Recap: Thad and company own Bulls in final Spectrum game

Box Score

Woooooooooooooo!

That pretty much sums it up for me. I took the liberty, no pun intended, to celebrate the Sixers win like a man last night. 

I was having a horrible day heading into the game. I got home 30 minutes late, but luckily, only missed the first six minutes of the game. I went in needing a win, needing an entertaining game, needing an energetic team and an energetic crowd to get me pumped for the remainder of the season. Well, that's exactly what I got.

Sure, it wasn't a flawless game. As a matter of fact it wasn't even close. But considering the circumstances, I don't care. I'm not even going to mention the horrible defensive rebounding, the bad perimeter defense which allowed the Bulls to get back in the game, or Lou-Will reverting back to his horrible play. For the next 24 hours, I've decided to just bask in the ambiance of my favorite game of the year.

I don't want to get too much into analysis of the game, but I do want to give a shout out to a few people.

  • The crowd - They were fantastic.
  • Sam Dalembert - He followed his best game of the season with an even better one. If he plays anything like this for the rest of the season, the Sixers are in good shape.
  • Thaddeus Young - For the first time all season, I felt like we had an unstoppable force on offensive. I felt like every time Thad touched the ball he was going to score. Big props to the kid for working on his shot mid-season. It's definitely paid off. "Baby Legs" is going to be a stud, a flat-out stud. Tonight assured it.
  • Marreese Speights - The most exciting Sixer. The oops he throws down on a nightly basis are incredible.
  • The Andres - Typical Andre games from the both of 'em. Gotta love it.
Celebrate ladies and gentlemen. Last night was both a glimpse into the past, and into the future, and I liked what I saw. I love me some Sixers.

Next up is Miami tomorrow morning. It's a very important game, because of the playoff implications, and the fact that it's the last home game before the west coast trip. A win tomorrow night could put the Sixers only one game behind Miami for the fifth seed. Until then, watch these highlights over, and over, and over again. They're so beautiful!

I'm trying to decide.

If I should watch Miami’s game with Utah, play some 2k, do some research for fantasy baseball or do homework. My life’s amazing.

I might check it out.

I wish I recorded last night’s game. I want to watch it again.

it legit looked like an old game on tv too

I think it’s great to end the spectrum with a win unlike they ended it before…. was anyone else as surprised as i was when rose tried to take it up on dalembert with 10 seconds left which would give the sixers the last shot

What homework do you have?

This is the worst time of year for a college basketball fan in college :)

I really wish I could take Thursday and Friday off next week…ah well.

Don’t forget to make your picks today :)

Blocked shots — they look great, but unless you secure the ball afterward, you haven’t helped your team all that much.

I barely got 'em in before the Heat game.

I have to catch up on my math homework online, and write a speech convincing people that Tupac is still alive.

And you don’t forgot to join the MM Pool. It was your idea haha.

Yeah but I suck at picking college basketball – so i’ll lose :) I might join just so i can track standings (which sucks that you can’t see how folks are doing without being a member of a league).

Please tell me that speech topic wasn’t your idea :)

What math are you taking? Math is easy.

I’m thinking of doing a ‘tourney bracket’ for the nba playoffs – what do you think?

1. I haven’t watched a single college basketball game all year. It’s all luck anyway. You have to join.

2. The speech topic was definitely my idea.

3. Math is not easy.

4. Absolutely to the bracket. Me and my buddy usually do it informally every year anyway. It was awesome when I picked GS over Dallas that one year — still one of my favorite playoff series of all-time.

My advice is to not worry about making picks for how long the series goes (5,6,7 games). That gets way too confusing, and it’s way hard to predict.

Im actually in the Miami area visiting my pop over spring break and had no idea they were playig each other til just now. Today was the first day I got internet access since monday so im catching up on everything. I’ll probably watch some of the game but will likely be on the beach since its my last day here Maybe ill find a bar by the beach and watch the end or something.

P.S.

Go Owls…back to back A-10 ’chips for Temple in a conference that has quietly been growing very strong the past couple years.

I kinda wish my break was a different week so I couldve gone to A.C. for the tourney and some poker. Florida>jersey shore though
