Here are previous matchups: November 22 @ NY : 99-88 (Sixers lose) March 3 @ NY : 88 -77 (Sixers lose) March 12 @ PHI : 99-94 Overtime (Sixers win) X-FACTOR Willie Green has been the Sixers secret weapon over the past few games. Let's hope that Willie is feeling better and can give it a go tonight. We'll need his scoring if we want a win. I think the Sixers will take this one by 5. The Knicks played last night and hopefully will be a little tired.
YAY! Finally a game thread! :thumbsup: Salmons has been shooting(finally) and scoring over 10 points last few games,Willie is coming up big time,Kenny should have a big game like last time,I expect atleast 3 blocks from Dalembert. Aaron isn't gonna score over 12(I predict he's gonna give us around 6-9 points) but he and Snow have to put pressure on Marbury.If we want to win we have to shut down Marbury or we won't win.Sixers by 7
Dalembert's 9 blocks were amazing,we are lucky that Cavs also lost.Sixers are trailing Boston by 3 games(we have 5 remaining).

We'll need 5 to even think about playoffs. That means Boston will have to lose almost all their remaining games
I just checked Boston's schedule: Washington-W Miami-L New Orleans-L Atlanta-W Miami-L Atlanta-L First 4 of them are away games.(Hopefully my prediction's are true) Sixers: Atlanta-W Washington-W New Jersey-W Indiana-L Orlando-W and if Cleveland would lose some games and fall behind Philly we would be in.
