I'm not sure if I've ever posted on a forum at covers.com before, but after reading the initial post, I have no choice to put in my two cents.
The Sixers will not only win and cover tonight, but they'll probably win by double digits. And yes, I did watch the Sixers-Spurs game on Wednesday. Philadelphia 76ers by 12.
If you watched the game, you wouldn't take Philly, TRUST ME. Leads me to believe YOU DIDN'T WATCH THE GAME.

There are a few reasons. First, I think Doug Collins is a GREAT coach. Having not lost two games in a row this season is a testament to the fact that at least in part, he is able to make adjustments from game to game. Tony Parker smoked the Sixers on Wed. and I can promise you that since the final buzzer against the Spurs, Collins has reminded and re-reminded every single player on the team how badly Parker smoked them, and that CP3 will do the same thing unless adjustments are made. I can perfectly understand how sometime takes a separate view from mine and says "Parker smoked the Sixers last game, and Chris Paul is even better than Parker at what he does." I take the approach that the Sixers will be hyper-prepared for Paul, even more so than they would have been if Parker hadn't embarrassed them on Wed.
Second, while I think the Clippers can still go deep in the playoffs without Billups, Foye's learning curve will probably be a large one. I think it will take more than two games for Foye to make an impact, and playing on a Friday night in a loud arena 2500 miles away from home is not the best way to figure out how to be an adequate PG for your team.... That being said, Foye has played in Wells Fargo a number of times before while with 'Nova.
Getting knocked around by Cleveland on Wed. night, and thinking to themselves whether or not their season will take a turn for the worst with the loss of Billups, combined with the Sixers being ultra prepared for Paul behind the coach of the year in the NBA, makes me think the Clippers are in big trouble.

After watching Philly play last game vs the Spurs, I just couldn't believe how Tony Parker was just absolutely dissecting the Philly defense on the pick n roll. He did whatever he wanted to do WHENEVER HE WANTED TO DO IT.
Tonight Philly is running into a even more lethal PG that runs the Pick n Roll to perfection, CP3. Good luck Philly, you're gonna need it.
Philly hasn't lost 2 covers in a row all season, guess what guys... IT HAPPENS TONIGHT..
Clippers MONEYLINE
You called it buddy. Close game though, eh?
