Shelvin Mack was giving Philly the business when he got in.

Finally started to pull away.

Jeff was about to re injure the ankle.

Great first half; terrific showing by our bench.

BOGUS call at the end: Thaddeus Young steps against Teague's foot near our FT line, faked a stumble and was rewarded with a 3 shot foul. The "shot" never left his hand. Refs must be bored from such a one-sided game.

"Paul Millsap, THIS is a man's dunk!"

Everybody's asleep - that's the 3rd time the refs were way late on a call. I'm sure they're bored.

For anyone who believes in tanking, take a long look at this 6ers team. No one's improving. There is no system - only bad habits and worse attitudes. Unless they draft Bill Russell, this tank was a huge mistake.

And for anyone who believes that Evan Turner is worth attempting to build around, I hope this game establishes the fallacy in that.

None of the 76ers are playing defense (or anything like team offense, either). They're just auditioning for other teams.

Maybe so, but I don't think I saw a good shot or pass out of him all game. If you're auditioning for 60 minutes, wouldn't you slow it down once in a while instead of literally getting laughed at by the visiting announcers?

Wasn't arguing with you, just adding that it seems to me he's playing only to build up his numbers. After all the great things I'd heard about him, all he seems to be is a cynical opportunist. I think he's betting that no one is watching the games but are just reading the box scores.

Fair. In all honesty, I was shocked by how that team looked though. For all the early season hype they had, I only saw one (1) player who was a legit NBA player last night and that was Thad Young (to be fair, Hawes didn't look horrible in his chances - he just didn't have a lot of them). It was almost as if the entire reason for their pace was that they were either going to score early or throw the ball away and the only times their D showed signs of life was when they put full court pressure on Schröder... That one time. If I'm making a deal with PHI, then in no way would I pay a premium for any of their players. I'd offer a 2nd for Hawes and see if I'm the highest bidder since I know they won't keep him past the deadline.
