Like how bad a shooting team we are but right now we cant miss. Talking about calls in his press conference, than making comments about Dileo talking about Howard in the lane.

Iguodala reverted to his old self; passive to start the game and bitching to the refs. still continues to make plays though. unsung hero: Willie Green. his perimeter defense is still wanting though. we need to limit our switching on pick and roll defense. Lewis on Wille Green? Lewis on Miller? Pietrus on Lou Williams? I say put Iguodala on Lewis and Thad on Turk. so far the latter hasnt done much damage and right now it is Lewis thats killing us. some word squabble at Post game conference. good call by DiLeo. zebras will have it in  the back of their minds. dunno how accurate that was, all the damage he did cannot be put on the 3second rule not being enforced.

The Sixers MUST MUST get Game 6 for that to be possible.  If Howard is suspended, perhaps that would help get Thaddeus Young back on track and post up more.  Like for most of the series, they MUST play through the calls and not give up!!  The irony is if Stan Van Gundy does go through another Game 7, it would be as a result of a key player of theirs missing in action.  With Miami in 2005, Wade missed Game 6 due to a bruised rib he suffered in Game5 when he suffered a collision with Rasheed Wallace while taking the charge.  I know this song is corny, but it really puts the emphasis! <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNB1EUJg1-w" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNB1EUJg1-w</a> GO SIXERS!!

Guys were bouncing off of him. Even Sammy couldnt contain him sometimes. Sad to say but our season rests on Sammy. where he goes, we go. why is lewis killing Young? it doesnt seem that much of a mismatch. Thad seems to have a problem with quicker players. Big ups to Andre Miller. Pure heart and grit. laid it out. Statistically pretty game for Iguodala, thats all that was pretty bout his game. Magic have honed in on him. Take out those Howard offensive rebounds and the Sixers play tie it up or win this game. Played hard enough to win. Howard just killed us. Took it to another level beast-wise. No answer for him. never gave us a chance. Not to sound doom n gloom but him waking up might be the stake through our hearts. Play hard Sixers. Very unlucky game. wow for all the talk about Turk and lewis showing up, its Howard showing up that killed us. 20/20 game typical regular season stat. he shows up like that in Game 6 and we are  done for.

We cant win with a score less than 90. They need to find new ways to get Iggy the ball they are doubling him off the pick and roll. Also he had some bad turnovers in the 3rd quarter due to jump passing. We need at least two 20 point scorers and 20 off the bench to have a chance to win these games.  Our D has not been bad hustling and generally good. With that sd we are def switching too much Andre Miller and Wille Green end up guarding Lewis on the block wayy too much Lewis has woken up which is bad news. His three is dropping now prob cause he's getting easy looks on the block as well.  Team has played better than last year no matter what happens; last year we lost game 4 by double digits, and games 5,6, were over at halftime. This year just lost game 4 on last sec shot and tonight was closer than the final score shows. I think this shows some growth in a young team. I want to force a game 7 and hopefully the Magic crack under the pressure.  By the way Andre Miller is the man he is a tough sonofabitch.  Offense needs new wrinkles.
