The Depthiest: Sixers Outlast Hawks Again Immediate Reaction Thread

I really didn’t think Dougie would trust Hawes and Vuce to be out there at the same time. Traditional coach speak: “Can’t have two slower bigs out there at the same time, blah blah…”

Doug went against the grain, and we held the lead at 20 with Wight and Vuce both out there. No offense to Lavoy who gives great effort and hustle, but I’d like to see that combo more often, especially against the Lakers when we have to hold off Bynum and Gasol.

…being a Total Temple Homer and all, but sometimes he reminds me of the Evolutionary Reggie Evans. A “lunchpail” guy. Although he does seem to have more of an offensive game, and less of a propensity to grab people’s nutsacks.

I’ve been real disappointed with Holiday this season. He looks to score first and pass second. Anyways, great game by ET after a bad game and hopefully Iggys all star effort gets recognized.

Another quality win, going on to a winning team’s home court and kicking their butts. Loved the combo of Hawes and Vucevic. Important to note they almost hit 100 without Elton Brand.

We could have learned a lot more about the team if Doug played our bigs yesterday, but I guess it’s just as well. We will have to wonder if the Sixers are good enough to win a title, but they now seem to have all the pieces.

I cant wait til we wipe Boston’s proverbial “face” up and down the floor. Weird they haven’t played each other yet.

Impressive bounce-back win after a tough loss yesterday. I love how resilient this team is – DC not only has them playing the right way, he seems to be doing a good job of keeping them focused on winning the next game. The Hawes/Vuce combo looked good and will be handy against teams with bigger front lines, and I’m more and more convinced that Lavoy Allen is a keeper. Right now I think the Sixers are arguably the 2nd best team in the conference, with only the Heat clearly being better than they are. Now they just need to figure out how to match up better with those guys.
