It’s live journal time. The game, Sixers vs. Bulls, The Sixers are the No. 6 seed, currently a half game back from the Heat.
The Bulls are No. 7, only two games back from the Sixers. Never tried live journal before, we’ll see how it goes. I'll try not to sound too much like Bill Simmons. Sixers, Bulls, TNT. WE LOVE DRAMA
7:57: Just put the finishing touches on the world famous salami-provolone-pepper relish on wheat bread, a college staple. A few minutes early and I’ve stumbled upon the closing minutes of a Law and Order gem, with Chevy Chase guest starring as an anti-Semitic father who tricks his son into killing the producer that cancelled his TV show. So I got that going for me, which is nice.
8:00: “Just seven nights left in the regular season...Thank God” blurts out Charles Barkley. Gotta love Barkley, more to come on this later.
8:03: Boring TNT pregame intro, yada yada yada, this calls for the first Yuengling of the night.
8:05: “Don’t Sleep on the Utah Jazz”- Barkley. His way of saying “I’m gambling this show's paycheck on the Utah Jazz in the first round.”
8:09: The Allstate commercial where LeBron dances in a parking lot to a bad rap song, perplexing old people across the nation.
8:12: Barkley’s big prediction for the game…”Tyrus Thomas”. No stat line, just the name. That’s sounds a lot like my prediction for the 2012 election…”Sarah Palin”
8:16: Should be a good game. Both teams like to run, Andre Miller vs. Derrick Rose will be interesting. Iggy will get his, although the degree of difficulty on most of the shots will be a 15. Sammy D will get in a good sweat. Bulls win tip.
8:17: Big block from Sammy on the first possession, a good sign.
8:20: Hey there's Johnny Salmons for the Bulls! former Sixer. I like this guy, good scorer albeit lazy.
8:22: Reggie Evans crying to the refs, Tyrus Thomas misses an alley oop. Sarah Palin!
8:23: Offensive putback by Evans, 9-2, bulls call timeout.. The kind of guy you love on your team. At the intra squad scrimmage at Penn State this preseason, Reggie Evans was throwing elbows, playing full court D, and hamming it up for the crowd. Big Reg fan, can’t shoot a lick though.
8:25: Did you know Sonic is only drive-through? This astonishing fact was mentioned to me the other day. I get the commercials now, too bad there are no Sonics in PA.
8:27: Thomas flushes home an alley oop on the break, 9-6. PALIN!
8:27: Why does Sammy D think he can shoot a 15-foot jumper?
8:31: This just in, Rose can shoot. 13-12 Sixers.
8:33: Brad Miller gets in for the Bulls. Brad Miller wins best sarcastic media quote award for his response to KG’s “we goin' to war” rant.
8:36: Sixers starting to get into the open floor, a good sign.
8:38: “Hi, my name’s Andre Miller, I like to shout loudly when I get into the paint." Miller draws a foul, 24-20 Sixers. TV timeout.
8:43: Tough pull up by Salmons. Willie Green is better than this guy?
8:45:
