I have an uneasy feeling in my stomach. The 8 role players and head coach let me down tonight. The "big 3" showed up, and if the Sixers would've gotten a contribution from anyone else we'd have ourselves a 2-0 lead. I've allowed the loss to linger for a few hours, but I still can't get over it.
Why did Andre Iguodala score only 1 point in the first half?
Why did Bill Green play 20+ minutes?
Why did DiLeo play Donny-Ice when we needed stops and sit him when we needed threes?
Why is Courtney Lee averaging 21 points this series?
Who in their right mind would allow Reggie Evans to guard Dwight Howard?
Why couldn't we get a defensive rebound?
Why don't we get to the free throw line anymore?
Why is Bill Green playing at all?
Sigh. Please don't be as disappointed as I am. We're still going back to Philadelphia with a split. We have home-court advantage. And this Magic team is very beatable. They proved it tonight be allowing the Sixers to hang around in a game they should have dominated.
Now I'm off to watch some Fresh Prince re-runs to ease the pain. Hopefully a couple hours of sleep and a long day at work will erase this from my memory.
I'll preview game 3 tomorrow night.
Until then...
