Heat @ Sixers: Try to Suck Harder

Miami Heat at Philadelphia 76ers, Apr 12, 2010 4:00 PM PDT


Listen, we're all still emotionally scarred from that win the other night and I'm just as confused as all of you as to why I wrote my recap as a rewording of the Gettysburg Address. That's not important. What is important is tonight's games.  Detroit hosts Toronto, Washington travels to New York, and the Clips and Kings are in action at home against the Mavs and Rockets. They still have a shot at the 3 seed, but that would require a Michael Bush 67-yard touchdown run against the Bucs in '08 to vault the Eagles into the playoffs for that to happen.  Or something similar.

If we win out, odds are we could steal a 6 seed.  But we MUST win out, otherwise we slide down past 7, which would definitely be a bad time.  Hopefully Dwyane and company come out to play tonight so this game is out of reach quickly.  Pray for some help from the other hapless (and Happless) teams out there and be sure to root against your Philadelphia 76ers in their final home game of the season.  Hopefully Eddie Jordan gets a lovely parting gift at the Wach. 

Some final notes, Jrue Holiday is just a shade under 45% from the field and exactly 40% from beyond -- it would be nice for him to keep those up to round out a tremendous rookie season.  Thread it here, I should be able to catch the end of the game after work.  Make magic happen boys.

I figured out what yo’ve been doing

Unfortunately your reverse black cat mojo fixing bombed against Memphis and no longer has the power you’re looking for

by jemagee on Apr 12, 2010 4:11 PM PDT up reply actions  

i know. i changed it from predictions, to rooting.

by Jordan Sams on Apr 12, 2010 4:13 PM PDT up reply actions  

iguodala shooting 48% after ASB btw.

by Jordan Sams on Apr 12, 2010 4:16 PM PDT reply actions  

Dude just sucks

by jemagee on Apr 12, 2010 4:16 PM PDT up reply actions  

imagine what i’d be if he wasn’t taking 3+ threes and shooting 29%.

by Jordan Sams on Apr 12, 2010 4:18 PM PDT up reply actions  

serious question. can jason kapono start for us next year?

by Jordan Sams on Apr 12, 2010 4:19 PM PDT reply actions  

i was wondering if we’re serious with him in the starting line up or if we are using him only due to injuries or if were show casing him for a possible off season trade.

by jallstarzz13 on Apr 12, 2010 5:46 PM PDT up reply actions  

Jason Kapono is not an NBA starter any more than Kyle Korver is

by jemagee on Apr 12, 2010 7:36 PM PDT up reply actions  

i really dislike kapono now, but might like him when i’m rooting for the team to win.

by Jordan Sams on Apr 12, 2010 4:23 PM PDT reply actions  

tony dileo to join zoom and easy ed in the second quarter. should be interesting.

by Jordan Sams on Apr 12, 2010 4:37 PM PDT reply actions  

i love dileo talking about the draft.

by Jordan Sams on Apr 12, 2010 4:41 PM PDT reply actions  

he’s confident the sixers will get a good player regardless of where they pick.

by Jordan Sams on Apr 12, 2010 4:41 PM PDT up reply actions  

doing a lot of scouting. says he and his team have been together for 7-8 years.

by Jordan Sams on Apr 12, 2010 4:42 PM PDT up reply actions  

sounds like he also feels there are only 3 superstars in this draft.

by Jordan Sams on Apr 12, 2010 4:44 PM PDT up reply actions  

He also hates Euros :)

And claims to have a list of 10 already – which worries me since they haven’t done interviews

3 super starts

So he doesn’t think cousins is one?

by jemagee on Apr 12, 2010 7:37 PM PDT up reply actions  

What he said (according to the other post) was that they could get a superstar if they can get into the top 3. He could think that there’s 4 or 5 superstars for all we know but they’re never getting the 4th or 5th pick.

by yosoysean on Apr 13, 2010 4:11 AM PDT up reply actions  

dileo says he’s not afraid to move up or move down.

