Philadelphia 76ers at Charlotte Bobcats 3/31

[ziggy]

When you think of the Philadelphia 76ers you should have visions of these guys:

Not that raggedy assed 26-47 team that they are going to trot out on Wednesday night. Growing up as a big Dr. J fan its always kind of sad to see the Sixers near the bottom of the NBA heap.

The Sixers are 3-7 in their last 10, 14-23 on the road and if I were the owner of their team I would get word down to the coach that every loss will get them one ping-pong ball closer to John Wall. :rolleyes:


Do we bounce back from the Raptors loss and get a win against the Sixers?

[teej]

If we lose, we deserve to play Cleveland...

But I fully expect a win.

[Dr. Blotter]

I think we bounce back, Gerald's chat with the team may get a rise outta 'em

[Marvel]

The Sixers are a scrappy team and they got nothing to lose.We lose to the Raptors, so i'm 50/50.

[TheLegend]

Does anyone know if Nazr Mohammad and Tyrus Thomas are able to play?

[spectre]

Philly's last 3 games:

AT Milwaukee - 101 to 86 (W)
vs Atlanta - 105 to 98 (W)
vs OKC - 93 t0 111 (L)

I'm worried.

[Toocool]

It'll be tough. We need to protect the paint from Iggy. Shouldn't underestimate the 76ers and need to play good defense, solid offense and rebound the friggin ball. We need this win, I rather be higher than 8th on the standings.

[ALong13]

Does anyone know if Nazr Mohammad and Tyrus Thomas are able to play?

Not sure about Nazr, but Rotoworld reported via Bobcats Twitter that Tyrus took part in the shootaround, but is still a game-time decision. Hopefully he can go though.

[Walt Cronkite]

I'm always afraid of the Sixers. Tough team for us.

[ammofan]

We should win......but we all know how it goes when we "should win"

[spectre]

TT is active tonight.

[Talent]

I have a feeling this is going to be a frustrating first half. I hope I am wrong.

[spectre]

Jax with 3 TOs in the first 3 minutes. :facepalm:

[Dr. Blotter]

Let's Go Cats!!

why the sound was delay

[Dr. Blotter]

Scared to say this, but Chandler is looking like he came to play.

[spectre]

why the sound was delay

Hey I'm just the messenger...I didn't make it! :p

TC's looking pretty good early. Heck, most everyone's looking pretty good. Hopefully Jax has his "bad pass" quota filled for tonight.

[Woodsy23]

whos this guy that looks like chandler?

[spectre]

Looking good isn't he?

Watch how he's playing Brand...not letting him set up on the block.

[Dr. Blotter]

Nice 2nd effort Larry!

[Talent]

Anyone else getting a really crappy feed? It keeps stopping and starting...

[spectre]

I don't think Brand scored the entire time TC was on him. As soon as he goes out Brand gets a layup.

Philly looks like they're ready to get whooped. Hope we accommodate them.

Getting into "take a jump shot" mode.

[WarioVsMooChicken]

ATDHE stopped working for me

I miss RWB =(

[spectre]

Yeah that link really sucks. I can't find another tho. :(

Our first group played really good D. I'm hopeful LB kicks 'em around good during halftime and we start abusing them in the 3rd quarter.

I hate to ask who was covering Kapono during his "streak".

[Marvel]

Atdhe not working good today
Any other links?

[Muttley]

Live from 103: TC is playing well. We gotta keep bringing him in off he bench because he's playing so hard. Team's playing alright, but Jax loves his jumper so much. Especially when the clock is low.

[ziggy]

Now this is what I'm talking about. Up by 17 in the 3rd quarter, If they keep this up the rookies may even get some run tonight.

[spectre]

I don't care if Jax is playing on one leg. Kapono....really?

[Toocool]

Is it just me, or does LH look like a super massive black hole on offense at times?

[jam]

kapono is killing us,,would jax mind if he stop taking jumpshots?geez

[Toocool]

Iggy 4 fouls. Brand 5 fouls.
And please Jax, do something about Kapono...and stop chucking shots :facepalm:

70% FT shooting, horrible. Crash is loosing easy points.

