First Dwight, now CP3? That schedule isn't conducive to winning

The Sixers were back to their choke artist ways on Saturday night, losing to the Orlando Magic 106-100.  There were some positives to take away from the game, but the 76ers inability to score late in the game resulted in their 5th loss of the seven games since the All-Star break.

Sixers vs. Magic Game Notes:

• The Sixers came out with strong team rebounding and Dwight Howard didn’t get a rebound until midway through the 2nd quarter.  Superman ended the game with only 12 points and 8 rebounds.
• Dalembert didn’t contribute much, and again struggled with foul trouble.  Sammy played only 16 minutes, and managed only 8 points and 6 rebounds.
• The Magic adjusted by passing the ball out to waiting shooters around the 3-point line when Howard was double teamed in the paint.  Courtney Lee threw up 12 threes himself, as Orlando ended up hitting 15 of their 37 3-point attempts.  Although many of the threes didn’t fall early in the game, the Magic’s shooting was key in their late game comeback.
• Andre Miller did everything he could offensively to keep the team in the ballgame late, but couldn’t finish off the Magic by himself.  Miller ended with 23 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists.

Tonight, CP3 is going to strip the 76ers faster than a dance girl on a Friday night

Now the NBA’s other 23 year old superstar is coming to town, and the outlook doesn’t look much brighter for tonight’s game.  CP3 and the Hornets have won their past four straight games, and Paul has a way of owning the Sixers.

The SOB nation will be fully represnted at the game, as Espozita and CheezWhizard (formally DawkPlex) will be a few rows being the visitors bench throwing dimes at Chris Paul.  Yea CP3, we’re good at that too.

Do they cancel NBA games due to snow?
