I'll keep an eye out then - the clippers/sixers staples game is usually the one sixers game i don't get on tv all year due to stupid tv rules...and it's usually scheduled at an odd time (or i just remember the odd sunday 12 pm starts better than the others)
I've seen the Lakers/Sixers two times since Staples Center opened and I didn't have trouble getting tickets then. Though I think it would be cooler to see Brand drop 40 on his old team.
Btw..Seeing AI play live, 7 rows back, it amazing. Not sure how close you've got to see him play but you have a million times more respect then if you watch him on TV. I watched Shaq level him on a move towards the rim, he gets right back up, ball comes back in to him, goes past Shaq, and scores.
