Was able to nab some seats right at the backboard, about 5 rows back, on the end where the Sixers shot in the first half.
Not much I saw that isn’t mentioned here. It was really nice to get off of that losing schneid, we saw a bit too much of Royal Ivey, and the jumpers were falling tonight. Some good D, especially from Jrue. The kid is SO FAST when it comes to staying in front of an opposing guard. Really enjoyed watching him. Also, Anthony Randolph is a wonder to watch in person. He is really, really long. His arms have got to be about 10 feet long. It’s ridiculous how high he jumps and how far he can reach.
I also loved Iguodala letting Jrue have the uncontested slam on the transition turnover in the third or fourth or whenever it was. That was a nice touch.
The offense looked smooth tonight, but I think it was a lot more the Warriors really sucking than the Sixers not sucking. Either way, though, it was a lot of fun to be there, and it was nice to get a win.

solid game cause we had an actual point running the offense. the guy thinks and plays like a point gaurd pass first set up the team get the ball to the open guy he did that every time he gets significant mins jrue should start and let him have his lumps the kid will be a beast if not miss handled

Sammy loves AI, and iverson makes it a point to try and get him involved in the game. Also, contrary to popular belief, AI through out his career improved his teammates efficiency, with the exception of last year. Finally on the point skeptic made about Iggy not having the feel for when someone else is in the zone, i completely agree. But the reason he doesnt pass it i dont think has as much to do with the fact that he doesnt realize when people are hot, as he would rather just chuck up the shot himself. His ego is bigger than i thought it was and i think he honestly gets jealous when someone else does better than him on a given night.. He was desperately trying to score more points last night, it was pathetic.

Proving that Sammy loves AI shouldnt be very difficult to find out. And about making players more efficient, When AI was in Denver, JR Smith, Carmelo Anthony, eduardo najera, Anthony Carter, Linas Kleiza had the most efficient years of their careers. (not counting this young season) And Kenyon Martin had his most efficient year as a nugget in 2007-2008. So essentialy their entire team (who played serious minutes) had some of their most productive years playing along side AI. All this information can be found at 82games.com. If you wanna look up anything older than that you can do it yourself

All i said was Sammy really likes AI, i dont know why you have such a problem with that statement. I didnt name any other players loving AI. But Sam has been pretty forthcoming about his feeling toward AI. Second if you dont believe me about those players having some of their best seasons along side AI than you can look it up. I stand by everyname i just wrote and am not “just spouting out names.” I have looked it all up before, and dont feel like doing something for you, that you could do yourself. It takes time looking through all those players and getting all the numbers. Again if you dont believe than i really couldnt care less. the whole point was that there is this belief that Iverson doesnt make his teammates better and that is simply not true.

when you say that all teams are better without him, you are not telling the whole story. Last year in detroit was a total disaster on all acounts and was far from his fault. Just look at their team this year. on pace for a similar finish as last. the fact that you brought up memphis is ridiculous. He played there 3 games while getting very limited minutes. Denver was not even the same team when AI left. Yes they got chauncey (a true point guard they desperately needed) and didnt have to rely on Anthony Carter so hard like they did the year before. They also added Chris Anderson, Dahntay Jones, and most importantly had a healthy NENE. two defensive players and a low post presence they desperately needed the year before. It is very decieving just to say AI left and they magically got better. What you would be insinuating is, on Denver they just got rid of AI got nothing in return, added no new pieces and just got better.

And just a quick glance JR Smith, Linas Kleiza, Kenyon Martin, Carmelo Anthony, and Anthony Carter FG% dropped with the departure of AI. Meaning he got them easier looks, making them more efficient.

i guess a bad FG % means that you are better offensively and more efficient with your offensive game????

according to you, allen iverson has never made players better through out his career. you believe he is just a selfish prick that doesnt care about winning, only his personal stats. how old are you by the way? clearly you have not watched him through out his career, all the guy wants to do is win. lay off. who is your butt buddy player that you feel so strongly that is different? Kobe Bryant? the guy has been blessed through out his career with amazing talet, and the two years he didnt they never made it out of the first round. Allen iverson was very loyal to the 76ers despite the garbage they put him with. the guy has done more for this franchise than anybody in the last 35 years, give the man some credit.

I will be at tonights game with Cleveland. I’d love to see Speights if he can go. I think he is the key to the Sixers season. With him, the Sixers will have the rebounding and offensive ability to go inside against Shaq and Varejao. No one’s going to rush him back before he’s ready.

His defense and rebounding have improved considerably just before he went out. Not that he’s a world class defender or anything like that, but he has learned to move his feet, has good instincts for blocking shots. On the other hand, he’s easily faked out, and still makes reach-in fouls. But these are things you expect from a young player, that you hope will learn.

I don’t think Speights will play unless he feels good. Why should he worry about saving Eddie Jordan’s job. A good coach might even have him and Brand starting!
