At Philadelphia 7PM

tv: FSN

This game is going to mean something to the Sixers as they are trying to hang onto the 6th seed. Piston starters should be fresh since they sat out most of the NY game.

Pistons must have been looking towards this game as the starters didn't bother showing up against the Knicks. Hopefully this game will be worth watching.

Yeah Sheed will be close to home as will Rip so maybe both play and are inspired...

No rest for the wicked!

Definitely about time for Rip to starting shaking off the rust.

Has his hip healed by now?

Seems like last week they were saying that he would play if it were the playoffs so I'm assuming so. Haven't read anything though.

I was hoping Philly would get the 5th seed, but not at our expense!

Well there goes our 60 win season....two games in a row, we score 94 points and lose...

So that's seven straight losses on Wednesday, but what else is new? We got one more loss scheduled for next Wednesday vs the Cavs and then we need to go the NBA playoff scheduler and make sure they don't schedule any playoff games on Wednesday

Another ho-hum effort from the starters, but better effort than last night. Once again Flip played the bench in the 4th and they made a mini run, but this was an end to end win for the sixers and Philly played their big 3 to the end to thwart any zoo crew comeback..

The Sixers win keeps them in sixth spot and some say maybe the Pistons were sandbagging to avoid the sixers in the first round....well maybe as we were only 3 to 4 decent plays from beating them even though it appeared they were getting every shot and every break. They look good enough to beat the Magic IMO and guess what? We may see them anyway..but in the second round....
