Sixers Snap Spurs? Streak

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Now with a win tonight against the Mavericks, we will be in the lead of the Midwest. Again, thank you!

<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Derrick Coleman and the Philadelphia 76ers capped a trying road trip with an unlikely victory.

Coleman collected 20 points and 11 rebounds and outplayed Tim Duncan as the Sixers won in San Antonio for the first time in 18 years, posting an 83-77 victory over the Spurs, who had a 13-game winning streak snapped.

I was mad at my Spurs for that. Let their long streak be snapped by an Iversonless Sixer team?

Then again, Philly was really saved when Ginobili got hurt and Duncan didn't have a good night, either. Oh well. Gotta commend them, though - they played their hearts out.

 

I didn't get to see the game, but it seems as if the Sixers played a great game, with some really good D to get the win against the Spurs.

Eric Snow played a great game by gettin the line and gettin easy points for the Sixers along with help from the rest of the starting line up.

This is odd, Sixers had 8 peopel play and only 2 points came off the bench. Every start had over 10 points... Great team play by the Sixers and great win, hopefully AI is back soon.

 

Spurs with a tragic showing. You don't see many of those from that high caliber team. Nonetheless, the Spurs win streak was snapped. Huge game from the 76ers, because Iverson AND Aaron McKie were both injured and they were on the road!

I thought that too, Snow is a great defender though. What surprised me most was Derrick Coleman....how did someone so lazy get to play so well. Congratulations Sixers for a well earned win! Hopefully you can keep this up, what happened Duncan? Ginobli hurt, no, Malik Rose did his duty as always.

 

There's the possibility Duncan is still feeling it from his ankle reinjury.

And this game really shows you two things: How valuable teamwork and hustle are, and how important Ginobili and Duncan are to the Spurs' team.

 

The Sixers had a ridiculous amount of turnovers, but the Spurs couldn't get their shots to fall.

Tim Duncan looked worse than Shaq from the freethrow line as well. You could tell that it (his freethrows) bothered him throughout the game.

 

3-13... that'd bother me, too. He did have a streak were he went 0-7.

 

finally the sixers won!

 

This is great! :mrgreen: This means the Sixers sweeped the season series. Coleman played like old himself and I can't say that Kenny had a bad game,15 rebounds and 12 points.

 

Well, we won a high scoring nail biter in the preseason. Does that count? xD

 

A win is a win and congratulations to the Sixers, however if Tim Duncan wasn't a dolt at the free throw line the Spurs would have easily won. There's no excuse for a veteran like Tim Duncan going 3-13 from the line, he missed 10 free throws! Overall he is pretty good from the line and averaged about 75% the last two seasons, he even made 17 free throws from the line against Utah; This season he is only averaging 62%. Perhaps hack-a-shaq can now apply to more than just Shaq himself .
