Overview:
Season | FG% - Qt 1-3 | FG% - Qt 4 + OT | TOV% - QT 1-3 | TOV% - QT 4 + OT |
---|---|---|---|---|
2012-13 | 42.8% | 39.0% | 10.1% | 14.7% |
Career | 43.2% | 41.7% | 10.3% | 12% |
Sixers pick (currently 3rd):
- Sixers lost (good): The good: the Sixers picked up a clutch loss. The bad: We had to watch that game. The loss keeps the Sixers a win behind Minnesota for the race for the second most ping pong balls.
- Minnesota lost (bad): Minnesota continues their skid, having now lost 5 in a row. They played this last game without Ricky Rubio and Pekovic. They’re certainly not good enough to be losing key guys at this point.
- Lakers lost (bad): The Lakers teased us all once again, as they kept the game close all night against the Warriors, only to lose by 3. Lakers still have only 2 more wins than the Sixers.
Days Rest | Games | FG% | 3pt% | PPG |
---|---|---|---|---|
0 | 22 | 37.1% | 26% | 12.1 |
1 | 38 | 43.4% | 44.4% | 13.6 |
2 | 17 | 45% | 33.3% | 14.4 |
3 | 5 | 39.3% | 50% | 13.4 |
Lakers pick (top 5 protected, currently 4th)
- Lakers lost (bad): The Lakers missed a(nother) chance to pick up a win on Orlando (4 more wins) and Sacramento (5 more wins). With only 16 games left for the Lakers, you’re really just hoping they don’t move up from 4 at this point.
- Sacramento lost (good): Sacramento fell to Atlanta, and have now lost 3 in a row. They’re still 5 wins sup on the Lakers.

Philadelphia | 26 |
Opponents | 72 |
Heat pick (top 10 protected, currently 11th):
- Heat won (good): The Heat pulled out a much needed win over Cleveland. It temporarily bumped the Heat into the 15th spot, but the teams behind them are playing really good basketball.
- Charlotte lost (good) / Utah won (bad): Except maybe Charlotte. Boston and Utah passing Miami isn’t a problem if Charlotte and Brooklyn don’t. With Charlotte’s loss, it drops them to the 10th slot. Really have to hope they struggle down the stretch. Utah’s win puts them in a 4-place tie with Boston, Miami, and Indy for those last 2 playoff spots in the East. Utah has won 6 in a row. I put Utah down as bad just because I want a backup plan, but they’re passing Miami.
- Boston won (bad): Boston beat the Sixers, which was to be expected. Boston has now won 5 in a row and is tied for a playoff spot (with Miami) in the East.
- Indy lost (bad): Indy lost to Toronto, which was a bit of a surprise with how well the Pacers have been playing of late. The loss drops them back to that aforementioned tie.
- Brooklyn won (bad): Brooklyn won, beating Minnesota. Brooklyn is still 3 wins back of Miami.

Oklahoma City Thunder pick (top 18 protected, currently 18th):
- OKC lost (bad): OKC lost to Dallas, which decreases their lead over New Orleans to only a half-game.
- Ibaka injury (really bad): Worse than the loss was the news that Ibaka will see a new specialist, with the expectation that he’ll have surgery, and miss some time.
- Toronto won (bad): Toronto beat Indy. The Toronto win, along with the OKC loss, puts them 3 games up on OKC in the 21st spot.
- Washington won (bad): Washington beat Portland, which puts the Wizards 2 games up on OKC.
