After The Thunder, Comes the Tears

Alright, so we didn’t win. We didn’t win. Ahhhhhhhhhhh that’s still taking some time to sink in. Up 5 points with 40 seconds to go, we were hanging with the OKC for the entire game, making shots, playing OK defense, but in the end it wasn’t enough. Kevin Durantula made an amazing 3 (which he got fouled on) to tie the game into overtime, and it was pretty much all downhill from there. But, I will reflect on some of the good things. I had the most amazing seats I’ve ever had in the history of sports ever. Front…

Before the Storm Comes the Thunder

Man, all these NCAA violations are getting me fired up. First, BYU suspends their second best player before the biggest national tournament because he got freaky in pre-marital sex, then today Ohio State head football coach Jim Tressel gets suspended 2 games and a quarter million dollar fine for knowing about players selling their used uniforms for cash. It’s a god damn joke that players are intended to make absolutely no money the entire duration of their career at a college they help make millions of dollars. It’s a quarter million dollar joke that Jim Tressel is losing for…

Welcome to the Elite .500 Club

Last night, the 76ers did something that they haven’t done since 2009. Become an average team. With a win over the D-Town Pistons, the Sixers’ record is 29-29, putting us 7th in the Eastern Conference. Surprisingly, the East isn’t that bad this year, and of the 8 teams that would be going to the play offs, there is only one with a losing record. Take that Seattle Seahawks! The 76ers now have the same amount of wins as the New York Knicks, who everyone won’t shut up about. Except, didn’t the Cavaliers just beat them? Word? Now, to be…

SIXERS IXERS IXERS!!!

This week has been sweet. Super sweet. The 76ers, after starting the season 5-17, have since had an above .500 record for the past 3 months. They have been f-in crushing it. Let’s recap the week shall we? Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday. That was a blowout. I haven’t seen the 76ers win by 34 in… oh… I don’t know. Never. The universe must be collapsing upon itself because the 76ers never win a game in blowout fashion… especially not to a team fifth in the division. Very next night the Sixers lose a pretty close game to the Orlando…

Last Word on Iguodala

This is it, after this, I will no longer be posting about Andre Iguodala.  But I had to post about last night. Here’s what happened. Sixers down by 3.  Time expiring.  Iggy shoots a three.  Misses BUT gets fouled.  Awesome.  He hits the first one.  Hits the second one.  And then… CLANK! Misses the third one.  Misses a chance to tie the game.  Then, with the Sixers still down THREE mind you and with even less time left in the game (about 11 seconds) he gets the ball and shoots a TWO point jump shot that again clanks off…

The Sixers Blow…another game

That seemed impossible.  Up 4 with 20 seconds to play, I thought for sure the Sixers had the game in the bag.  But then, of course, they blew it. Mark Zumoff said something like this right before the final Magic play of regulation, “Well, the Sixers are up 4 with 20 seconds left to play…you would think they’re gonna win unless the unthinkable happens and they foul someone taking a three pointer.” Aaaaaaaand….guess what happened?  THAT!  EXACTLY THAT! Andre “I am the biggest idiot and the worst 80 million dollar player ever” Iguodala tries to follow his man, puts…

76ers Named Top 10 Power Ranking… Then Promptly Lose.

Surfing the net earlier today, I came across an actual ESPN story that featured the 76ers.  The reason being that Philadelphia happened to be one of the most “overlooked” teams in the NBA, and that they were listed in the top 10 NBA power teams in the league.  I have no idea what that means.  I was just excited to see some national coverage for Philadelphia that wasn’t Michael Vick being the catalyst for a New York meltdown. How does a team like the 76ers respond?  They lose.  Badly.  45 points to be exact.  The 76ers started the 8…
