Tonight in Phila-delphia, the Sixers buried the visiting Bulls, 98-82. It really wasn't as close as that; the team led by 20 at the end of the third quarter and kept Derrick Rose and the Bulls starters on the bench in the fourth. And the only real moment of disappointment was that they came close to the free Big Mac, but didn't take a final shot. So, what are the reasons to denigrate this win, the way the national media has denigrated nearly every other? The Bulls folded their tents early, since they have a game tomorrow night. The Bulls really missed Rip Hamilton, who is now out indefinitely with a leg problem, and I guess making excuses for injury is valid in some circles, regardless of the fact that Hamilton is ancient and ancient players get hurt. The game was at home, and you should win home games. The Sixers got 15 and 6 out of Lavoy Allen, who might be found money as a talented big from Temple who fell in the draft due to questions about motor, but looks just fine now...
