Previous Toots: Dorell Wright, Thaddeus Young, Evan Turner Previous Boots: Nick Young, Royal Ivey, Lavoy Allen Damien Wilkins squelched the Tanking Movement. He was a wet blanket that smothered our lottery hopes and dreams with the methodical destruction of a pro wrestling squash match. Damien Wilkins was, well, Damien Wilkins, and we Sixers fans were Bob Jones, a 6'2" 245 lb. wrestler with generic black tights and boots who was billed from Des Moines, Iowa.

So far during the 76ers "Toot It or Boot It" series, we've gotten rid of The Swag and kept Dorell Wright. Up next in the series is Thaddeus Young.

Thanks to a 19-3 Sixers' run to start the contest, this game was over almost as soon as it started. Dorell Wright led all scorers with 15 points and was one of six Sixers in double figures. Three Cavs (Tristan Thompson, Marreese Speights, Wayne Ellington) finished with 12 points apiece. The expected battle between Jrue Holiday and Kyrie Irving never truly came to fruition: Irving started off 1-for-6 from the floor, picked up his fifth foul early in the third quarter, and finished with just four points in a shade under 19 minutes. Holiday, meanwhile, had 14 points on a rather unimpressi...
