Game 5: Sixers @ Magic game thread
Are the Sixers done? I've said it before and I'll say it again, do not count this team out. If I had to give my keys to the game, they'd be simple -- shoot well and play good defense. The biggest key of the series was to shut down the three, and the Sixers have done a good job of that, yet they're still tied 2-2. The Magic are supposed to dominate tonight, but everything in this series has gone differently than expected, so who knows. Game five, let's do this!

The difference between a 3-1 series lead and a 2-2 tie is monumental. The Sixers were placed in this same scenario last year, and took a 10-point lead into the locker room. Whether is was complacency, experience, or sheer talent, the Pistons came out in the second half and dominated the Sixers for the remainder of the series. Will history repeat itself? I hope not.
A win tonight would be huge, huge, huge. The Magic would be against the ropes, the "experts" heads would explode, and Hell would freeze over. Let's do this!
If you need a little extra pumping up this morning here ya go:
One thing I failed to mention in my recap was how good the Philadelphia crowd sounded on TV. Even though the game wasn't sold out, the fans who were there made up for it. Let's get a repeat performance shall we? "Reggie, Reggie, Reggie!"
Let's do the thang Sixerland! Shock the world!

Forget everything else -- this is all that matters right now. We're seven hours away from the biggest game of the season. It's make or break for the Sixers. Which team will show up? Which crowd will show up?
Throw out all the stats and history. This game's going to be about adjustments and execution. The team who executes their gameplan more effectively will win the game -- simple as that.
- Don't double Dwight.
- No uncontested threes.
- Less than 20 minutes for Bill Green.
- Bench production.
- No foul trouble for Sammy and Theo.
- Energy, energy, energy.
