Game 3 (11-5-12): Sixers (1-1) vs. Knicks (2-0)

[Hustla23]

Good game, doods. I think it's safe to say not having the second best center in the league and starting shooting guard makes a bit of difference. Hope to play you guys at full strength and really get a gauge for where the Knicks stand in the division. Until then, peace out.

everyone on this team is a bum except for thad,jrue, and bynum. Do something about it front office.

lol love all these overreactions 3 games in without our best player.

[Captain Moroni]

Bynum changes everything. Philly right now is an outside in team, with Bynum, they are an inside out team and that will win them alot of games.

I am very impressed with hawes off the bench. he has great instincts and great hands around the rim.

The knicks forced alot of bad shots the last two days, but having to concentrate on bynum down low will not allow them to cheat on the wing as much as they are right now,

Both teams missing 2/5 of their starting rotations, will be interesting to see them play at full stregth.

I hate saying this after you guys lost twice against us and its pretty heated here, but you guys can't rely on 1 player to change everything, because come playoff time if Bynum gets injured what happens then? Good luck the rest of the way, hope the 6'ers can leard to play without Bynum till he's back, 'cause I'd love a nice 6'ers, Knicks rivary.

Missed the 2nd half of the game cuse of the birds.... Guess it was pretty ugly?

[MylesKong]

I was sitting in ll behind bench. Didn't see Bynum in the building.

Then you chalk it up to unfortunate circumstance and bad luck.

What happens if the Celtics lose Pierce?
What happens if the Heat lose James?
What happens if the Knicks lose Melo?
We saw what happened when the Bulls lost Rose.

You don't plan for injury.

[sixer04fan]

Yeah I thought that was a dumb statement. If any one team loses their best player to injury, they're gonna have problems. No **** Sherlock.

[Mandrew]

What happens if the Bulls lose Jordan? What happens if the Rockets lose Hakeem? What happens if the Lakers lose Shaq? Spurs lose Duncan? Mavericks lose Dirk?

Come on, what contender would be able to win in the playoffs without their best player? I doubt that the old Pistons would have won the championship if Billups went down and they are the quintessential 5 member team.

[MylesKong]

^memphis. Lol

I just had a Hydro thought. Would it be the worst thing if we stink this season? FA sucks. We have the two most important building blocks IMO - pg and c. So getting a high lottery pick might just put us over the top. So long it's not turner.

I've always been anti-tank. But we were never one great piece away before.

[BChydro86]

That kid from kentucky looks good......

[BChydro86]

Although i dont believe in tanking. So for that to happen, bynum would have to miss extended time

[MylesKong]

Oh yeah right!
Wed suck if we trade Thad and spencer for garbage expirings too.

[BChydro86]

Im not trading hawes for an expiring, u crazy! He looks like hes gotten like 50% more athletic out of nowhere. I feel like he worked out like an animal over the summer and no one reported on it.

The guys i wanna trade for expirings are thad and turner.... That gives u 18mil in cap space next summer after we resign bynum.

Thats enough to get oj mayo or kevin martin or al jefferson or josh smith.... AND a good role player

Holly, my number right?
