Pre-Season: Game 1
We're less than three hours away from catching our first glimpse of our Philadelphia 76ers in live game-action. Since pre-season wins and losses are no indication of whether either team is good or not (See: 2008 Detroit Lions), tonight's game will be more about individual performances than the outcome. Here are a couple of things to keep an eye on:
- The Princeton Offense: how much has Eddie implemented? Do the players look comfortable with what they've learned thus far? How much better will our offensive sets look as opposed to last year -- if any? Will it affect the Sixers fast break-machine?
- Lou Williams as the starting point guard: Has his shot improved? How much are we going to miss Andre Miller?
- Who's going to run the offense the majority of the time? Lou Williams, Andre Iguodala or a mix of everyone?
- How explosive is Elton Brand? Is he 100% healthy this time around?
- Jrue Holiday -- everything from playing time to defense.
- Does Jason Smith look fully recovered? Is he even better than he was before?
- How will our team look with a legitimate three-point threat on the floor? (Jason Kapono)
- Is Jason Kapono's defense really that bad?
- Has Andre Iguodala's shot improved?
- Is Marreese Speights going to play defense, rebound, and refrain from taking 20-footers every time he touches the ball?

A better one.
How much of the offense will run through Dalembert?

It's too bad Rodney Carney isn't playing.
For some reason I’m really excited about his return.
