Sixers @ Heat - Selection Sunday? More Like Selection FUNDAY!

Philadelphia 76ers at Miami Heat, Mar 14, 2010 3:00 PM PDT


Though I'm writing this the day before, it is not hampering my rectum-tightening excitement for this game Selection Sunday.  Joy, heartbreak, excitement, pain.... it's like seeing the opera performed by Greg Gumbel.  For free!  I plan on filling out my own bracket before the Selection Committee comes out with theirs, so we'll see how I do compared to ol' Joe.  I recommend @DerekBodner does the same so we can compare penis size after the fact.  Also, join our Liberty Ballers March Madness Pool For Pride (LBMMPFP) at CBS Sportsline.

What'd you say?  Oh this is a Sixers blog?  I had no idea.

Sixers/Heat.  I predict a huge loss in light of how well (well?) they played against the Cavs.  Still impressed by 'Dre and hope he brings it again tonight, but I think the letdown of losing to LeBron despite Cleveland's lack of effort will result in another ping pong ball.  By the time you see this (I'm going all visionary here, don't piss yourself douchebags Lost fans <-- sbnation better not "expletive" that, I was referencing the cleansing device), the Wizards, Pistons, and Knicks will have beaten the Magic, Hawks, and Mavs (respectively).  And tonight (tomorrow for me) Indiana is at Milwaukee and Sacramento hosts Minnesota!!!  That's like money in the bank (Tanner whatchu drank?). 

(NEXT DAY UPDATE: Some of these things happened.  Oh and Tanner's got the recap tonight, treat him nice and click on his linkies)

Eh-knee-way, go Heat, go college basketball, and go Jay Bilas's comments about everybody's tremendous wingspan.

Out.

I’m here. I realized Sixers games start at X:11 instead of X:05, therefore I show up at X:10 instead of X:04.

Nah. I don’t follow the mid-majors enough. I always bomb out on picking bubble teams.

was that in reference to the penis comment? also, did you ever do that sporcle quiz?

Didn’t he put on the weight because EJ told him he was going to be playing center?

by The Legend on Mar 14, 2010 4:21 PM PDT up reply actions  

I think he put on weight when he got hurt the first time, and never lost it.

elton, stop screaming and 1 every time u touch the ball.

unrelated, but what’s the prize for winning the liberty ballers bracket? lol

ask mike bourn. i might do a fire eddie jordan pool soon. the prize for that will be an ‘i survived the eddie jordan era’ shirt.

Are we trying to win 40 games this year, or improve our chances for being a legit team down the road?

Give me Jrue, his struggles, and his development.

by Derek Bodner on Mar 14, 2010 4:09 PM PDT up reply actions  

depends. i like jrue, but if we’re trying to make the playoffs give me miller.

by Jordan Sams on Mar 14, 2010 4:10 PM PDT up reply actions  

ah miller woulda been a great mentor for him

He’s got McKie. Just because someone’s a good player doesn’t make them a good mentor. Many people have commented that Miller was fairly aloof.

Give me McKie + playing time for his development over Miller + bench any day of the week.

by Derek Bodner on Mar 14, 2010 4:22 PM PDT up reply actions  

I recently read somewhere that McKie is Holiday’s go to guy

Is Bill in the doghouse or injured? I just looked at the gamecast and I noticed Jason freaking Kapono went into the game before him. I am not complaining about it if that is what it sounds like it is just that Bill is usually one of the first ones off the bench and I was surprised by it.

by The Legend on Mar 14, 2010 4:18 PM PDT reply actions  

Meeks was the first dude off the bench. Youth movement + tanking = no green.

by Jordan Sams on Mar 14, 2010 4:21 PM PDT up reply actions  

a coach on the hot seat tanking?

i doubt it

by Davone_Is_BessT on Mar 14, 2010 4:26 PM PDT up reply actions  

I can only surmise that Jordan has been informed he won’t be back, and to toe the company line so he can finish out the season. Getting canned in-season looks worse.

by Derek Bodner on Mar 14, 2010 4:27 PM PDT up reply actions  

he’s fired. there’s no more hot seat.

