dre wasn’t getting calls when he drove anyway.
That being said, Jordan’s emphasis on the mid-range game vs Mo’s commitment to attacking the paint at all costs really is the difference. Mo’s approach reminded me somewhat of John Chaney and Larry Brown, who were the 1st coaches I really can recall who regularly discussed the goal of making more free throws then the opponent attempted.
Jordan, OTOH, likes his shots from 15 ft to come from the field, not the line
LOL
you ALWAYZ want ur team to win..but….Was it Worth It??!
"... You play to win the game. Hello? You play to win the game. You don't play it to just play it. That's the great thing about sports: you play to win..."
Love the Win
But the way I see it..the Warriors just potentially screwed us on a better ping pong pick! Ha
"... You play to win the game. Hello? You play to win the game. You don't play it to just play it. That's the great thing about sports: you play to win..."
Don’t get excited – it’s a really bad tired injured team…
