SIXERS NEWS

Sixers 93 Heat 85
It Was Over When....
The second half started. The Sixers trailed by 15 at the half, but outscored Miami 59-36, in the second half, as the veteran Heat simply ran out of gas against the young Sixers.
The Game Ball Goes To....
Andre Iguodala with 19 points, 6 assists, and 8 rebounds, Joe Smith with 12 points and 13 rebounds off the bench, and Kyle Korver with 17 points off the bench.
The Stat Of The Game Is....
6, as in only 6 three pointers made by the Heat on the night out of a whopping 27 attempts. Normally, Miami is one of the better 3 point shooting teams in the league, but tonight they just weren't falling, yet they just kept throwing them up and the Sixers took advantage of all the misses to come from behind and win.
The Bottom Line Is....
After suffering two embarrassing losses, the Sixers have responded with consecutive impressive wins, and don't look now but with 12 games left in the season, the Sixers are suddenly back within 4 games of the final playoff spot in the East.

FLYERS NEWS

Islanders 4 Flyers 3
It Was Over When....
Andy Hilbert scored with 5 minutes remaining in the 4th period to put New York up for good 4-3.
The Game Puck Goes To....
Victor Kozlov with 2 assists and Andy Hilbert with the game winning goal.
The Stat Of The Game Is....
34, as in 34 shots on goal for the Islanders on the night, to just 21 shots on goal for the Flyers on the night. Once again all New York had to do to win was outshoot the Flyers
The Bottom Line Is....
Well, if nothing else they were in it until the very end.

PHILLIES NEWS

The Phils lost again today, this time 7-0 to the Reds. As expected Freddy Garcia was diagnosed today with nothing more than a mild case of tendinitis in his biceps, however, Jon Lieber was not so lucky as he went down yesterday with an abdominal strain and will be out indefinitely. Of ocurse, Lieber is in the bullpen now, so losing him is't really that significant, other than the fact that it reduces the likelihood that he will be traded.

SIXERS NEWS

Sixers 106 Bobcats 97
It Was Over When....
The 1st half ended. The Sixers coasted to a 21 point lead at the half and it just held up for the rest of the night.
The Game Ball Goes To....
The combined seven Sixers' players who scored in double figures on the night: Andre Miller with 19, Willie Green with 18, Kyle Korver with 13, Steven Hunter with 12, Rodney Carney and Joe Smith with 11 a piece, and Samule Dalembert with 10.
The Stat Of The Game Is....
55.1 as in a field goal shooting percentage of 55.1 for the Sixers on the night to just a field goal shooting percentage of 44.3 for the Bobcats on the night. In their last 2 games, it was the Sixer's opponents who shot 50% from the field and got the wins, but tonight, it was the Sixers who shot 50% from the field and look what happened, they won.
The Bottom Line Is....
This was a nice win for the Sixers, especially since they were playing without the injured Andre Iguodala(lower back strain, not serious), so here's to some more Sixer's games like this before the end of the season.

FLYERS NEWS

Rangers 5 Flyers 0
It Was Over When....
The Rangers went two for two on the power play in the 2nd period, to jump out to an insurmountable 3-0 lead.
The Game Puck Goes To....
Sean Avery with 2 goals, Brendan Shanahan with 2 assists, Daniel Girardi with 2 assists, and Ranger goalie Henrick Lundqvist who stopped all 17 shots he faced on the night.
The Stat Of The Game Is....
17, as in only 17 shots on goal for the Flyers on the night. Generally, when you have so few shots on goal you're not going to win.
The Bottom Line Is....
I don't know what it is, but for some reason Antero Niitymaki just doesn't seem like himself lately. I mean I really can't remember the last time he allowed 5 goals in a game. That said, here's hoping Niitymaki figures it out sooner, rather than later.

EAGLES NEWS

The Eagles made their first important off-season move on the defensive side of the ball today, signing defensive tackle Monte Reagor to a 3 year 8.25 million deal. Reagor spent the last 4 years with the Colts and recorded 10.5 sacks during the 2004-2005 seaosn, so he could turn out to be another shrewd signing by the Eagles front office.

PHILLIES NEWS

Well, the speculation is over, the Phils officially moved Jon Lieber to the bullpen today, which means that Adam Eaton will be the Phils 5th starter this season. However, this does not mean that Phils are going to keep Lieber, he could easily still be traded, if Pat Gillick can just find the right deal, so stay tuned.

SIXERS NEWS

Pistons 96 Sixers 75
It Was Over When....
The 4th quarter began. It Was close for three quarters as the Sixers only trailed by 10 going into the 4th. However, the Pistons scored 14 consecutive points to open the quarter and needless to say that was about all she wrote.
The Game Ball Goes To....
Ronald Murray with 12 points and 7 assists, Tayshaun Prince with a game high 30 points and 6 rebounds, and Chris Webber with 9 points and 7 rebounds.
The Stat Of The Game Is....
50.6, as in a field goal shooting percentage of 50.6 for the Pistons on the night. This is the second game in a row in which the Sixer's opponents have shot 50% or better from the field, and not surprisingly they lost both games.
The Bottom Line Is....
Well, at least this time they didn't lose by 50.

FLYERS NEWS

Panthers 4 Flyers 1
It Was Over When....
Florida's Nathan Horton scored early in the 3rd period to give the Panthers the lead for good at 3-1.
The Game Puck Goes To....
Panther's goalie Ed Belfour with 24 saves out of 25 shots on the night. Not that there weren't any other contributors on the night, but let's just say without Belfour between the pipes the Flyers might of had a shot to win this thing.
The Stat Of The Game Is....
34, as in 34 shots on goal on the night for the Panthers, to just 25 shots on goal for the Flyers on the night. It's like I've said before sometimes simply outshooting your opponent is enough to win.
The Bottom Line Is....
Well, I guess even Marty Biron has a bad night every once in a while. of course with this team having a bad night isn't that hard.

PHILLIES NEWS

The Phils lost another forgettable spring training game to the Yankees 2-0, but once again no one got injured, so no worries.

SIXERS NEWS

Rockets 124 Sixers 74
It Was Over When....
It started. The Sixers quickly fell behind 32-15 after the 1st quarter and were never really in it.
The Game Ball Goes To....
Tracy Mcgrady with 21 points and 8 assists, Chuck Hayes with 12 points and 13 rebounds, Yao Ming with 24 points and 10 rebounds, and Juwan Howard with 11 points and 10 rebounds off the bench.
The Stat Of The Game Is....
53.3, as in a field goal shooting percentage of 53.3 on the night for the Rockets to just a field goal shooting percentage of 33.8 for the Sixers on the night. Usually, when you let a team shoot lights out against you, you are not going to win.
The Bottom Line Is....
The kind of effort the Sixers put forth tonight just won't get it done the rest of the season.

PHILLIES NEWS

The Phils continued spring training today with another day of 2 games, one with their regular starters and one without any of their regulars. In the first game with their regular they lost 5-4 to the Devil Rays, despite a two-run homer by Pat Burrell, and 6 strong innings out of Brett Myers. In the second game without any regulars they lost again this time 4-3 to the Twins. Still, the losses notwithstanding, the phils once again escaped injury free, and that at least in some good news.
