Basketball: Celtics beat Sixers, Thunder win

Apart from the obvious – that Okafor, at age 19, is not legally permitted to consume alcohol – the incident raises a number of troubling questions for the Sixers and for Okafor, whom the franchise selected with the No. 3 overall pick in last year’s National Basketball Association draft out of Duke and who leads the team in scoring, averaging 18.4 points per game.

Needless to say, this hasn’t been an easy time for anyone associated with the Sixers.

“It was definitely dumb on my part”, Okafor said following the team’s shootaround Friday in Houston.

“We are all staying together, working extremely hard”, he said.

“We were tight and we missed a lot of shots, and they were dominating us in the paint as far as blocking shots and at the rim and everything else”, he said. “It’s a matter of his timing being a little off”.

It’s not just the players frustrated with the losses. 76ers third-year coach Brett Brown said. “It’s something that I am embarrassed about [He is] still dealing with the league and the team”. “I think that was just the result of them thinking they are just drafting the best player that was left on the board”, Okafor said when asked about the team’s drafting process. Jahlil was heard screaming at the other man, saying, “We got money you broke ass n****”.

Durant, playing only his second game since returning from a hamstring strain, piled up 30 points in a decisive win for Thunder. a third consecutive victory. “We haven’t seen the W or the benefit of that effort”.

Nicholas Batum scored 16 points and had 11 assists, and the Charlotte Hornets used a big fourth-quarter run to beat the Washington Wizards 101-87.

Philadelphia was very much in the game but showed zero poise in the last six minutes, wherein they only managed to score three points. It was not enough for the 76ers to hold their lead against Boston.

According to the Inquirer, he exchanged words with a heckler outside a Philadelphia nightclub in October, and as Okafor left the scene with his teammates, the heckler pointed a gun toward Okafor’s head.

“It doesn’t happen often”.

“I know that there are people like that that try to anger you”. “Whatever it takes to win, that’s what I’m going to do”.
