PrintEasy schedule be damned! The Sixers have beaten the Chicago Bulls and basketball relevance is officially back in Philadelphia. I think we have something here, you guys.
First person to mention the Bulls didn't have Luol Deng and Richard Hamilton gets shot.
CELEBRATE! DONG SHOTS FOR EVERYONE!

that’s because the sixers haven’t faced any legit teams yet. We won all of our games against easy opponents and against teams that were missing crucial players. sixers aren’t actually good. No need for them to get national media attention.

Except every team’s offense this year has been shaky, and we’re averaging over 100 a game, and looked even better before our top 2 centers went down. I feel like Rodney Dangerfield.

Hey guys, guess what?
Offensive rebounds:
Bulls – 8
Sixers – 11
"If Iguodala were a legitimate "true" 17 PPG scorer, we’d be a better team. When at least 8 of those points come off the fast break, his true offensive production is a reality: 8-11 PPG." - LeQuan Glover
Rip Hamilton would have had 20 o-boards, so it doesn’t count.
I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggone it, there will be no trade for Monta!
deng would’ve prevented the sixers from getting any rebounds at all, and would’ve scored 100 points.
"If Iguodala were a legitimate "true" 17 PPG scorer, we’d be a better team. When at least 8 of those points come off the fast break, his true offensive production is a reality: 8-11 PPG." - LeQuan Glover
Also true. Because he’s averaging 100/45 per game
I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggone it, there will be no trade for Monta!
so he’s like 20 times better than Iguodala who averages 5/2.25
"If Iguodala were a legitimate "true" 17 PPG scorer, we’d be a better team. When at least 8 of those points come off the fast break, his true offensive production is a reality: 8-11 PPG." - LeQuan Glover
Fast break points don’t count. So 1/2.25.

lol, true. those are negative points.

he also needs ot stop getting to the free throw line. It only hurts the sixers.

It’s basically just whoever is playing better. Jodie was playing like ass, so Evan got the call. I just want Evan playing all the time, regardless of whether or not Jodie hits his first shot or two.

Yes, I think Turner should always get more minutes unless Jodie is just unstoppable from the three.

Did you read the arguments, that’s how. Plus him starting puts Turner in a good role off the bench, and creates space for Iggy and Jrue. That’s also how. And he’s shown the ability to hit a big 3 when it’s needed. That’s also how.
Definitely know of the argument to start meeks over turner, and its clearly a fair argument. Im just saying that the sixers should eventually get a better shooting guard. And yes I know meeks can has the ability to hit a big 3.

Sure, and we could eventually have a better point guard. All we need to do is get rid of Jrue and get Deron williams to come here.
In fact, we could replace everyone on the roster with a better player.
Unfortunately, this is the real world. In this real world this non-fantasy-sixers team happens to be 16-6. Just enjoy it.

The usual...
…Reigning MVP Derrick Rose had 18 points and 6 assists, but that wasn’t quite enough as the Bulls hit a speedbump in their road to the Finals, losing in a heartbreaker to the 76ers, 98-82. Said coach Tom Thibodeau after the game, “Derrick played his heart out tonight, but he was suffering through a painful hangnail that really limited his game. You have to give him credit for being a real gamer out there”
Andre Iguodala also played tonight.

has somebody hacked espn?
Iguodala outplayed Derrick Rose and stuffed a month’s worth of highlight video activity into one game. His one-handed dunks, around-the-back passes, and big 3s helped the Sixers lead the Eastern Conference-leading Bulls by 20 at the end of the third quarter.
wow i thought they were still recovering from griffin’s most recent dunk!

No question about it...
This was a quality win. The Bulls were without Deng and Hamilton, but the Sixers were without their top two centers and were relying on 77 year old Tony Battie and a 6’9" 2nd round rookie playing out of position to man the middle. I’d say that’s a wash.
This is a really good basketball T-E-A-M. They play phenomenal defense, they hustle, they work their asses off, they’re unselfish, they don’t turn the ball over, and they go 10 deep (11 if you count the aforementioned Battie). None of those are traits that get you on SportsCenter, but they are traits that win games.

