Around SBN: NFL Week One: Previews and Predictions for all 15 games

Magic @ Sixers game thread

Orlando Magic at Philadelphia 76ers, Mar 1, 2010 4:00 PM PST


Update: Elton Brand is out. Thaddeus will start.

This season is probably the worst I've endured as a sports fan. Most of you have been right here with me, so no need to write another thousand word 'whoa is me' rant. With 58 games in the books, I'm ready to wrap it up and move to the off-season. Unfortunately, we can't just fast forward through the last 24 games, so we have find something to keep us interested. Right now it's the lottery standings:

Lottery Team Record GB
10 Clippers 24-35 4
9 Sixers 22-36 2.5
8 Wizards 21-36 2
7 Pistons 21-38 1
6 Knicks 20-38 0.5
5 Pacers 20-39 --
4 Kings 20-39 --

Tonight we play the Magic. I see another loss in our future. Normally I'm excited to see how Jrue does against the opposing point guard, but Jrue Holiday v. Jameer Nelson doesn't really do it for me. I don't know what excites me -- if anything -- about tonight's game. Maybe how Speights does if he plays against Howard?

I'll be watching on DVR, and it's the perfect game (no homework, don't have to wake up early, nothing good on TV, etc.) to track things like Jrue and Lou's defense, so i'll do just that. If you're interested in anything else, like how many contested jumpers Iguodala takes, post your requests in the comments. Just make sure any requests are in by 4:30.

Also keep an eye on our lottery friends: Knicks @ Cavs and Jazz @ Clippers.

Happy Tuesday.

Go Sixers.

Predicted Loss

by jemagee on Mar 1, 2010 3:19 PM PST reply actions  

Not watching this one, going to play basketball myself. The Student Pavilion at Temple plays better basketball than the 76ers. I’ll be back in time to see the final quarter (maybe) and to see how terribly the sixers are getting smacked.

OH and i want to know how many times you can see eddie jordan’s braces. and I want to know how many times Speights looks down on himself and his game.

This from kate fagan

At Wachovia: Elton testing right calf now. Game-time decision. Both Willie Green and Jason Smith available. Thad will start if Elton out.

Yahoo lists thad as starter.

Another guard is available – less minutes for Jrue

This game is on NBA TV

Makes it more likely the sixers will lose

not that there’s anything wrong with that

by Tanner Steidel on Mar 1, 2010 4:15 PM PST up reply actions  

I still enjoy watching the games, especially on NBATV.

by Jordan Sams on Mar 1, 2010 4:20 PM PST reply actions  

WHen did Jrue Holiday learn to shoot the 3?

by jemagee on Mar 1, 2010 4:21 PM PST reply actions  

He’s been shooting the 3 well lately.

by Jordan Sams on Mar 1, 2010 4:22 PM PST up reply actions  

And his eFG% on threes this year is 53.6%. That’s pretty dang good.

Huh. I’m not sure that makes sense

by jemagee on Mar 1, 2010 4:24 PM PST up reply actions  

K, off to statistics. Wish me luck on test #2. I got 100% on my first one.

by Jordan Sams on Mar 1, 2010 4:21 PM PST reply actions

by Tanner Steidel on Mar 1, 2010 4:24 PM PST reply actions

by Tanner Steidel on Mar 1, 2010 4:31 PM PST reply actions

Worst Coach Ever

Eddie Jordan is the worst coach i have ever seen. this game has make me completely realize this and that there is no way anyone can be worse. no real explaination why he just is.

by jallstarzz13 on Mar 1, 2010 6:01 PM PST reply actions  

they got pounded. big surprise. who predicted that they would go 4-1? they’re on their way!

by packimop on Mar 1, 2010 6:20 PM PST reply actions  

So did not watch but only guy with a plus in the +/- Jrue with a +3. Great game for him but Nelson went off too.

by fantasybc88 on Mar 1, 2010 6:25 PM PST reply actions  

He is a PG, it is not his job to get rebounds. I’d like to more FTs but still dropped 23 in 29 minutes

by fantasybc88 on Mar 1, 2010 7:13 PM PST up reply actions  

Unfrotunately, and it’s a trend I was told, not just something I saw in the Lakers game, even when he’s on the court, Lou’s bringing up the ball 50% off the time or so.

by jemagee on Mar 1, 2010 7:19 PM PST up reply actions  

They held them to 24 pts!!!

in the 4th qtr,

Wasn’t tonight “Elton Brand” night at the Wachovia center? Fitting that he was out injured for that…

by JasonB on Mar 1, 2010 9:16 PM PST reply actions  

awesome… EB will not travel with team to ATL because of achillies tendinitis (safe to assume it’s the same one he ruptured? yikes)

by Tanner Steidel on Mar 1, 2010 9:22 PM PST reply actions  

According to tom moore i’ts the other foot
