Playin without Iverson and winning is a huge thing and they might have to get used to it till next year. Hopefully this won't be the deal...but they shouldn't expect of the best. Mckie played a great game and hit 4-5 threes. Tho, the truth is the whole team played great. Sixers shot 56.5 % and shot 50% from the field. Seems as if they played pretty good D to since they were able to hold off the Heat to only 40 % from the field. No Sixer player was in a double-double, but this was a team win. A notable player is Kenny Thomas (who wasn't listed above)... he also played great with the team. He helped out the Sixers with 1 of 3 players in doublt digits. He shot 5-9 with 17 points, 7 rebounds, and shot 7-7 from the free throw line (Sixers shot a total of 85.7% from the line). Great game overall for the Sixers team and Big Dogg's best game since he was back from the injury. Sixers Next Game: Friday, Dec. 19 7:00 pm vs. Cavaliers TV: CSN, NBALP Hopefully Iverson will play and give LeBron James a quick taste of what it takes to be a leader, and what "quick" really is Tho this will be a great test for the Cavs and their new Davisless team. No predictions yet... PS Last lines were NOT aimed for anybody...

Their new acquisitions helped from the beginning during their previous game and seem to fit well for their new team.

Cavs are hungry for wins...but I can't give up on my team. They showed that they can play as a team and if they play this good or better in the Cavs game, they should have the game.
