The game is on ESPN2 right now. So far it looks like Iguodala will be playing more point guard this season than ever. He's been the main man running the show for us. Iggy just throw down a nice dunk as I speak off a give and go with starter Bobby Jones. Bottom line, Iguodala looks very impressive thus far playing the point.
76ers defense is terrible thus far. The Suns are coming into the paint way too easily. Thank God Iverson is taking care of the scoring load or else they would have been in much more trouble. Marion and Nash have also formed a nice 1-2 punch. Anyway, they need to stop penetration and lock down the interior; getting inside the paint is the best way to collapse a defense.
Honestly I don't think we look that bad early. Our poor defense is most likely a product of the Suns having the highest scoring offense in the league. I like what Mo is doing with Iggy, playing him at the point more. Though I haven't seen Carney yet it looks like Bobby Jones might turn out to be a steal. Iverson looks great, Webber looks quicker to me for some reason.

When a player gets into the paint, they just kick it out to someone who is open on the wing. That's why the Suns are shooting 8-18 from behind the arc. Iverson is really keeping them in the game; the Suns were getting ready to pull away with a 14 point lead before AI it that buzzer beater.

Carney only played like 5 minutes though. Nice run the 76ers are putting together without Iverson. Granted, Nash isn't playing either, but it's a valiant effort, especially after being down by as much as 22.
All of the sixers fans have gotta be encouraged about carney. Nice pick to help build the Philly bench. GL Philly!
Kind of weird. I came back from school at around 3:00 thinking that I need to make a game preview. Then I find out that the game has already been played! Pretty weird. My TV schedule says that the 76ers and Suns preseason game will start at 6:00pm on ESPN2.........I guess it's the location
awsome game. except the sixers perimeter d was terrible. way too many wide open 3s. I think dalembert is going to have a huge season. he didnt play too much today but i think he had like 3 blocks and a couple rebounds in limited minutes. carney also had an awsome game, great huslte. i think the sixers will have a much better supporting cast for iverson offensively, there defense is still a question though.

Sweet jumper by Carney. Sixers didn't play well, but still won. A win is a win, so it really doesnt matter, but that was a good shot by Carney.
