    Philadelphia 76ers

    Keys To The Game

    Limiting Turnovers: The sixers need to limit the amount of turnovers they give up. This is because the pistons can turn those into points easily. The sixers giving up a lot of turnovers was common during the season against the pistons and the pistons turned those into points quickly

    Play Good Defense: The Sixers are not gonna get to be the offensive power house they were in the season against the pistons so they better be ready to play good on their weak side. The sixers are just flat out bad on defense so if they wanna keep up with the pistons they better stop them from scoring because the sixers wont be able to score that much.

    Find C-Webb in the Low Post: They definately need C-Webb to be an offensive force down low if they want to win. They cant just have him jack up jump shots because he has a better chance of hitting his baby hooks and lay-ups than jumpshots. And C-Webb needs to be more aggresive. He has been playin scared all year with the sixers and he is gonna be more scared when he is gonna have to go against Ben Wallace down low. He needs to be aggressive.

    Key Players for The Sixers

    Allen Iverson: Iverson is going to need to have a big game on the offensive side because that is probably where most of the sixers points are going to come from against the Pistons
    Projected Stats For Sixers to win: 44 pts 10 ast 4 rbs 5 stls

    Chris Webber: They are going to need Chris Webber to play good in this game. Im hoping by now he has gelled with the team and may be able to play fluidly in the sixers offense
    Projected stats for sixers to win: 19 pts 12 rbs 4 ast 1 blk

    This will be a tough game for the sixers and they will need to have a good game to win. If They play any worse than pretty good they will lose

    to tell you the truth, i will take the sixers in an upset in this one, that's if and only if c-webb plays better than he has been. i agree. he better not take too much of him mid range jump shots cause he sucks there, and i think that he should go back to shooting hooks. he has to be agressive. also, our veterens, aaron and jackson and rodgers need to step up. AI can't be doing all the work.

    Honestly the only way the Sixers have a chance in this series is winning game 1. It would set the tone for the series but honestly this series should last no longer than 5 games. Iverson has struggled with the Pistons over the years and having to face Prince and the Wallace brothers takes It's tole on you as the series goes on.

    True, but it's not the same as it was in the past. It'll take a toll on Allen, but when you have a second hand man then it won't be as bad. In the past AI hasn't had a player who can score on a consistent basis so that make things a lot differet. Besides if TayShaun is playing man on AI, then that'll probably leave Iguodala or Korver open for jumpers as well and both have proven they can knock down shots when they are open.

    I really think the sixers need Webber to win these games, it seems as if they are better of without him at times, but he is a great player and he needs to show it by becoming a big part of their offense.

    Yea I agree Iverson cant do all the work and C-Webb needs to step it up and play his game. I hope Jim O'Brien can set up an offense where he can be effective.
