With another tough loss and a starting lineup change imminent, the Sixers fall 2 games behind the Boston Celtics, only 1.5 games ahead of Milwaukee for the last playoff spot in the east, and are on the precipice of a disaster.
"Don't have the answer for that," was Otis Smith's response when ESPN asked the Orlando Magic's President of Basketball Operations if Stan Van Gundy would remain Orlando's head coach for the duration of his contract, which runs through the 2012/13 season.
Magic end five-game losing streak with 88-82 win over 76ers. Glen Davis scored 23 points, Dwight Howard 20 points along with 22 rebounds.
The Orlando Magic have promoted J.J. Redick to the starting lineup while Hedo Turkoglu sits due to injury.
Both teams need a win really badly. Who gets it?
The Magic will be even more shorthanded against the Sixers Saturday night.
Thad says he's fine. Doug says he's injured. This is what we need more of, sure.
In which I write a soliloquy as Doug Collins.
Do we want the Sixers to make the Playoffs?
With far less venom than I had anticipated, here's the state of the Sixers after the painful loss last night to the Raptors.
