2011 Sixers NBA Schedule Released

PrintIt has arrived. It's not quite 4X Fast Forward, but it's a definite speeding up of the basketball season. The Sixers have a ton of back-to-backs, most of which coming in January at first glance. They'll be kicking off the season against their alphabetical rivals, the Portland Trail Blazers, on Post-Christmas Day Eve Day Eve, I believe. It'll be interesting to see who actually suits up for the Blazers in Game One.
Other games of note:
- MONTA ELLIS (![!]) and the Warriors will host the Sixers on New Year's Eve. There's a good chance that, Eastern Time, the Sixers will still be in action on the West Coast while the clock strikes 2012. So you'll have the choice of either watching Monta and Louis Williams square off against each other instead of on the same team (ahh, what could have been...) or kissing Lea Michele, Robert De Niro, and Zac Efron. If only Dong were still on the team.
- They get their Miami Heat rematch on January 21st in South Beach. Moving on.
- No Valentine's Day games?! I guess Zumoff will have to hype Girls Night Out all 365 other days of the year (To be clear, I'm not bad at subtraction - it's a leap year, folks).
- After having ZERO nationally televised games during December, January and February, you can catch the Sixers on ESPN....wait for it....FIVE times that month. Also, once on NBATV but wow that's a lot of ESPN time. All night games, no Sundays.
- Finishing the season on a five game road trip visiting the dregs of the Northeast: Cleveland, Indiana, New Jersey, Milwaukee Detroit. Ugly. Not exactly difficult, but they are road games and it's 5 of them in 8 days so....we'll see where we stand playoff-wise.
Anything else jump out at you? Who's excited for actual basketball?

Guess they got lucky
Only one set of back-to-back-to-back games (all teams in the league have to do that at least one time but no more than three times.) I was pretty much counting on it happening three times to them.
Unless I screwed up and read the schedule wrong.
What is this? The AHL? Three days straight is a bit much. I would rather the season been extended (calendar wise) past the normal time, or shorten (in game number) the season further. Combined with the long layoff, injuries will likely be very common.

You can't imagine...
…what humiliations I would be willing to suffer if I got to kiss Lea Michele :D
I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggone it, there will be no trade for Monta!
You have really low standards – neither best signer or best looking woman on that show :)

She’s my type. What can I say? The crotch wants what the crotch wants…
I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggone it, there will be no trade for Monta!
Oh – you’re one of those who limits yourself to a particular type then – more fun to be open minded :)
Seriously though – she’s everywhere and getting irritating, love the show but the two ‘leads’ are not even i nthe top two singers of their gender, with that new irish guy he’s at least #5 or something, lea michele is probably 3rd

I haven’t watched a whole lot of Glee this season…it started getting boring to me.
I don’t know. It’s not really a specific type so much as “This one seriously rings my bell.” She does :)

I haven’t watched a single episode this year

Can’t blame you after the second season – but there has been improvement
My true name is Stormageddon Bazinga Jones
True. I was a big fan of the show when it first came out.
It was funny (teacher planting weed in the kid’s locker room to blackmail him into joining glee) and querky (the hot but creepy ginger). They also covered some pretty decent songs like those of queen.
But everything went to shit when started making covers for Katy Perry and Rebbecca Black (seriously?). And the story lines are just unbearable. Sometimes I cringe due to the stupidity of their story lines.

I still think that the bully (kurt’s bully) should have committed suicide – fit more with the character they were devloping (and a better ‘message’ too in my mind)
They just bought into their own hype and started being about the songs
No musical is about the songs – the songs accent the story
My true name is Stormageddon Bazinga Jones
They build their story line around the songs they cover. A request from someone’s publicist or a song that will bring in more ratings.

Lea Michele
is one of the women on glee (most of them are much older than the characters they play) and a pretty experienced broadway actress before (spring awakening is a soundtrack you want to pick up if you like glee – quite a few glee cast on it)
My true name is Stormageddon Bazinga Jones
The Dianna Agron is much hotter- but she’s such an awful actress.
by The Pied Piper on Dec 7, 2011 9:07 AM PST up reply actions
Ok
She may be hotter but she’s not the hottest
Honestly, Santana is the bomb and in the top 2 of singers as well (female category)
My true name is Stormageddon Bazinga Jones
Santana is the bomb
This ain’t the 90s, son.
But you’re right I would pick Santana over Dianna.

Look whipper snapper, since I’m about to be 40 I can talk any damn well I please, I’m fluent in most generations I just find todays slang ridiculously stupid and geared more towards a generation that can’t spell or now the difference between to/too/two
The classics are cassics for a REASON, son ;)

Glad to see @ Golden State on schedule. I’m usually in the Bay Area for the holidays, and love catching the Sixers in Oakland. New Years Eve kinda stinks, but whatever.

I think Fagan said when the lockout ended that they were going to try & buy him out instead of using the amnesty. At 1st I thought it would be smart to amnesty him(mainly because I think he sucks) but then after Fagan put that out there it would make more sense to save the amnesty for next year
Same...
Next year is the last year you can use it anyway right? I have a feeling they’ll use it on Brand anyways to try & get somebody in next year’s FA class
But there’s no one significant other than Howard (pipe dream). I know Paul and Deron are available but there’s not point in signing them if we have Jrue and a young roster.

Haven’t heard yet, I’m going to shell out the money again this year after not last year.

Don’t the Sixers offer an internet package? For the whole season I think they charged $76 last year.
by The Pied Piper on Dec 7, 2011 9:08 AM PST up reply actions
Those offers aren’t from the teams – usually – there usually is a broadband league pass option…but the packages should be less this year due to the shorter season (one would think)
My true name is Stormageddon Bazinga Jones
I would just save the money and go to atdhe.me

There are things i will and won’t do regarding legality
I don’t use those stream services
plus i like oto tape and rewatch the games
My true name is Stormageddon Bazinga Jones
the stream services arent illegal
only the people uploading and streaming them are breaking the “law”
when youre out of state and its the only way to watch the games, you take what you can get.
(livefootballstream.net is another one btw)
JODIE CHEEKS
Hmm – that’s a nice semantic argument, but yes stream services ARE illegal, they are illegal rebroadcasts (even live) of copyrighted material
Which is why if you even ask for one on the goodphight you are banned immediately – they ahve lots of lawyers and such on that blog.
streaming copyrighted broadcasts like mlb or nba is illegal – unless you have their permission – pure an dsimple – those who do it are breaking the law and those who watch it are breaking the law
My true name is Stormageddon Bazinga Jones
it wasn’t specifically the sixers who offered that, it was comcast. if you signed up you got free tickets to a game too – much better deal than getting league pass broadband if you’re only interested in watching sixers

Looks like we have the first victim of the amnesty clause
WojYahooNBA Adrian Wojnarowski
The Spurs have decided to use the amnesty clause on contract of Richard Jefferson, league sources tell Y! Sports. He has 3 years, $30M left.
I actually think she’s more talented than the rest of the disney (female) bunch – she was cool in bandslam

I’m not afraid to admit that Selena Gomez makes me feel all funny, like when I used to climb the ropes in gym class (at least now that she’s 19).
I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggone it, there will be no trade for Monta!
But then she talks (or worse, sings)
and it’s like that feeling you get when someone tears cotton balls but 100 times worse
My true name is Stormageddon Bazinga Jones
The mute button definitely makes her more attractive.

I’m happy I lost cable after 8th grade. I would have kept watching Disney
by The Pied Piper on Dec 7, 2011 1:07 PM PST up reply actions
I questions someone who was watching disney in 8th grade and is male
My true name is Stormageddon Bazinga Jones
Hey, I watch Disney more or less constantly. Yes, that’s because my 5-year-old loves it, but it’s there and I’m there :)
I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggone it, there will be no trade for Monta!
