    No way that a fire sale doesn't go up...

    Everybody will be diving in to take a bit of flesh like a piranha. Who goes? I say Thad. Young.

    Turner looks like a sure thing, hopefully to the Bobcats who are desperate for a playoff birth.

    I wish we could have gotten Thad.

    He wanted to come here too.

    Warriors leading Sixers at the half 66-33 .... That, my Rocket friend, is how you're supposed to dominate an inferior opponent.

    Come on Sam Hinkie, the Morey Help Hotline is open all night long.

    Why couldnt the Rockets face the Sixers when they completely have thrown in the towel? Early in the season they still competed pretty hard after winning their first 3 games.

    Are the sixers blatantly tanking or are they just that bad? Even tanking teams can usually make it look a little less obvious than this.

    Could still happen. Asik, Brewer, and one of Jones or DMo for Hawes and Young works on the trade machine. I think Hinkie would do it but would Morey.

    Well, you don't get extra ping pong balls for losing by 40+, right?

    Yes sucks we had to play the "hottest team and one of the top records in the league - Sixers" who were hitting fadaway contested 3s all over the damn place. At least we still got them at home later in the season.

    OK, there are bad teams in the NBA and the Sixers are one of them. But this losing by 40+ on 2 straight nights deal isn't just a talent problem or a young team problem. There's something extra wrong with this Sixers team right now. Do they hate each other? Do they hate the coach? Have they collectively lost the will to live?

    All of their players are on the trade block, and it's kind of hard to get motivated knowing you might not stick around.

    It should be motivation to play well so you have some sort of value and Hinkle can trade you

    The Sixers are a combined 5/45 on 3 pointers during the last two games.

    I think the baby mamma drama is affecting PG's game.

    I think George let all of the media hype about him being an MVP candidate get to his head, and he's simply regressed back to the player he actually is.

    Agree somewhat -- the timing of his regression is awfully coincidental. I think his performance tonight was a product of coaching decisions, though. Denver's interior defense is virtually non-existent, so it made total sense for Vogel to lean more on Hibbert and West.

    PG was already starting to regress before the drama started.
