Philadelphia has no direction, strikes me as a bunch of guys just running and jumping after a ball to provide competition cause they have to. It's like it's a dead end job for that franchise right now. The energy in the building even for Friday will most likely be awful,nobody really knows what's going on with that roster, the ordinary fan probably still thinks Iverson is over there. No Joe Show but I expect a comfortable win tonight, a take care of business game before the Miami collision tomorrow.

I'd rather Marvin be constipated and playing hard than relaxed and bumming around on the perimeter. Just sayin.

all the guys on this board saying al has a better offensive game than josh, have obviously never watched a hawks game.

he has 0 post game at all. all he can do is hit a 12 foot jump shot.

Your agenda against Horford is still as strong as ever I see.

Wrong night to argue pro-Josh. Al's consistent mid-range is a more dependable weapon. Josh has more possibilities in his offensive game, but it can disappear as well.

Impressive to overcome bad offensive nights by Josh and Al to win one. Marvin stepping up. Props to Larry Drew for playing a non-conventional lineup instead of going down with a cold Josh.

Much props to LD being flexible enough to ride Zaza instead of Josh tonight, and keeping Bibby in.

Turned on a terrible game with about 5 minutes to go -- things apparently changed fast.

Marvin will be a old man one day, bouncing his grandchildren on his knee, when he finally realizes how talented he is.

I missed the game, but from the box score it looks like we really didn't come to play, so I hope we come out strong against Miami tomorrow.

^ They need to come out strong AND stay strong for 3 hours. They come out flat and they won't have a chance to get back up like the this game with the way the Heat are playing.
