Sixers @ Knicks game thread

Philadelphia 76ers at New York Knicks, Mar 19, 2010 4:30 PM PDT


Another must-lose game tonight. It's a rematch of Monday's loss against the Knicks, except this time it's in their place. Fortunately, the Sixers win over the Nets didn't hurt the them too much in the lottery standings. I can't say the same if they win tonight - it's a critical match-up against another lottery opponent. 

Lottery Team Record GB
10 Clippers 26-43 3.5
9 Knicks 24-44 2
8 Sixers 24-44 2
7 Pistons 23-45 1
6 Kings 23-45 1
5 Wizards 21-45 --
4 Pacers 22-46 --

There are also some winnable games for our competition tonight. The Kings host the Bucks and the Pacers and Pistons meet in Indiana. If the Sixers lose they're guaranteed to gain ground on either the Pistons or the Pacers.

Go Sixers!

Thad is out, Speights is out. Jordan to start Jrue, Willie, Iguodala, Brand, and Dalembert. Sweet Lou is playing, but not starting.

I think Lou is being punished for his comments in the paper – he hurt eddies feelings

Has anyone mentioned that Bill Green IS a great shooting guard but for the opposition!

Agree, this is not a good start. Bill needs to shoot more along w/ AI9 from the 3 point line!

If Bill takes 40 shots tonight, I predict a win. Make it happen Eddie

G-Tech Ok state. in philly they just switched to that from the dook game. watch for Lawal, Favors and Anderson. Also check out Iman Shumpert. In a year or two I think the kids a pro.

by Michael Levin on Mar 19, 2010 4:53 PM PDT up reply actions  

You know – ever G-Tech game i watched this year was a pain in the ass cause lawal gets SO many more touches than favors

Is Lawal really a prospect?

are you interested in prospects in general or just sixers prospects?

In general

Yeah he’s Pat Patterson-lite. Maybe a better rebounder but worse instincts and not much of a jumpshot.

by Michael Levin on Mar 19, 2010 4:56 PM PDT up reply actions  

i’d say not much of a jumpshot is too kind – whenever i watch them the defense plays about 4 feet off of him – and he can’t make a free throw to save his life

by Tanner Steidel on Mar 19, 2010 4:58 PM PDT up reply actions  

I like him so I was being nice. He’s also the only Gani I know — similar to my love for Ekpe. And Tweety. And Lacedarius. On second thought, maybe I just like Baylor.

I remember reading that similar to at UCLA, his jumper was a work in progress. It’s gotta be something he’s worked on this year. Credit to Eddie? I’ll just give it all to Mckie.

i like how ford (i think) says it’s hard to evaluate favors b/c of his guards and now everyone and their mom is saying it.

I think the reason we have a relatively low readership is because of our antics. While some people come solely for that, the people that don’t get it decide its not worth their brainpower.
