76ers - Round 2 PHI : BOS - 4:3 - CF vs Heat short preview

[Grandmama Johnson]

Rough month for sure, but much better to have one now as opposed to in the playoffs

Just curious, what does Turner's potential grade look like? He's playing so well already, I wonder how much better he can get

[Nutellar]

I think he can get one of the best Guards in this story, i am thinking about to get him some help with a strong inside scorer for the next season. Someone better than Elton Brand, any ideas?

4 Game Update (2:2)



ATL @ PHI - 105:107 - WIN - 1:3
Despite Jamal Crawford had an unbelievable night hitting 9 out of 10 threes, the Hawks lost this game in Philadelphia. The 76ers had a huge run in the 2nd quarter leading 64 : 50 at the half. Then Jamal Crawford startet to hit from outside one after another. Finally the Hawks almost tied the game just in time Crawford scoring 43 points.

JJ Hickson was named player of the game, he scored 29 points 3 assists and 8 rebounds from the bench.



---

PHI @ MIA - 84:96 - LOSS - 0:3
All 3 Games of the season series go to the Heat. The Heat had an impact season so far close to their 60th win already in the end of March. Miami could finish the season with one of the best records ever.

Evan Turner had a poor Game scoring only 7 points, the whole 76ers team shot only 42% from the field while the Heat shot 47%.



---

SAC @ PHI - 120:100 - LOSS - 2:0
The 76ers also lost their second game against the Kings. This is very surprising due to the fact that the Kings are still on the last position in the Western Conference. This time you can count the win to Tyreke Evans who scored 24 points 8 assists and 2 rebounds.




---

PHI @ CHI - 112:104 - WIN - 2:1
The Answer Allen Iverson met his old franchise in Chicago. Iverson was signed from Free Agency this year and traded from Houston to the Bulls. A.I. scored 12 points 3 assists and booked 3 steals.
The Bulls are still struggeling and are not safe qualified for a playoff spot yet. This loss against the 76ers makes it even tougher for them.







Jrue Holiday blocks Josh Smith << >> Boozer tanks through the paint

2:2 , well it aint the world end. Nice play from Hickson also.

[Nutellar]

2:2 , well it aint the world end.

Nope, its still very good and i can still catch up with Boston, Boston is 47:27 right now. I am very excited which team will be my first round opponent...
... at the moment it looks like Pistons , Knicks or Bulls.

Pistons maybe would be the easiest but Bulls or Knicks would be more fun.





I played 78 Games so far on 11 minutes quarter (1 game a day), i think i wont do that again next season.

[Grandmama Johnson]

Your projected playoff matchup looks pretty good. You can definitely take care of the Bucks. Mavs v. Hornets? That's gonna be a great series if it happens.

[Cruzerr]

Turner having ROTM is no surprise, I hope you face the Bucks.

No surprise at all

Your projected playoff matchup looks pretty good. You can definitely take care of the Bucks. Mavs v. Hornets? That's gonna be a great series if it happens.

At the moment there are 4 possible opponents left, Milwaukee , Detroit, Indiana, and Chicago. I would prefer Chicago because Allen Iverson signed with them, this would be a great matchup.

I am concerned about the Magic, its going to be tough for them to make the post season. I also hope the Clippers still make it...

[Nutellar]

Going to speed things up a little, posting April results tomorrow and then lets go for the Playoffs

4 Game Update (4:0)



HOU @ PHI - 102:105 - WIN - 0:2
Well earned win for Philadelphia;

The 76ers big three Iguodala, Holiday and Turner had a great game leading the Sixers to their 2nd win against the Rockets. Despite that loss the Rockets still do very well in the Western Conference, their Playoff spot could be fixed soon.




---

NJ @ PHI - 89:116 - WIN - 0:4
The New Jersey Nets never had been a contender for the 76ers this season, the series ends 4:0 for Philly. Iguodala with another 30 point game spark some hope to the 76ers fans for the post season.
New Jersey failed on the boards loosing the rebounding battle 36:50. Deron Williams had 11 assists but only 16 points. The Nets are still way better than last year, but the post season is out of reach.



---

PHI @ MIL - 113:95 - WIN - 3:1
The 4th straight win for the Philadelphia 76ers. Anderson Varejao with a huge game 22 points and 13 rebounds. The Bucks are still battling for the last Playoff seeds. This might have been a preview of the Eastern Quarterfinals.




---

PHI @ BOS - 112:101 - WIN - 4:0
A sweep in the season series could secure the 76ers the second seed in the East. In the battle of the two main contendors in the Atlantic Division, Philly made a big step to take advantage.
Ray Allen had a big night scoring 40 points, however the Celtics could not find a way to stop Evan Turner and his 76ers this season. Philadelphia can go with a lots of confidence into a possible playoff series against the Celtics.

With this win Philadelphia completed their first 5 Game winning streak this year. Its also the 50th victory overall, which is a real great number compared to the 27 wins in 2010.







Can Iguodala step up in the post season? << >> Hickson takes charge

[Cruzerr]

Nicely done. Grats on fifth straight. I hope Turner and Iggy dont choke in post season.

[Nutellar]

For all the Knicks and Hawks fans, both teams clinched a playoff spot.

Heh, can't wait for play-offs. Nice winning streak here.

Finally a long season is done, i still cant believe i played all 82 Games

Now looking really forward to the playoffs because there are some really thrilling duels out there.

[Bucket]

Nice, all 82 games played
Now long and tough playoffs...

[Cruzerr]

Dude, these matchups are awesome. Miami-Chicago, Clippers-Lakers, Thunder-Hornets. I really hope you defeat the Pacers, holding both Granger and Lee is tough, but holding " In your game " Turner and Iggy is even harder.

[Nutellar]

I dont underestimate the Pacers they made a really big run since February. Since they traded TJ Ford for David Lee they climbed from 12th to 7th seed in the East.

[Grandmama Johnson]

Well done on finishing all 82 games

Indiana should be a good matchp. As you mentioned, they've really improved recently. You're smart not to underestimate them.

[Mavs4Life]

Well atleast there's no mving around in L.A.
Good luck. Turner for ROY & MVP!
