I'm predicting another win guys, 2 in a row. If the Sixers can beat a banged-up Rockets team they should definitely be able to beat the Bucks. It looks like the Sixers will catch yet another break with Andrew Bogut being questionable for the game. The only problem Philly might have is the 3-point defense. All of Mike Redd's 3's have to be contested.
8 pm eastern time. Be here. Wednesday GM will be up sometime tonight, so be ready for that too.

Free Ramon Sessions
I’m just saying – Skiles – WTF

Seriously
If they don’t want him, we’ll take him.

Scott Skiles is the opposite of cool.

What have OTHER players been told about passing to sam is the important question – i got home with about 5 minutes left in the first and sam was already out – a good sign

Seriously.
Theo got the ball under the basket as soon as he came in, in a situation where Sammy would’ve gotten blocked or awkwardly missed the layup. He cleared space and slammed it. One reason why Stefanski needs to trade Dalembert for some lint and a paper clip.

If I had to choose two Sixers to fight
in a steel cage, last man standing match, it’d be Sam and Willie.

Sam with his 2nd foul.
TV timeout. I assume Theo will replace him, but I’m hoping it’s M16.

Well sam will be back in the 3rd quarter for one of the stupider traditions i think exist in basketball – if a guy sucks in the first quarter and you bench him the rest of the half why the HELL do you ‘have’ to bring him back to start the 3rd with the starters – it’s something i’ve never understoo0d

I've actually wondered about that too.

He’s a 2nd year player who left school after his freshman year now with higher expectations and other teams ready for him

him and Speights are a perfect combo.

If one more person says we can't run with Elton I'm going to punch them in the face.
We ran with Reggie Evans last year.

Well – Reggie Evans isn’t exactly someone you concern yourself about when you are designing your offense – Elton Brand has some offensive skill
That was a HORRIBLE offensive site

yeah, i know
but we can still run with Brand.

Yes I know – but for some reason the sixers seemed unwilling to run when brand was healthy

We're not rebounding too well.
But 20-24 from the line is much better than last night.

I think for lack of a better tem he’s trying too hard and looking for calls too much – needs to focus on his game

I'm starting to realize that without Brand
We’re not a top 15 team

With Brand not that much better without the right coaching
by jemagee on Jan 7, 2009 6:54 PM PST up reply actions
Even with the right coaching.
There’s just something missing. Shooting would help.

Shooting would help – a low post offensive threat who also knew how to box out for rebounds would help – a better bench would help.
It’s astounding that people thought adding Brand was going to cure so many ills
by jemagee on Jan 7, 2009 6:58 PM PST up reply actions
Are you insisting that Brand
doesn’t box out for rebounds or that he isn’t a low post threat?

Does this game feel like it's been on for 5 hours to anyone else.
Or am I just tired and/or this is a boring game. I don’t like watching the Bucks.

It’s pretty boring – and the sixers look god awful – so that can’t helop – it’s not fun to watch when they look like crap

At least I can play Rock Band after this.

I believe a ‘drum game’ is in development somewhere – sucks about your drum kit

But I’m hear to tell you, playing the Rock Bands drums on expert is as close as it gets to playing the real drums.

Just the overall badness of it for you.
Not that I don’t eat or drink other bad things, but I figured I could live without soda. Unless I’m eating a burger. I have to have a soda then.
