*Takes a big sip of the Kool-Aid* Anyone remember the Jan. 15th game in San Antonio?? We actually had the Spurs on the ropes up until the end of the game when Ginobli went off and beat us. The Spurs are now fighting a bunch of injuries, have lost two games in a row, and will also be playing back-to-back road games. In theory, they should destroy us however, there's a reason they play the games and I think steal a win in a close game hence...

My Prediction: 76ers by 3+

5. Image 34-31
6. Image 32-32
7. Image 32-34
8. Image -4.5
9. Image -4.5
10. Image -5.5

***Notice that Toronto is now in the picture and only 2.5 games ahead of us with no sign of when Bosh will be coming back.

Good to see the Kool Aid man back. I think I'll start drinking in the morning in anticipation for this one.

Now that we are on the quest for .500, how about a Rose Bowl tally for old times sake?

Bringing back The Rose Bowl is not very Kool-Aid-Ish. Seriously, all that will do is break out the Negadelphians who believe we should still be tanking our season for a better pick.

OMG WE SHOULD BE TANKING!!!!11!111

Honestly, the more I look at the guys coming out, the more I'm not all that impressed anyways.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to watch this game since I'm going to Florida to see mickey and friends till next thursday, I'm hoping for a couple more Sixers wins before I come back. Have a good couple days everyone.

I'll make sure to drink lots of kool-aid while I'm down there ;)

We're taking em down.

San antonio won't know what to do when they step into the den and look up to...5,000 crazy screaming fans! paralyzed with fear, every shot will be bricked, every play will be broken. We will destroy them. [pitt] We are lions! [/pitt]

this kool-aid is making my head swim...

I'm the last one to want to do anything to mess with this teams Mojo- Its just hard to believe how much ground this team has cover over the last month.

Before this run we were 18-31 and I think 7th in the Rose Bowl. Things have really changed for the better, and I think you'd be hard pressed to find a Sixers fan who is disappointed that they have made this run- especially since it has been made on the strength of our emerging you players (is it too early to say stars?)

Look for the Spurs to end their two game losing streak here. I have a bad feeling for this game. The Spurs are too disciplined to get into a running game with us and their defense will really expose our perimeter shooting weakness. Even with that said... GO SIXERS!!!

You say that the Sixers will win, you're overrating them..

You say the Sixers will lose, you're underrating them..

I say, neither will win. And that makes me intelligent. :D

Not sure here...it will be close, but I think the Spurs pull this one out in the end.

Ha!

Wait..20+? Are you sure you're not snorting a Scarface-esque pile of Kool-Aid as opposed to a single line?

Wow! We're getting dangerously close to the following action when it comes to "Kool-Aid" talk....

I will be very surprised it the Sixers win this one. With the recent losses by the Spurs they should be making their best effort to win this game. And, if the Spurs should lose this game I would consider it a sign that they are not the team they once were.
If you cannot convince others that you are right, you probably aren't.

The Spurs have yet to repeat as champs so would it really be all that big of a shock if they lost 3 in a row this season? Plus, has anyone looked at the age of this Spurs' team? Damn they're old.

I should be around for the first half tonight before running out to kill some brain cells.

While the wife is away, I will play!
