"I ONCE SPENT A YEAR IN PHILADELPHIA, I THINK IT WAS ON A SUNDAY." W.C. Fields

Sixers' starters have changed; they haven't won a game,
Hope Turner makes them unhappy that back he came!
1 1/2 minutes in, first foul on KO,
Green turnover, then his block was a show!

Cs trouble with offense, then RONDO FOR THREE!
Alley-oop! To Olynyk from AB!
Cs Consecutive TOs, Sixers a 9-0 run,
Brandon Bass coming alive end of Q1.

Cs, 47% shooting, within 5 start Q2,
Cs turnovers because of sloppy passes they do.
Bass is playing alone, now the crowd is in it,
Everyone in Philly thinks tonight they can win it.

THORNTON FOR THREE! Cs a 9-0 run,
Pressey steal, barely made the lay-up--what fun!
Sixers scoring off turnovers! TAKE CARE OF THE BALL!
Brad needs to tell each C--one and all!

Crowd is booing Turner, who left in a trade!
Tie, end Q2, both sides turnovers, sloppily played.
Coach Brown's angry at his team's effort Q3,
Sully straight to the hoop--twice--and fouled was he.

Rondo rolled his ankle, stayed with his group!
Green running the floor! Rondo to Green, Alley-Oop!
AB FOR THREE! Cs a 9-0 run,
Rondo steal from Wroten, now that was fun!

Rondo to Bass! Nice pass!
By Q3, 18 points--season high Bass!
Turner and Zeller playing good D,
Turner to Thornton, THORNTON FOR THREE!

Cs aren't scoring in the usual way,
Every time to the hoop they're fouled on the play.
Cs up 5 to start Q4,
When Pressey goes "low," he can score!

THORNTON FOR THREE!
Turner and Pressey great D!
Season high for Thornton; Bench built a 12 point lead,
Olynyk raked across the face, hurts, didn't bleed.

Bass and Thornton are having a great night,
Wroten, MC-W keeping this game tight.
SULLY FOR THREE! Offense AND D we've seen.
Rondo to Green Alley-Oop, double double has Green.

Cs' second half effort, by 11, kept us in it,
Memphis game on Friday? We can win it ;)
