Two nights after laying a turd in South Philly, the Sixers went on the road and shocked the Detroit Pistons.
They held the Pistons to just 65 shot attempts, and while they shot 46%, if you combine the lack of attempts, with 15 turnovers, and just 15 assists, the result is an 83-82 win by the gritty Sixers.
Big time win for the Sixers against the 2nd best team in the NBA, who many feel will make it to the finals. I disagree though because Flip Saunders is the NBA equivalent to Marty Schottenheimer in the playoffs; just an absolute rube when it counts.
And, the Sixers did it without Andre Miller for most of the game by having Rodney Carney of all players step up.
Big time win for the young upstart Sixers. Just a shame they couldn't do it against the C's at the Wach. That would have brought the house down and really got the buzz going.
Such is life in Philly though. I'll take a win against the Pistons though. They needed this one.

Flyers bumble again
One night after laying a brown egg against the Maple Leafs, the Flyers did it again.
What's worse than blowing a 3-goal lead? Probably losing to the same team again on the next night on your home ice.
The Flyers lost 3-2 last night at the Wach and were booed relentlessly.
And, that's just what the Flyers did.
Although John Stevens stepped up big-time by ripping his players (which most coaches won't do in the media) his days will be numbered if they miss the playoffs.
This was a team thought by many to make huge strides this year after an abominable season the year prior. And, they're hanging onto that 8th spot by a piece of tooth floss.

Lenny's making moves
While one former Phillie made news this week for going off at his kid's game (that would be Mitch Williams), another former Phillie is making major news as a successful businessman.
That would be Lenny Dkystra. He's being featured on "Real Sports" with Bryant Gumble and they'll discuss his success with a string of carwashes and his rise in the world of stock investing.
Way to go Lenny. Good to see a former Philly star move on up in the world.

What a win for the Sixers. If they keep this up, we will forget about last season when they could've got Durant or Oden because Thaddeus looks like the next-dare I say it McGrady or better yet Kobe.
