After an embarrassing loss to the Nets in their last game the Sixers traveled to Charlotte tonight for a matchup with the desperate Bobcats, who are still trying to find their into the playoffs. For a while it looked like be another dissapointing night, as the Bobcats built up a 14 point lead at the half with the score 63-49. Thanks to the Andres, as Iguodala posted 19, and Miller dropped 23, the Sixers were able to rally back ahead by heading into the 4th quarter with the score 81-79. Then unexpectedly they just went away in the 4th quarter and Charlotte was able to steal back the win they desperately needed to stay alive in the playoff picture, by 3 with the final score 101-98. So the Sixers drop to 40-37 overall, but fortunately since the Heat lost tonight as well, the Sixers remain 6th in the Eastern conference, just a half a game behind the Heat for 5th. They won't keep getting this lucky and probably will have to win 3 or 4 of their last 5 to wrestle that 5th spot away from the Heat.

I can only hope that they do win those 3 or so games and get that 5th spot. Otherwise its gonna be a short playoff.
