How do you guys think the Sixers will perform before AI comes back. I'm not gonna put a time table out there on how long he will be out, just predict how well you think the Sixers will perform. Over .500? .500 exactly? Under .500? What do you think their record will be once hes back? .500? Over .500? Under .500? Here is the upcoming schedule for the Sixers in the month of December: <ul> [*]@Boston [*]Orlando [*]@LA Clippers [*]@Phoenix [*]@Utah [*]@Houston [/list] Thats a lot of road games comin up, only 1 game as a matter of fact. I think the Sixers can go .500...not much more. MAYBE a little under but I'm confident that they can stay around.500 by the time AI comes back. Hopefully AI can play around 3 games in the month of December... cuz the Holiday's without AI playin...
Here is what I am predicting. Boston- L Orlando- W LAC- W Phoenix- ? Utah- W Houston- L Notice the ? mark for Phoenix. I have not seen their gameplay this year and Philadelphia has had problems with them in the past. Amare is even better this year. Hopefully that game will go to the Sixers.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting The Answer:</div><div class="quote_post">Amare is even better this year</div> Amare is better but he's injured and won't be a problem for the Sixers now. @Boston-L Orlando-W @LA Clippers-L @Phoenix-W @Utah-W @Houston-L
I think Boston-W 95 to 89 Orlando W 105 to 98 LA Clipplers L 92 to 94 Phoenix l 89 to 100 Utah- This game depends on if A.K. is still as hot as fire but I think Philly by 3 Houston- L 85 to 95
They could take 3/4 of those games. With Iverson out, that means team ball will be reinforced. The bench players must step up and produce for the 76ers. While AI is out, another player will have to step up and score for Philly, or it could get ugly.
Ugly was last night. Glenn contributed with 19 but still the expected scorer didnt dominate Cleveland. This was Aaron McKie. Sixes now are 3-2 without Allen this year. 4 of 5 of those games McKie played great and filled AI's spot. Glenn did great 2 games without Allen. 18 and 19 pts.
I dont see why you think they will lose to Orlando. Im not just saying that because Orlando has had a bad season so far, but being a Philly fan I know 76ers usually do great against Orlando. Not trying to change your opinion or anything.
It is very possible that the Sixers will lose all those games mentioned.Very tough set of games without AI.If any though you have the best chance against Magic and Suns.However the Magic are playing very good basketball so a win there will be very tough.

Without AI and the way that the Magic are playing right now, don't consider the Magic game a sure win.
@Boston-W Orlando-W @LA Clippers-W @Phoenix-L @Utah-W @Houston-L You people tend to forget how good we were the 02 season we lost AI for the rest 2 games out of the playoffs and still got a 6 seed thats pretty damn good to me. I think we can do good without him.

I also look for this to be a great game.
Hmm just to add on the side, Sixers continue to lead the Celtics in the 3rd quarter. I know the game can change, but suprises me to be short-handed on the road against a team just as good as Philadelphia.
