Washington 106 Philadelphia 105, in OT: The Sixers remain winless mainly because of stupidity. With 0.3 seconds left, the Sixers allowed the Wizards Cartier Martin shoot a three-pointer instead of fouling him. The Sixers had a three-point lead and a foul wouldn't have been that bad. Instead, they let Cartier shoot the three, swish, overtime, defeat. Doug Collins might want to reconsider going back to TNT. Meanwhile John Wall nearly had a triple double in his home debut with Washington going for 29 points, 13 assists, and nine steals, but he also had nine turnovers.
Miami 129 Minnesota 97: Since losing to Boston and beating Philadelphia by ten, the Heat have beat their last three opponents by at least 26 points. Pretty astounding when you think about it. The Timberwolves never stood a chance on Tuesday night. Dwayne Wade scored 26 points, LeBron scored 20 points, James Jones and Eddie House each added 15 points off the bench. Sure the Heat haven't exactly played world beaters lately, but their point-differential has been off the charts.
Milwaukee 76 Portland 90: This game was actually close at half, then the third quarter started and the Blazers blew away the Bucks. The Blazers out-scored the Bucks 26-17 in the third quarter and never looked back. Milwaukee played terrible defense allowing the Blazers to shot 45% from the field, while their poor shooting (37% from the field) did them in. In the fourth quarter the Blazers continued their embarrassment of Milwaukee with this Armon Johnson alley oop to Dante Cunningham.
Orlando at New York Knicks, Postponed: This game was postponed because asbestos fell from the roof onto the court. Somehow, this is all Isiah Thomas' fault.
Create a Caption: This just looks awkward.
I watched Miami last night. They look unstoppable at the moment.
ReplyDeleteThe funny part is that the Wizards had the ball in the exact same situation with 6 seconds left and the Sixers did foul. Why they did not foul with 3 seconds left to essentially secure the game is a mystery I will never solve.
ReplyDeleteDoug Collins > Eddie Jordan. At least this Sixers team looks like they kind of give a damn.
