Tonight's game against the Nuggets is a challenging one -- for reasons outlined in an earlier blog. Last time the Sixers played Denver, the Nuggets were without Anthony. And still Denver won (although the Sixers were ahead by 17 in the third quarter).
X-Factor: I still think J.R. Smith is the key to this game. If he has less than eight points, the Sixers will win. If he has more than 14, the Sixers lose. If he has between eight and 14, then he isn't the X-Factor, and I'm no longer accountable.
