Looking at the swagger of this team, it appears that they're quite fearless out there & didn't give a crap about the odds against them....look out worlddddd!

Yep ... that is about it. Put 2 quality bigs on this team and they are ready for primetime.

this is a good quality win with more tough games ahead this week and will prolly andre miller out. i like the grit of this team.

question? does this team have enough cap space to add an elton brand type of player?

Now...let's see how we can badmouth this win...

1) Hey - the Pistons didn't have all of their players...!

(Well...ummm...actually, they did...)

2) Big game my Andre Miller...

(ummm...no)

3) Well...they might like to fast-break teams, but against good teams like the Pistons, when teams grind it into the half-court, the Sixers can't get it done...

(bzzt! Please try again...)

If you would have told me that in Detroit, with their entire starting lineup, and with the Sixers running with a backcourt of Lou Williams and Rodney Carney, the Sixers turn the ball over less than 10 times and hold the Pistons to 82 points.

Sweet.

LOL .... Well, thank you for that genuine attempt at a compliment ... I know it is hard ... but you did it ...


In spite of Iggy and Williams conbining for 7-32 we still win the game.I will take this win with a big smile, in spite of Iggy's stupid shots down the stretch.

This is the 76ers 3rd statement game in the last few weeks. This game is the biggest of the three since the Pistons are a team in our conference.

Tonight's game marks the most important game in Rodney Carney's career. He had a serious impact on this game. Now that we are making our approach into the playoffs, we could use more of Carney's scoring in the playoffs. This game really happened and we won.

Looking at the boxscore, the Sixers shot 40 percent while Iggy was 6-22? How did we win this game??? Not that im complaining...

It's because the Sixers do not depend on Iggy to win.

Anyone hear what the status on Miller is...If he's out for more than 2 or 3 games, we're in trouble. No matter how well we did today, Miller is the engine of this team. We need him back pronto...Hope its nothing serious.

HAI GAIZ. It's me and yes after a long hiatus ( School and Smash Bros will own yer life) KNUX'S UNREADABLE SILLY GAME RECAP NOW WITH MORE UNINTELLIGABLE TYPING.

Miller: Got owned by a floor and sent a broken-down robot to play. I'm on to you Miller. there is no way a guy can play that many game consecutivley...

Iggy: Played well.......unntil the turn around high shot thingy......WTF was that? When I saw him clear out everyone I was expecting him to cross over Tayshawn Prince ( Literally breaking his ankles) and then somehow summon Fredrick Wiess and jump over him for the win.......Any real player who can win a CHIP , can do that.

Lou: David Lee didn't just hit him, he stole his soul. Why else would he be playing for the knicks? Obviously God cursed him with that once he found out about his soul stealing powers. Zombie Lou didn't play that well. but It was good d on Billips at the end.

Thad: Didn't play in the second half..so I didn't see much but guys whats with all of the Hyperboles? OMG ROY MVP BME.....seriously.

Evans: Mr. Baldspot just plays well.......and he foughthard against the other Mr. Baldspot.

Emobert: HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN TO ME I'VE MADE MY MISTAKES.
yes you did make a whole butload of mistakes........but good rebounding.

Carney: When he's not planning to take over the world, Iggy creates robots.........obviously thats who this guy was.

Smith: T-rex arms need to release the ball higher.

Overall a good game..the refs and Dalembert tried to steal/give this game away at the end and Rip and Billips played like crap but it was a great win for this young team.........this Kool-aid is the ****.....

This is Knux-Future, I'm done here.

Huge road win. 8) They really gutted it out and a great 2nd half performance by Carney. Win or lose this team has become very fun to watch. The last 15 games or so they have been playing at a much higher level.

Ha ha, good stuff Knux. :lol:

I'm gonna love reading your posts during the playoffs. Let's see how you make good out of the losses we rack up.

.

I was able to watch most of the second half. Great, great win.

Just looking at the box score it looks like we won because we took a lot more shoots than the Pistons (81 - 65) because we out rebounded the Pistons 39-32 and had a lor less turnovers 7 compared to 14. That is your ball game right there.
