<font size="4">@</font> <font color="Purple">Los Angeles Lakers</font> @ <font color="Red">Philadelphia 76ers</font> When: Thursday, February 5 Where: Wachovia Center, Philadelphia Time: 7:30pm TV: TNT Records: Sixers: 20-29 Lakers: 29-17 Previous Games: Philadelphia 76ers - February 3, Loss 93-80 vs Toronto - February 1, Loss 106-101 @ Minnesota - January 30, Win 85-82 vs New Orleans Last 5: 1-4 Los Angeles Lakers: - February 4, Win 111-106 (OT) @ Cleveland - February 2, Loss 85-72 @ Indiana - February 1, Win 84-83 @ Toronto Last 5: 3-2 Probable Starters Shaq O'Neal vs. Sammy Dalembert Slava Medvedenko vs Glenn Robinson Rick Fox vs Kenny Thomas Derek Fisher vs Allen Iverson Gary Payton vs Eric Snow I'm going to this game tonight. Let's all hope that the Sixers will use their retro uniforms for good luck. And take advantage of the short handed Lakers. The Lakers got to Philadelphia early this morning most likely after an OT win in Cleveland. Maybe that'll slow them down a bit. Tonight's uniforms:
I'll say that we will win,the Sixers have always been motivated when wearing retro jerseys and I can't see them losing today,if Thomas and Robinson can overplay their opponents then we'll get this one.

Sammy Dalembert is no match for Shaq, and he's coming off two nights of 30 plus points. I also like Gary Payton's aggressiveness on the offensive end, and I look for him to do big things tonight. If Gary can do what he did to LeBron last night to Iverson, it'll be a long night for Philly.
Well it can motivate AI,he said it himself last year I say GP can't do what he did yesterday and Shaq will dominate but it ain't enough.
great performance by the sixers tonight. I can't stand the lakers and they snuck by last night over my cavs.. but atleast we took them to OT and got them nice and tired for u. A.I. and the sixers are really picking up steam.
Very well executed performance by the Sixers last night, both offensively and defensively. We really pulled together as a team, and got that much important W. I think that's where our glitch is at, teamwork, and injuries. We have guys coming back now, and things are starting to look up, so all we have to do is pull together as a team, and at least make the playoffs. The absence of Payton (due to ejection) in that game, is what got us fired up. The Sixers saw that the Lakers would now only have Shaq and they concentrated on him, they executed the Hack-A-Shaq rather well, and also did a good job offensively. Allen was the man in the game, this was by far one of his better performances over the past two years. He came out and responded to his own criticism, as did the team also. Let's hope we can continue this type of play, and try and get this thing turned around.
I was there and the place went absolutely insane when Payton got booted. Alot of people didn't know what was going on. It was so funny. There was just a wave of sound going around the arena. And Shaq and his free throws.. LMAO.
lol..I think the lakers could've taken the W if payton didn't get ejected...cuz if they concentrated on shaq..Pay would've kill em..but they practicly had a rookie as a pg lol..anyways , retro jerseys can inspire you..if you dont beleive me ask Orlando they are like 4-1 with the Retro jerseys lol...
