Unsung Heroes

... Hero.

Rodney Carney is his name, fooling the Pistons is his game. What's encouraging about this one is, Willie Green sat out. Andre Miller left in the fourth quarter. The Pistons came back and took the lead as the Pistons do. But the Sixers fought through it and got the W. Rodney Carney had 16 points and played some great defense.

So far Philly is 1-1 in Judgement Week. After getting embarrassed by the Celtics on Monday, the Sixers clung to a lead and eeked out a one point win, 83-82. Detriot just looked confused. Not at all like themselves. Maybe they won't sweep Philly in the playoffs.

The Celtics, however... now THEY are GOOD. And I mean very good. Just a quick note about that game-- Sam Cassell's past in the then First Union now Wachovia Center absolutely haunts him. He picked up three fouls in about two minutes the other night.
