After a solid start, the Sixers sputtered in the second quarter, but were definitely born again hard when they came out of the locker room for the second half. I would've loved to have been a fly on the wall in there for Eddie Jordan's halftime speech. The Sixers are back to .500 after cruising though the fourth quarter to a 99-86 win over the rudderless Milwaukee Bucks.

I went into this game tracking two things for the Sixers: DiLeo's rotations and Reggie Evans' touches on offense. Take a look after the jump.

If the big question was who would step up in Thad Young's absence, the simple answer was just about everyone. In particular, Lou Williams and Donyell Marshall who led a fierce second-half comeback against the weary Bucks en route to a 105-95 win.

Nine games to go, 4 at home, 5 on the road. Tonight's matchup with the 32-44 Milwaukee Bucks could be a barometer for how this regular season will end. Milwaukee played last night, typically the Sixers would look past the Bucks. Will Thad's absence light a fire under the rest of the team, or will it be the same old, same old from the up-and-down Sixers?

How good is Andre Miller? When guarded by D-League-caliber defenders (like Luke Ridnour) he shoots with his eyes closed. He's that good.

Could you imagine our record if the coach did follow that method. ...

The Sixers last met the Bucks, in Milwaukee, on December 17th. Going into that game, both teams were struggling about 5 games under .500. That was the night Elton Brand was lost to injury. Since Philly's 93-88 win, the teams have gone in different directions.

If you haven't heard, the Sixers were dealt a potentially deadly blow in the third quarter tonight. Elton Brand went down with a dislocated shoulder. I'll have more on that later, for now, let's talk about this come-from-behind win and how the bench carried the Sixers to the win.

First, the good news. Milwaukee is 11-15 coming into this game, but they only have 1 win over a team with a record over .500 (San Antonio sans Manu and Parker). The bad news: The Sixers only have 1 win over a + .500 team as well (Detroit, post-Chauncey). Wow, that's just sad.
