A win over the Clippers normally wouldn't be a cause for celebration, even on New Year's Eve. This is a bad team. So everything has to be taken with a grain of salt, or if your doctor insists, a salt substitute. But at least the Sixers ended a four game losing streak. Thaddeus Young had his most productive game in a while, 20 points on 10-14 shooting and Andre Iguodala made 14-17 free throws. Less encouraging was the team's continued futility from three point land, this time 1-9.
But the real story, dare I say it, is that the Sixers seem to play better with Theo Ratliff in the middle. In 26 minutes, Ratliff scored 2 pts, but with 8 rebounds and 4 blocks. The team also ran quite effectively with Theo in the lineup. Very interesting.
Eric Gordon is a very nice looking rookie guard with the Clippers. Gordon got out of the University of Indiana while the getting was good as the entire Indiana U basketball program has now been put under witness protection.
