I wonder if we win tonight how all the “experts” are going to react. I haven’t seen anybody give us credit and people are still expecting us to get steamrolled in teh next 4 games.
PTI odds on Magic winning...
Mike: 60% (“Philly is on to something”)
Tony: 99% (pointed out other game upsets had opposite results in their gm 2’s)
to clarify, those odds were about game 2 only
not the series
99 still awfully high

Lots of oxygen being wasted on him too
and on Reggie
by chillicothe20 on Apr 22, 2009 4:36 PM PDT up reply actions
Reggie's energy is only good when the rest of the team has none.
That’s not the case tonight. Take him out.
5 TOs in the first is not good
and only two players scored…I’m happy with the tie

that was more of a charge
than the one on iggy….. gotta love when refs don’t know what they are calling
Our mistakes seem not to be biting us
as much as they should.
Will we clean things up before Orlando makes us pay dearly?
love the BS calls..
Thad’s block was good

Turk is playing some good D on Iggy
I like that Iggy is not forcing shots though

how wbout having some more TOs?

by Ricky - Sixers4guidos on Apr 22, 2009 5:10 PM PDT reply actions
If we can trim the TOs in the 2nd half
we can keep this from getting away.
by chillicothe20 on Apr 22, 2009 5:19 PM PDT up reply actions
Considering how this game has gone
I’m not terribly impressed with the way the Magic are playing and yet the Sixers are still losing.
If they could hit a few shots and have any sort of offensive consistency and stop turning the ball over, they would be ahead by quite a few.
Miller on pace to even Ben Gordon

Down 7 at half.
Obviously it’s disappointing, but the game is still there for the taking.
Iguodala, Lou, Willie, Sam (3 starters and our sixth man) have combined for…. 1 point.
that's why I think being down only 7 is a bargain
http://sixers4guidos.wordpress.com/
by Ricky - Sixers4guidos on Apr 22, 2009 5:20 PM PDT up reply actions
We were down 18 last time out...
7 is nothing.
Although, I would recommend not falling that far behind.
by chillicothe20 on Apr 22, 2009 5:22 PM PDT up reply actions
agree
I think he was smart enough not to force shots, he took only three. they played good D on him

they aren’t bad at all i can live with them…. however i miss zumoff
by Tanner Steidel on Apr 22, 2009 5:29 PM PDT up reply actions
Yeah. We can replicate Sunday's third.
But I’m not sure if we can replicate Sunday’s fourth again.
As impressive as game 1 was...
we can’t afford to go down by 18 again.
nice start of the second half..
Green is not only useless but even detrimental. and Sam is the usual idiot. F’k them both

It doesn't help when Bill can't play defense OR hit a wide open shot.
I don’t want to see him for the remainder of the game.
make it "the rest of the series"

ok so the rule is "every time someone touches Howard is a foul"?

by Ricky - Sixers4guidos on Apr 22, 2009 5:38 PM PDT reply actions
OK... down 18 now.
Is another comeback in order? Not sure I’m feeling it today.
it really says something
when the announcers for the OTHER TEAM are saying that he needs to sit and stop taking looks away from thad

let's get a handicapped 74 yr old in there
instead of green and i’m sure he’d do better

I heard a 92-year-old talk tonight.
He’d probably be better.
4th F, ehehehe

Why does this feel like the Magic are stealing this game?
I know they’re the better team, but for the most part, were pretty unimpressive to me tonight.
his problem is he sucks

We got our split in Orlando
Games 3 and 4 are home.
We should be taking this performance with a grain of salt.
if we play a half decent game 2nite we win by double digit
http://sixers4guidos.wordpress.com/

this was the game we had to win.
They played terrible and it was there for the taking. Now there will be a game where we play amazing but they will play even better.
We got the split
“We won one more game than everyone predicted we would.” – AI
Now let’s go get three more. We gave them a run for their money, and now we’ll get some home cooking. We were one amazing comeback away from being down 0-2 so let’s keep this in perspective.
good night Jordan & crew
the chat was fun, the game not really !! 3.30 AM here

After this game...
Although I didn`t see it, just looking at the box score I can see what the sixers need next year.
Yes, they need three point shooters, but beyond that they really need a reliable center. Theo does a good job at backup, but seriously, Sam Dalembert sucks monstrous testicles. He really pisses me off.
I agree with you both.
Where they gonna come from though. Hopefully the Bill Green situation is handled by Brand though — moving Iggy to the two.
