This is cool! Game #3 will be the most relevant Sixers' playoff game since the the last game against the Lakers in the Finals.— Dave in Cincy- Wow ! ! Who were those guys ?? Haven't seen them all year.
I always watched the "other"guys.You know the ones that usually didn't play with much confidence and choked in key situations late in the season and barely made the playoffs.Those are the guys I usually watched for about the last 25 games.— Ernie Garman - Sixers will win games 3 and 4 if they aren't close at the end. Chicago's goal is the NBA championship. Sixers goal is the Eastern Conference second round. Chicago now has doubt because of the loss of Rose. Sixers have confidence because of game two blowout. Edge to the Sixers. Book it.— philsix6

- I'm thinking it's the same team that went 20-9 to begin the season though with obvious changes. Turner instead of Meeks as the starting SG who is basically the PG. Jrue as the starting PG who is more the SG. We might not get the 3pt shooting from Turner but between Iguodala (surprise surprise!!!) and Jrue they can spread the floor enough to mix it up. No real production from center except LaVoy Allen who came out of nowhere to be our best at the position. Iguodala/Brand more of the same from them. Thad/Lou the same as the best bench scorers in the league. The biggest and best changes are inserting Turner as a starter and allowing him and Jrue to play their natural positions. I'm expecting the Bulls to come out with something to prove. Expect them to be aggressive but if the 76ers play the game their way they will put the Bulls back on the ropes. This might be a close score unless if either team comes out on fire and the other team comes out passive/already defeated. I'd prepare for the Bulls A game. Don't expect calls just because the 76ers will be home cause when have the refs ever been fair to this team? I happen to remember 3 foul calls in the first 30 seconds of the 2001 finals against the 76ers.......AT HOME. Stern & company still want Chicago because that's the better story for an east finals of Miami/Chicago instead of a repeat of Miami/Philly in the 2nd round. Though the 2nd option is the easier path to give the favorite Miami team an easy path to the finals.— joecooler2u
- The Sixers should match their style of play in the 3rd quarter of game 2. They outscored the Bulls 36-14, played great defense and looked like they were coasting (As in having lots of fun). Lot of dunks, fastbreaks and just were faster than the Bulls. Treat to watch and should be some great basketball to come this playoffs.— DonovanMcNabb
