NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Please say it isn't so....PLEASE! Thad Young, who has scored 20+ points in the last 10 games went down in obvious pain last night in the first quarter. This would be a catastrophic loss for the Sixers if he is out for any kind of extended time. For a team that, except for Brand, hasn't had other guys missing any time at all, they could be down 2 starters heading toward the playoffs. It's difficult to tell how truly bad this is for Young until after the MRI today but it cannot be any better than a serious sprain. He wouldn't even put an ounce of weight on it as he came off the floor. The crowd had an awkwardly nervous hush come over it. Arrrgggghhhhh. Now we wait to see....

Big win for the Sixers though for two reasons: stop the bleeding of the recent losses to keep pace with Miami (do they really want the 5 seed either?) and also nice to see how we match up with the Hawks in case we face them in the playoffs. With Young in, I think we take a series with them. With him out, they will be close games.
