    It's great we got the W. And I'm proud of the Rockets. I feel like last year they wouldn't have gotten that win. They never gave up.

    That said, we need Bev back. We need Jones back. And we need some additional depth - preferably a big man.

    Was that really Jacoby? Looked just like him and the Ravens are on a bye.

    The Sixers deserved this one, but I'll take the win. I don't know what the hell was wrong with the team tonight. I figured they'd underestimate Philly, but even in the 2nd half they were still lackadaisical. Did they party too much in Mexico City or something? Cuz Minny is playing horrible tonight too.

    For all the swearing I made to myself during the game, in the end a win is a win. Honestly, the trip clearly showed. No one could shoot worth a damn.

    Side note: We would've lost this game last year. Our defense is legit. Last year, we lost both the Lakers and the Sixers game early because we couldn't stop the other team. This year, we're showing we can grind it out.

    They came back from another country just the other day. I can understand them being sluggish.

    LOL, well that was nearly a disaster.

    Philly was playing extremely hard tonight after getting embarrassed last night. Luckily they were still bad enough.

    Sam Hinkie isn't trying to win, but the Sixers were definitely trying to win.

    Traveling back from another country just a couple of hours ago had to play into it. Must be exhausting. no one looked right.

    But Philly played last night and is the worst team in the league. Fatigue is no excuse. Hopefully getting Bev back on Sunday will pick them up a little.

    BTW, was Daniels available tonight? If so, p-ss poor substitutions by McHale. Leaving Cisco out there is like playing 4 on 5. And on a night where you can't buy a basket, it wouldn't hurt to have a reliable 3-point shooter on the floor.
