Pierce is pretty good defensively though. dssuede: Garnett looks good only half the time, Rondo takes shooting lessons from Reggie Evans, Ray Allen is a diplodocus, and Perkins’ act seems to have grown old – refs are calling it much more.

With our habit of going small it was interesting to see the lineup P. Westphal went with against the Knicks small ball last night, nobody smaller than 6!6" in the starting group. Pete, your boy D. Cunningham is getting minutes with Outlaw out and had a nice game last night. Interesting p.g. matchup last night with Collison getting the better of Jennings.

Thad? (knock on wood) i hardly believe the Sixers are gonna shoot 60% from the 3pt land in their next game, so just bcos they had a good shooting night and almost beat Boston in impressive fashion doesnt mean they will be able to topple Atlanta (which is playing very well by the way). I have a feeling they are thinking <strong>just</strong> that. very sixer-ish for anyone still hung up over the Boston game; we lost once Thad, Jrue and Dala combined to miss 3 of 6 FTs. no chance after that. it took Lou Williams getting injured to get me re-interested in the Sixers. pity he had been playing better of late. i just had to seee the Holiday start.

He's a 19 year old rookie. He's going to make these mistakes, including the turnovers. This was a great experience for him; he can defend, he will definitely need to develop a  consistent jumper, but he has good court awareness, is pass first and rebounds well for a point guard. Eddie S better realize that he is going to have to move that punk Andre or Thad next year so the real Jrue and Lou show can go down! That's the backcourt we should be running because Lou is shoot first and can't defend me, but together there's some promise. Yawl need to lighten up on Jrue. He’s a 19 year old rookie.

He seemed to play good team defense and for the most part I was pleased.

When you aren’t a contending team player development becomes priority.

It would put people in the seats no doubt about it.

Would definitely put bodies in the seats, and improve the team. Now granted this team isn't exactly good, and even Iverson of old probably won't turn this team around on his own but why not? You get him for the veteran's minimum? I personally never really liked A.I but I do see what he could do for the Sixers.
