Sixers @ Bulls - Dec 2 2008

[tk76-]

Thad has some fingers taped.  Not sure if its on his left hand.

[jemagee]

Thad's never been able to and is one of his major offensive weaknesses IMO.

One of willies too if i recall correctly though lou actually sucks worse than willie this year (or his shooting is so bad his PPS is under one)

[Derek Bodner]

Speights now with more minutes than Dalembert (1 foul) in the game.

After his runs to start the 1st and 3rd quarter, has Dalembert ever come back into the game after leaving?

[tk76-]

No

dabods:

Eddie in the house...very much a game they need to win...and Speights running in the 4th.

Very telling.

[bebopdeluxe]

How can Mo keep starting Sam?

Less than 20 games, and Speights is already better than Sam.

What a follow-up dunk.

[jemagee]

Ok - so i was doing dishes - but I saw some real nice plays by Speights (i think) from in the kitchen - on both ends of the floor including a pretty athletic dunk off a miss

Serously - I'm trying not to be over exuberant but this dude was a STEAL

[tk76-]

I think I saw Sam... under the bus.

[jemagee]

With 2:52 5o play

Speights 18:01
Dalembert 11:54
Theo Ratliff 9:04
Evans - ZERO

Really?

[jemagee]

Do other teams stop derrick rose - or does this always happen?

[jemagee]

Bulls getting to line in fourth - sixers not - could cost them the game?

The sixers have height advantages with brand and speights on offense - why aren't they even LOOKING to them in crunch time?

[jemagee]

Are you kidding me - A WET SPOT may end up being a deciding factor in this game - a wet spot?

[tk76-]

Sam, Thad... Deng and Noah all riding the pine throughout most of the 4th.

[bebopdeluxe]

Yuck.

[Derek Bodner]

God we need a go-to wing scorer.  Iggy is just not it.

BTW, I hate to say this in a game he shot so well, but did Iggy's shot look really bad to anyone else tonight?  He didn't seem to have any follow through.   Was short arming them.  They went in, but I don't think they're necessarily indicative of sustained future success.