by Jordan Sams on Apr 12, 2010 4:45 PM PDT reply actions  

That’s great tony – but you’re team sucks and has very few assets

by jemagee on Apr 12, 2010 7:38 PM PDT up reply actions  

dang, gotta go to school. i’m taping the rest of the game. dileo’s conversation was the most interesting thing to happen during a sixers game in months.

by Jordan Sams on Apr 12, 2010 4:46 PM PDT reply actions  

Wondering why Kapono has decided to show up recently…

by Dalanel on Apr 12, 2010 5:28 PM PDT reply actions  

I’m thinkin the same thing

by Tron79 on Apr 12, 2010 5:29 PM PDT via mobile up reply actions  

anyone else on here think bringing back johnny salmons again would be a good idea if we could work out a deal such as salmons for kapono, obviously not gonna happen but seems to me he could help out our hole at shooting guard

by jallstarzz13 on Apr 12, 2010 6:28 PM PDT up reply actions  

nevermind didnt realize kapono is in the last year of his contract

by jallstarzz13 on Apr 12, 2010 6:28 PM PDT up reply actions  

Because he’s PLAYED – jesus – he didn’t play conssitently until recently – this is because thad broke his thumb

by jemagee on Apr 12, 2010 7:38 PM PDT up reply actions  

Tony Dileo is talking like kopono and meeks are our best players

by Tron79 on Apr 12, 2010 5:34 PM PDT via mobile reply actions  

And that means that there are serious problems with the roster

by Dalanel on Apr 12, 2010 5:37 PM PDT up reply actions  

They are certainly playing like the best two players on the roster

by Tron79 on Apr 12, 2010 5:49 PM PDT via mobile up reply actions  

Good game. Entertaining and a loss!

by Dalanel on Apr 12, 2010 6:32 PM PDT reply actions  

just got home. following this game on my phone at school was extremely distracting/stressful/exciting.

by Jordan Sams on Apr 12, 2010 6:41 PM PDT reply actions  

knicks won that’s it. everyone else is or got rocked.

by packimop on Apr 12, 2010 6:48 PM PDT reply actions  

i’ll take sole possession of 7 at this point.

by Jordan Sams on Apr 12, 2010 6:49 PM PDT up reply actions  

Clippers win locks up no worse than 7th

by jemagee on Apr 12, 2010 7:39 PM PDT up reply actions  

we very easily could be 9th if we won both heat games, which we easily could have/should have.

by Jordan Sams on Apr 12, 2010 6:50 PM PDT up reply actions  

Nice loss tonight, hopefully the sixers will be blown out on wednesday to end the season so they don’t screw up there draft position anymore then they already have.

by Uiruru on Apr 12, 2010 6:55 PM PDT reply actions  

i like our chances to lose in orlando. they’re playing their starters.

by Jordan Sams on Apr 12, 2010 6:58 PM PDT up reply actions  

They’re starting their starters, maybe, that doesn’t mean they’ll play the entire game instead of just 20 minutes or so

by jemagee on Apr 12, 2010 7:39 PM PDT up reply actions  

they’ll play until the outcome isn’t in question.

by Jordan Sams on Apr 12, 2010 7:58 PM PDT up reply actions  

Why, Washington, why? I left Wachovia and they were up big. Knicks dropped 40 pts in the fourth quarter and won. Officially eliminates us from catching the Wiz.

by Derek Bodner on Apr 12, 2010 7:06 PM PDT reply actions  

Guarantees us no worse than a tie for 7th though.

by Jordan Sams on Apr 12, 2010 7:08 PM PDT up reply actions  

Hollinger in his chat on friday said that the wizard would qualify as the ‘most gunner’ team is he had just picked a team instead of his all guner league wideness….said he never saw a more selfish team than the wiz.

That probably explains it

by jemagee on Apr 12, 2010 7:40 PM PDT up reply actions  

Overall, agreed. That being said, Livingston’s one of my favorite stories of the season.

by Derek Bodner on Apr 12, 2010 8:03 PM PDT up reply actions  

I’m a big shaun livingston fan, always have been, but dude just seems cursed

thought the sixers should have taken a shot last year when they had no back up pg
