At one point, Lavoy Allen and Tony Battie were the frontcourt. That may be the worst ever.
Topics to air grievances: LeBron James, Chris Bosh, Andre Miller, referees, knees, Mike Miller, Heat announcers, Doug Collins, Marreese Speights, LL Cool J, CBS reporters who declared JoePa dead, Chex Mix, cleavage, clicky pens, and Newt Gingrich.
Tough night. Mourn it in whatever way you see fit.

Doug makes stupid decisions… a lot.

Remember when we played the nuggets and Miller was hot in the first half so he started in the second half? I wish Doug would take a couple notes from that game. I know I’ve been an advocate to have Meeks as the starter, but Turner should’ve been starting the second half after his great first half.

Positives: Turner, Vuc
Negatives: Everyone else except Lou and EB

Lou was pretty poor

Still managed 22 on 16 shots, and probably should’ve gotten a few more calls down the stretch. I didn’t say he was positive, just not all that bad.

He had garbage time points.

Sure, but they still had a slight chance after his 2nd three in a row with 4 minutes left.

Knicks down 3
with 27.7 left to go. They have the ball.

It’s tough to win at basketball when you have no frontcourt.
Miami is better with one clear superstar on the court.
I just wasted 3 hours of my Friday night.
'Things are more like today than they have ever been before." Gerald R. Ford
Chris Bosh is such a clown.
Whatever, not too worried about the loss. We had no size at the end due to injuries, the Heat couldnt miss at times, and we were tired as hell.
Cant wait to play them again at full strength.
poor subbing by collins. lacked interior offense and defense. we did not have a chance at this one with these sharp knives repeatedly stabbing us in the chest, removingly slowly only to deliver the anguish again…
other than that we played a swell game.
Rant! Rant! Rant!

I felt like we were settling for outside shots too often instead of trying to drive in or feed the post. But the Heat’s defense sure wasn’t helping with that. And superstars like LeBron, and even Bosh (especially with the injuries to our bigs) are just too impossible to defend at times.

ET had the hot hand in the second quarter, I don’t know why he was on the bench for 10 minutes in the 3rd? Meeks was ineffective, he shouldn’t have played as much as he did.
Just talkin about practice
Meeks had spurts, I don’t fault him too much.

We lost this game in the last 2 minutes of the 3rd quarter.
1. Jrue played poorly
2. Iguodala was kind of invisible
3. Don’t be confused by stats, Lou Williams went BOSSy tonight and LWHAI popped up again. Most of his points were garbage time points.
4. Our front court is extremely thin/nonexistent
5. Meeks actually played well in spurts.
6. Thad was Thad
7. Turner was awesome in the first half.
8. Doug Collins pissed me off again. Same against the Nuggets… Turner was HOT in the first half…and he sat practically the whole third quarter. At one point he had Meeks and Lou Williams out at the same time…Wtf.
9. Heat literally played like they weren’t trying. Hats off, they were shooting well especially Bosh and Lebron.

I felt like, despite that we were only down by 5 or so at times, we never had a shot at winning this game.

Thad was not Thad. Thad got owned again by Mr. Anthony, Joel.

Hence Thad was Thad. He provided sparks of offense at times but was playing poor individual defense.
I didn’t mean it as a compliment.

He was a lot worse against the Heat. I think he was a shell of himself.

Fair enough. I consider Thad a front court version of Lou Williams as far as his utility. Sparks of offense and energy off the bench. But poor individual defense.

It's movie time with the g/f
What do we watch?
1. Straw Dogs
2. Warrior
3. Super 8
4. Bridesmaids
I’m letting you all decide
Just talkin about practice
I enjoyed Super 8, but you gotta go Bridesmaids. Best. Movie. Ever.

Warrior was a good movie IMO too but with a g/f after a rough Sixers loss… Go funny.

For the love of god not Straw Dogs. I’d say Super 8, though it’s better on a big screen. Bridesmaids didn’t tickle me as much as it did the rest of the world but you’ll enjoy it.

Straw Dogs was just as awful as the original movie.

The headlines will say something like, “Carmelo’s _(insert points) and clutch three carry Knicks past Nuggets in overtime.”
Or
“Nuggets narrowly escape past Knicks despite Carmelo’s _(insert points).”

Does anyone else of Deron Williams on their fantasy team and wish he wasn’t averaging 37% FG’s and 4.3 TO’s?

Yeah, I do. It sucks. I’m getting more out of Marshon Brooks than I am out of Deron right now. Fortunately, he was my second round pick (my first was Dwight but I traded him for Pau Gasol, Iguodala and Javale McGee).
Love the Sixers, love the Cavs. Don't sympathize, we'll win a championship someday. Someday...

Makes me realize that even though we can still get blown out by the Heat, our division lead seems pretty secure.

Gravely ill. Not dead. Yet. CBS has egg on their face for reporting he already was.
Editor at SB Nation's Philadelphia Union blog, The Brotherly Game. Follow me on Twitter.
Not long. Paterno has even been quoted about worrying that he would go the same way Bryant did when he stopped coaching.
Some guy at PSU Hershey Med Center just discovered a virus that eats cancer. Where were the CNN trucks for that? THON will probably break $10 mil this year. Put that on "Outside the Lines".
Did anyone else find it a little odd that Spencer made the trip? I mean I know they don’t exactly fly Southwest but I thought it was weird they’d have a guy with a history of back issues who they knew wasn’t going to dress fly on a one game trip.
I too was phoning home for ET in the 3rd after his awesome 1st half.
Apparently his back is much better and it was his achilles that’s been troubling him. He’s resting it off, which means he’s not playing. Travelling is fine.

everytime. So annoying
