I think it'd get a decent amount of feedback. That’d be great, Dannie. I think it’d get a decent amount of feedback.

And he wants it the same way.” The Sixers are 16-10 under DiLeo after a 9-14 start and have gone 10-4 at the Wachovia Center heading into tonight's game against the Suns. The question I asked on my phillyburbs blog was: What would DiLeo have to do to stay on for a full season as coach? Does he have to win a playoff round or would a certain record (maybe 35-24?) be enough?

Well its Jeff Ruland, and I’d say he owes the team something…

Last year an air ball per game was the norm. It probably will not continue but whoever helped Evans out with his free throw shooting is in line for an award.

We seem to be getting tougher with Royel and Reggie getting increased minutes and it will be interesting to see how our coach proceeds as the playoffs get closer, we have all talked about a defensive personality, because of not having a star, well that may help us in a 7 game series and a healthy Elton next year should improve on that. If a move is made at the deadline I hope it is a player that can score, but also defend like hell. Dannie, that 2nd half was played like a playoff game, slow pace and toughness on defense.

Starters Iguodala and Young each played six minutes and Miller the final three. Ivey (10) and Speights (nine) accounted for 19 of the 31 points in the period, with Ivey limiting Wade to 1 point and 0-for-4 shooting. Miami coach Erik Spoelstra raved about the high-energy Evans (nine rebounds, five points), saying, "It seemed like he was everywhere on the court tonight. We didn’t have an answer for him. He probably impacted the game as much as anybody." The bench played 45 of the 60 fourth-quarter minutes, with Speights, Ivey and Evans each going the full 12 minutes and Williams getting nine.

Much needed effort from them tonight. Royal in Wades pants. Lou Will actually distributing down the stretch. Reggie being Reggie again against a quality team. Crazy Speights coming through big time. Good finish after stumbling in the 1/2 court offense in the 2nd & 3rd qtrs. Nice to see that the bench took their poor effort last game seriously. Much needed effort from them tonight.
