Sixers-Bulls: Game 6 scouting report PLAYERS TO WATCH: SIXERS: Jrue Holiday: The point guard has been able to get the most quality shots for the Sixers, but hasn't been able to knock them down at a very good rate. Not only will he need to shoot well, he will need to do it early. Guards got the job done for the Sixers Once the 76ers figured out that the way to beat Chicago was to get up and down the court, scrambling the Bulls offense - as they did in their out-of-this-world performance in Game 2 - the Bulls put the clamps to the Sixers. John Smallwood: Sixers in land of the unknown DOUG COLLINS had no choice. He had to watch film of the Sixers' mind-boggling loss to the Chicago Bulls in Game 5.
