Almost lost it in the end, But Mandry and AB bailed our asses. They should stop that habit of standing around too much, especially Ariza.
Wow, the fans sure did leave the Wachovia Center quick. Overall, strong performance from the team, great desperation play by Scola.
great win against the Sixers! AB and Trevor Ariza came alive in the 2nd half and Landry off the bench with 20 points! what a beast!!
missed the game until the 4th....all i can say is why go away from carl late...and landry continues to impress me, who else in the league, as a post player, can take off from outside the paint and still hang in the air to re-adjust his shot?
Except Ariza, Luis seemed listless and lackadaisical to me too, no energy somewhat. if without AB's 3rd quarter outburst, we would have not come back and seal the deal in the end.
Hey - how 'bout that Argentinian Two-Step?? I had to laugh when Bullard commented on Scola's hair - "How could he see with that hair in his face?".....he looked a little bit like Wonder Woman (not that I'm really complaining - that was a great move). I found it a bit weird that the 76er's arena was almost dead quiet during the first half of the game; not only were the fans quiet, but the announcer and the sound fx were also - but then it really got noisy later on. Personally, I sort of enjoyed the lack of white noise during the first half; it was just the game, and the players. You could hear the sound of the ball, the squeak of the player's shoes, the calls and the curses from the floor. That was the nitty gritty of the game. I was happy to see Chase doing so well, especially as compared to the Cavs game. I guess even the best of players have games like that.....
Surprisingly, this was one of the most exciting games of the season. Rockets defense is just amazing. I am starting to think the Rockets are the deepest team in the NBA. When TMac comes back and if plays at 70%, the¥ might be too deep, as a Rockets fan, did not even think was even possible in Basketball. They might need to do a 2 for 1 trade... Which makes me sad, all these guys play amazing.
I Love this team!!! Scola's Hustle and Brooks' clutch shot on the broken play. Also gotta give props to Iverson, looks like hes starting to play like a All-Star again.
AB was on fire tonight, that deep 3 in the 3rd quarter had me rolling. Buddinger got his shooting touch back, and the bench kept us in the game throughout the first half. And Scola with that HUGE save. This team is so much fun to watch. 76ers are just not playing smart. Late in the 4th when they have AI, AI2 and Brand, they let Green of all people shooting 20 ft jumpers, with Battier all over him. Coaching FAIL. It's good to see AI out there though. He seems to be getting back into his old self.
