Re: Game Thread: 76ers @ Knicks (Feb. 24)
Marc Jackson must lead the league in missed rebounds. Hopefully when Rogers is rested, we can put him at PF, and go from there. This game is still winnable.

Re: Game Thread: 76ers @ Knicks (Feb. 24)
The difference in this game was the Sixers giving Kurt Thomas any shot he wanted, what's frustrating is that they were basically all from the same distance with the same amount of defense on him every time. I mean, I won't mince my words, the Knicks are a bad team, and we played right into their hands with this one.
I mean, we let Kurt Thomas basically shoot warm-up shots all second half long. Marc Jackson will never come out on anyone, I mean Marc seriously.. if a guy has a hot hand do you think they'll just start missing everything while you're standing far off of him? Ugh, Big Jack sucks.
The fact we had no half court offense to speak of also hurt us, the Knicks completely took away the lobs to Dalembert, which is why Sammy will definitely need to work a lot with Webber and try to pick up anything he can to help his own game.
The rotations early were great, now as the game went on (fatigue definitely played a part) the Knicks got everything they wanted offensively. And they completely owned the glass. I don't understand why in a game like this you wouldn't dump the whole "switching" scheme O'Brien has to help the players out who are going through fatigue.
26-28, 28 games left in the season. Great things can still happen, but we have to do a lot to make the playoffs let alone make noise in them.

It was a loss that should have been a Sixer win. However, I am still optimistic, and I still see this game as a game when we didnt have our full team. Once chris joins the team saturday, things hopefully we begin looking better. We need to make that push to move up in the conference.

We had a ten point lead in the 3rd and we started getting sloppy and it all went down hill from there. Kurt Thomas played nice in the second half, he was hitting EVERYTHING! I guess I can accept this loss a little better because we are missing a few players from a recent trade.

Mainly the best one! I cant wait to see this team after they mesh together following a few games.

He was pissed that the ref gave him a tech for throwing the ball hard towards him as time expired.
He did it b/c he wasn't getting the foul calls from the refs. And I agree, b/c AI got fouled at least 3 or 4 times in the paint and it wasn't called.
