76ers are hurting literally with the recent loss of Lou Williams who had begun playing light's out for them. They have loss six in a row and the Hawks looking for a rebound after playing awful in the 2nd half of last night's "Showdown" game on National TV. Game should be close, i think the Hawks win by around 5, 98-93 or something like that.

Joe takes it up the court, Dribbles around before getting it knocked away, and then with 5 on the clock throws up garbage in traffic, and gets his third foul. How long is woody gonna allow this to happen?

Josh Smith is a beast. Im still loling at all the fans on this board that wanted to ship him off for Chandler or Kaman.

I only saw the 4th. What happened to Joe? Conscience or fatigue?

Philly was undermanned but I will gladly take a road win off a back to back. They moved the ball well tonight. I was almost relieved when Joe got into foul trouble though-the offense is unwatchable when he's dominating the ball and his shot is off. Smith had a pretty good game considering he got no calls in the 1st half. On to the next one.

Joe looked Terrible tonight, he was forcing **** all over the place. We could never have a game like that from him and especially on the road and not get beat handily before this year. Crawford & Bibby were on their game tonight and Josh & Horf played well, that was the game. Looks like no one gave a damn, we didn't even hit 10 replies yet and the game is over. I'm ashamed, we rival New Orleans board in patheticness.

Nice win though.

I wish Woodson would grow a pair and come out publicly and say that Joe will be sitting on the bench until he decides he wants to be a team player.

As long as Joe is playing like that he will hinder the growth. If he played team basketall I cant even fathom the possibilities. I hope Joe can wake up like Josh did this season.

In the late 3rd quarter after a Joe forced several while ignoring his teammates and had another turnover on a lazy cross court pass Woodson finally pulled him for Marvin. That was the closest to taking a stand as I think we'll see from Woodson. Of course Joe went back into the lineup in the 4th, so it wasn't much of a message.

Joe had a horrible night including shot selection, decisions with the ball, and even execution on passes and the rest of the team picked up the slack for the win. Shows how much better the lineup is this year and probably a little bit about the state of the Sixers right now.
