Tipoff: 1930 EST at the Spectrum, Philadelphia.
TV: local S.Fla TV33 WDZL; any national coverage?

Injuries: (phi)Shackleford - twisted knee; (mia)Smith - knee surgery

Notes: (After the Warriors game, I thought I'd try to get more info on
upcoming oppenents than the Miami Herald provides. This messy post is
the result... I don't think I'll do that again...)

   Doug Moe, formerly a coach with Denver and San Antonio, took over the
Philadelphia 76ers this season after being out of basketball for two years.
   The 76ers are without Charles Barkley (traded to Suns) for the first time in
eight seasons but look to the addition of Jeff Hornacek, center Andrew Lang
and forward Tim Perry. "We had a tyrant who tried to bully the locker room,"
Gilliam said. "It's refreshing that Charles is not here and all his
outrageousness is gone. No one could knock his talent, but you had to question
his leadership."
   (phi)Dawkins is back from a calf injury for his 1st game this season.
   The Sixers are off to a 1-4 season start, and have shown late-game
competitiveness even in the losses, (except the recent Magic game.)
- In the 07nov loss, Nets 114, Sixers 111, Hornacek paced the 76ers with 22pts.
Other stats: Hawkins-21pts, rookie Weatherspoon-17pts, Gilliam-15pts,10rbs. The
76ers lost a 16pt Q3 advantage, dropping to 9pt gap. The lead changed hands at
least 7 more times in Q3-Q4.
- On 08nov, Knicks 89, Sixers 85, Hawkins led the Sixers with 20pts, Hornacek
(13pts), Anderson(11pts), Gilliam(11pts). They fought back from a 8pt gap in
to a tie, then dropped by 9 in Q4, regained a tie, losing in the last 48sec.
- Pacers 120, Sixers 114, 11nov. The 76ers gave up a 6pt halftime lead,
trailing by as much as 14 in Q4 before the 6pt loss. Hornacek(24pts)
- On 14nov, 76ers 126, Celtics 115, Hornacek scored a career-high 39pts, with
9assts and 5rbs. Gilliam added 22pts, all in the 1st half. Hawkins-16pts,
Weatherspoon-13pts. Boston cut a 16pt Q3 gap to 8pts, before the 76ers
regained a double-digit lead late in the quarter.
- On a hot night for Shaq (29pts, 19rbs), Magic 120, 76ers 110, on 18nov.
The Magic led 56-46 at the half, 87-74 after Q3, and led by 79-58 late in Q3.
Hawkins-32pts, Gilliam-27pts

   Hornacek is averaging 24.4ppg, Hawkins-20.8, Gilliam-18.6.
The 76ers are 0-2 this season at home, while Miami is 0-9 overall at the
the Spectrum. For Miami, Seikaly-23.5ppg, Rice-18.0 ppg. Miami's among the
league leaders in turnovers. However, Philadelphia's lead rebounder, Gilliam,
averages only 6.1/game. Miami has Seikaly-11.3 and Salley-7.2.
   (mia)Shaw's ankle is still sore, but he is travelling with the team.
