SIXERS NEWS

Bucks 109 Sixers 90
It Was Over When....
The 3rd quarter ended. At the half the Bucks led by only 1, but by the end of the 3rd quarter they had exploded for 32 points and an 11 point, 79-68, lead which they would never relinquish.
The Game Ball Goes To....
Mo Williams with a game high 26 points and 7 assists, Andrew Bogut with 9 points and 7 rebounds, Ruben Patterson with 13 points off the bench, and Charlie Villanueva with 11 points off the bench.
The Stat Of The Game Is....
48 as in a 3 point field goal shooting percentage of 48 for the Bucks on the night, to just a 3 point shooting percentage of 25 on the night for the Sixers. The Bucks rode their high percentage to 12, count 'em 12 threes, which is just about enough 3 pointers to pull off a win against any team, especially the Sixers who can't really shoot 3 pointers themselves.
The Bottom Line Is....
Well, this is 2 losses in a row now for the Sixers and unfortunately at this point there is nothing but more frustration on the horizon, but hey that's what you get with a young team like this.

The Stat Of The Game Is....
2, as in 2 goals scored by the Maple Leafs in both the 2nd and 3rd periods, to just 1 goal each for the Flyers in those same two periods. The Flyers just got plain outscored and outplayed tonight.
The Bottom Line Is....
Is this team ever going to win again.

Bobcats 102 Sixers 87

It Was Over When....
From the end of the 1st quarter to the middle of the 2nd quarter, the Bobcats went on a 15-2 run to race out to a 17 point, 39-22, lead which they would never relinquish.
The Game Ball Goes To....
Raymond Felton with 9 points, 7 assists, and 6 rebounds, Gerald Wallace with 19 points and 6 rebounds, Emeka Okafor with 16 points and 16 rebounds off the bench, and Adam Morrsion with 19 points off the bench.
The Stat Of The Game Is....
51.2, as in a 51.2 field goal shooting percentage for the Bobcats on the night, to just a 44.4 field goal shooting percentage for the Sixers on the night. It's just like the Sixers' last game, the team that shot the best is the team that won, unfortunately that team wasn't the Sixers this time.
The Bottom Line Is....
Well, after opening the post all star game portion of their season with a win over the Knicks, the Sixers followed by losing to the Bobcats, who if anything are worse than the Knicks. Thus, you can see why the Sixers aren't quite ready for primetime just yet, they just aren't consistent enough.
