Magic vs. Sixers: The Dwight Howard Complex in a Battle of Sinking Ships
Both teams need a win really badly. Who gets it?

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.
The Sixers were lethargic and uninterested in playing the Raptors and they proved it by losing by 21 points.
The 76ers really want to get the 7th seed as they tank a home game against the lowly Raptors. Post-game it here.
Based on Andre's quote in the Sports Illustrated article, some people are directing anger his way.
Nothing yet on Iguodala but Turner played well in place of him this game.
