SIXERS COOL OFF HEAT BY SCORING MORE POINTS

Samuel Dalembert should still never, under any circumstances shoot a 3

Last night, the Sixers defeated the Miami Heat 85-77.  Andre Iguodala led the team with 21 points and someone allegedly named “Donyell Marshall” contributed off the bench.  No word yet on who this “Donyell” is (surely he’s not the 35 year old outside shooter Ed Stefanski signed in the offseason) but he wore a jersey with the #8 stitched on and made a few wacky shots, allegedly referred to as “3-pointers.”

Marshall shot 60% from beyond the “three point line”.  Readers, if you’re confused like I am, a three point field goal is worth exactly what the name suggests, three points.  Like the ibex, a successful three point shot can rarely be found in Philadelphia (at least since the departure of Korver last year).

The red hot Sixers are riding a 3 game winning streak which will most likely end when they play the Lakers tomorrow in LA and they can settle back to right around the .500 mark, which fits them like a comfortable pair of sweat pants with a hole in the crotch.
