Soon time to fade Sixers. Team is not as good as they've performed.

Yea i know the time is coming soon. I might be wrong about this game, we will see. No play as of yet but my first instinct tells me 76ers win and cover.

For what its worth...
In the 3 games following Sixers losses this season, wins have come by 20, 28, and 31 points.

Haven't capped the game yet but its definitely an early lean. Philly matches up well with thuglanta.

**t-wizzle** · 01-20-12, 12:17 PM

Philly -6 at The Greek

While I agree with the play, Greek's been junk lately t-wizz. Not nearly as reliable as it used to be.

**PAULYPOKER** · 01-20-12, 12:52 PM

They opened @-6.5 in Vegas and now they are @ -5.5 at the main shops in Vegas,early$$ was on ATL but recently there has been a complete swing of action on the 6ers,long story short I no longer like the play..........

I knew he was not playing before that,no official time but early this morning I got this news>
Hawes missed Wednesday's game against the Nuggets after suffering a left Achilles' tendon strain in Monday's game. He will not play Friday against the Hawks.

**t-wizzle** · 01-20-12, 02:34 PM

Sixers still win and cover. Book it.

So you knew before the Sixers' communication director?

**Pauulzcappin** · 01-20-12, 02:48 PM

Hawks are the play here IMO, but I swore to never back this team again.

this is so true.

**Goat Milk** · 01-20-12, 03:53 PM

good call on the 49ers. that game was nuts. i really thought it was over after that last brees drive. smith is good.

bengals, you would be wrong about the sixers. they are a top 4 team in the eastern conference. i wrote in my thread they would be great ats before the year started. these are the types of games i always stay away from because hawks and sixers rosters are way too similar.

**rapidfire5** · 01-20-12, 03:56 PM

Why is everyone sleeping on the hawks

**moshi** · 01-20-12, 04:49 PM

Note that around the same proportion on PHI -6 are on ATL ML = roughly 65%.

Philly beats Atlanta in a playoff series if they meet.

**ebbearsfb1** · 01-20-12, 06:10 PM

Sixers win don't cover. Everyone loses their rooster

Wondering the same thing myself...

Horford is out but they are 5-0 since. Regardless, Philly is weak inside offensively with Hawes out. Holiday vs. Teague is a wash. J-Smoove is RED hot and should give Philly fits. Having Marvin Williams back is huge as he gives them size, strength, versatility, and is a solid defender.

Philly is a bit deeper, and the key in this game will be the battle of the benches, where Philly has had the upper hand all year. But they haven't really been challenged physically this season so this should be an interesting matchup. Atlanta has the ability to slow this game down and bang with Philly. If a guy like Jodie Meeks can't rain 3's the Sixers could be in trouble.

IMO this spread should be closer to 4. I'm taking the +6.5 and going with Atlanta. GL

**joedell** · 01-20-12, 06:42 PM

i love the sixers to rebound tonight after that last loss hawks playing their first road without horford they played 4 games at home without him and went 4-0

**Ethan1122** · 01-20-12, 08:06 PM

The sixers need Hawes to have a chance with the better teams. That said, pound the Heat tomorrow.

**LUNT101** · 01-20-12, 08:08 PM

Atlanta in control at the half. Up 14+ with the spread. First real good defense Philly has faced and they are having trouble running their offense. They need to get out in transition and hit some 3's if they want to stay in this game.

**Sport_Fish** · 01-20-12, 08:15 PM

Sixer`s probably gonna lose SU

**ksnooksk** · 01-20-12, 08:16 PM

This reminds me of that Mavs @ Utah game last night. 76ers arent ready for a balanced and experienced team.

**joedell** · 01-20-12, 08:33 PM

Sixers take their first lead of the game lets do this boys!

**ksnooksk** · 01-20-12, 08:35 PM

Yep, nice run!
