Damn
Apparently I won’t be able to watch tonight’s game. I have a sick dog and a mom’s birthday to deal with. Carry the game-thread without me! And someone do a recap. Please?
I’ll be checking in later tonight.
Peace.

if we lose this game
I’m going to consider going on a nice long drinking binge.

need a liberty ballers drinking game
every time zumoff says “unfinished business” or “down it goes” could start the list.

i would think about writing a recap
but i probably will switch to heroes at 9 because of the 7:30 start and since the sixers havent been earning my loyalty
I went to the Suns game before the break and bought tickets to this weekends Magic game, which I now wish I hadn’t. Hopefully, I’ll be pleasantly surprised and they will give us some hope if we end up with the 6th seed and not the 5th.
They have done a good job of erasing hope for the 4th seed though

Even if it's a brief recap, or only a first half recap, it's better than nothing.
They way the team is playing right now reminds me of how frustrating they were earlier in the season with Cheeks.

if the game is interesting enough I’ll post my thoughts on everything I watch.

embarrasing Yi, much like the start of the miami game before the break when he blew by udonis

willie loves to start off hot against bad teams and drop double digits in the 1st\
hopefully the sixers keep it up this time

Green
with 7 of our first 9 points? Wow. You’re lying if you say you saw that coming.

i gotta agree with jmorcate
willie can the ability to score….in the first quarter. Shit, he dropped 17 on the pistons in the playoffs in the 1st half
by SexualTyrannosaurus on Feb 23, 2009 4:49 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
yeah it is the good trend he has sometimes. maybe thats what is enough to keep him in the starting lineup, combined with Iggys struggles at the 2 under Cheeks. Thats also an example of doing it against a good team.
If I was playing against the Sixers, I would fade off Willie to start off the game too and make him prove he can make a couple

I think Dalembert may be taking it on himself to outplay Lopez. He may be making a statement that he deserved not to be traded also. Although he comes out and says that too

we don't owe Sammy shit
he’s been here for how long? 6-7 years at least. And he’s only gotten marginally better despite making a shit load of money. I think we’ve given him plenty of time to develop a CONSISTENT game

although that was a bad call, Harris clearly lowered his shoulders

yes, not ok
its usually the 2nd or 3rd.
series of runs are normal for basketball games tho especially when it comes to this 6ers team because of their style of play and streaky shooting

Important: Rec' this comment.
The coming weeks will be very important for the blog. I’m going to need some help, whether it be as much as contributing a few posts here and there, to as little as being a moderator. There’s no real requirements for either one. We’ll just see how it goes. You can even be a designated YouTube clip man/woman.
If your interested in helping out a little bit, or just interested in general, e-mail me tonight… or hit me up on Facebook. I can’t tell you guys too much right now, but I’d love to discuss some things.

Well yeah – but what kind of interests do you have – I mean the Harry Potter books are excellent for all ages but if you don’t like the sword sorcery /wizardy thing it’s not your cup of tea – if you like the ‘religious conspiracy thing’ i got some good recommendations that aren’t dan brown – i got straight fiction – science fiction – light fiction – deep fiction – gotta get an idea what you like -
if you like sports and haven’t read em, try moneyball, try the blind side – both by michael lewis – excellent books
the wages of wins is good too but really stats heavy
as a basketball fan who likes to analyze the game – if you haven’t read basketball on paper by dean oliver your cheating yoruself

Try Christopher Moore – very funny guy – bloodsucking fiends – you suck (sequel) – a dirty job – the stupidest angel.
Steven Berry and Raymond Houry write in the dan brown genre – but much better and more original than Brown (all dan brown story lines have the same storylines)
My gf iis a big mystery fan – she loves charles todd.
If you can handle it – tom clancy wrote some AMAZING novels back in the day….dave barry is supposedly funny – if you like a little kid directed humor with an environmentalist bent – check out a book called hoot

My generation grew up with so much tv and video games as well – but then again my generation grew up during the generational inflection point.
The big problem – and i’m sure they were good – is parents and schoolls don’t make kids read as much – they are really to blame for people not reading as much

Just finished Khoury’s latest – can’t wait for the new dresden book – um christopher moores fool – i’m trying to save money and wait for paperbacks but SO HARD -

yeah, that's a very funny book
i highly recommend Good Omens by Neil Gaimen and Terry Pratchett, sounds like it would be right up your alley
The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss is an amazing book, especially if you’re a Potter fan, it’s a much more mature version. Same with Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell
by SexualTyrannosaurus on Feb 23, 2009 6:54 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
I have read Good Omens 3 or 4 times in my life already
If i could pick only one writer to read the rest of my life it would be neil gaimen – he’s a friggin genius – i’m glad people are seeing coraline if only to read more gaimen.
I have jonathan strange and mr norrell – it’s just SO LONG and i still never read quicksilver or the rest of the baroque cycle.
Lamb is very funny but it’s also one of the most touching books i ever read.

Read the ‘sequel’ (not really a sequel but same world) Anansi Boys – even if you aren’t a comic book fan – check out ‘sandman season of mists’ (lucifer gives up hell and someone has to replace him)
Gaiman is amazing – if you like gaiman – try some Garth Nix – a little younger – but good

I’ve read the hyperion cantos (it’s four books) and i’ve read the footprint (i think) of god – simmons is a stunning writer too – can write all genres pretty well (i think he wrote true evil too didn’t he – cool mystery book)
The only thing i’ll say – if you didn’t like the canterbury tales you might not like hyperion

Non-Fiction, history mostly.
Some literature. Vonnegut and Ellison are some of my favorites.
I also love science fiction. Particularly Ursula K. LeGuin and Philip K. Dick.
Just chiming in.

So – I’m thinking i lost interest in the nba season as i realized my site doesn’t work like the way i want it to – the pickem game idea isn’t so hot – and I have a LOT of work to do in the off season – hell i gotta start now – to make this site viable

i keep forgetting
two obvious suggestions that you’ve probably heard:
1. can still pick after the first game of the night
2. pick games for multiple nights
by jsams on Feb 23, 2009 6:44 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
1. I fixed that – check your emails :) I fixed that yesterday – you can now pick games that haven’t started yet
2. Yeah – i know – i build the databases wrong and have to figure out how to fix it so people don’t pick twice for the same game – and write error handling properly :)

female refs sucks
I used to shout “THIS ISN’T THE WNBA” every time a female ref made a bad call, and i was in the 5th row too, so i know she heard it
by SexualTyrannosaurus on Feb 23, 2009 6:46 PM PST reply actions 0 recs
Do female refs make bad calls any more often than male refs – or do they get more grief about it because of the homophobia deeply seeded in most basketball players that causes them to treat women like crap?

no, i think they tend to call soft fouls and not let the players play more than anything else
it slows down the game and is really annoying
