Around SBN: Raiders' GM Begins The Purge

Sixers @ Magic game thread

Philadelphia 76ers at Orlando Magic, Apr 14, 2010 5:00 PM PDT


This is it folks, the end of an era. 82 games of Eddie Jordan, and I feel like I've endured Chinese water torture for approximately 30,576 consecutive hours. It's been real. Sometimes it's been fun. But I can't say it's been real fun. I wish Eddie and his sexy new teeth nothing but the best, and tonight I'll say a couple prayers for the fans of the next team he graces with his presence (and his chalk talks) with.

What happens during the course of tonight's game is essentially meaningless, as long as no one suffers a serious injury. The outcome, however, could have a slight impact on the lottery odds, and my pre-season prediction. First of all, if the Sixers win tonight's game they'll finish only 20 games off my pre-season prediction of 48 wins, which would be quite the accomplishment. Second, the Sixers could either finish tied for sixth worst record, in sole possession of the seventh, or tied for the seventh -- ranging from an 18.25% to 12.5% chance of landing a top 3 pick. Here's what we're rooting for tonight:

  1. A Magic win.
  2. No serious injuries.
  3. A Pistons win.
  4. A Clippers win.
This is the last game of the season. Enjoy it -- win or lose -- because it's the last time you'll see the Sixers until November. I'll be in class for most of the game, but I should be back in time to watch the fourth, and final quarter. It's been a pleasure participating in game threads with you guys this year, and here's *holds up virtual drink* to a magical off-season.

We control our own destiny with #4. If #1 happens, #4’s irrelevant.

I’m pretty confident about us losing tonight. I just hope the Pistons don’t pull a massive tank-job, because they shouldn’t lose to the Wolves.

by Jordan Sams on Apr 14, 2010 2:16 PM PDT up reply actions  

how many teams that ’shouldn’t lose to the wolves’ did this year?

by jemagee on Apr 14, 2010 2:30 PM PDT up reply actions  

13? 12 or 13 out of 82 is good odds.

by Jordan Sams on Apr 14, 2010 2:33 PM PDT up reply actions  

Minnesota has beaten:
NJ (twice)
Denver
Utah (twice)
Sacramento (twice)
Washington
Indiana
Philadelphia
LAC
Knicks
Dallas
Memphis
Miami

They’re actually fairly consistent in losing to the teams they have no business beating.

If any of you ever win the lottery and don’t know what to get me – in the under 3 grand category

In the over 10 grand category – a first edition mint condition copy of neuromancer would be fine

That is all

Eddie Jordan should be fired by tomorrow’s press conference

on Jordan's potential firing

“this is all, of course, just speculation. He’s an excellent coach, and this philadelphia club has had a tough year.”

Love when announcers from other teams start talking about stuff they really have no idea about.

Something amazing can always happen but I’m not going to hold my breath.

by Jordan Sams on Apr 14, 2010 6:52 PM PDT up reply actions  

And it’s not like the bucks and hawks were struggling. At least I thought so…

Went from a 34% chance to 15% chance at WTF. Killer.

by Jordan Sams on Apr 14, 2010 6:59 PM PDT reply actions  

youve missed some exciting plays AGAINST the Sixers.

although I admit I;ve only been half-paying attention: trying to do some schoolwork and follow the Phils game as well.

Liking Magic over Thunder the more I think about it.

by Uiruru on Apr 14, 2010 7:23 PM PDT up reply actions  

Cavs Has to be.

Over … i don’t know. I want to say Thunder, just like you do. You can never count out the Lakers… I’m forced into Cavs over Lakers, just like you. I don’t love it, but I can’t see it any other way.

by Saul on Apr 14, 2010 7:24 PM PDT up reply actions  

Cavs over Lakers

by Ben16 on Apr 14, 2010 7:24 PM PDT up reply actions  

i’d love to see lebron win. actually i wouldn’t mind ANY team winning, but the lakers.

by Jordan Sams on Apr 14, 2010 7:25 PM PDT up reply actions  

I agree. I really like the Thunder but I think they are a couple years away in the west.

by Ben16 on Apr 14, 2010 7:26 PM PDT up reply actions  

couple years away, definitely. still like them as a sleeper.

Helluva day for Philly sports today.

Sixers lose, Flyers win, and Phils kill… despite awful starting pitching and no Rollins.

Every single one the desired result.

Pistons win and of course, Sixers lose or win depending on how you take it.
