Willie Green, Kyle Korver, Greg Buckner, Kenny Thomas, and Zendon Hamilton on the floor for the 6ers... Talk about a nasty lineup. Up 12 with a little under 7 minutes to go in the half.

I would hope that he does play tonight. I don't see any problem with him playing in a situation like this. Although we lost to Philly earlier in the year without AI, we played horribly that night, tonight that doesn't seem to be the case.
As for him playing some this year, I don't know, but if I had to guess I would say he is probaly done for the year. I think LB is going to use the last quarter of the season to find a steady rotation and learn which lineups gives us the best chance to win.

We were up 18 when I started that last post and by the time I got down we were only up 8... Pretty sad.

When I came home and turned the game on they were up by 18. Philly then went on a 10-0 run. Maybe I should go away.

thank you, at least someone there can give a straight answer. dont be surprised to see him moved over the summer, this was a marriage headed for disaster from the beginning. might as well get something for him.

I very seriously doubt we trade Darko. He's part of our core 6, along with Chauncey, Rip, Ben, Memo, and Tayshaun. Unless of course someone throws KG or Duncan at us. And that isn't going to happen.

53-40... Timeout 6ers. The two Wallaces block everything down low.

The offense was ugly as hell, but I think that was the best defense we've played all year.
Sure Philly can't shoot, but they couldn't get any open shots. Ben and Sheed are a pretty unbelievable low post duo.

Yup, and Tay added another block on the fastbreak to his collection. He may be the best in the entire NBA at that.

Not a great game by the Pistons...too many turnovers and offensive rebounds for Philly, and Rasheed was disappointing on offense. But I guess you've got to take any win you can get the way they have been playing lately.
