Heck yea its still shameful to lose to the Bulls

BULLS 94 76ERS 88 All the accounts I heard or read about the game was conciliatory. It was "well the Bulls are a decent team now" or "they played with C-WEBB". I even heard "that AI's 11 turn-overs" was "not bad considering the fractured thumb". That's a load of horse manure. A good team wins that game. Eleven turn-overs for one guy is a lot if your offense runs thru that one guy. The Bulls are a sub-500 team and you need to beat them if you are going to be an above 500 team.

The Sixers were not "stifled". They stunk! Scoring only 33 points in the entire second half! No one is going to confuse the Bulls with the Detroit Pistons any time soon. Ben Gordon and coach Scott Skiles did not come up with some masterful defense to stop AI that no one else has thought of this season. Maybe it had something to do with Kyle Korver contributing only 4 point on 1-2 shooting, because he sat out most of the second half. "They were playin' a big 3 guard line-up" coach says. So now the other team is dictating to you "Mr. High priced" NBA coach?

Now I admit there was some work on hand when Chris Webber pulls up lame before tip-off and Rodney Rogers was hobbled with foul trouble almost immediately. But the Sixers' Bigs where being dominated by Othello Harrington not Shaq!

Then it was that lame play at the end. Where the sixers fail to score and down by 2 positions ... Coach decides not to foul! The Bulls run it down to 11 seconds and we didn't have a shot to win.

Whazzup wit dat coach?
