The Goods On The Game, Vol. 1, No. 8

October 29, 2008

People are fleeing this place like it's on fire. In a stunning development, most of them are wearing Phillies jerseys.

Four subs and O'Neal to start the quarter. Don't imagine Jose stays on the bench too long, even though Roko's looked all right.

Got a sense this lead, six points at the moment, might be in peril. A Sixer basket here should get a timeout. No basket on a basket interference call against Reggie Evans is a break.

And here's Jose back. Guess Sam's reading this, too. Thanks, Sam.

This game's got some juice now. Sweet.

Oops. Jose hits a huge thre e but then gets his fourth personal with 9:01 left. Sam has to stay with him. Danger, danger, danger, Will Robinson.

Double oops. Jose gets his fifth with 7:50 left on an offensive foul. Time for Roko to, as they say, step up.

Reggie Evans just committed, as one wag noted, about 11 fouls on one possession under the Raptor basket and got away with them all.

Okay, gotta run for a bit.

Be back to finish soon.

Raptors 83, Sixers 72 with 5:51 left.

Doug Smith has been a sportswriter for more than 30 years, a journey that's included seven Olympic Games, numerous and varied championships and more dreary regular season games than he'd care to remember. Here, he'll talk about them all, as well as current events and pop culture. (Just don’t ask him about music nowadays — it's not his cup of tea).
