3-2 Flyers...
my heart is stopping. I will be worn out by the time the Sixers start.

Why you should donate to a charity.
And I planned on it, but I had to research my charity since I never heard.
I'm a charity
donate to me. Like many college students, I am in great need. Mostly because I spend my little $$ on wendys.

I said most of the season that Orlando was the best in the East (or just slightly behind Cleveland), but I think we will give Orlando far more trouble than Detroit will Cleveland. It’s matchups.

Its still weird to me watching with you guys with different broadcasts...
I get Zumoff, Salmi, and Leslie Gudel doing sideline stuff every game inclusing this one
I wanted to say something about the "magic number
We were winning the game I was at when they shot 37 3s i beleive while they were shooting poorly from 3 and Howard was in foul trouble.
Then Lee hit a few and they took the lead and held it. We were 0-3, but two of those game really came down to the wire
this is true… but reggie evans is nowhere close

One sucks less than the other (warning, my a key is acting funny – it’s not always responding and I don’t always notice)
"Someone created the box score," Morey says, "and he should be shot."
Blocked shots — they look great, but unless you secure the ball afterward, you haven’t helped your team all that much.

I have an eyelash in my eye.
And it’s really bugging me. I’m probable for the remainder of the series.
yeah mezzanine corners
the same ones that were $10 for almost all the regular season games. it is ridiculous, but no one really cares about the sixers
Yes Dwight – tht was a foul on you – I saw it from my couch in California – yes it was a big push

if they'll be more hesitant to drive the lane since there's a shot blocking presence
by Michael Levin on Apr 19, 2009 3:11 PM PDT up reply actions
Yeah – like I said – nonsense – these aren’t wussy college / street players, these are NBA players who think they can beat anyone and at home they’re going to get the foul as often as the block

true, but you can’t disregard the fact that a player would be more hesitant to drive on Theo than on Miller. It alters the shot if its in their head. Just because they’re in the NBA doesn’t mean they can’t get rattled.
by Michael Levin on Apr 19, 2009 3:16 PM PDT up reply actions
I think the ‘rattled’ effect is greatly over valued by fans in the NBA thus part of the reason blocks are over valued. Again, easily rattled guys don’t last long in the NBA

Is it just me
Or are the Magic getting a couple calls in there favor? Because I swear that some of those balls taht went out of bounds by our hoop was off of them
Someone want to guard COurtney Lee?

Against a team like the sixers that thrives in the transition and sucks at the half court offense – I consider that a ‘positive’ block since it forces them into a less productive situation.

first half is worthless
is we come out flat in the 3rd
by chillicothe20 on Apr 19, 2009 3:43 PM PDT up reply actions
Sorry, I'm here now...
missed all but the last 6 minutes of the first half. On the other hand, I got those 6 minutes in HD.
Yes. Let's.
I have been almost falling asleep during half.

Two impressive stats there...
just 1-7 3PT for the Magic, and that they’re only up by 4 in points in the paint. But Dwight’s killing as expected.
i meant “if” not is, but my point remains
by chillicothe20 on Apr 19, 2009 4:15 PM PDT up reply actions
What is it with Florida playoff teams and obnoxious noisemakers?
The Rays’ cowbells in the World Series, and now these clapper things for the Magic.
We need to step up
If we put everything we have into this game and win, we can stand to lose game 2.
it's amazing what can happen
when donny-ice sees the floor (or it could be that dwight wasn’t on the floor)
Everyone see how excited Speights was there?
He’s loving this. but based on what he did earlier in the game, let’s let him enjoy it from the bench.
wow that was over the backboard
that’s some home court call that there is no cahnce we get in games 3 and 4
And Miller and Iguodala are getting ZERO calls.
They’re the most aggressive players on the court, and you’re telling me they’ve only combined for 2 free throws? Garbage.
But Orlando has also been defending cleanly and well.
The refs don’t owe the Andres anything for being aggressive. They call the fouls they see. I reject any assertion that the refs have a conscious agenda.
see “laker vs. kings game 6 (i forget what year)”…. you will retract that statement…. however i do agree that they don’t seem to this game

I haven’t been around here in a while (well, comment wise) but the way they’ve played in the fourth warrants comment.

Or at least one part of it. And that part happens to be an important part right now.

Possible Devin Harris redux here....
Will be a second plus to go the whole court…
You know what.
This game regardless of the outcome is a deserved slap to the face of those experts who feel as if this series is a joke.
Proud to be a 76er!

At the half
I’m eager to see what they say about us

So...
1. Flyers crush the Penguins
2. Phillies win on a walkoff HR by Ibanez
3. Sixers win on a late Iguodala jumper
A great day in Philadelphia sports.

also orlando don’t want to BUMP HEADS with us!!!!
I can’t believe they won – honestly I gave up in the 3rd and stopped watching – turned back to see Howards dunk to make it 98-95 – and I just checked the score – pretty impressive they won – i must say I didn’t expect it – glad to be proven wrong.

DIpped in balsamic vinegar and then spiced – but cooked too long – burned em – oh well back to the drawing board

11/20 FT shooting
Inexcusable. If we keep shooting like that, this still will be lost in 5.
Well that’s not really likely to happen again is it?
