Philly wins big again

I don't know why people (Wilbon this time) keep mentioning Marion guarding Duncan and Parker - when he wasn't effective against them (Parker like twice). He's far too small for Duncan, and not quick enough against Parker (Parker just about always hit his jumpshot, as well). The results showed it over the years.

Just because you can be put on a player doesn't mean you can effectively guard them. The positive or at least respectable results have to show up for it to mean something.

ford really struggled today, missed about 4 or 5 easy layups, and turned the ball over trying to do too much. i hope he gets out of this funk, we need him especially when bosh is out.
