Probable Starters



Honestly... I have no clue who will win this. I suspect Mo will want to get the bad taste of losing out of his mouth so I suspect we'll see the starters play normal minutes hence...

My Prediction: 76ers by 5+



Eastern Conference Playoff Match-ups

[1]Boston Vs. [8]Atlanta: Boston won season series 3-0

[2]Detroit Vs. [7]Philadelphia: Season series tied at 2-2

[3]Orlando Vs. [6]Toronto: Orlando won season series 2-1

[4]Cleveland Vs. [5]Washington: Season series tied at 2-2

The problem with resting our starters is that it's our bench that is actually winning games for us. If anything, we should rest Lou and Thad - and Iguodala if he's hurt, and let the starters log most of the minutes. Here is a game where I play Jason Smith, Booth, and Ollie lots of minutes - maybe Shav too.

If OlLie plays big minutes then expect us to win by like 30.......I mean it is Kevin Oliie.....

Could this be Emeka Okafor's last game as a Bobcat?? Fitting that it would be against us since we'll probably be the team going after him.

Great point. I seriously view Okafor as one of our most viable options this summer. His production has slightly declined from last year to this year and I'm not so sure that a lottery team like Charlotte will make a comprehensive effort to match offers to Okafor... especially if we break the bank on him.

but does anyone think okafor would take this team where it needs to go? We would have two offensively inept bigs. okafor offers very little in the way of offense in the post(he does shoots a great fg% though). His passing isn't very good at all as well.He might not give this team what they are looking for offensively. You have to respect him more than reggie evans but he can't run an offense through the guy, which is what we (at least i would) would like to have in a pf.

defensively no brainer. great man defender, great help defender. very good on the boards and w/ daly in the middle its a complete block party.

I don't know, I'm kinda torn on the guy because our halfcourt offense wouldn't significantly improve.

The defense would be killer. It would really help us as we are trying to build in the mold of the Pistons with no star player.

If we want to get out on the break we need both rebounding and good outlet passes. I know Sam is weak in this are, what about Okafor? Also, Thad, Sam, Okafor across the fron is a little thin in the ballhandling department.

I think resting players that need it is far more important than hitting the .500 mark. I'm hoping Iguodala doesn't risk further injury by playing.

I read that Popovich said he would rather have a lower seed and a healthy Ginobili than a higher seed and an unhealthy Ginobili, and I can't see how anyone would disagree. It's the same case except we have our seed locked up. I hope Iguodala doesn't play.

Haven't had many chances to see Emeka play so I'll watch him closely tonight. I would prefer some other guys over him like Brand or Odom, but if we were able to get him he would help us out a lot.

Sixers -2.

I'll give the points.

Hope Mo gives Shav a start.

Is this going to be like summer-league? Are we going to see some LouA.

We have not one consistent jumpshooter, yet people want more defense. We need interior scoring.

Can somebody let me know if Iggy is playing before 7pm EST in the Philly area? It's the last day of the fantasy season and every decisions counts if I want to go home with the hardware

+1

I wish Willie Green played every quarter like he does the first

wow. that sucks if felton was injured in the last damn game.

man. if we lose this game, how many will that be in a row? 4 game losing streak??? Poor way to go into the post season.

If they were going to rest their starters anyways, I don't know what the point was in playing Iguodala at all.

consecutive games played streak?
