Spurs at 76ers 3/15/08

Ballings7 · Post #1 » by **Ballings7** » Sat Mar 15, 2008 5:32 am

Philly's been playing good basketball since the 2nd half of January, and have continued and improved on what they started from last year with AI being dealt. Having established themselves as a tough, get after it team, on both ends of the floor with what they have (not a lot, but enough). Especially defensively. Been keeping an eye on them pretty consistently since the AI trade, and they've been impressive with what they've been able to do. I dig some of their younger players, and enjoy warching their style.

However all that said, the Spurs will win this game

I think Rodney Carney would be a nice young addition to this team over the summer. If we'd want to go that young with getting younger on the wings (compared to guys like Jones, Delfino, Childress). Not sure how much the Sixers want to keep him, though.

We're what? 1 win 4 losses in our lasta 5 games? Didn't we lose to Philly earlier this year?

I'm calling a win on this one.

its kind of a must win at this point of the season...with all my respect to philly (I like what they are doing too) we can't affort to loose another....no matter if its a back2back!

damn, I even caught my self looking at the playoffbracket in fear of slipping to 9!

the urgency is there to get a win, I don't see it any other way - we get a win tonight.

We have to win vs them... but they did beat the Pistons so nothing is a given.

Doesn't look too good so far! I am hoping they pull things together in the 2nd half

I don't give a **** about what the Sixers have been doing..we're on a losing streak, and this is a team we should beat..they are still just an average team, nothing special..this is **** embarrassing..doesn't 11 in a row mean that we are supposed to be back in form? come on..

Watching the game on ESPN's gamecast (which, by the way is much better than NBA's gamecast). Is it really as ugly as it looks? What's going on?

It's almost like we've totally lost our swagger

HarlemHeat37 · Post #11 » by **HarlemHeat37** » Sun Mar 16, 2008 1:22 am

sucks to see Timmy starting to look his age at times..

100% embarrassment..4 out of 5 losses, including games against teams that we should own like Philly and Phoenix..

wow, I think I need a 1 week vacation from this team.

We got Boston on Monday night, which I expect to be another loss. Then, maybe we should beat the Bulls., then a coin flip game against Sac.

They deserve to lose this game and they will, they failed to attack the whole game until the final minutes, truly pathetic. I hope there's some conflict in the locker room tonight so they can finally wake the **** up and play serious basketball for 48 minutes.

its scary to see how they'll do in the playoffs..with playing like this it makes you wonder if they can get past the 1st round! I do believe that we will step it up come playoff time (like always) but, gotta admit this is getting scary.

Thanks for showing up, Parker and Ginobili. No thanks to anyone else.

Well, like I said about Philly.... but I didn't expect them to win still

Awesome game by them, and a pretty bad loss for us... only thing I can say is were just in a bad stretch right now.

disturbing situation,... I still trust in Pop though
congrats to Miller and Philly, good win.

Philly has been a on roll. They have some good pieces but they need more overall talent.

TD is the MAN wrote:Philly has been a on roll. They have some good pieces but they need more overall talent.

Hopefully our cap space this summer can bring us that talent in the form of a post presence, which is probably our most glaring void. This is the first time in a while this team has had an identity.... we'll see what happens. We're in no way a contending team, but we're heading in the right direction.

I wouldn't worry about this mini skid.... Despite how open the west is, you guys are too well coached and you've got too much talent/playoff experience.... I still consider San Antonio to have the most favorable likelihood to come out of the west.
