All bad things come in threes and proof of that came last night when the Blazers handed the Sixers their 24th loss by way of 18, count em, 18 three pointers with the final being 114-93. Damian Lillard and Wesley Matthews spotted up beyond the arc whenever and whereever. The Blazers attempted a whopping 43 three pointers. The Sixers were down only 10 at the half, but the floodgates opened after that. MCW filled the stat sheet yet again with 17 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists. Tony Wroten chipped in off the bench with 22 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists.
Wroten and MCW did what they usually do scoring points and filling up the stat sheet, but someone else who seems to be coming into his own a little is Nerlens Noel. He's had a solid past couple of games. He's neared a double-double in five of the last six games, with one being a double double and the other being a bad scoring performance. He continues to rebound and score as well as steal and block. He finished up last night with 8 points, 7 rebounds, 4 steals and 2 blocks. He still needs improve that shot of his nonethelsss. He missed what should be a sure bucket from about 4 feet out. His motion is a little belabored and a quicker release might bode well for him. Anyway, the Sixers will get a shot at a young Jazz team that is very beatable. We'll see if the Sixers can get back on track in Utah at 9 o clock tonight.
