In the immortal words of Walter Sobchak, "Mark it, Dude". The Sixers have lost back-to-back games for the first time in 2 months and so I just don't see them making it 3 in a row against a bad Nets team hence...

My Prediction: 76ers by 10+

We need to right the ship here, Sunday was one of the toughest losses all season, because we had that game in the bag and we let it go.

I think a nice shellacking would do us nicely.

So...Willie Green is STILL starting huh? I expect a loss of epic proportions if he starts

Agreed, we need some positive vibes back here. The Sixers need to get back to where they were crushing marginal teams by 20+.

Toronto won tonight while Washington is getting it's doors blown off by 30 in Utah. It looks like Toronto is going to be tied for the 5th seed at the end of the night.

Toronto has a really easy schedule the rest of the way. It's going to be tough to regain that 6th seed. Maybe if the Wizards drop some more games, they can drop to 7th.

We were supposed to have it after the first half. We played them out.

I felt like it was close to being in the bag when we were up 3 with the ball with only 1:20 left but then again, a 3 point lead is barely in the checkout line and not in the bag.

No time to waste

It's time to win the next two road games against the Nets and Atlanta. That would be the best penicillen for the 76ers.

Expect the Nets to come out with a lot of energy as they need every last win to get into the playoffs.

Sixers need to come out of the gate with the mindset solely on defense. Pressure them and frustrate them offensively. We can't lose this if we want any chance at the 6th seed.

so Mo decide to start Thad or Evans based on matchups
Kristic is known to play mostly outside and take the outside jumper , i think this would be a getter fit for Thad then Evans
yet Mo srart Evans who runs all over the place instaed of styaing with his man and big surprise, Kristic is getting open shot every time...

It is apparent that the Nets are going to go to the basket with the ball. This will be a good test for the Sixers to stop that.

The entire first half when we went up 11 like 4 different times. We had a chance to kill them early and we didn't.
