This game thread is amazing. I tip my hat off to you

[Bigmo5246]

Also this is a must win game. Can't stress that enough.

Wilson Chandler (calf) confirmed that he will play against the Sixers Friday after practicing Thursday.
It remains to be seen if Chandler will rejoin the starting lineup or if Ronny Turiaf will continue to start. Either way, Chandler is a good bet for 25-30 minutes once he gets back to full strength.

Chandler will be back, for this game, and yes this is a must win game, and Sunday's game too.

lol at the Al gif.

Must win and Philly is no push over they are playing good. I remember Brand killing us last time, this could not work out so well for us. Worse case we need to split but I think should take both games. I want to see more team ball, better ball movement. Just get the wins.

[NYBigBlueDOTCOM]

This game thread is going to bring some luck I'm thinking (hoping).

[DocZaius]

Philly is gonna blow us out of the water.

Sad but we are stepping into a buzz saw right now.

The gif sums up my reaction lol.

And what I bolded is what worries me most. With the way we handle most bigs, I'm looking for Brand to have a huge night. This guy is our biggest worry IMO.

Must win games coming up. A bench of Mozzy, Chandler, Douglas and Purple Drank would be very nice. Do it Mike.

[darthkiller]

i predict a 1-1 split.

[Iron Mantis]

These jokers always give us a hard time. They crash the boards. Elton Brand goes retro on us. Sadly, there's a good chance we lose this game.

I feel guilty for laughing at this

[King of Troy]

What is Mags compensating for with all the dancer pictures?

[Grinditout]

Obviously the first of two important games for us, a great opportunity to put some distance between Philly and us. Chandler's return will be big for us and I'm a little excited to see the Turner/Fields matchup as Turner has been playing better recently.

[Ron1]

i predict a 1-1 split.

Can't even afford a split, but then again if we lose one or both games to Suxers (I meant to spell it that way), maybe Donnie will get off his ass and get Melo.

[BelieveTheDream]

76ers have a solid team we shouldn't take them lightly at all...I hope Gallo comes and brings it also THis is a game where Mozgov we should be using how we used him 2 games ago
