Magic vs. Sixers Game Thread

Post #101 » by **FFBlitzace** » Sat Feb 23, 2008 1:07 am

And it looked so promising. Looked like a Hedo 3 for an 18 point lead. Refs say toenails, so only 17 (Looked like a 3 no question about it. I'd love to see replay, but we won't get to see it). Then Green gets the members bounce. Then Iggy gets the members bounce. And now it's only 13 with the Sixers getting the ball to start the 3rd.

It seems like the boys are playing badly, yet still up by 13?

I love Foyle as a person. Hate him when he's on the court. I applaud him hard when he does something right.

personally i think games like this need to be blowouts or else we loose confidance

Foyle gives 110%. If he was just an average athlete he'd be a very valuable player. But his physical limitations let him down.

He has great instincts. He's always in position for rebounds and always in good position for blocks. He has a ton of blocks in his career with almost no athleticism. But now that he's older he has lost whatever little bit of it he had, and he just can't do it anymore.

Nice....straight from the heart.

Man Pat Williams pops out books like a welfare crack mom pops out kids.

50 books, that's insane. It would be a dream for me to write just one moderately successful book.

But I guess I'll just have to settle for moderately successful message board graphic novels.

who else is going to shoot on their team?make no mistake, he's been carrying this team, he makes everyone better.. ask any sixers fan. i've seen over half of their games this year.

Well I don't know, I think the Magic would let me score 20 if I was playing PG, so he might just be taking what we give him.

#1 rule of judging players: Disregard performances against the Magic. Come on now, you know that.

Yep, there's the carry on us. Knew it was coming.

In the 2 games we've played Philly, Iggy has been horrible. His approach to the games has been horrible.

The obligatory carry call.

Otis: "See, now that Jameer's down, bet you're glad I didn't trade Carlos, huh?"

Wow i cant believe we didnt score on that.

Optimus_Steel · Post #116 » by **Optimus_Steel** » Sat Feb 23, 2008 1:30 am

3 for Hedo!!!

Post #117 » by **FFBlitzace** » Sat Feb 23, 2008 1:30 am

Steele still hasn't realized they called toenails on that one Hedo shot.

Can we grab the f***ing ball please? They're getting 10 attempts per possession. Blood pressure medication is not far away.
