Anyone remember the Nov. 27th game against the Bucks? I do. The Bucks were 7-4 and on a winning streak with a bright future ahead of them. The Sixers were off to a slow start and looked like a team that still had a ways to go in order to compete in this league. We blew the Bucks out that night and they haven't been the same since. Our Jan. 8th game against them was competitive and the Bucks got a little bit of revenge with a 3 point win but that was quickly corrected on Jan. 30th when we won by 43 which is only our 2nd highest margin of defeat this season. I think we continue to own the BUcks but the game will be much closer...

My Prediction: Sixers by 10+

Per your request... here is the game thread for Sunday. There's a chance I make it back before the game has ended but that seems unlikely. Either way, gents... kick back, relax, have a glass of the kool-aid, and bring home 2 Sixer wins for us this weekend.

The Bucks are an example of what happens to teams that tank.

Seriously, with all the talent they have they should at least be in the playoff race.

The Sixers will beat the Bucks by 12 in this game.

I wish Iggy would guard Michael Redd this game. Iggy RARELY draws the tough defensive assignment. I mean he is our "defensive stopper" right?

If that were the defensive system they played, yes...that would be nice to see. Most likely, they will continue to switch perimeter players on every pick or cut through the lane...similar to what they have done all season.

Welcome to the board...are you a new Sixer fan? If you get to watch a few Sixers games, you'll pick up that they don't really lock in on one player defensively. Don't be embarassed...the Sixers are gaining new fans every day, and you aren't the first one to post something like this. After you watch them, you'll probably come up with some better posts.

If the Bucks players have some sort of vengeance, they should at least contest that game. They have certainly the talent to match or beat our team. I hope our guys stay focused and do not underestimate a weaker team. Based on our last two games though, they should do fine though.

I predict a close win.

funny stuff freshie.

sixers by 15+

no revenge here. the bucks should firmly be in tank mode by now. if not, this is a good game to start.

These Sunday early games tend to have both teams coming out flat. At least Mil lacks much of a nightlife... remember how AI used to play these games on 3 hrs sleep, and still go for 40 (with that bloodshot/bleary look in his eyes?)

There aren't that many switches in basketball to support what you are suggesting. WTF are you on LSD when watching NBA games? :roll:
