TEAMS: Bucks (18-28) vs. Philadelphia 76ers (17-28).

WHEN: 6 tonight.

WHERE: Wachovia Center, Philadelphia.

BROADCASTS: TV - FSN Wisconsin cable. Radio - AM-620.

ABOUT THE 76ers: This is the final game in a long month for the 76ers, who have won only three of 14 games in January. The 76ers lost their first seven games in the month but are coming off a victory Saturday in Charlotte that broke a three-game losing streak. The 76ers have lost six of their last eight at home.

ANDRE IGUODALA, 76ers

He scored 33 points, high for a Philadelphia player this season, in the victory over Charlotte. That, along with the 30 points that Iguodala scored against Utah on Jan. 2, are the only two 30-point games by a 76er this season. He has scored 20 or more points in four of the last five games and for the season he is averaging 19.4 points, 5.6 rebounds and 4.6 assists.

I left work very late today, and turned on the Bucks, and they promptly had 3 turnovers.

It's not going to be a good game.

The Bucks need a trade, and a coaching change.

[Yao Mania]

At this point, I think Bucks should tank the season, dump their guards san Redd, and pray that they land Derrick Rose.

Fell asleep down 15, woke up down 40, what the hell.

PLAYER OF THE GAME: Forward Andre Iguodala scored 18 points to lead seven Philadelphia players who scored in double figures. Iguodala also pitched in six rebounds, five assists, two steals and two blocks. "We tried to push the tempo," he said. "We got the chance to get a good look before they set up. We were able to get them out of whack and get them out of their zone. The weaknesses in the zone are the gaps and the offensive rebounds."

PLAY OF THE GAME: The latest Yi Jianlian poster should be available any day now after the vicious one-handed, fast-break dunk that Iguodala threw down on the Bucks rookie that give Philadelphia a 55-36 lead early in the third quarter.

STATISTICS SHEET: The 76ers' 112 points were their second-highest scoring output of the season. Their season high? You guessed it. That came in a 114-99 victory over the Bucks on Nov. 27 at the Bradley Center.

OFF THE BENCH: Philadelphia coach Maurice Cheeks liked the energy brought off the bench by Reggie Evans, who had 13 points and nine rebounds. "As soon as we put him in the game, he got an offensive rebound and a steal," said Cheeks. "That's the way Reggie plays."

Philadelphia - One word hovered like a dark cloud inside the rapidly emptying visitors locker room in the Wachovia Center on Wednesday night, after the Milwaukee Bucks equaled a season-low point total in a 112-69 pummeling at the hands of the Philadelphia 76ers.

Embarrassing.
Well, if the shoe fits. . . .

"I'm embarrassed," said point guard Royal Ivey. "Honestly, I'm embarrassed. I can't speak for everybody but I know how I feel. I don't even want to show my face because you look at the score and you lose by 40 and they're not 40 points better than us. But they beat us down tonight."

The Bucks were dominated in every sense of the word in matching the point total they set in the New Year's Eve massacre in Detroit, when they fell to the Pistons, 114-69. Wednesday's game was the Bucks' second-widest losing margin of the season, surpassed only by the debacle in Detroit.

It was Philadelphia's largest margin of victory in the building, which opened in 1996-'97, and it was its largest margin of victory since Dec. 8, 1982, when the 76ers defeated Atlanta by 47 at the Spectrum.

In Wednesday's game, the Bucks were behind by 19 at halftime, by 30 after three quarters and then by as many as 47 in the fourth quarter when both coaches cleared their benches and the 76ers frolicked through a dunk-a-thon at the Bucks' expense.

Embarrassing?

"We were just talking about that," said center Jake Voskuhl, still seated next to Michael Ruffin in front of their dressing stalls after most of their teammates had departed. "It's embarrassing. It's frustrating. Everyone hates to have games like this. It's difficult for everybody. The players, the coaches. . . because we know we're a better team than this. We know that."

Completely dominated, Bucks nearly match season's worst loss
