Alright ladies and gentleman, time for game 6. I am eager to see how the Sixers respond to the Bulls taking game 5. The Sixers need to make sure they live on the free throw line because that is how they won their games this series. Jrue will need to keep up his aggressiveness and also find a way to jump-start the offense of his teammates. I know it is a lot to ask but he has showed the potential to be an elite combo guard this series. Now, he will have to do it when it matters most. Spencer Hawes will have to continue his double double play that has been a big part of this series. We will need him especially if Joakim Noah plays, at time of this post he is still a game time decision. I guess they mean that literally. Defense will be crucial to the Sixers getting out on the fast break and limiting the Bulls' second chance opportunities. Our bench must come through, especially in those times of the game when the Sixers struggle to score. That means Lou Williams and Thaddeus Young will have to show up big time. Lou has been pretty consistent and needs to stay on the attack. Thaddeus needs to do the exact opposite of what he has been doing this series. Thad has had zero effect on the offensive side, while doing an average job on Boozer defensively. The player who will be most important to me is Evan Turner. His ability to drive to the bucket and get contact should keep him on the charity stripe. Foul trouble plagued him last game and he needs to realize that the Bulls are intentionally doing this. He needs to control his temper. I am predicting a 5 point win by the Sixers and we will await the dreaded Celtics who are their likely opponent in the Conference Semifinals. Let's go Sixers!!
