It's just one game but OH MY GOD DOES IT FEEL GOOD!
Stars: Evan Turner, Jrue Holiday, and THE BOSS HIMSELF, Louis Williams.
We're still fighting. We're still alive. I love you all.

How many times have we lost close games this year!?!? Finally!!!
How fitting is it that ET hits the FTs to seal it. LOVE IT
I haven’t been this pumped after a win since they beat the Magic on that Thad layup two years ago.

I really enjoyed the win over the Spurs this year.

I’m still stunned by those back to back three’s. First Jrue with the non-chalant sort of shot and than Lou with the ARE YOU KIDDING ME shot. ET sealing the game with the free throws was just icing on the cake.
It had to do with the fact that there was plenty of time on the shot clock, they were down only 2 and it was not within the flow of the offense. Wanted him to drive the ball.
They were actually only down by one, so I was also expecting him to drive the ball. I’m glad the three went in though.

Evan Turner, Lou Will, and Spencer Hawes are trending. The Sixers Big Three is clearly better than the Heat Big Three.

SO is
“LeBrick” and Skip Bayless. It’s a good day to be a 76ers fan.

I am 100% sure that’s Mo Speight’s hand.

I vote for running up the block pumping your fist, jumping over cars and running on roof tops just to get started.

What makes this game so great is that in just about all of the previous meetings against these guys and in most games in the season we’ve seen the Sixers lose the lead and the game.
Down 3-0 many teams would have mailed it in. I saw the Pacers Bulls game and I wanted the Sixers to do the same thing like the Pacers. Nobody gave the Pacers or sixers a chance but both teams prove everyone wrong this weekend. Im not saying Sixers can beat the Heat again, but this is just such a huge win.
Evan Turner showing signs of why we took him at #2, Holiday hit that big three. I can do 10 years of that duo doing their thing.
I'm tired of hearing about money, money, money, money, money. I just want to play the game, drink Pepsi, wear Reebok---Shaquille O'Neal
Gotta love this team.. the amount of heart and underdog fight that they have in their minds, makes me love em…BIG SHOUT OUT TO LOU AND JRUE FOR GETTING IT DONE
This is why i love being underdogs. When we win.
It’s that much sweeter

what if we won game 1?

THIS IS MIRACLE IN THE MEADOWLANDS NUM-BER TWO!!"

Doug made a great point for people that wanted a lottery pick, what’s the difference between pick 14 & 16? This is a lot better for the young guys
and league uncertainty.

Doug was saying that he has some good players and the core of a real team. Even if they aren’t ready yet, they’re getting closer and some of these players will be on the team when it is a real contender.
elton's got ups
can we just take a moment to reflect on elton getting enough lift when we needed him most to block lebron’s shot at the end. the young kids and the vets all contribute. love it.
Yaaaaaaay we finally closed a close game! This is what we’ve been missing all year pretty much – pulling out the win in the waning moments. Good job to our boys – for those moments when we were making it happen, the announcers seemed like they were excited for us….of course they were just calling the game, but I can dream :-)
Glad to at least get a win for the home crowd tonite. Indiana avoided the sweep and we did the same, I’m happy :-)
Everybody made a big deal about Carmelo and the Knicks. If they get swept, we did better than them against a better seed. HA HA

I just want to throw in the joy I have that we ruined the (slim) hope that this supposed juggernaut could run the table on the playoffs.
Also, Evan Turner showed more and more flashes that he can be a star. Let’s run and offense through him next year and see what happens.
ALSO FINALLY someone (Thad) showed some fight by bumping heads and Hawes with the hard foul on LeFraud. I’ve been saying we should’ve been banging and getting T’s and flagrants here and there to throw them off.
its 6:00am here in australia
guys, guys… its been an absolute pleasure reading everyones comments for the last couple of years. never felt the need to comment until now – you cannot imagine how satisfying it is to watch our young sixers win against all adversity albeit a single 2010-2011 playoff with, thus far.
as a sixers fan since the barkley/dawkins/gilliam/hawkins/bol/anderson/charles shakerlford (hahaha) era ive endured way too much heartache.
this win give me hope for the future – i thought weatherspoon was going to be our saviour back in the day, but TURNER is going to walk on water and turn GARBAGE INTO GOLD! LOCK ALL WINDOWS AND DOORS – TURNER IS CLUTCH!
happy easter everyone!!!

you guys are the funniest posters ive ever read on any forum/blog especially when the sixers are getting smashed!
even if our sixers get reamed next game, for some reason, i could not care so much because of this win (i thought they would get swept).
guys, i havent felt this good since NIKE brought out the barkley 180s!
young guns were really clutch this game. glad collins had some faith to keep them on the court.
in regards to funny posters
I usually bring the shake to Michael or Tanner’s bake!

And to make this an even better day, the Knicks are about to get swept.
They’re going home, they’re going home, tell the world they’re going home.
I will not.

I will not because the Sixers are going to come back and win the series.

By the way...
#SHOWYAMUTHAINLUVMUTHAAHS!!! :D
It had to be said.
Evan with huge plays, capped by a nice pull-up to answer Wade’s dunk and 2 free-throws to clinch it (come a long way from the Wizards game earlier). Lou shut up the haters and had a huge 4th and a ridiculous game winner! Jrue with a Chauncey-esque 3 in Wade’s face! Brand swats LeBrick outta there! What an amazing day to be a Sixer fan. Win or lose next game I don’t care! This team’s heart and desire is unprecedented, and I’m so proud of them.
The refs missed one...
…I’m sure the crew chief is getting a nasty phone call from Der Stern right now about that Brand block on LeBron…. :)
Wow
both the sixers and flyers avoid elimination today…..
am i dreaming?
The only difference...
…is that the Flyers have at least a theoretical chance of advancing… :)
So I take time out of my day to host the parents for dinner...and I come back to check on LB and don't see any Natalie? What gives?
Problem solved bitches!!
Oh and Happy Easter to those celebrating.
