    i've said all along they'll win around 35 games. they are not as bad as most casual observers think. there are some decent pieces in place and they are in just about every game until the last few minutes.

    i agree with your second point--their problem is they have nobody to turn to who can take over at the end of the 4th quarter. there's a great article by that kate fagan chick on philly.com today talking about this same exact thing. every game, they give this guy the ball at the end...and just about every time he lets them down.

    yeah ... but what do you expect from a guy who had his best success coaching michael jordan ...

    all the sixers need to do is learn to play in the 4th quarter ... run the same offence and limit the turnovers and they will have success in the east ...

    please define 'success'

    they are heading for a 7 or 8 seed. and they're gonna get killed come playoff time. then end up with a mid round 1st round draft pick.

    they're on the repeat cycle...same shit every year with this team

    caught another break and took advantage of it again :thumbup:

    no thanks to andre iguadala's 3 for 12 from the field though. the 3 for 10 from the line didn't help either....3 for 10 at the line?!??!?! what is he, on a 12 year old rec league team or something? how the hell does that happen? good god.

    When I saw 17 for 24 from the line as a team I thought, "how is that possible? Awful." And theres your answer.

    They would be better served missing the playoffs, praying for a lottery daay miracle.

    too much talent to tank and have any real shot at a high lottery pick.

    hopefully teams aren't too afraid of this iguadala injuries and we are at least able to unload him by the deadline...

    at least they're more fun to watch these days.

    it only takes a shot. i think the bulls had a 1.7% chance of getting rose. you just need to tank in a year that a home town star is coming out. any good philly ballers this year. :lol:

    it ain't happening man.

    a win tonight would make them 4-4 on their toughest 8 game stretch of the season. i would have been happy with 2 wins. they play well without iguadala too.

    Washington might want to think about taking Henirich off Williams. He's getting abused.

    jrue holiday's averaging 20 pts and 7 assists over the last two weeks...shooting 54% too.

    that's phenomenal.

    Sixers are favored by 1 tonight vs the bulls. That line makes no sense

    they have Bulls -1

    They must be Punishing the Bulls for their poor showing vs. teh Nets the other night. They must have also forgot that 45 point blow out a couple of weeks back.

    I would have the bulls at -7

    I can't see the Bulls losing back to back games vs. bad teams.
