Sixers Blow One In San AntonioNotice, I said 43 minutes, that's because it was all undone in a miserable, horrible, gut-wrenching, 3-minute span. Here's how it happened:
It was a terrible end to a great game for this young team, and also a good example of the difference between a young team with a surplus of heart and a veteran team with ice in their veins. The final was 89-82. Andre Iguodala caught fire in the fourth, but this game was really dominated by two performances for the Sixers. Willie Green had his best game of the year, finishing 8/12 from the floor in 27 minutes of action and led all scorers with 21 points. Green played under control and really sparked the offense, especially when Andre Miller went down after getting poked in the eye. The star of the game, though, was Sam Dalembert. Sammy took the challenge of Tim Duncan head on and turned in another dazzler. He finished with 12 points, 20 rebounds (6 offensive) and 3 blocks. This is Dalembert's second consecutive 20-rebound game. Things get a little easier tomorrow night, the Rockets aren't the Spurs, but the Sixers need to regroup and put out the same effort we saw for the first 43 minutes tonight for a full 48 tomorrow night if this Texas Two-Step is going to have a happy ending. Player of The Game: Sam Team Record: 14-24 Bonus: Check back later tonight for an exclusive interview with Sixers President/GM Ed Stefanski. I had a twenty-minute phone call with him earlier today and I'm just putting the finishing touches on my writeup now. 2 Comments | Leave a commentLeave a commentLatest Posts• The Rockettes Come To Town • Iguoadala As Playmaker • Welcome To The Network • Stefanski Does the Legwork • I Hate Texas • Can They Salvage the Trip? • Dirk Is Still A Bright, Shining Star • The Trip Continues In Dallas • The Celtics Deserve Stephon Marbury • Ending On A High Note • Closing Out 2008 • Four Factors, New WorksheetSearchBlogs in The NetworkSixers BlogsPassion and Pride Sixers 4 Guidos Liberty Ballers Recliner GM | ||||||||||||||||
