Johnson is one of the deadliest shooters you can find in the game, and once he gets in rhythm, you better beware. <font color=""DarkRed"">Play with Heart</font>: This is something the Sixers have yet to display at all this season. They must play with heart if they want to win this game. The Hawks are one of the surprises of the NBA this season, and they aren't a team you should take lightly. <font color=""darkred"">Share the Ball</font>: If AI isn't playing, i would like to see more ball movement between players. I want to see everyone get involved, not just Webber. I hope that Andre Iguodala will get more touches and i hope he shows us all why he was the Rookie / Sophomore Challenge MVP.</font> <div align="center">Mystery Man PG: Allen Iverson AI has been bothered with a right ankle sprain, and is questionable for the game.

Sixers Win!!!! Its the Apocalypse!!!! <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Allen Iverson scored 29 points in his return to the lineup, Kyle Korver had 23 and Chris Webber 21 to lead the Philadelphia 76ers over the Atlanta Hawks 115-106 on Wednesday night, snapping a four-game losing streak. Iverson, the NBA's second-leading scorer with an average of 33.2 points, missed the last four games after he bruised and sprained his foot against Memphis on March 12. The Sixers lost all four games without him and have a tenuous hold on the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. Andre Iguodala had 17 points for the Sixers, who shot 51 percent from the floor. The Sixers made 10 of 15 3-pointers. Josh Childress had 17 points and 12 rebounds, Josh Smith had 22 points and Marvin Williams 21 for the Hawks. With Iverson back in action, the Sixers put this one away early -- a rarity for a team that has had frequent fourth-quarter collapses. He looked sharp and never seemed bothered by the foot, missing only one shot and scoring 11 points in the second quarter to help Philadelphia to a 67-48 halftime lead. It was the most points scored in a half by the Sixers this season. Philadelphia sure was glad to see Iverson in the lineup. The Sixers are only 2-6 this season without the former MVP. Playing the woeful Hawks also helped the fading Sixers. With Iverson scoring most of his points from the foul line in the third quarter, Korver took over. He sank two 3s and finished with 10 points in the quarter. He went 6-for-7 from 3-point range and made his first seven shots overall before missing a layup early in the fourth. Korver came right back to hit another 3, giving the Sixers a 99-76 lead. The Hawks left their starters in most of the rest of the game, which kept the score from looking like a total blowout. </div> link: http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/recap;_ylt=AsH...?gid=2006032220 boxscore: http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/boxscore?gid=2006032220 iggy with 17 points and 12 boards!
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Psycho Drama:</div><div class="quote_post">Yeah boy. But then again it was the Hawks.</div> i understand. but i feels good to finally get a win. a win is a win no matter how you look at it
Hawks aren't that bad team,they just have few problems on their team (Too many young people is one of them) They have beat San Antonio and Detroit so they are definatley a better team than the Bobcats or the Knicks.