[spectre]

Why doesn't LB pull Jax out?

[ziggy]

Jax missing the layup

[ziggy]

Is Kapono really wearing #72? Does he secretly yearn to be an NFL defensive end :confused:

[Marvel]

Interesting stat:
Jax 0-0 from free throws,7-19 from the field
Wallace 4-8 from free throws
Ratliff 4-4 from free throws


Case in point stop shooting long jumpers Jax and start taking it to the
rack:facepalm:

[ziggy]

Philly doesn't even look like they are trying. I guess they are trying to get in on the John wall sweepstakes.

[Marvel]

We actually increased our lead with Jax out

[Woodsy23]

the hell is up with these Bobcats? philly are asking to be thrashed...:facepalm:

[ziggy]

Wallace is flat out killing it.

[Marvel]

What i'm talking about.Wallace is all talk the talk, walk the walk

[ziggy]

They need to save some of this for the playoffs.

[Dr. Blotter]

DJ babay!!

[Dr. Blotter]

Yeah Larry!!!!!!

[ziggy]

Time to get Gerald out of there.

[Dr. Blotter]

Gerrrrrrrrrralllllllllddddddd!!!

[Marvel]

What i'm talking about Wallace

[Marvel]

mmmm 4 minutes of some rookie action

[spectre]

Hah...NOW the stream comes back!

[Dr. Blotter]

Yeah Bobcats!!! Way to step it up!!!!!

[Dr. Blotter]

Gerald on the radio interview:

Says playing with Jax is great

Says the team is still missing something but is doing good during their play time.

[Marvel]

We're missing a low post scorer is what we're missing.

Milwaukee up next girls......can't wait

[spectre]

Nice way to close it out! Crash came on strong, TC looked like what we traded for and Felton with yet another strong game.

Even DJ turned it around in garbage time to get a fair stat line, tho I'm disappointed in that 4th quarter D the starters (with TC) dominated on D for the most part.

Great win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ohara831]

Great win to get back the momentum.

[BRNC]

Moments of sloppy play (third quarter) surrounded by a very impressive team win...and a step-up effort from Crash...

[King Taharqa]

1 away from our first 40 win season in franchise history. Keep whooping teams asses Bobcats!!!

[Marvel]

I never thought i would see the light at the end of the 30 tunnel,40 here we come

[TheBeagle]

Nothing really more to add that hasn't been said, so I'll just echo the good vibes from continuing to add to the franchis record season wins, now at 39, and getting the stink of the TOR game out of the air.

Agree with spectre's kudos list, and add in Hughesy; yeah, he had a couple bad TOs and missed plenty of shots, but his defense was quite damn good and I thought really played havok with Philly's backcourt tonight.

Let's enjoy this one, rest up tomorrow, and get ready for a massive game Friday.

[Toocool]

Great win, we need this one.

Points to note:
-TC drew fouls like a hot chick draws pedophiles.
Horrible FT shooting, need more practise in the gym
-Good defense
-Seemed like a highlight reel with several alley-oops and a huge putback slam by TC
-Big step up in the game, able to keep Iggy relatively out of it.
-Kapono dominated first half, didn't get going at ALL in the second.

A good overall win, let's go 40 wins baby!

[spectre]

Notes:

Brown felt injured forward Tyrus Thomas (ankle) and Nazr Mohammed (back) could’ve played Wednesday, but he held them out in hopes they’d be available on Friday….Nazr might return Friday!

Crash & MJ seem really tight...noticed this during the game last night.

Thanks for the backup; I did fail to mention Hughes' D.

For you Beagle:

This post is full of awesomeness.

Nazr coming back is great, excellent, top-level news. Now we have an offensive big, since Boris doesn't want to shoot unless he's in the post or has no one within 50 feet of him anywhere else. Nazr, welcome back!

As for that pic: First, why is Lexy looking stone-faced in front of them? If Tyrus could hear whatever was said so could Lexy. He does have a sense of humor, right? Second, someone needs to edit Jack's facepalm into a useable smilie for the board...like the Ham Biscuit.

[Marvel]

Nazr's back, hell yeah.We need him like T-Mac needs a time machine.
