The team is also 5th in free throw shooting at 81.1 percent and fifth in steals at 9.3 steals a game. The team also is pulling down 5.3 more rebounds a game than their opponents, which ranks them 3rd in the league in this category. I expect the field goal percentage to dip some, but I think the 3's will probably remain about the same. I actually think the team could stay near its free throw percentage, increase its number of steals a game (especially if Holiday starts getting regular burn) and that the rebound differential will increase if Brand actually plays better and Sammy has a stretch when he isn't fouling out. With Smith, Carney & Kapono, this team should be better shooting the 3-ball this year. And boy, sending Reggie Evans north has done wonders for this team's team free throw shooting percentages. Interesting to see who comes to play tonight among our youngsters. And for is1531, the over or under on how many times Brand will get his shot blocked tonight. I say that he will get it blocked 4 times tonight. |

If his shot is blocked and we retain posession I am okay with getting another shot at scoring. However if he is stripped 3 or 4 times and it leads to easy hoops, I will not be happy. It would be an adrenalin win for the 76ers, if they could pummel Boston into the ground. It would definitely help their ticket sales for the next few games. I want to see the 76ers bench emulate what the Kings bench did to Memphis last night. I want all my bench players producing tonight. Earn your pay BENCH PLAYERS,lol. After the 76ers game tonight I will watch the Lakers vs Hawks.is1531

| I want the 76ers to pull the upset, but our bench must come up big in this game. I would love to see Thaddeus be the difference maker with 30. I am sorry, I was dreaming. Go 76ers! is1531 |

HOW ARE THEIR PERCENTAGES NOW FOOL? First game against a real defense and your Sixers have been exposed. Why can't Philly Phans ever keep anything in perspective? KNICKS , BUCKS, MAGIC, those teams HATE defense bro. come on, you're better than that... i think.
BOSTON made PHILTHY look like grade school kids playing against the FACULTY. |

Dude, I don't know you and I'm nobody's fool, but the 76ers got their aarrss handed to them, just like I predicted. 1 for 16 from three is terrible. Allowing two good teams like the Celtics and Magic to shoot 60 percent from three is terrible. They're just not on their level, and the team's highest paid player is a shell of his former self. Still, I think this team will be better than last year, but that doesn't mean much because you can't play with the big boys. And by the way, I wish I did know you so that you could call me a fool in person. I doubt that you would, but I have seen people do stupider things, like your post for instance. |

| Rod needs a CHANCE to Play to have a shot. |

| TRUE and Rod need a chance. Willie & Royal do not! Simple, really |

| Jordan has given Carney some run these past two games, but he hasn't done much with it. Let's hopes Jrue's minutes last night was a sign of things to come. Our O flows better when he's in the game because he usually gets the ball to people in the spots that they can do something with it, like a real PG usually does. |

TRUE is quick and long. Rod needs more than 5 mins. to have a chance to get in the flow! Rod is quick & long, too; both can play D
____ OT - re: the other thread, in the P.ton, the C funnels the ball out in the O; so, if SD is going to be that funnel, I'd rather EB get his touches there at the 5. That said, I'd rather he not play PERIOD, because at least Sam boards and blocks shots |
