Game starts in a couple of minutes. Anyways, it'll be interesting to see how well the Lakers respond after yesterday's disappointing loss. The Sixers, although they've been struggling so far this season, are still a very talented basketball team. Hopefully our front court will be able to contain Elton Brand and Samuel Dalembert, and BOX OUT and get REBOUNDS. I expect nothing less than 110% effort and a win today. The Lakers better not prove me wrong.
The Philly guards in general were running a clinic on us. I saw Miller, Iguodala, Williams, and Young all score on us, be it jumpers or long off. boards. Our team is horrible at getting long off. boards and that responsibility falls on the guards to ALSO box out, don't leave it just for the big men, it's a team effort. Even though we won, I'm still not pleased. Our defense has really taken a step back as of late.
I'm a bit worried about Kobe's 3-point shooting. Maybe the pinkie finally got him there for some reason? Not that I'd pick against us or anything but I'm wondering if anyone has any further thoughts on this.
