The 76ers should have beaten the Spurs last night. They failed on their near last 11 possessions on offense allowing the Spurs to steal it at the end. Young team with talent but they couldn't finish off the veteran Spurs.

Chokers choke under pressure. I hope I'm wrong, but Jennings might shoot 25% tonight.... and that's on layups

I'd look for Beno to cause some trouble for their non defending, point guard lacking backup back-court.

Do you mean you're not impressed by Royal Ivey and Maalik Wayns?

Sorry to be negative, but this just reminds me too much of last year when all Jennings had to do was have a good game against Derrick Rose on national TV and he could make the all-star team. Then he had like 5 points on 2-18 shooting or something terrible leading to him being "snubbed" and his month long temper tantrum. Trade him now before the tantrum starts again. Again, I hope I'm wrong!

No, but I'm sure they are great dudes. Add Nick Young to that mix from a defensive standpoint.

Some of you guys may know me on here, but I don't post much. I live in SE Alabama so not much opportunity for live games here. Closest place is Atlanta (4 hours). I usually go to 2 or 3 games a year. I went yesterday to the ATL vs MIN game. I was down by the tunnel before the game and talked to Ridnour for a bit. I gave him a "Fear the Deer!" and he laughed. I then told him I wish he had never left Milwaukee. He said "I didn't want to leave man". Just thought I would throw that out there. I wish we still had Luke

Well the Sixers lost last night, have been struggling lately and the Bucks are coming off a 3-1 road trip, I'm cautiously optimistic that the Bucks can keep this little winning streak going, but I don't know why they always seem to struggle when they play on national tv?

Let's hope the Sixers are tired tonight, and Brandon Jennings has a big game which could help his chances to get him into that All-Star game. I'm not looking forward to the frigid walk to and from the parking structure to the BC, hopefully when the game is over it will be worth it!

That's a great story! I feel the same about wishing Ridnour was still on the roster. Glad to hear he wanted to be here.

This is a typical Bucks trap game. Except instead of Detroit, we face another one of our notorious streak-stoppers in Philly.

I still remember that game a couple years ago when we started 6-2 or something and then layed an egg against Philly in an empty Bradley Center. Season went downhill from there.

If the Bucks are truly different this year, they will win this game.

So its all about this one game? Thats some pressure.

As far as the ASG goes, this probably is the deciding game for Jennings.

Gotcha.

They have to win this and come out strong. Jennings has some motivation tonight and I expect a good game from him. A good game to gauge what sort of team this is. The Bucks have an opportunity to knife a playoff rival in the gut. Losing tonight is a huge setback for the team and Jennings All-Star chances.

They better play well tonight because I am braving these artic conditions to attend!

I'm suddenly getting NBAtv in my DIRECTV package - does that mean that FSN is going to be blacked out and that NBAtv will be available for me tonight?

Really is, actually. Even if he was just looking to be nice.

Get this win tonight!!! This could be one of those games where Brandon shows up big to punk Jrue. This would be a great game to get at home.

What hilarious about it? I still think Holiday is a much better player then Jennings. His supporting cast, specifically on the defensive end which win you games, is no where near at the level of ours. They're not a good offensive team besides Jrue and their defense is atrocious besides Jrue. It should be an easy win.

At home with the 76ers on the second half of a back to back. If this isn't an easy win then I don't know what is.
