Instead, lets focus on Keith Bogans and veteran Glenn Robinson for the "key matchup". Tracy and Iverson will score points no matter what happens, whereas these two will have to back up their star players, and ultimately could have a big say in the outcome of tonight's game. <font size="1"><font color="Gray">By sportsrock37 and jump</font></font> Key Factor <u>Bench Production</u> Two rising stars will be at the game tonight. Zaza Pachulia and Kyle Korver. Zaza brings tons of hustle to his team, while Kyle is deadly from beond the arc. They wont score as many points as some of the other players, but each gives their team something unique. <font size="1"><font color="Gray">By jump and sportsrock37</font></font> <font size="1">ESPN</font> Jump's Prediction With the Magic not exactly playing their best ball this season, and with the Sixers having the home court advantage, I say that the Sixers win: Sixers by 6. <div align="center"><font face="Times New Roman"><font size="1"><font color="Gray">Please vist NBA.com,ESPN CBS Sportsline Fox Sports.</font></font></font></div>
Nice preview. I'll be at this game and if they give up this one like they did the last game I went to, I'm gonna have to walk out. lol, maybe not. But still. Anyways, McGrady vs. Iverson is a great matchup just like Glenn vs. Keith. I wish that Lue was playing. Lue vs. Iverson always exciting. Brings back thoughts of the '01 Finals. Sixers by 5.
Have a good time at the game. You're right, Lue and Iverson would have been nice. Magic will need to play the full 48 minutes, but they rarely do which is why I am going with the Sixers on this occasion.
Wow, this game tonight made me sick. It really did. This team... I just don't know anymore. Coleman broke a finger and is out 6 weeks. Why wasn't Kyle put into the game until the end of the 3rd? Did anyone notice when he came in we started to make a run? Then, he was continuiously open and never given the ball. Selfish play by Snow and Iverson who by the way missed the shots they were trying to take instead of giving it to Korver. Right now I'm sorry to say that I'm ashamed to be a Sixers fan. The lottery is looking mighty good right now.
