lol, the magic announcer called our lineup on the floor "mad chuckers"

can anyone confirm what the magic announcer said? he just said we're going to have $14 million rather than the $10 we thought. that would be pretty huge.

I give Calvin Booth credit. He stands in and takes his beating and draws the foul.

I'm going to admit this..but it's hard

Willie Green *gulp* has been playing well lately.

WG has been playing well...shot has been falling, and he's always been a scrapper otherwise. If his shot is falling, he's fine.

The Magic just keep shooting jumpshots ... I don't get that. They have much more size than the Sixers ... Why don't they force it into the paint and cause the Sixers to foul ... They could foul out our "big" men ...

I am not big on blaming coaching staffs ... but ... shouldn't they instruct their players to work the ball into their BIGS ???

dear lord, what's gotten into this team? i understand we're catching orlando on the back end of a back-to-back roadie, but.... i think stefanski's decision to extend mo at the trade deadline showed a lot. while other teams were shedding players and contracts in commodified firesales, the move to extend mo exuded a real committment to the core of this team. i think it did wonders for morale.

This is just one of those nights, but I think it shows some of the potential that exists. They still need pieces, but think about this team with another solid big next to Dalembert?? You probably have to over pay, but Okafor or Biedrens in the starting 5 would really be nice.

Our smaller guys are eating Orlando alive. This is great. :clap:

Another half to go...let's get through this and pull out a win. Would anyone be shocked if this is closer than a 10pt game either way at the end?? I'd be shocked if it wasn't.

Yeah they're too good not to make a run. We'll see if they can hold it.

Just saw a replay of Thad stealing the ball from Howard then dribbling the ball up the court and finishing with a nice pass. Awesome to see.

Well, Howard is 6-11 and Turkoglu and Lewis are both 6-10 ....

LOL ... You may be the first of many who will be "gulping".

It is only 1 game but I think (hope, at least) the Sixers have solidified their shooting guard position.
