Mortal Enemies: Pounding The Rock

Injury Update: After playing the last two games, Spencer Hawes will be on the bench again tonight. On the brighter side of things, his MRI results on his back and Achilles tendon were negative. Elton Brand will be making his return after missing the last two games and will start alongside rookie Nikola Vucevic in the front court.

On the Spurs end of injury news, Manu Ginobili and TJ Ford remain on the bench as they have for the past month.

As good as the Spurs have been at home (13-1), they've been almost just as bad on the road this season by only notching 4 wins in 12 away games. Vegas knows this and has set the Sixers as 4-point favorites coming off a close win against Kobe and the Lakers.

Do you guys think Jrue will saddle up and put some Spurs on his Air Forces?

Mortal Enemies: Peninsula is Mightier

Injury Update: Spencer Hawes will be held out again tonight with a strained achilles. His white, center brethren Nikola Vucevic will dress but we'll see if he generates any playing time.

Dwight Howard? Check. Derrick Rose? Check. LeBron James/Dwyane Wade? We'll see....

It's Friday, let's all party. The Sixers have been playing with so much swag sauce, they're dripping Swagu.

Just wanted to get this up with plenty of time before the game started but all you really need to know is that the Pistons are ranked near the bottom of the league in pretty much everything and the Sixers are at the top in most. Nikola Vucevic and Spencer Hawes won't play so that means an overdose of Tony Battie, Lavoy Allen, and Francisco Elson, who I've gotten a lot of crap for not being thrilled that the team signed him.

I'd like to take this opportunity to apologize to Francisco, his family, his fans, and the entire Philadelphia 76ers. I will never question a single thing you do from now until my dying day because I am a fan of your basketball team and therefore blindly support any move you make. This blog will now become propaganda for the Sixers, celebrating their successes and the places where success was taken from them by someone who is surely to be the Devil himself. Readers definitely would not want to go to a site who takes pleasure in disagreeing with such intelligent basketball minds and making light of their players' abilities and also poop jokes. May the Lord look down on the Sixers with favor and bless each and every one of their hearts because they are the best basketball team of all time, have absolutely no flaws to their name and will surely win the rest of their games by an average of 100 points (25 points per quarter of course, also bucket=stop=bucket).

Go Sixers!!!!!11111111!!!!!!!! YEAH WOO ALRIGHT SIXERS OK THE BEST YEAH THAT'S VETERAN GOODNESS OH HERE WE GO AIN'T NO STOPPIN US NOW FROZONE AND BATTIE THATS MY BOY LOU WILL YEAH YOU DONT WANT NONE OF THIS SEXY TIME SIXERS GOOD WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Game thread here. This is my face.

Mortal Enemies: NetsDaily

Injury Report: Spencer Hawes aka Wight Howard aka Beers, America, and Shotguns is officially out again tonight. Rookie Nikola Vucevic will dress in a nice suit alongside Hawes as he too will be held out of tonight's game.

On the New Jersey side of the table, MarShon Brooks is a gametime decision but is allegedly participating in shootaround, causing me to assume he'll be a go for tonight. Brook Lopez is still out nursing a foot injury.

Update: MarShon Brooks will not play tonight.

Vegas has set the spread at Sixers (-11.5). With the way the Sixers have been taking care of lesser opponents all year, there's no reason to think they won't do it again tonight. Although it's a lot of points, I like the Sixers to take advantage of the league's worst defensive team.

Hova's movin' the Nets, BK. BALL SO HARD!
