Well said Dannie. It’s tough either way with Rondo or Rose. What a great series it has been though between those two teams.

Guest – My girlfriend just asked me the same question. I said Celtics. I think with all the injuries it’s questionable which team is better right now. But I want 76ers-Celtics rivalry to start being reborn. It’s best for the game in my opinion and maybe we can pull some of those old fans back into Sixers mix.

Guys, who should we be pulling for in this double overtime thriller between the Bulls and Celtics. That is who we play if we manage to get past the Magic. It’s a tough match-up either way.

Win tonight and the Sixers win the series; lose tonight and it’s going to be tough.

I am going to the game today and will be wearing my Iggy jersey for the first time, I hope I don!t jinx him but I actually feel proud to wear it now, whatever that means.

Dannie to answer your question from the other day, while some might not view Thad as a future superstar to me it is obvious that he will be a future superstar. So in theory I am defending a superstar.
“Sam stinks but he is better for us than Theo at his current age” Dannie dare I ask you again the Sam question again?

lol, lets win this game!

Andre Miller hit the nail on the head when he was said in response to the question, “What switch can the Magic flip?” like the Pistons flipped a switch after game 3 last year. Miller said said, “three-point shooting.” Yes. If only Miller himself could do something about that. But he’s right. The Sixers have stepped up the defensive intensity in both wins and the uneasiest feelings during game 3 came in late 3rd quarter, early 4th, when the Magic suddenly were getting open for 3-point attempts. Philly needs to maintain its toughness in the middle but allow no open 3′s, at all. No failed switches, like the ugly one Lou had in the second half. No relaxed defense. Dannie is right: the Sixers must stay inside of the bubble on every defensive encounter, and all things being as they have, Philly should win game 4.

Would love to see Thad parlay his game-winner into a very productive and creative offensive day. Go Sixers!!

Dannie: agree with everything you said. as well as sixers have played, magic not showing up at all is just as much a reason for 3-1 lead.

Howard (the MVP of this series so far) calling out his team? … again I dont think you can just turn it on like that.

was it Rob that mentioned that the Magic bench is weak; that is really killing them this series. ours may not put up that many points but Anthony Johnson aside, they dont get anything from ‘em.

tomorrow could be it, all the games this series have been close. Lets put our faith in the Andres to come through in crunch time.

Thad is due for a breakout game. Think someone whacked him on his head yesterday. he wasnt right, couldnt even catch the ball and hold on to it.

Theo is used to his 4 [T.Hill] having his back and Elton should be there for Sam, Jason, and hopefully Theo next year. In a year or two Marreese may actually learn that part of the game.
