Really excited for this game. Jokes aside, 76ers have been playing well lately - they were tied with ATL with 3 minutes left in the 4th earlier this week, were actually competitive against CLE in CLE (unlike us), and just beat Denver to make it 3 wins in their last 5.

Philly is playing Boston the night before so we get to catch them on the second night of a back to back.

Sorry JDR, too excited to wait for your official thread.

I hope we come out focused like we did with Denver and build a sizeable lead so Vonleh and Hairston can get some good playing time. We need them to be ready in case someone gets hurt or we make a consolidation trade.

One of the rare occasions when Charlotte come to my city that I won't be able to attend. Should be a win for the Hornets. Just make sure the wing defenders stay attached to Robert Covington and Hollis Thompson on the 3-point line and it should be a easy one

I hope we aren't too full of ourselves after a couple of nice wins. We aren't good enough to sleepwalk to victory against anybody.

I think last night proved to the team that they can't sleep walk against anybody. The only way we win that game is we have other worldly performances from role players (Hendo, Maxiell) and everyone else hustles their asses off.

Better come out focused. Philly plays hard as hell.

or more Hairston and less Lance, depends on your point of view.

No MCW, is that good news or bad news?

He sure does seem to miss a lot of games?

You can never tell with him. But I'll say it's probably good news, they're down Wroten for the season so I'll take my chances with their 3rd PG.

Granted that we literally have no offensive firepower this is a trap game from hell. The Sixers are terrible, but they play their asses off every single game.

Well Tim Frazier played 35 minutes for them tonight at PG. Im normally pretty keen on the college ordeal, but I've never heard of him.

Frazier comes to the Sixers via a D-League call-up, Philadelphia’s third of the 2014-15 season. In 27 games as a member of the Boston Celtics’ minor league affiliate this season, the 6’1” point guard has averaged 15.9 points (45.1 FG%, 27.5 3P%), 8.9 assists, 6.7 rebounds, and 2.0 steals per contest. Over his last three games, the pass-first 24-year-old has totaled 40 assists (13. APG).

Turns out he went to Penn State. Was apparently a pretty solid player for them averaging 18.8, 16.3 and 14. his redshirt senior year.

I hope we get to unleash Elliot Williams. This is the kind of game he should be able to play well in.

Win tonight and tomorrow and were 14-3 in our last 17 games.
