I think that this will be a great result for the sixers going into the finals....the guy can perform in the clutch and can hit free throws when the game is on the line.

I dont get why someone did not pick him up already.

He was still getting it done last year.

At the start of the season I would have been all for us getting Lowery to replace Williams, but I think it's a bit late this far into the season. And Williams won't be out for long so it hardly seems worth replacing him for a couple of games with someone who is new to the system.

But if Maher is ruled out for a while then that would be a different story.

What if Maher was out for 6 weeks as has been rumoured?

I would still have him in the squad and get him in for the finals. If Bret or Willie was to go down just before play offs we need insurance.

Tville exposed our inability to control guards without Brett or JWill

Imagine if JR had lit it up the score would have been a blow out.

i couldn't stand paul rees before he came here - i think i can get over it

the guy is clutch - he may have flopped but the ref made the call

simple solution.... Snake, just play him!

this is the postion we are most lacking and injuries have exposed this.

Don't like Lowery myself but what if he did a cluch for us as he did against? Different story? I say get him while we can.
A guard is what we need even with Maher fit.

Lowery is a great option as a backup guard.

As for the past (Don't get me wrong I'm a HUGE Mee fan) but to even go for that block was stupid, sure get a hand out to the shooter, but don't give the ref the oppurtunity to make that call.

Lowery or a Brendan Mann or a Tonny Jensen is what the Sixers need. Where is Brad Mackinnon?

Maybe Potsie should get a run?!

I seem to recall Darnell challenging the shot and actually making a conscience effort to fly past Lowery and not make any contact at all. It was Lowery who stuck his limbs out to make contact with Darnell. If Lowery had just shot a normal shot, Mee wouldn't have touched him.

Still, give Damon some credit, he made a heads up play, called the refs bluff and not only got the call, but then knocked down all 3 foul shots.

The real debate is in the events after the foul call. As I remember it, the refs told the benches there was no time left on the clock after the foul. The Hawks then called time-out and were awarded the time-out, but shouldn't have been because there was no time left on the clock. This allowed Lowery some time to gather himself before going to the line. After the dubious time-out, the Sixers players came out to line up for Lowery's free-throws but were told that they could not line up because there was no time left on the clock. The Sixers protested because the time-out was allowed and therefore they should be allowed to line up but the refs weren't buying it. So, Lowery shot and hit all 3 shots with no line-up. If the Sixers were allowed to line up, one of them could have knocked the 3rd shot off the rim and the game would have gone into overtime. So, The Hawks got the best of both situations: with no time on the clock, they were allowed to have a timeout and the Sixers weren't allowed to line up for Lowey's foul shots. That's where the contraversy lies, not in the refs call. Considering the circumstances, any other ref would have made the same call.
