SIXERS NEWS
Fresh off a rare home loss to the Hawks in their last game, the Sixers welcomed the Detroit Pistons to the Wachovia center tonight. Sure the Pistons are already locked into the second seed in the East but they still brought some high energy into this one and made the Sixers earn it and earn it they did. Offensively, four Sixers scored in the double figures(Andre Iguodala, Samuel Dalembert, Willie Green, Louis Williams) with Iggy's 25 leading the way, including 4 clutch three pointers. Defensively, Sammy D led the way again with 13 rebounds and a block as the Sixer's out rebounded Detroit 43-39 and held them to just 43% shooting from the field, while the Sixer's shot over 50% from the field. In the first quarter of play, the Sixers jumped out to a 4 point lead with the score 29-25. In the 2nd quarter of the play, the Sixers simply stood firm and extended their lead to 6 with the score 58-52. The 3rd quarter of play was more of the same as the Sixers pushed their lead out 8, with the score 81-73 heading into the 4th. Finally in the 4th quarter of play the Sixers actually had the lead out to 14 at one point before Detroit cut it down 5 with just under 3 minutes to play. Fortunately, from there the Sixers regrouped and hung on to win by 7, with the final score 101-84. So the Sixers collect their 40th win of the season to improve to 40-38 overall, but remain 6th in the East, still just a game out of 5th.

It seems that everytime the sixers win so do the wizards. Personally id like to be either in 8th to play the Celtics (we've had some good games against them) or the number or the 6th spot with the wizards. Im afraid all the other teams could dominate the Sixers or atleast beet them

yeah it does seem like that doesn't it. The Sixer's did play the Celtics well in their last couple meetings, but I don't like their chances against them in a 7 game series. personally I would prefer the 5th spot so we could play the 4th place Cavs, because they've been struggling a bit lately, and the Sixers seem to be evenly matched with them, as the season series is tied 1-1.
