"At this moment, the Sixers are still calling it a game-time decision as to whether Andre Iguodala and Lou Williams will be available for tomorrow's Eastern Conference playoff opener against the Miami Heat.

As far as the individuals involved are concerned, both have come to the same conclusion.

"That's the plan," said Iguodala, who has tendinitis in his right knee and sat out the last two games to rest for the playoffs. "We want to try and get it right.

"This is the part of the season where you just have to play through the pain, no matter what. It can't be an excuse. You have to make the best of the situation and try to help your team win."

The Sixers spent most of yesterday watching film and doing a walk-through of what they want to do against Miami.

Coach Doug Collins said that his players are tired physically and mentally and that the best thing to do is have light practices and get them fresh and re-energized for tomorrow, the first of a best-of-seven series."
