I was wondering if Lou was trying to sell his bud Josh Smith on coming up north to Philly next year.


I hope not.

Let me be clear, I think Josh Smith is a good or perhaps very good SF, but I don't think he'd be an above-average PF, particularly for a team that needs an inside beast.

Just my personal preference, but if Brand or some other stud is unavailable, I'd look towards Kirilenko and Odom and Okafor and probably some others before settling on Smith.

I agree wholeheartedly. I don't know when this guy turned into a PF, but I want a real PF.

That's the closest thing this team has gotten to a nationally televised game all year.

Never been more happy I was wrong than last night.

Sixers giving 7 (?!?).

I'll take the points.

I'll be VERY impressed if they cover this spread.

Well... Orlando did end up beating Cleveland which means that the Cavs are up only 2.5 games on us going into tonight plus we have 1 more game against them. That said, picking up 2 games with only 5 to go will be a bit tough but it's definitely possible.

Holy crap.. look at Atlanta's lineup.. that's a lot of talent.


Ah ..Yes ... talent always looks better on some other team. In case you haven't noticed, the Sixers are loaded with talent also.

Just get me a 5 seed. That way we can steal one of the first two games on the road and take it from there.

Miller has that turnaround jumper I badly want our PF to have.

I wish we could play some defense.. nice shot Iggy
