It's been close to 2 months since we've lost back-to-back games but it could happen here. I really don't have a good feeling about this one but our young guys have bounced back strong before so who knows. EIther way, I'm gonna go with the Cavs in a close one hence...

My Prediction: Cavs by 3+

I would agree with you in most cases, but the fact that Cleveland is going to play a tough game vs the Pistons tonight makes me think we'll sneak one out tomorrow (especially since I'm sure we're pissed about getting destroyed yesterday).

But if Cleveland gets blown out tonight (which I don't think will happen), then we're screwed tomorrow.

TGP, have you checked the Sun's thread lately to see what I found at the game? I'm sure you'd be interested.

I missed that but man.... that is awesome. Seriously, I've been waiting damn near 10 months to get my hands on this jersey and I have yet to see one in a store. My guess is that one was a custom made throwback but who knows.

4 and a half gold stars to you for not only seeing it but taking a photo for me (you received a half-star deduction for not snatching it off of the guy and then not giving it to me). :-)

Dude you got this all wrong, its MINE lol. They sold them at the store near the front of the Wachovia Center.

Now can I get my half star back?

Sixers need to win this one. We may face the Cavs in the first round of the playoffs.

The guys should come back with a vengeance after that Phoenix game.

Sixers by 4

WOW! You can have that half star back if you can tell...

A) How much you paid for it...
and
B) Did they have other styles of it as well???

I got it for 55 (pretty reasonable, especially considering I haven't seen one otherwise) and they didn't have any other styles.

It was weird though, because only the Iguodala jersey's were out at the beginning of the game. When I came back at half-time, they had the Thad throwback and a Miller throwback as well.

Hopefully they make more styles soon (I'd love a black one).

biggest game of the year...the Lakers will probably bounce back with Gasol returning and beat Washington so we need to get this one and climb closer to 4. its still a possibility!

Tough one tonight...Lebron and the Cavs had a lousy one last night. Looks like they're down one big man as Wallace left the game with back issues, but Lebron will probably come out fired up tonight. Tough match up tonight.

Sixers +4.5.

I'll take the points.

eyeatoma · Post #14 » by **eyeatoma** » Sun Mar 30, 2008 12:50 pm

Just to see if I got this right...you taking the points, means that you think the Sixers are going to win?

Sorry sec-106 I don't really know too much about gambling, this is all new territory to me. I just see you making a prediction using this every game.

Yep, pretty much.

Today is a sendem special... eager to see if Dala raises his game matched up against Lebron. I remeber last year, when Dala took over in the 4th and OT to beat the Cavs. We'll see how tonight goes.

I'm sure if Dala doesn't step it up we will hear about it, and if he does the crickets will be out in force.

No joke... Is the fact that last night I dreamed we traded for Brand a sign... or a sign I need serious help?

Hopefully, by this fall you all will be calling me the prophet. Kool-aid anyone?

BTW- I need more exciting dreams...

That's Ok....I've been watching John adams on HBO, and last night I had a dream that I was controlling late 1700s Philadelphia with some sort of Wii/ power glove sort of device.....climb inside MY head and crawl around for a while!
hahahahaha

Taking the Sixers +4.5 means I think they will either win the game by any amount, or not lose by 5 or more.

(Cavs win 88-84, add the 4.5, and the Sixers cover the spread 88.5-88.)

Maybe we all have been drinking too much. Time to slip some Prozac into the Kool-aid.
