Shouldn't forget to give credit to Wortho tonight as well. He was the only guy out there who seemed to know how to go out and win a basketball game. After being well covered by Holmes in the first half, he worked his way into the game and when it was there to be won he was the guy who stepped up and seized the game.

The Good:the Ninja to "Tez ally-oop.Close second: at half time "The Gymwits"

The Bad:No one assigned to Worthington when he woke up.The Allens lollies bag emptied for a sugar burst and then the fire was put out on the turbo it was meant to inspire!

The Ugly:Ballingers reject from behind being a foul( from a playing/ umpires' perspective)

The guy is an arrogant dick, but to be fair, game was there to win and Wortho stepped up... as everyone expected he would. That game was tentative for at least a quarter waiting for someone to seize it by the throat and win it. And no one wearing red bothered trying.

That was a depressing second half! Unfortunately nothing changed tonight offensively. Outside of Balls, we are still a one trick, drive to the hoop pony. The Tigers started doubling Balls and we didn't seem to understand how to counter it with ball movement.

No-one other than Balls and Ng seems confident shooting outside 10 feet. Gilchrist, Groves and Hill better find some shooting touch quickly to keep opponents honest or its gonna be a long season.

And Matty Burston, heal up soon because we got killed on the boards late in the game too!

Depression sets in - that was so very bad.
A terrible night . Maybe they played a few good minutes in the 2nd qtr. They miss Burston terribly.
A little bit of Groves , in patches.
Gilchrist had a hand bandaged - don't know whether that had anything to do with being off in the last qtr or not.
(about 3000 there) - 'Can we get our money back'
Some asked...

This 3rd quarter is turning into a horror show for Sixers.

We are currently on a 11 game winning streak at home.

Still a long way off our best being 20 straight, but 3 more wins will see us equal our 2nd best home streak ever.

Wortho is still playing hurt, as is Crosswell and Greer.
Full court press the tigers and they will fold like a bad hand in poker...

Contain Worthington, don't let Sammy Mc and Crosswell penetrate, and your guys will be OK at defensive end.
Scoring may be more difficult with your half court game breaking down to whatever Gilchrist or Groves end up doing. If they can hit some perimeter shots (along with Ng) then they may get some confidence.
Otherwise the game could be a grind. This will keep the Tigers in it and game will be decided by big plays down stretch.

Looking forward to the first Sixers game on Fox ;)
As much as I'm loving Rivus TV bring on the Foxtel!

Feel this is a must win for the Sixers if they are serious about top 4 this season (but than nearly every game is!).

Point to prove after the 30 point loss out west.
Must protect the home court more than ever this season.
Tigers youngsters and in particular Johnson will be out with a point to prove and show they can play with increased minutes and oppurtunity.
A bit of talk/hype over Gilchrist's reactions during the loss, sure he will be out to show his worth.

Bring on the game!
