Orlando Magic @ Philadelphia 76ers Preview @ Orlando Magic @ Philadelphia 76ers Monday, December 22, 2003; 7:00 PM EST Wachovia Center, Philadelphia, PA TV; CSN (PHI), NBATV, NBALP <u>Score</u> (Final) PHI: 95 ORL: 73 <u>Head Coaches</u> PHI: Randy Ayers ORL: Johnny Davis Philadelphia 76ers Starters Center- Samuel Dalembert Power Forward- Kenny Thomas Small Forward- Glenn Robinson Shooting Guard- Aaron McKie Point Guard- Eric Snow Orlando Magic's Starters Center- Andrew Declerq Power Forward- Juan Howard Small Forward- Gordan Giricek Shooting Guard- Tracy McGrady Point Guard- Rod Strickland Key Player; Philadelphia Aaron McKie: 10.4 PPG, 4.2 RPG, 2.7 APG Key Player; Orlando Tracy McGrady: 24.7 PPG, 5.8 APG, 6.7 RPG <u>The Answer's Prediction</u> Althought Philadelphia comes off a 3 point loss at Boston, I think they have the skill to beat Orlando, even without their key player- Allen Iverson. Aaron McKie coming off a huge season high game(24 pts, 4-7 3FG), Eric Snow keeps up the assists (recently had 10 against Boston) and Kenny continues to grab around 10 rebounds a game. Derrick Coleman coming back from a knee sprain is helping the Sixers in scoring and rebounding. Final Prediction: Sixers defeat Orlando Magic by 8.
defenetly game by orlando..confident is at 100% and this game will pretty much depend on the bench production and orlando's magic bench is on fire. sixers without allen iverson have no way to win against T-mac and orlando which won 6 out of their last 8 games including 2 in the road one against best team in the east. my prediction..orlando by 8..Tmac and Gooden with monster game.

wow I was busy today so I couldn't get to any Sixers info... but nice job Answer. Ima try my best to make a recap...a big one lol Isn't your sig kinda big? lol
Kyle Korver is making me prouder with every game. Although he didn't shoot that good, he still had a decent point total.
