[外電] Three things we saw last night

Metro  Feb 4, 2009
Game at glance: Celtics 100, Sixers 99     by Adam Levitan

Three things we saw last night:

1. Game Changer: Reggie Evans

How does one of the worst shooters in the NBA make the fans chants his name?
With hustle. Evans got the Sixers back in the game in the second quarter with
steals, rebounds, putback and effort. The fans yelled, "Reggie, Reggie, Reggie
," during a first-half timeout.


2. Benched: Elton Brand

Its getting almost too painful to even talk about- let alnog watch. Elton Brand
was a complete nonfactor once again, scoring zero points in eight minutes. He
didn't play at all in the second half, and now we can officially pose the
question:
Is Brand a bust?

3. Significance:

How do they respond? The Sixers had the game won on an Andre Iguodala jumper
with seven second left. And then Ray Allen ripped their hearts out by hitting
a 3-pointer with 0.5 seconds on the clock. Losses like this can linger. The
Sixers blew a 17-point second-half lead Saturday.


Up next: vs Indiana Pacers(19-30) tommorow night at 7.
Our take: If Elton Brand is going to break out, maybe he'll do it against one
          of the smaller teams in the NBA.
Injuries: None of note
Key stat: Fourth-year swingman Danny Granger is averaging 25.5 points per game
          this season. Nobody on the Sixers team has ever averaged this much
          for a season.
