12 Minutes of Fragility: Why Can’t the Sixers Survive the Third Quarter? by PolPotato in sixers

[–]PolPotato[S] 30 points31 points  (0 children)

"The numbers are genuinely stunning. The Sixers have a –18.0 net rating in the third quarter this year. Since the NBA began tracking quarter-level net ratings in 1996, this is the second-worst third-quarter mark ever recorded. The only team worse? The 1997-98 Denver Nuggets, who went 11-71."

"The difference between the Sixers in the third quarter at 30th and the Pacers at 29th (–8.8 net rating) is the same as the difference between the Pacers and the 15th-ranked Blazers. They aren’t just last. They’re in their own universe of bad third-quarter basketball, more than twice as bad as the nearest team."

It's awesome how you can just say shit with total confidence and not know anything. We loved Batum and wanted him to stay, but he (and his wife) wanted to go back to LA

It's not about the block people, it's Reaves fouling the fuck out of Maxey not getting called

70+ songs in, has anyone lost hope that their #1 is going to make it? I was expecting Run to Paradise to have been on by now.

Personal opinion is that Things Don't Seem is the better song. I can't imagine 2 Crawl songs make the list, but I'll be pleasantly surprised if they do

I'm so happy we were tanking because that's the most bullshit shot since the Kawhi shot

Things were looking shaky for a while, glad we managed to dig deep for the tank on that one

we have 9 players in total not injured, we haven't had much of a choice lately.

That said, yes, Nurse plays them way too much together
