"Andre Iguodala is the Best Perimeter Defender in the NBA"
…but can’t cover almost 36 year old Andre Miller. It’s not all his fault, but he got burned on the final play in regulation. Truth.
Sixers can’t handle the pick and roll in the final minutes

Refs- awful tonight
ET- loved his aggression into the paint but his jumpshot is def work in progress
Thad- awesome
Lou- he wasn’t used right tonight by doug
EB- so so game
Meeks- contributed minimally
Jrue- awful game from him. Besides the obvious error at the end, horrible one on ones and got owned by Lawson most of the game
Vuc- ehhhhhh
Doug- too whimsical tonight and erratic
Venting.
1. Evan Turner was on display. He was hot and I don’t understand why you take the guy out of the game in the most crucial moments when he kept you in it.
2. Jrue… another really bad game for him. It’s like he’s taken a step back this year.
3. Iguodala… well, I didn’t expect any more or less with that FT shooting.
4. Andre Miller played like he had something to prove to the Sixers and seriously just burned the team.
5. Terrible ref job again near the end. Nene got away with an offensive foul and a travel and that “charge” by Turner was an atrocious call.
6. WHERE ARE YOU DWIGHT HOWARD?!?
7. Doug Collins. In these types of games, I get frustrated with you.

Worst game of the year for the coach. Inexplicable decisions. No BOSS or Jrue in OT. No Vuc after the 4 fouls.
Also sick of the “We shouldn’t call timeout on the final play of the game because the opposing team gets to set their defense” nonsense. This strategy has NOT been successful for a young team like the Sixers.
ET was in… but he should have played the FULL quarter.

It’s actually the right idea. The Sixers should have a set play that they run in those situations. Why give the defence a chance to set up or talk about it?
No, not for this team it isn’t. We are much more efficient in situations with set plays. Go back to last year and look at how many games we lost because Dougie employed this strategy, only to watch the Sixers choke the game away.

What about his point that Carmelo is constantly ripped here for his shooting? It’s all about shooting when this blog wants it to be.
Melo rarely does anything else
When his shooting is off. I think that’s why Melo is a target for his volume shooting.
Of course, a lot of it is simple dislike for a rival’s superstar.
Is your love worth the nausea it could bring?
a lot of it is the fact that people such as yourself refer to him as a superstar because they get caught up in the fact that he is a great scorer. Yet, he does nothing else. If you only play on one side of the court, you dont deserve the title of superstar.

To be fair to Iguodala
Denver’s Galinari was playing some great defense on him all night.
Alas, Gallo was also shut down by Iggy on the other end, putting up a scant 3 points.
Just because the offense wasn’t there doesn’t mean Iguodala didn’t show up. He shut down Denver’s most consistent offensive player in Gallo.
Cheers.

We all know he is fully capable of this. He did a great job when he played here. Who remembers the big Sixers/Nuggets game the first time Iverson came back as a Nugget? He went for 28 and 12 that night.

Totally agree
Watching Turner in the Big Ten during his senior year, it was pretty clear he was capable of this. That’s why I was so excited when the Sixers drafted him. I think we will see a lot of games like this from him in the future.

Seriously is it the cool thing to do to blame losses on Iguodala? He was not the reason we lost yet people are blaming the loss on him
The Legend
Those people are newbs, don’t listen to them. He was an assist away from a triple double. It might of been a John Hollinger “pathetic” triple double, but still, solid game.
One thing that struck me at the end:
On the last crucial possession with about ten second left in overtime the sixers looked to Doug to see if he was calling a time out. As they inbounded they sort of moved slowly thinking a timeout was coming. Doug was urging them to try to push the ball up and beat the Nuggets down the court. Not sure if this was DC’s fault or the players, but it was clear that they didn’t know what to do in that situation. This team seems to blank out in crucial situations.
I suppose this is why we should need a star?

I noticed this when we were down earlier. The energy was sucked out of the team and when ET went 94 feet, 3 players were lagging behind and still behind the backcourt line when he was at the basket.

officials were bad against the knicks because they have super duper stars. The sixers were also tierd and weren’t playing like themselves.
This time they lost to a good team wiith a 35 year old playing like one of the sixers vets slept with his baby-momma.
Factor this in with a certain ref who made atrocious calls.

