Tony Parker and the big men of the San Antonio Spurs brought their pick-and-roll dominance to Philadelphia tonight to collect a win against the Sixers.

What's the biggest reason for this loss, guys? Discuss.

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?

Well, Boss.

That's another legitimate win, folks. Sing your favorite Louis Williams rap lyric below.

Lou Williams....4 MVP?

In the battle to determine who the better 16-7 team is, the Sixers and Hawks both failed because neither team is 16-7 anymore. But since the Sixers won the game 98-87, I'll give them the edge tonight.

Spencer Hawes is back.

Nikola Vucevic is back.

Evan Turner played great.

Boss.

But most importantly, TONY BATTIE DIDN'T PLAY.

Happy Saturday celebration - give me all of your post game thoughts.

Well that was an ugly offensive showing in the fourth quarter (and really the second half). Iso play after iso play after fadeaway long-two took the Sixers out of the game and allowed the Heat to run away with the victory.

Post-game it up or go out for a drink. Whatever you guys want.

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.
