vs
Tuesday 7:30 p.m.
Toyota Center
Probable Lineups
76'ers
PG-Andre Miller 16.2 PPG
SG-Willie Green 12.6 PPG
SF-Andre Iguodala 19.1 PPG
PF-Reggie Evans 5.2 PPG
C-
Samuel Dalembert 11.4 PPG
Rockets
PG-Rafer Alston 11.2 PPG
SG-Luther Head 7.7 PPG
SF-Shane Battier 8.2 PPG
PF-Chuck Hayes 3.4 PPG
C-Yao Ming 22.1 PPG
Keys to the Game
1. do not make the sixers score 100 or more (they havent scored 100 or more in 14 of the last 16 games)
2. get physical on the boards (with evans and dalembert in the forntcourt, we need to grab as many rebounds as we can)
3. start and finish strong (this is the perfect game to start)
A.J's Record on the season
2-0

We got blown out by this team earlier, but we are at home and in a better groove. If we lose this game and knowing how we are prone to not closing out games which is possible, then it'd be a utter disappointment.

This team embarrassed us in Philly. We'd better crush these guys. Our team has the superior talent by far. If we don't win this game there is something very wrong with this team. They have to get up for this, they can't have forgotten getting embarassed in Philly.

I hope we change the starting 5 soon , we need more fire power , Battier and Hayes are offenssive liabilities and Alston as well most of the time.
Battier takes the opponotes best wing so imo Scola should start.
IMO there is more gain offensively than a drop off defensively because it will also make it easier for Yao and T-Mac.
Hayes can do very well off the bench with the small lineup , he can swith everything , bring energy and passion.
IMO this tweak in the starting 5 is needed.

yeah i agree, we should change our lineup
battier should stay in the lineup(im not saying this cause he is my favorite player) but we need a defensive stopper in the starting 5. and if we need more offense in the starting 5 adelman needs to start scola

he's not a defensive stopper. it's just that we want tmac not to guard the best scorer all the time. that's the purpose of battier.

i meant to say he is our best defensive stopper, and thats the only value he has our our team (that and corner 3 point shots)

Im feeling at least a 3-4 game winning streat coming up...And with Tmac back against the Spurs, its going to be hard for the Spurs to stop us, like its been happening for the past 2 seasons.

the rockets better win this game
portland, utah, and golden state keep on winning, if the rockets want to make the playoffs, these games are MUST WIN
t-mac needs to come back soon, the west is becoming tighter and tighter as each game passes by

totally.
Skip 11pt on 4/7, 13asts, 5 stls,
head 30pt on 13/17,
hays 17 rbs,
battier still recovering but 9 pts in the clutch time.
i can totally see how we crash the 6ers with flying color.

It would be sad if Hou loses this one. Over at the Philly board they aren't even really talking about the game they just expect a loss.
