It was Andre Iguodala's (ihg - woh -D AHL' - uhz) tippin of Chris Webber's missed layup that give Philadelphia the victory over the Timberwolves. It's a small wonder that I witnesses it. Just earlier in the day I was reflecting on Stephen A.'s postulating about the Sixers in this AM's Sunday paper. In summation, Mr. Smith's comments where a bit if a re-run ... the Sixers are going nowhere ... somethings gotta change ... trade for Ron Artest (may that's a new one) ... trade AI, or maybe fire Billy King! To say such things in lite of another heroic Friday nite overtime win is a bit incredulous.So I am sitting in front of my TV on a Sunday afternoon (1PMEST Start) watching this horrendous display by the Sixers on national television. Listening to Mr. Walton repeat the same cliches about how poor the Sixers are. They're shooting less than 30% in the 1st half. When the score ballooned to 19 in the 3rd, I was certain the network would switch over to the Nuggets -vs- Spurs game. That's why they schedule two games like that on a Sunday afternoon, right? For those times when the feature game is a dud.
But the T-wolves are a bit of a fraud themselves and for all his size Kevin Garnett can come up incredibly small in close games. The Sixers storm back and Iggy's tippin seals the deal.
Maybe the script will play out as everyone says, but if you just went along with the program and turned the game off ... you missed a heck of a finish.
