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:

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.

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

not that there’s anything wrong with that

And his eFG% on threes this year is 53.6%. That’s pretty dang good.
Huh. I’m not sure that makes sense

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.
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
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.

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