Not To Be Overlooked - The Sixers Blew A 24 Point Lead At Home Vs. The Bulls

Yahoo – All-Star guard Jimmy Butler has taken over as the Chicago Bulls‘ leading star early this NBA season. If there were any remaining doubt about his importance to the team, he erased it in Thursday’s visit to the Philadelphia 76ers. Butler set a new career-high and matched Stephen Curry’s NBA season-high scoring output of 53 points (15-of-30 FG, 21-of-25 FT) in Chicago’s 115-111 overtime win. The Bulls trailed by as many as 24 points midway through the second quarter before taking back control against the team with the league’s worst record. The Bulls also trailed by 10 early in the fourth before Butler and E’Twaun Moore (who scored seven of his 14 in overtime) took over to capture the win. Jimmy Butler explodes for 53 points with 10 boards and six assists to lead the Bulls over Philadelphia in overtime 115-111.

And here we thought the Eagles debauchery of failure was the worst thing going last night. No no no no no. The Sixers gotta get the last word in on shitting. And it’s a good thing, right? I mean, we want this team to be competitive but still lose as much as possible to ensure lottery greatness. Tanking doesn’t take a break, even when you’re up 24 at home. You gotta be dedicated to the suck, 24/7. That means to start pumping the breaks when you’re magically up double digits and make it a ball game for Simmonds. Maybe don’t let Jimmy Butler wipe you around on the floor with his dick to the tune of 50+ points, but I guess that comes with the territory of tanking. Hey, at least they covered the spread. Shave those points, boys. Shave ‘em hard. LET’S GO FLYERS.

CUE IT!

PS – Way to get the shits at the tip, Nerlens.
