I'm not going to get into too much detail here. From the second quarter on we were too busy setting records in the game thread to focus on the game. 386 comments is a career-high for us, so thanks to everyone who took part. We had a ton of different conversations. Amongst them were, seducing older women, hot girls intelligence, drive-in theaters, colon cleanses, Boys II Men, and the future of the Sacramento Kings. I strongly recommend checking them out if you weren't there. I assume it would be pretty entertaining to read in retrospect.
For the game itself, it was pretty relaxing. The Sixers controlled the first three quarters with ease. The Kings made a run in the fourth quarter, but the Sixers squashed their comeback hopes quickly.
Some peeps won't be too happy with the Sixers second-half defense against a 15-win team, but I'm going to cut them some slack. They're a young team. They're on the road. They have a big matchup tomorrow night. They had a 26-point lead at the half. It's extremely hard for an inconsistent, inexperienced team to come out of the locker room focused with all these things factored in. Bottom line is I'll take a 12-point win any night, especially on the road.
Even when the Kings made it interesting, it never seemed realistic that they'd actually come back and win the game. For those of us who watched the entire game, let's not complain about the defense. Nobody's perfect. I say, let's just enjoy probably the most relaxing 48 minutes of basketball we've had this season.
That said, there were a few things that irritated me tonight -- nothing new however. M16's defense needs improvement. Willie Green and Samuel Dalembert still suck, and make me want to throw my remote through the TV. Thad Young is still sub-par at running the fast break. And possibly the most irritating thing of all -- Lou-Will's jump passes. He only had one tonight, but he was 90 feet from the basket when he decided to pull out his patented move. Unforgivable.
That's all I have for tonight. Good win. I've learned after the Lakers game that momentum means absolutely nothing with this team. We have a big matchup tomorrow night in Portland -- one of my favorite matchups of the season. There's no telling whether we'll get blown out or witness another Iguodala buzzer-beater. That's what makes it fun.
Now, I'm off to write my Tupac speech. He's still alive. If you're interested, read some of these conspiracy theories.

Glad you mentioned the jump pass attempt by Lou. That was ridiculous.

i wouldve been involved in the game thread last night but...
why is there no mobile comments

Mobile comments are difficult to integrate in general – they’d have to write an entire ‘second’ site for mobile viewing – unless you have an iphone – it’s difficult but you can post from an iphone to the ‘regular’ site

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

oh yeah thats what i have (well ipod touch)
didnt really look to switch to the regular site too hard tho and i dont know much about programming
i wanted to add to a few things from last night too:
I love R&B and Boyz II Men, but 112 is my favorite
Hook is my gfs favorite movie, and Goldberg wears a Drexel shirt in D3 in one scene, so he represents philly with that along with the Flyers sweatshirt
Blake is nasty, and his parents are a funny couple. Nothing beats the lopez twins parents though, or at least their mom

I don’t have a ‘top 5’ movies – it’s too hard to do a top 5 – you gotta give me subcategories
Hook would make my ‘top 5 bad movies’ – i.e. bad movies i love – probably
So would hackers, empire records

I don’t consider Hook a bad movie. My favorite “bad” movie would most definitely be Army of Darkness.

Oh I consider it a bad movie in the ‘it wasn’t bad on purpose’ movie – it tried to be something more than it was
Army of Darkness is brilliant for what it was meant to be
But I’m a movie (and tv) geek – hence why the top 5 is hard to make

Off the top of my head I'd go...
Dumb and Dumber, Mrs. Doubtfire, Hook, Home Alone and Rocky IV.
Now clearly, these aren’t the best movies I’ve ever seen, but they’re five movies I could watch over, and over, and over, and over again. That’s the main thing I consider when choosing my top 5.
