I don't know how we can lose to the knicks? Of course we can, but we won't.

I hope Lee gets knocked around a bit. I still like his game, but he needs to get payback. We need to bring back Deke and his free flying elbows.

[UptownPhilly]

Mutumbo has the sharpest elbows in the history of the NBA.

It looks like we'll be the 6th worst team in no time, maybe there is hope for securing a top 3 pick, if we break the top 5.

I've never seen so many noses "accidentally" broken by one man.

From you mouth to....

I think we have been pseudo-tanking for a while now. We play Thad and Lou all through the 4th quarter in order to give them valuable experience at the end of games. It may not be costing us wins, but sending out our least experienced players in crunch time doesn't hurt our lottery chances- and it helps our players develop.

So much better than sending out Joe Smith and Miller to close out close games.

You can say that again.

Sixers win this game by 7.

[The Guilty Party]

Man... if we could just find a way to lose these next three... it would go a long way toward further cementing us in the Bottom 7.

[Fire BK]

I'll be at this game, representing 215.

I know it's a crucial tilt for the Rose Bowl... but both my heart and my moral compass will prevent me from rooting for the home team in the Garden tonight.

Plus, there's nothing better than hearing the FI-RE I-SI-AH chants.

Anytime a Philly team can contribute to abject misery of NY fans... I'll sacrifice the long-run prospects for a good night of hilarity.

Hate the knicks, but think the Sixers lose this one.

[The Guilty Party]

After the month of November passed.. I thought for sure that by this time Andre Miller would be on another team and Isiah Thomas would be in the unemployment line.

[BRIGGS]

Come on beat us tonight. I could care less about ping pong balls--I just want IT out--for that to happen--we must not show 1 scintilla of hope it seems. The basketball Gods will reward you after the season!

After last year, ive learned nothing is cemented until it's clinched.

1> How many of the next 3 do we win? Knicks, bobcats and Bucks are all beatable. I guess 2 wins and newspaper columns about renewed hope.

2> Who scores more: Nate (irritate) or Lou?

3> More O-boards: Lee or Young

4> Does someone trty to give Lee some payback?

[Mik317]

all I got to say Reggie is going to be grabing some balls tonight..................................................

[Cru Thik]

Where is Derrick Coleman when you need him.

[Mik317]

lol, I stil remember when he choked Reggie Miller................ah the good ole' days.

[UptownPhilly]

4> Does someone trty to give Lee some payback?

Don't forget Reggie is the Notorious N.U.T. grabber

[sec-106]

Sixers +2.5.

I'll give 'em.

[tk76]

So, sixers win by 2, and Lee looses 2, and his manhood.

[Ganon19]

wtf was that salmi..

[Cru Thik]

Salmi trying to get fired I think. Iggy playing like a mad man first half the 76ers still down lol.