by packimop on Mar 14, 2010 4:27 PM PDT up reply actions  

Well Kapono does give us a better chance to lose. I hope he doesn’t pick up his option for next year

by The Legend on Mar 14, 2010 4:30 PM PDT reply actions  

I am not sure? Do you think he would want to ride the bench again all next season? Because he would if he returns

by The Legend on Mar 14, 2010 4:34 PM PDT up reply actions  

he’ll never see 7 mil again in his life. yes he picks it up. i’d love to get paid 7 mil to be a practice player.

by packimop on Mar 14, 2010 4:35 PM PDT up reply actions  

There’s more chance I sleep with Megan Fox than Kapono doesn’t pick up his option.

by Derek Bodner on Mar 14, 2010 4:33 PM PDT up reply actions  

I AM megan fox if kapono doesnt pick up that option

by prideoux on Mar 14, 2010 4:36 PM PDT up reply actions  

ah remember when the heat went through the tanking process in 08

we were great at it 15 wins baby

might have been a totally different team if we did and drafted rose

Derek, what were your thoughts on Beasley when he came out?

by Jordan Sams on Mar 14, 2010 4:45 PM PDT reply actions  

Thought Rose was the clear-cut #1, and pretty easily. Didn’t see Beasley’s post game translating to the extent it did in college, and thought he’d be primarily a face-up pf. A face-up pf with limited shot-creation abilities for his teammates and average at best defense I didn’t feel was a franchise player.

That being said, I did still have him at #2.

I’ll see if I can find a link.

We got it to within 5 hopefully the Heat can go on a run or EJ takes out AI9

we can’t afford to win this game lol

Whatever happened to Meeks playing more?

70 games in and i still have no feel for the rotations.

EJ has a random generator he uses

by prideoux on Mar 14, 2010 5:12 PM PDT up reply actions  

lol the automatic bracket generator.

by Jordan Sams on Mar 14, 2010 5:13 PM PDT up reply actions  

On the gamecast it says he has only played 4

by The Legend on Mar 14, 2010 5:16 PM PDT up reply actions  

Hey guys,

I’ve been more or less MIA for the past week or 2. So aside from losing, EJ’s job security (LOL), and more or less our abysmal team….What else is new?

Yeah I caught that before I had a midterm.

I’ll get on that soon.

Kapono seems to have found his three point shot.

by Ben16 on Mar 14, 2010 5:23 PM PDT reply actions  

I agree. Just pointing it out

by Ben16 on Mar 14, 2010 5:26 PM PDT up reply actions  

Couldn’t hurt. As long as he doesn’t win us some games this year.

by Ben16 on Mar 14, 2010 5:29 PM PDT up reply actions  

i was sad to see kapono leave the heat

for us… he was one of those guys who NEVER missed an open shot. sucked at everything else but ALWAYS knocked down the open shot. and there were a lot of those with wade/shaq gettin in the paint

DO you realize that IF Jordan had not benched him, we would probably have more wins this year? Thankfully he did do that.

by DeanH on Mar 14, 2010 5:30 PM PDT up reply actions  

Should have been an offensive foul there.

by Ben16 on Mar 14, 2010 5:24 PM PDT reply actions  

I have watched 5 minutes, these umps are completely idiots. NO sense, none.

by DeanH on Mar 14, 2010 5:26 PM PDT reply actions  

I see no consistency on their calls. None. IMO. I guess you disagree!

he just wasn’t aware baseball season was underway

by prideoux on Mar 14, 2010 5:28 PM PDT up reply actions  

opps,

refs! Anyway, am I wrong on the overall thought?

by DeanH on Mar 14, 2010 5:29 PM PDT reply actions  

not sure. i try not to pay too much attention to the refs, especially when my team’s out of the playoffs.

by Jordan Sams on Mar 14, 2010 5:30 PM PDT up reply actions  

For what it is worth, Holiday drove twice to the hoop w/ contact, no fouls and Wade touched and he got the call. Yes, I know, superstar but not even close.

by DeanH on Mar 14, 2010 5:40 PM PDT up reply actions  

Sacramento should get a win tonight vs Minnesota.

There are 2 3 point “specialists” on the floor and who shoots the 3? IA9. Great for tanking!

by DeanH on Mar 14, 2010 5:33 PM PDT reply actions  

Why does Iguodala throw up a three when Kapono is out there as well as meeks (who is supposedly a shooter)?

by Ben16 on Mar 14, 2010 5:33 PM PDT reply actions  

I just question his thought process.

by Ben16 on Mar 14, 2010 5:34 PM PDT up reply actions  

um y r they intentionally fouling
