PREVIOUSLY, THE PHILADELPHIA 76ers...won 101-86 in Milwaukee on Wednesday night, their third win in their last sixteen games. I'm not one to accuse a team of tanking (nor one to make a moral judgment about the tactic) so I'll just pass along the following item: Jason Kapono is expected to make his third consecutive start for the 76ers tonight.

The Hawks beat the 76ers 100-87 in Philadelphia on November 27th and 112-93 in Atlanta on the 3rd of this month.

Consider this an open thread for all pre-game, in-game, and post-game (but pre-recap) thoughts.
