SSBA

Wow. How big is this game. We fell to 8th last night, even though we didn't play, because the Cavs won their game.

Also, the Wizards and Pacers both won, so they moved 2.5 games up on us.

The Celtics still have us by 2 games, so this game tonight will decide if we have a chance.

If we win, we are only 1 game back, with 5 to play. If we lose, we are 3 gam,es back with 5 to play.

Here's what it comes down to. if we lose this game, we will play Miami, or best-case scenario Detriot in the first round. If we win, we could play Celtics, Bulls, Pacers, Wizards or Cavs.

sounds like neither iverson nor webber will play.

I will be absolutely stunned if AI doesn't play.

That sucks. That is going to make it very hard to win. Although we did it last game.

I don't want to rip either of these guys, because I don't know how much pain they are in. But both have played through injuries, and this is easily the biggest game of the season. Easily. This is a must win, and both our superstars are sitting out.  :roll:

You know if Iverson is sitting out, it must be bad.   And if his thumbs are in that much pain, there is no way way I would want him playing.  That is a guaranteed 7-25 shooting night.
And Webber, well...  If his injury makes him slower defensively then he alreadt is, let him heal.  He would just be a defensive liability.
Plus, Rodney will get a chance to take revenge on the organization that blew him off in free agency.  And he is probably better at defending Walker's outside shot...

Well, we beat the Wizards without our two superstars, but it will take another big game from MJax/Willie, etc to make it happen. I think Willie should be able to break down their guards.
KK needs to have 20 tonight.

Definitely the biggest game of the season, I wish I was going.

I just wish i could watch.

I'm gonna have to follow it on NBA.com.

According to O'Brien from his pre-game comments, AI and Webber are both likely going to play and start.

That is awesome. Then we have a great chance.

Walker is back for Beantown, but he only played 25 last game.

Great start! :)

54-50 Sixers at the half. Man, we HAVE to pull this one out.

Terrible 1st half of the 2nd quarter, but they got the lead back. Sammy has been nice, not just tonight. He's really improved offensively, and double-doubles are the norm for him now. AI with 7 assists at the half, that is great. Webber needs to hit his jumpers, he's a little off so far. This game is big, they have to get the win.

THat was a nice start to the half. KK43.

Wow, offensive fouls gainst the C's...I love it :)

lol, the announcers are right, AI does deserve and Oscar....the 2nd one MIGHT have been a good call but the first one had no chance of really being a foul..not gonna complain though

I wish I could see it so I could agree with you...but I only get about 20 Sixers games a year.

no ESPN2???

Nope. I live near Toronto.

that sucks, the Sixers have been playing OK, too bad Iggy is in foul trouble though, I think it would be a double digit game if he didn't pick up his fourth

Yeah, I'm just following it on the net, so I 'preicate any commentary :)


Great game by Iverson.

i'm scratching my head at MJax taking the 2 biggest shots in the game :evil:

Fuck. We're done. Det or Mia in the first round, out in 5 or 4.

actually, I think we match up well w/Miami, call me crazy

Better him than C-Webb; MJax was 4-6 before the last two misses (8-8 from the ft line), and he's been hot the past couple of games.
What a disappointment.

that loss will really hurt philly. if you look at the remaining schedule it will be very tough to stay at 8. miami, at indiana, at new jersey, mil and atlanta and the nets at Indiana, at Toronto, Philadelphia, Washington, at Boston  

the only pos. is that i think miami is resting wade and shaq so this could be a win, indiana is fighting for a playoff spot and reggie is insane at the moment so i guess it will be a L,mil and atl should be wins so it will be decided agianst the nets ?????
the nets will win against washington possible nothing to play for and boston, lost to indiana and may win in toronto (not so sure but i think toronto will show up for this game for vince  :lol: )
the nets will own the tiebreaker if they win.

i like these close races before playoff.....

I think we will get hammered by Maimi, because they well recognize it as a potential first round matchup, and go out and send a message.

We should most certainly get to 41 wins, which is .500, which I feel will be good enough for 8th.

Damn, this sucks. We better hope to get that 7th seed, because it will be much better to face Detroit than Miami.

At least it would be fun to face detriot. We have a pretty hardcore rivalry with them in recent years.

But we are 3 games behind Boston, 3 behind Wash for 6th and 3 behind Indy for 5th. I don't think we catch any of them unless we beat Miami. Which probably ain't happening.
