I'm really excited to see another round of Blatche's most awesome man to man defense in the post! I predict he'll shut Elton Brand down completely, as he does everyone else.

I think Wall has a clunker of a game tonight. He is due, and the Sixers have a pretty good D.

Just read Nikola Vucevic will be starting over Hawes.

Sheehs edit again*
Hawes AND Vucevic out. Brand is a game time decision with a stomach flu. :o

Don't worry, we're still going to lose. Anything can happen when Flip's coaching your team.

Is Brackins available to play? He'll probably get 20/10. And don't forget about Nocioni. If he plays PF, Blatche will leave him open for 3's all night.

Yeah - Sixers definitely win.

Make sure you add Thad Young to your fantasy lineup ASAP :lol:

Hope they continue their strong play and Wall outplays Jrue.

I'd love to get this win. We need to keep the team upbeat and we need a road win so we don't have to hear "Worst road team ever?" jeers like we did last year.

Not sure that will make much difference. The Wiz just lost to Boston without Rondo and Ray Allen.

For me, no game is a predictable win. You can't even predict it will be competitively played as long as Dray and McGee start or are on the floor together.

This team found great defensive starting line up through injuries.

Wall, Nick, Singleton, Booker and McGee - with Dray coming off the bench with
Mack, Crawford, Lewis, Vesely, Dray with Mason and KS as added options.

They need to go back to that and ride Nicks now hotter hand as the main scoring option to start the game, with Wall spreading it around, driving some and getting McGee a few called plays in the post. Singleton needs to take a few shots from the outside and Booker plays his scrappy game of setting all those solid picks, rebounds and put backs. If they do that, they will come out with energy and set the tone.

If there isn't enough offense, bring in Crawford and push Nick down to SF

Wall, Crawford, Nick, Booker and McGee

Then rotate out McGee and Booker.

Wall, Crawford, Nick, Vesely, and Dray

Then rotate out Nick and Wall

Mack, Crawford, Lewis, Vesley and Dray

You could even try some

Mack, Crawford, Vesley, Dray, KS
Mack, Crawford, Singleton, Vesley, Dray
Mack, Crawford, Singleton, Booker, Dray

If they get back to starting and rotating them something like that, I will get excited to watch them play competitively and win some games. If not, it is all about Tanking because that is the only thing it could possibly be about if Dray and McGee are out there together.

We are on a b2b, Philly isn't. Wall played 42 minutes yesterday.

I bet Brand plays. Still, Javale SHOULD be able to put-up season-high numbers tonight, but with Flip coaching a Wiz loss is a very good bet.

The picture of Chris Singleton in the first post is to the Washington Bullets' old logo as Jerry West is to the NBA logo.
