After their huge win over the Celtics last night, Sixers returned to wachovia center tonight as they looked to continue building momentum against the visiting L.A Clippers. A.I was again held out of tonight's game, but Lou Williams made an early return to the Sixers from the broken jaw that supposed to sideline him for another month, so there appeared to be nothing that could get in the Sixer's way. Unfortunately, just like their co-tenants the Sixers came out flat in this one, falling behind by 13 at the half. Once again, behind 20 and9 rebounds by Andre Iguodala, 19 and 8 rebounds from Thad Young, 12 and 7 assists from Willie Green, 14 from Elton Brand, 28 and 9 from Mo Speights and yes even 6 and 4 assists from Lou, the Sixers rallied back and by the 8 minute mark of the 4th quarter they had tied it up at 84. From there the two teams battled back and forth the rest of the way, until with the game tied at 99, and only seconds left, the Sixers got the last look. As usual they went to Iggy with the game on the line, and this time he kept it himself and drilled a fadeaway for the win! or not. Officials reviewed the shot and waved it off, claiming Iggy did not get it off in time. The Sixers were a bit deflated after that, after quickly falling behind by 6 in overtime they were toast, as the Clips hung on to win 112-107. Considering this marks the 20th loss of the season for the Sixers, this one hurts pretty badly too. I guess two good nights in a row was too much to ask.

Well the Sixers beat arguably the best team in basketball and then they lose to a one of the worst teams in the NBA. Not sure what thats all about but I'm still pumped about the win over the Celtics.

actually the Clips aren't that bad. they're only a couple games under .500 and they have Baron Davis
