Opening night is finally here. Most of the world will be watching the World Series. I'll be watching Andre Iguodala put up a triple-double in a win over the defending Eastern Conference champs. If you're watching the World Series, check in after the game. If you're not, join me during, in the always entertaining live game threads. Pow.

But it's the friggin World Series!
I’m more of a Sixers fan than a Phillies fan, but the opening game of the World Series is a higher priorty. Still, there’s a lot of wasted time during baseball, and the Sixers game starts earlier and will end before the baseball game. I’ll just switch back and forth, and watch both teams win.
Anxious to see the Sixers against what is expected to be an elite team (and who has played like one in the preseason) Adding Brand to the starting line-up is a big deal, and Smith and Speights as support for the front line is as well. I think the team will be guard-centric to start, it isn’t clear if the Sixers will be able to draw Howard out to open up the lane. But if Lou and Andre can get off some good quick shots, the Sixers will be able to create some other opportunities.
Last season, the Sixers were good enough to beat Orlando, but not take them in a series. They had to play a very disciplined offense too, since the Magic didn’t let them run. That will still be the case this time. It will be interesting to see how effective the Princeton is against the Magic defense, and how hard the Sixers will work defending the three-point line. We should be somewhat better equipped this time around!
Lou Williams in a Braves hat? Brad Lidge on the Astros? What is this???
Oh, and the WS will probably get rained out, so the game might get huge ratings from the fans looking for something to do.

Who's with me?
I’ll consider tonight a success if Royal Ivey, Bill Green and Primoz Brezec play less than 13 combined minutes.

I’ll consider tonight a success if we win. I’m hoping Jrue gets more minutes than Bill but I wouldn’t be surprised if Jordan doesn’t play Jrue at all. Let’s hope the “EJ hates rookies” myth is just that.

fagan reporting that holiday is on inactive list tonight.. i guess we got our answer to if “ej hates rookies”
by Tanner Steidel on Oct 28, 2009 3:33 PM PDT up reply actions
I’ll be surprised if either Ivey or Brezec get any minutes at all. Preseason is over and Carney is back and healthy. Depending on how the matchups go, we may see Green get 15 min. by himself. I doubt that Jordan will be looking to play Holiday much in this game, but I would love to see him get a shot. Really, they don’t have any other guards, Carney isn’t one, that leaves Green, Holiday and Ivey able to sub for Williams. It’s hard not to see Willie getting minutes until Holiday can chase him out.
Theres literally no rain at all on the radar, they can play through a little drizzle. Lou is from Atlanta, and I was gonna say something about Jordan trying to get his Astros in their a little. Id think Jrue would get on the court more than Ivey, they basically fill the same role right now but the rook has the upside and needs to learn anyway. Willie will get his.
But I just want to see Brand not be awful. I’ll have to see the reactions on here since I won’t even be paying attention to the game the 1st hour cause I got to study, I have tests the day after both of the 1st 2 WS games.
is she the only person to ever sing at a magic game? at least when i see them she is

for tonight? i’m thinking it gets to be a huge run by the magic to start then the sixers come back, make it close, but can’t get a win… i say magic win by 6
by Tanner Steidel on Oct 28, 2009 4:11 PM PDT up reply actions
i’m thinking 117-114 Sixers in 2OT; Iggy for the win!

eddie abandoning it in the preseason was an awful idea
by Michael Levin on Oct 28, 2009 4:31 PM PDT up reply actions
damn sam

speights
let’s see how he does on howard. first test of the year.
awful shot selection
but what they hey i’ll take it
by Tanner Steidel on Oct 28, 2009 4:36 PM PDT up reply actions

Sorry I haven't been here
and I’m about to leave, because even I can’t say the Sixers are more important than the World Series. I’ll definitely be checking back in during commercials, though. Sorry, Jordan…
I know. I hope to be here for a great many of them.
Unfortunately, they have a LOT of Friday evening games this year… and the whole Jewish thing means I can’t do those.
I disagree
Last year it was wide open 3 shots all game long. This year I have seen a couple with 1 where Thad was no where near Petrius either time, 1 in, 1 miss. As long as a sixer is around, I am ok w/ 3s. Most will not make them if they are covered.
i'm pretty sure
the magic broadcasters said the sixers made a mistake taking iguodala instead of jameer nelson
wow
speights is playing quality d tonight (well at least better than would expect)
heheh... this place is dead.
I;ve done no more than check in at commericals. seems others arent even doing that.
one good thing
looks like lou will aint giving up like the rest of the starters and who would have thought in his first game starting have 0 turnovers, can we start to talk about sammy being benched in favor of speights yet (this statement is based solely on the box score outdates dont get the game where i am)
Is this worth recording or forgetabboutit?
Nice box score contributions from Speights and Lou but looks ugly elsewhere.

Recap is up.
The Sixers, me, the people on the blog, all zombie-walked during the second half. My advice: get Tommy Lee Jones to flash you with one of these.
