Deron Williams took over in the 4th quarter and overtime to beat the lackadaisical 76ers in overtime. Post your immediate disgust with this outcome if you want. Using pictures is always a fun way to do so.

It’s still insanely early to scoreboard watch.

Absolutely True
In the sense that game by game results/not losing a game in the standings mean absolutely nothing…but in the big scheme of things a loss to Cleveland just kind of hammers home the point that they may in fact be terrible. Until Baron Davis comes back, of course.

I really dislike Knicks “fans”. So it’s never too early for me.

Agreed
Knicks/D’Antoni/Melo are total frauds, the NYK hate makes me feel good.
Also the “Melo trade” is now known as the “Gallo trade” according to fans on WFAN in New York. Love this!

Sigh
Assuming a blowout was completely rationale considering that every game against a bad team like the Nets was a blowout this year. Obviously that wasn’t what happened, and Deron Williams was a total beast. Enjoy watching him now though, because when the Nets aren’t able to trade for Howard, he will be wearing a Maverick’s uniform next year.

I've always said
If we’re gonna lose, let’s lose by having Jodie Meeks involved in both the most important offensive and defensive plays, so I have no complaints.

that was remarkable wasn’t it

Phew, I’m not angry anymore. We all know the weaknesses of the team and most of them, if not all, showed tonight.

If Hawes misses significant playing time, do not re-sign him, even for backup slow white athletic Center money. The back was an issue two years in a row now.

For the most part I agree but still – tonight’s game was completely winnable even without them. No excuse for not boxing people out, jacking up shots and not taking it to the rim, poor substitutions etc. We need to win these games to put as much distance as possible between us and other teams now that we’re at home and in easier part of schedule

even if they had hawes and vuce tonight still would’ve been a lackluster performance. The sixers needed to lose this. It almost seemed as though they underestimated their opponent. They’ll keep this loss in their back pocket the next time they play a crap team…so, Friday.

Jrue Holiday playing like BAD BOSS
Let the Jruth be told.
Overdribbling, stupid turnovers, bad decisions, long 2s, questionable defense on the pick n roll.
Where is the Jrue Holiday from the Miami playoff series that looked so promising?
This
He has been struggling so far this season and its been a huge disappointment.

Dont worry, Doug Collins won’t sub out Meeks for an offense/defense substitution after a dead ball inbound play.

Not to blame the refs...
But there should’ve been a 5 second call against the Nets with 1:18 left when Philly led 90-88. Farmar inbounded it after about 5.7 seconds.
Though against a team like the Nets, it should never have been that close to begin with.

While the Sixers started out horrid...
they still couldve won the game. They missed tons and tons of open shots and their shot selection and ball management was lack luster! They also seemed to down right undermined their opponent! Rebounding URGH! That said, they had hustle and energy and seemed to lock up the defensive side the 2nd half. But to be quite frank, if the Nets didnt have D.Williams, well…you get the point! I know B-ball is a team sport, but this is what happens when you have a star. A big time player. Big time players make big time plays in big time situations. Period. You always have a chance. You always have that confidence knowing your Big time player will carry you in the crunch times. I get this “team” aspect, but to compete in this league and truly contend…you need that Star/Big time player. So while we can talk about fun this “Team” is to watch and how cool it is to see all the "role players’ play their part..in reality, we need to add a big time piece or two. I hope Doug and the gang realize this soon!

You can make that point about any team! And the Nets are also missing 3 starters…

Really..
If the Heat didn’t have D.Wade they’d be….or wait I forgot, they ALSO have Lebron James still to carry the team. If the Mavs didnt have Kidd they’d….oh wait, forgot, they ALSO have Dirk N! Point is the more big time talent you have, the greater your chances of staying in the game.
"... You play to win the game. Hello? You play to win the game. You don't play it to just play it. That's the great thing about sports: you play to win..."
Also, the Sixers were missing both of their current top big men...
notice that I did not list that as an excuse! So im confused on why you would even mention injured players.

even after a win, I’d still feel like crap if I were a Nets fan.

Must be a common theme amongst nets fans to:
1. Be trolls
2. Not be able to write coherent sentences.

I do feel that we have a really good core and an awesome coach
Our bench is one of the top in the league, we have a sound defense, and we play with loads of energy all around. We just need a big time player or two, and i believe we could really give those upper echelon teams a run for their money on a consistent basis!

I guess every good team has to lose to a bad team at least once per season. Better not see any more of this crap, though.

Other bad losses this season
Not happy with the loss, but good teams have inexplicable losses all the time.
Wiz over Thunder (Uh?)
Bucks over Heat (in Miami)
Celts over Magic (Orlando only scored 56 for the game, 20 in the 2nd half)
Dhalsim?

No more Yoga instead of practice. Practice your foul shots, Sixers.
72.8%, rank 22. It’s not like we have an elite PF or C that gets fouled constantly.

it’s not good when one of their better free throw shooters doesn’t know how to get to the line.

Here is a fun stat for the 2011-12 year thus far.
Joel Anthony: 83.3% FT
Andre Iguodala: 64.2% FT

What are anthony’s attempts per game? That matters more.

Anyone think the sixers will actually win a close game one of these days?