3rd straight win
Against the Bulls. I’ll say this, while the Sixers would still be an underdog in a 7 game series against Chicago, the Bulls do not want to see This Sixers team in the 2nd round.
Btw, we’ve played Indy, Atlanta, Orlando, Chicago, and Miami and are 4-1. Just sayin.
celtics announcer is bad-mouthing the sixers right now…"I just don’t think they’re a top team in this league."
Other guy: "well how about if I tell you they just beat the bulls tonight 98-82?"
D-bag guy: "ok, that’s fine. That was a regular season game. We’ll wait ’til we get to the playoffs."
Proof that it doesn’t count. Tommy said so.
I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggone it, there will be no trade for Monta!
such a bad argument

I think his assumption is that since a team like the Celtics is filled with veterans having tons of playoff experience, they can magically hit a switch in the playoffs and turn 10 years younger.

just want to restate that I believe it was the raptors’ announcers. It threw me off because it was a celtics home game, but they were talking about how bad the game was (celtics were blowing out the raptors). so yeah.

So true. I would love to see the bulls in the playoffs.However a healthy Dong makes me nervous. Hes got such long arms!!
I aint afraid of no Hamilton though.

According to Hollingers PER Stat....
Hawes(22.40)Vucevic(18.32)= 40.72
Deng(16.36)Hamilton(13.94)=30.3
bulls fans really need to stop complaining.
Did John Hollinger really invent PER?
What a crazy man.

I just find it funny that one game came up with such a ridiculous formula. Have you seen the equation?
by highwaterhello on Feb 1, 2012 7:29 PM PST up reply actions
yeah it’s nuts and just causes controversy… just like his power rankings.. basically if he makes your team/player look good, you love him and if he makes your team/player look bad, you hate him.
Right right. Kind like when he had the sixers at #1. National people loved that pick.

Just saw this over at BlogABull
“Iggy thinks hes Lebron.” Then someone responded and said “well hes doing a pretty damn good job so far.” #HatersGonHate

How did ESPN
really think Lavoy was worse than White Mamba? I mean, all joking aside.
@MacNaismith on twitter
My guess is..
.. they’d never really watched him play and just thought “Lavoy who?” when the Sixers picked him, then assumed he was only a courtesy pick since the’s a local kid and wrote him off.
I kind of want the Sixers to continue to fly under the radar and continue to get zero credit for anything. Makes for no shortage of bulletin board material.
Same goes for the fact that espn named Allen worst in the league,,
That’s enough motivation for a lifetime.

Sixers haven't played anyone...
and yet they have beaten every Eastern Conference playoff team accept the Heat and have yet to play the Celtics. Collins said it best in his post game…“the NBA is all about match-ups.” The Sixers match-up favorably against every other team in the East other than the Heat. If someone like the Hawks, Pacers, or Bulls were to knock off the Heat in the Playoffs….crazier things have happened.
Bucks are apparently their kryptonite. Just sayin.

exactly
I think if the Sixers pull the Heat, they lose, but we match up well v the rest of the east. The Heat having LeBron essentially cancels out Iggy. Iggy can’t play an effective game while guarding and being guarded by a better version of himself. If they avoid the heat, they might have a chance of getting past the 2nd, but I hate even going down that train of thought.
I’m hoping he breaks his leg and is out for the next 15 months, that would take care of everything.God damn Lebron for being so dominant.

Great win but they have already proved themselves to me
I dont want to be too chastising but really anybody that needed this game to get really excited about the Sixers I just don’t get it. Sure, they haven’t played the strongest schedule but they literally could have won every game they played this year except for the game against the Heat and maybe the Knicks game although it was a 6 point game or so at one point in the last few minutes and it was the third straight game in three nights. This team is for real.
Have a Day AI9!
He deserves all the praise this game for really leading the team on both sides of the ball. And a real nice effort by Allen, Young, and bounce-back 2nd half by Jrue. Great game!
