It's funny I started writing a blog yesterday that was very detailed about the Sixers game quarter by quater commentary. However in the midst of writing my first blog about the Sixers the computer gimped and everything was lost. Luckily enough the Sixers third quarter blunder, did not jeopardize their lead and they won. Unfortunately the Flyers who were 3-0 in the game were eventually bested by Crosby, Malkin, and crew. John Stevens in my opinion does not seem to be the same coach who has won the Calder Cup! The main problem with Flyers hockey in the last 20 + years is the dump and chase it truly is a sign of weakness to offensive teams that are fast and accurate on goal. We will talk more of the Flyers next year!
The only thing to talk about now is Andre Miller and AI2 and the Sixers sure they are not a contender, but with their new coach Tony Dileo anything is possible. They have a culpable offense and when they pay attention to detail they can turn over the ball more times than you would like. Orlando has Howard who seems unstoppable, however if Turkalu and Lewis are contained the Sixers should be able to handle the Magik and take a nice lead in the series. This will be reliant on if the Sixers can use the defense to their advantage and utilizing fast break opportunities to make some easy points in the paint. All in all I think that they can handle the Magik, but if they do will they be able to handle round 2?
