    Does anyone know if the Sixers will once again play without Kenny Thomas, Derrick Coleman and Glenn Robinson?

    The game-preview on NBA.com does not give any informations about the status of Thomas, Robinson and Coleman.

    Looking forward to this game, and the early start.
    Gives me an excuse to cut out early.
    I'll listen to 610AM for the pre-show on the way home.
    Pick up some grub on the way, and proceed to watch the game in style.

    Just hope Steve doesnt try to show up AI.
    I also hope Yao gets his shot back.
    He should have had 30 the past two games.

    HURRY UP AND GET PIATKOWSKI BACK ALREADY!!!

    i like being optimistic, but a fresh AI and a tired francis and mobes does not seem good for us.

    No way we lose this game. We always beat Phili. I look for Iverson to shoot 10-40 tonight...

    Rockets 80
    Sixers 70

    I wonder...

    Can we keep a sticky throughout the season and post winners of those who correctly predicted the score?

    Maybe at the end of the season we can pitch-in and buy a Merlin hat...or something for the overall soothsayer.

    Just wondering.

    If you guys think Yao was tired yesterday, forget about it. I would find it slightly surprising if he doesn't need hospitalization during tonight's game for exhaustion. Seriously.

    That said, we ought to be able to win with iso ball and our bench. 76ers aren't that good.

    Rockets win 95-80. Yao, 4 pts, 2 reb, 15 minutes.

    Good game!


    ROX - 100

    Sixers - 92


    The ROX reach the century mark and the Philly fans go home with free Philly Cheesesteaks. :D

    I won't predict the score cuz I'll be too depressed after I do. What I propose is a lineup change. I say Start Cato at the 5 and MoT. Then us Yao, Braggs and Boki/JJ off the bench. The reasons for this are:

    1. Yao play too many mins last night so he's tired, he'll be more effective against scrubs.

    2. Separate team 1 of SF Cat MoT (aka, ballhogs) from team 2. This way team 1 can do their thing and team 2 can practise the inside out game that way they don't miss a beat when team 1 gets traded.

    3. I see MUCH better entry passes from JJ and Boki than Cat and Steve so quite frankly I want to see Yao in the game when SF and Cat are on the bench resting.

    4. Save JVG some hair.

    Philly's whole front line is out.

    Rox win 107 - 89

    Rox regain shooting touch and Iverson does his usual 6/25 performance.

    Yao should have a big game. 26/9/4

    Steve - 18, 6, 6

    Cuttino - 20/ 5asst

    This is going to be a loss...the team will be too tired after playing a double OT game the night before...

    If the Rockets do pull this one out, it will make my day though...

    I live in Philly and I'm going to the game. Does anyone here, besides me, live in the Philadelphia area and plans to attend also.

    If DC gets his jumpers fall, we are in big trouble. Yao's not fast enough to come out to challenge his outside shots....

    The game is winnable. But two factors are against the Rox:

    (1) Yao, Stevie, and Mobley all played more than 50 minutes last night.

    (2) Iverson.

    Predictions:

    Yao is going to have a blocked shots pary along with his first triple-double.

    Franchise will take more shots than Iverson.

    Rockets lose. 80: 97



















    My Prediction never works.
