this the first live blog of cityofpain. chances are, it’s going to suck worse than billy king’s contract negotiations.

Pregame

first miller lite in, should have been molson. ho, canada.

why does iggy look like carl weathers at the end of rocky I? get some sleep young blood.

why is someone’s mom saying “that andre igwadola is so well-spoken” right now? and where is the love for reggie evans? if samuel dalembert is the best shot blocker in the league, doesn’t that level of bs mean reggie evans cured polio?

1st quarter

hey, we won the tip. it’s a start.

well, this has gone to shit. halloween, a live blog and a girlfriend do not work.

notes from the porch:

3 millers in, pizza on the way…good times.

jason smith is steven hunter with skills, ambition and hustle. there’s a joke there, but i’m not sure what it is

2nd quarter

more notes from the porch:

kyle korver likes the back door…

how in the world do the raptors have no free throws? me thinks there’s some ole going on.

maybe samuel dalembert is the best shot blocker in the league. he just made chris bosh look like steven hunter.

oh boy…new sixers pregame show. that’s worth the $100 it’ll take me to get to the game with my girl.

i miss todd mccollough…like the deserts miss the rain.

chris bosh is better than you…or me…or any sixer. if he’s not an all-star, the nba is gay. oh wait…

halftime

hooray. billy king spouting off bs. i can’t wait.

3rd quarter

so bad i don’t even want to waste words on it

4th quarter

well, we’re down six right now. it seems like toronto is easily confused and covers the black guy (reggie evans) rather than the white guy (kyle korver). not so smart.

what is the canadian industrial techno horseshit they’re playing through a whole raptors possession. is there not a rule against this?

this is a little late, but I was really disappointed when the sixers missed on jason smith because the heat drafted him a pick ahead. nicely done by billy king (you will NOT hear that a lot around here). big for little…always smart.

i’m a little troubled by sammy’s shooting line tonight. admitedly, i’ve haven’t seen every shot, but if he’s taking shots in the flow (no set plays, mostly o boards and bad switches by the raptors) there’s no way he’s 1-7 with no trips to the line.

make it rain iggy. marc zumoff’s slacks are moist.

at 5:06, violet palmer just proved the point of why she sucks at refereeing. she’s on the baseline, there’s a charge/block desicison. she does nothing. she looks at the white man. what the hell is the point here?

andre. andre. andre. slow down. you’re not a guard. to tj ford, you’re a giant. and you’re toast.

sammy. sammy. sammy. don’t run at a jump shooter. especially a 7 foot italian, 7 feet behind the line.

jon runyan’s hairy sleeves = my next fantasy football team name

we used to call tyrone hill, “the bat” I need a name for reggie evans.

give and go. christ. andre is fun.

even when reggie evans is surrounded by four raptors, i still think he’s got a great chance to get the board. as opposed to steven hunter, who would likely lose out on a rebound to the ballboy.

well, this looks like a done deal. down 9, :51 to go.

14 games in nov. 8 home, 6 road. but 8 east, 6 west. that’s a problem unless its the dregs of the west. and we’re not usually that lucky.

what is this shit? four corners?

nice soccer flop. puss face.

and so it goes. sixers lose. they look mostly respectable. i think that’s their marketing promotion this year. your philadelphia 76ers, mostly respectable basketball for the whole family.

thank you for making your way through this. i’m off to buy some all you can eat seats for the home opener.
