    Sixers must have forgotten we almost beat them back at home just a short while ago playing them down to the wire. My question is if their not using excuses, then why are they pointing out excuses then saying were not using excuses though? Duh....you just did, morons! Give an excuse only to recant an excuse? What up wit dat? Why say anything at all? The Sixers had the previous day off and they played a home game against Denver the night before that which they won quite easily. For them to even throw out fatigue as a factor is ridiculous. The truth is Philly got spanked and is in denial. They can take their 6 games in 9 days crap and stuff it.

    How about say you got your butts kicked by Dream and the Rockets? I didn't hear that from any of the Sixers. I think the way the Rockets were on their game last night that even if Philly did show up they would have been beaten...maybe not by 25 or whatever but beaten nonetheless. I believe we match up pretty well with that team.

    For them to take on that sorry attitude while seemingly not giving us any credit for our hot shooting and stifling Dream-fueled defense is a travesty. We all know when the Rockets are on their game and, last night, they were. When their off, then they usually blow it or come up short.

    Maybe the Sixers can use the fatigue excuse and take it back when they bow out of the playoffs early. Then, they can throw that excuse out there and then recant it in their postgame comments. Freaking ridiculous!

    We whooped some Sixer ass last night. That is all I have to say. Any fatigue factor is made up hogwash in my opinion. They just couldn't admit to the truth...that the best record holders in the league got spanked by a supposedly inferior team. They were fatigued from being home for 3 days and sleeping in their own beds. If we go by their line of thinking, then all the teams should be fatigued right about now and they should all play as bad just before the All-Star break.

    That crap just kind of rubbed me the wrong way. At least give credit where credit is due. They insinuated that on any other night we were sitting ducks. I disagree wholeheartedly because when we are on, we can beat anybody.