All biases aside,
This team really might be one of the best fits for him in the league. Not that he won’t be good anywhere he goes, but this team is already built in a way that all he’d have to do is show up and they’d win with him. More so than even the Mavericks or Lakers or whatever. The Sixers wouldn’t have to change anything about their style of play.

Absolutely right. Remember how often you heard “And down it goes!” as a result of an Andre Miller shot when he played in Philly? Like 3 times per season.
A win would have been so key. I was looking forward to shoving it in the eye of “Sixers are still terrible/haven’t beaten anybody/Granger was injured/etc”. Now we’ll have to wait til Friday. Argh!
We should beat the Hawks. I was actually going to drive down to Miami to see the game on Saturday. Not sure it’s worth the four-hour trip, though.

One thing that annoys me about Collins is how stubborn he is with playing the vets over the young guys. Evan Turner was our best player offensively late in the game, no reason why Collins shouldn’t of gotten the ball in his hands and put him to work. He was getting high percentage looks too, frustrating stuff but I still do love Dougie.
Another game note.
A big problem we had was the pick and roll from the 4 and 5 spot, more so the 5th. Brand couldn’t rotate well and had to over-commit to basically stop the ball handler leaving his guy completely (typically Nene) wide open. Vuce did a better job at stopping this in the first quarter and I want to believe Hawes, if he played, would have done a better job as well.

Doug doesn't like ET
Look at evan’s line and then take a look at Jodie’s line and then explain to me why they played the same minutes.
Turner was back from injury. That’s my only guess. He wanted to ease him in. And he got a lot of playing time in the second half. I don’t agree with taking him out in the crucial moments of the game, however.

Follow @Sohil_Doshi
The injury explanation doesn’t work because Meeks has been getting more minutes than Turner all season, even though Meeks (and I’m being 100% honest here) does not belong in the NBA, let alone starting.
To say he doesn’t belong in the NBA is a bold statement, one that I don’t agree with. Is he a below average starter? I would definitely say yes. But he does serve a purpose; he stretches the floor with the three, can play mediocre defense, and can run the floor and finish. DC basically likes him because he can stretch the floor. I’m probably one of the biggest Turner fans on here, so trust me I want to see him play as much as possible but I’m really just happy that he’s getting minutes. Starting will come in time just have patience.
I don’t really see him ever “stretching the floor.” What’s the difference between Meeks and Kapono? I don’t think Kapono is an NBA player either.
Stretching the floor means “floor spacing”. Because Meeks is dangerous behind the arc, defenders have to respect that and play up on him. The positioning of defensive players are directly effected as it’s one less player clogging up the lane at the start of an offensive set and its a good kick out option if players are drawn in by someone collapsing the lane. Meeks plays adequate (kind of average) defense and he can run the floor pretty as well. He warrants minutes and is “starting” because he compliments the rest of the back court well with Iguodala and Jrue.
Now I’m not suggesting that I don’t want Turner to start but I understand the “logic” behind it all. Kate Fagan outlined it really well when she talked about it a few weeks ago.

I know.
I was just messing around. He was definitely just being a jerk.

meh, who knows how much crap they say to each other during games. Iguodala seems like the more classy type.

It seems like Iggy gets shaken by stuff like that. Carmelo seemed to wreck Iggy with words as well. I’d like to see Carmelo try that s**t with Turner, it would end differently.

Supposedly he said to Iguodala after he missed the first free throw. In this case, he hit the second one after hearing the comment.
As for Carmelo, Iguodala stifled him in the fourth quarter, which was after the technical. You must’ve been watching a different game.

hey
I’m a Nuggets fan. I come in peace.
I’m pulling for the 76ers in the East this year. Really like how your team plays. I was expecting a good game tonight and was not disappointed.
Some terrible officiating tonight. That wasn’t a charge there at the end.
Look forward to watching the 76ers play more.
Is your love worth the nausea it could bring?
We typically eat opposing fans up because we are absolutely ravenous but since you said you come in peace… we’ll let you live…for now.
No but seriously, thanks for stopping by. The game was really exciting. You guys have a really deep team and your front court exposed ours significantly. I actually really like the nuggets compared to most teams in the west. Andre Miller played out of his mind but I feel like he had something to prove and used that as motivation. He’s a good player but I don’t expect that sort of performance every night. haha
