Game 40 (1-18-13): Sixers (16-23) vs. Raptors (14-25)

[sixer04fan]

your points are a bit confusing.

So how about Nick Young's 3.1 rebounds per 36, or 2.0 apg per 36. I mean, you did just say Nick Young is better at EVERYTHING than Evan. Please make a logical argument as to how 3.1 rpg and 2.0 apg per 36 > 6.7 rpg, and 4.3 apg per 36. Because now I'm starting to think my understanding of math is pretty off, and as an asian that's awfully concerning.

Hahaha yeah if Seoul's math is off there's no hope for any of us

Evan didn't have that bad of a game. Sure Turner could have done better but it wasn't one of his worse games IMO.

A ringing endorsement.

Woopdie doopdie

Without his contributions what Jrue and Thad did late would not have been enough.

Complete ********. Evan's first half was the most UN-impactful half of play by any starter in any sport in any game, ever.

[2-ONE-5]

prove it

[RickyPrior]

No doubt, teams have definitely clued onto Evan's game, and hopefully he'll adjust.

Yes. Now they just ignore him.

Before the season started, I CLEARLY remember arguing with Ricky whether or not Evan could be a 15, 7, and 4 player. He came to the conclusion that he could be a 13, 6, and 4 guy this year.

And what has he done? 13.8 ppg, 6.7 rpg, 4.3 apg. He is what we thought he was going to be.

Yes, now that you mention it...I have been right on the nose with my Evan assessment from the beginning, haven't I.

[Airevo76]

On a side note, I really like Terrence Ross on the Raptors. He has a smooth shot, he's quick, and athletic. He can be a really good player if he's put in a better situation.

he was the guy I wanted in the draft

love the dude's game. Athletic dunk-specialist who can shoot the three? Yes please.

Yup, he was def one of my favs if available at our pick. If we moved up to top 10, I still go with Drummond tho.

[RickyPrior]

Waiiiiiiit a minute so his 7 assists must now be ignored? He got 5 of those assists with Jrue off the floor and had it not been for his playmaking we would have gotten blown out of the water ever worse in the first half. I really question what games you guys are watching sometimes.

Playmaking? In the first half?

You are completely making this up.

Evan had SIX of his seven assists in the THIRD QUARTER, *********. A quarter in which the Sixers shot SEVENTY TWO PERCENT.

72%

So not only are you exaggerating the importance of his handing it to guys who couldn't miss...you are projecting these events as if they occurred at a time when we were struggling.

And the fact that you would KNOWINGLY do this tells me that even you, down deep, know that what I've been saying for 2 1/2 years is accurate:

Evan is mediocre. And often times less than mediocre.

I have no since edited my post. Typo on my part I meant to say after the first half.

72%

Handing it to guys. So you're telling me that Evan's assists are a result of hot shooting? The 76ers team who are below average in terms of FG%. That is COMEDIC. Why wasn't it a case of Evan passing the ball to the player in a good position for him to score that resulted in the assists thus aiding the 72% shooting in the 3rd quarter? Tell me Ricky why?

[RickyPrior]

Yup.

Of course (*******)

Why ELSE would it be that Evan never dishes SIX assists in a quarter? Coincidence that it was one in which the team shot SEVENTY TWO PERCENT.


Stop embarrassing yourself. It's pathetic.



And this is the WEIRDEST game - ever - for the Evan Man-Lovers to crow. He didn't impact that game even 1%. You have legitimate HEROES you could be discussing.

Better if you just quietly move along and hope people that know basketball don't even discuss ET's ineffectiveness.

Great gif of Bynum's reaction to one of Jrue's drives:

So awesome haha

Not quite...

You said he'd average 11 ppg. Me and hydro said 15.

Looks like neither was right.

Season's still young.

And the way he's been playing? I'm afraid I may have been too high.

So Evan is a PointGuard nd Jrue can play the two. J Rich go to the bench and have Wright start at the 3 Thad at the 4 nd Bynum. This looks pretty solid.

[Shkelqim]

Plus we still will make the playoffs. Mark ma words Mudafukaszz

NO! NO! NO! Evan isnt a PG and we dont want nor need him to be he is a pass first SG. They exist get over it.
He is not Taking Holidays job at PG and we are not putting Jrue out of position for Turners sake.
