Evan Turner

I was just watching ESPN highlights of the basketball games tonight. They show the Bulls and 76ers, the 76ers won and they never mentioned Evan Turners name but once for an ally-oop. So i thought he didn't have a good game, come to find out he was 8-15 shooting 7 rebounds and 6 assists but he gets no love. I beleive he has had a good season but I never hear anything about him on ESPN with 76ers. Just wondering why he isn't getting any attention for how good a player he is.

He has some breakout games, but he and Collins don't seem to get him along. They won a bunch when he was in at PG, but for the most part he comes off the bench behind AI and the other starters.

the 76ers in general get no love from ESPN... so I wouldnt look at it as a personal attack against him because he from Ohio State. in order for a non-all-star player to get named in highlights, he has to have an insane night...like 9-10 from 3 or something. otherwise ESPN would rather use half the highlights to show Derrick Rose not playing and the other half to show a few dunks.

I agree with DanCorona, the reason Turner and company are getting not love is because they are the 76ers. Chicago was a pick early to challenge Miami for the East and has been covered and billed as such all season. Chicago is the story, not Philly. And now with Rose out, the story is now all about Rose not playing. So if and when the 76ers win the series, it won't be about them winning, it will be that they beat the Bulls without their best player.
