Be patient on Cassell and PJ... they have to get used to our system first.

Come playoff time, they will be ready!

I think there's no other way it can be. You're joining a championship contender at the end of the season, there is no way you really stand out your first game.

I doubt PJ and Cassell's performances on the floor even matter one way or the other right now. There would have been a time when it did, but it really doesn't. This team can win and go deep in the playoffs without them, but they're here to fill in for minor minutes and primarily to provide vocal leadership; which I'm guessing means far more than what they can do on the floor at this stage in their careers.

Although I am pretty sure if Rondo went down, Cassell would be more than a solid fill-in.

There are alot of bitter sixers fans tonight over on their board.

Just makes me appreciate being so good all the more.

50 wins, my compliments to the Chef (DA).

The bitter Sixer fans just wouldn't stop, and I saw some saying before the game that they'd beat Boston in the playoffs... words like that from people make everything they say afterwards illegitimate.

Because we are a crazy happy bunch when we lose, no?

C's give up too many offensive rebounds sometimes too. It was a problem on the last west trip, and it's the only thing that kept Philly in this game ...

Sixers pretty much shut down our inside scoring last night, if they'd have hit 50% of their open looks, it'd have been a game.

1st time out, (Stone Cold)House >>>>>(Attitude Sam)Cassell. Eddie only flat out turned the ball over once on point. He can't score from the point position, though.
