nerlens blocks one to end the game. are they going to be playing in the summer league championship thing? it would be a nice precursor to the playoff run this year.

Wonder if there's any chance Bader makes the team.

I thought Drew tied that show together. Their current host just doesn't have the same chemistry with the cast.

I don't know but he looked better when he was fat. And I want to cry when I watch Price is Right is on and it's not Bob Barker.

SIXERS = 22 (+32, allowed 313 points)
Detroit = 19 (+9, allowed 341 points)
Memphis = 16 (+25, allowed 221 points)
Orlando = 15 (+17, allowed 226 points)
Boston = 15 (-9, allowed 263 points)
Indiana = 14 (+22, allowed 249 points)
Miami = 12.5 (+9)
OKC = 12 (eliminated)
Brooklyn = 7 (eliminated)
Houston = 3.5 (eliminated)

Thursday = IND/MIA, BOS/ORL, MEM/HOU

Detroit and Miami cannot pass the Sixers
Indiana needs a perfect game and must win by 11+ to pass the Sixers
Memphis needs a win and must take at least three quarters to pass the Sixers; if they only take two, they must win by 8+; if they win by 7, they cannot allow more than 92 points
Orlando needs a perfect game OR win + take three quarters + win by 16+ to pass the Sixers
Boston needs a perfect game OR win + take three quarters + win by 42+ to pass the Sixers

Since it's highly unlikely that Indiana will catch us, and only one of the Orlando/Boston scenarios can happen, we seem to be in great shape to appear in the championship

The answer is I REALLY don't know because I can't think of a Philly equivalent to LeBron, someone whose departure would actively kill just about the entire sports scene in the city. The only thing I could think of is if like Lurie moved the Eagles... but the Cleveland fans have an equivalent to that, too

Pavorsky says Sixers have agreed "in principle" to take Lin and a pick. Unknown which pick. Guessing the following needs to happen:

-Hornets clear space for Asik
-Bosh agrees to sign in the next three days (before Rockets have to match Chandler Parsons' offer sheet from Dallas)
no offense but you are everything that's wrong with America

So that Asik trade hasn't actually happened yet?

Nope, not until tomorrow. Same with Salmons/LouWill, the Boston/Cleveland/Brooklyn 3-way, etc.

Don't think any deal is official until the 10th.

Cause they need to hit salary cap floor and might as well pick up assets while doing it
On a scale of 1 to Chris Brown, how pissed is he?
