shame on anyone who ever suggested that King is half as bad as Isiah Thomas. Look at some of the players King has left us and look at the Knicks.

I never once did not think Billy King did not have a good motion. All of the trades he made on paper were designed to make us a winner. Even the T-Mac trade played out(first season anyway) when we were a top 4 eastern conference team. It was Billy King's CONTRACTS that held him back. I honestly would've given King another year.

Kidd throwing up a stinker in his first game as a Mav while Paul is one steal away from a triple double. Sign of the times.

Anyone watching Shaq's first game with the Suns, dude is seriously out of shape, he will be lucky if he doesn't pass out in a game this year.

I was just watching with my wife and I said what's Shaq wearing under his uniform and my wife said "a bra for his man boobies" LOL

Since when did the Sixers start channeling the Showtime Lakers?

By the way, at halftime on this game Ed Stefanski was on the radio with Tommy Mac. Stefanski said that he gives Mo and the coaching staff a lot of credit because he did ask Mo to start playing up-tempo basketball and Mo has done just that.

It's interesting to hear a GM actually say that he told a coach how to he wants the team to play. Normally you don't get a GM who admits to these things.

I didn't get to watch the game tonight, but I saw the box score and I got to say that a 40 point win is impressive (yes, even against the Knicks).

Man... I had a meeting to attend tonight so I only caught parts of the game on the radio. Now I'm watching the game on my DVR and this game is downright disgusting.

I seriously don't know how Knick fans can hang in there with Isiah running their franchise. I almost feel bad for Isiah because things are THAT bad.

By the way, Stefanski extended Mo and that's fine but as president of this team he needs to make a move that will make the fanbase happy.

I watched the entire game on MSG (first Sixers game I've seen in awhile), lemme just say, our defense is TOP 5 IN THE LEAGUE!

I no we played the Knicks but even then, we were suffocating them! Those TOs were all forced through hard work by the team as a whole.

The Knicks were crying "RAPE!" by halftime. (idk if thats in bad taste, lol)

Great win! Keep it up!

Here's an interesting fact...

The Sixers hadn't scored at least 124 points in regulation since a 134-107 win over Detroit on April 12, 1994.

That means that we never had this kind of offensive explosion during all of Iverson's years here.

That's all on Larry Brown and his playing the game the right way- and not in any way due to AI.

Sure... I'm not blaming AI for this but even in the post-LB era, especially during JOB's year here, I would have thought that we would have hit 124 in regulation.

It's only one game, but obviously Shaq has come in and helped that Phoenix defense. The Suns only allowed 130 points to the Lakers tonight.

This game was great, so the whole thing the Sixers defense I have NEVER seen like that since I started watching them in 1996. I'm gald Mo got a one year extension he deserved it. If it was 3 years I wouldn't have been that happy, but Iggy's block on Curry was nice and same with Thad game, nice to see Thad using his mini hookshot.

I would expect anyone with an ounce of basketball knowledge to recognize that Larry Brown was responsible for that... :noway:

The Denver Nuggets sure know how to score points...

It's amazing how much credit is being given to the Sixers by the people in this thread. I guess no one recognizes that the Knicks were just on the court as a formality to collecting their pay checks...

I dont' care who they played they played an NBA team and literally won the game at half time. It was still a good game, it's not the Sixers faul it was the New York Knicks.

Can someone please explain to me how the +/- works on the stats page. I know I should know but I don't.

I just don't know how after this game Evans was +40 and Thad was only +13 I believe it was, even though he had a much better game.

+/- indicates how many points your team scored and gave up while you were on the court.

While Evans was on the floor the Sixers scored 40 more pts then Knicks did during the same time frame.

When Thad was on the court they scored 13 more points then the Knicks did.
