Fantastic win by the boys after the breakdown against Atlanta. Leaves us 2-2.

And thanks for that schedule update SB4B

Its great for us to be 2-2 but we have Miami next so that could go either way. Hope Brand destroys Beasley and AI shuts down Wade.

 

[sblack]

We should be worrying more about the Friday game against Orlando. Miami won't be able to contain Brand and Dal. Haslem..no good, and I don't even know who they have at C. Marion not as effective at Miami so far, and the extra depth we have off our bench should get us over Miami easily enough.

I just feel that Miami will be up one week and down the next, Orlando are good but they have been really out of form same as Boston. Also whats surprising is the good form of Memphis.

Boston 3-1. Beating the 3rd best team in the west. Losing to Indiana
Orlando 2-2, with 1 lose to Memphis with a buzzer beater.


Miami got beaten comfortably by Charlotte, who aren't playing very well, and a loss to the Knicks. Beat Sacramento for their only win, which atm is proving very difficult

So Miami, proven they can beat ******s, and lose to ******s. Nothing special. They will not be competition for the playoffs

Who knows, this is the East....

Meh. Heat should be easy pickings, Orlando will be a challange. If we bring anything like what we brought against NY, Kings then we'll blow them out the water if we don't then anything can happen.

i really like the look of phili this year and hopefully they show a game on foxtel at some stage

We've got 1 around the start of next month

 

[S.C[BANKS]]

You got to be kidding me.

A blow-out loss from a team that couldn't even buy a win last season.

Only in Philly

 

[BenF]

Pretty poor result today. Its amazing how we can be so great against Sacramento, yet so awful against teh Heat

Orlando tomorrow. It isnt getting easier.

 

[Warsaw]

Blah. WTF! Wasn't just a close loss was a blow out in the end. Young has been great thus far which is all you can expect from a kid like him but guys like Brand and especially Iggy need to take the next step up. It's all well and good having a team that scores consistently well but we need individuals to step up and come up with 30 point games.

Do you sixers fan believe that Lou Williams is in your future plans?

He will be the replacement for Miller and they also signed him up for about 3-4 years, I think a month ago. So he is going to be sixth man this year and starting point guard when Miller leaves.

Do you like the idea of a shoot first, second and pass third type point gaurd running your team with two up and coming wings?

 

[PVF]

Eat your words Philly fans .

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

You guys noticed Thad Young is completely outplaying your 70 million dollar man Iguodala?

AI: 10ppg, 38%FG, 15%3FG, 4 ass, 3 rebs.
Young: 16ppg, 56%FG, 56%3FG.

 

[Warsaw]

Iggy has to step it up no doubt about it. Don't know whether it's the move of playing with Brand or whatever it is but he has to life up his game to the all star potential that we all know he has. I expect a break out game by him coming soon though.

If he is your point guard for the future you have some real issues.

He is a shoot first slasher rather than a true distributor, which doesn't help when you have Dalembert/Brand wanting it low and Igoudala and Young on the wings.

6th man at best.

 

[The Casey Cat]

Damn did not watch today but why in the world is Andre Miller chucking 24 shots while Brand takes 8 ? Unlike Miller to take that many shots he's not that sort of player usually. Got some shit to work out this team.

Yeah I don't like it but he can work on his passing, he is still young.

Dalembert barely hits any points so I don't know why he would be wanting it low and also Williams is still young. I don't why you would say he is a sixth man at best because he likes to hits 17 points a game while also getting 5 assists.

 

[mdc]

Louis Williams is a poor man's Iverson, no wonder all the Philly fans love him.

He's not a starter by any stretch.

 

[Warsaw]

2-4. Didn't predict this at all.

Early days yes it is but getting a good start is vital for a teams aspirations and so far we have been all talk and no action. Iggy had a solid game today lifting with Brand being doubleteamed. We got off to a shitter start last season and then went through a period where we were on fire. Hoping for more of the same this time around but this good enough and early enough to see us reach top 4 of the East.
