How Near? How Far?

C's v. Sixers. Sixers jump out to a 14 point lead in the second. C's take 18 point lead in the third. Philly goes back up by 4 in the last 2 minutes. Mark Blount misses two gimme layups. GP misses two wide open three's (not that I expected him to make them - out of his range), then PP misses right at the buzzer (pictured) and we got the loss. It's not like the C's were under any pressue or anything. They only had the WORLD CHAMPION RED SOX come out and show everyone the WORLD SERIES TROPHY before the game.
So...disappointed with the L, but lots to like. PP went off, 35 pts, 13 boards and 8 assists. We won't mention the 5 turnovers. PP is now tied for 1st in the league in scoring, thankyouverymuch. GP looked good (8 assists) and Tony Allen had a ridunkulous put back off a Raef jumper. It was Dominique-esque. TA is gonna be fun to watch. Overall, the offense looked pretty good. Unfortunately, we still like shooting jumpers too much and our rebounding is still atrocious. But hey, it's only the first game. 81 more baby!
