If anybody has NBATV, and wants to watch the Sixers (and their supposedly improved defense, but I doubt it) play Barcelona, the game will be televised on NBATV today at 3 PM EST. All three of the Sixers' exhibition games in Europe will be televised.
Damn I would've watched it except I was at school. Why couldn't it have been on at 3 PST. BigMo do you know how they did?

But the only stat they have is Dalembert's 21 poits and 10 rebounds.
I saw the 2nd, and 3rd quarter. Some things I noted:Webber played well, he hit on a couple of jump shots, and even had some nice assistsDalembert played great. He was aggressive in the paint offensively, drew fouls, rebounded, and blocked shotsI liked what I saw from McFarlin. He hustled every minute he was on the court. He was able to score on a few occasions as well.
Dalembert: 21 points, 10 rebounds, 7 blocks... but like I told melo061, when the regular season starts those 7 blocks will turn into a combination of 7 goaltends and fouls.I'm not surprised at the loss, though. I didn't watch the game (stupid philosophy mid-term), but from what I've heard our defense has improved... but I'll believe it when I see it.
Actually, there were alot of perimeter defensive breakdowns from that game. The Barcelona team to their credit though, were great at working the ball around for the open shot.

The homepage has two different scores for the game. Anyone know which is right? This is a bit embarassing, but it is only a preseason game, it isn't like they had every starter playing their hardest.
yeah, I didnt get the sense that AI was trying his hardest. He didnt try to take over like he does in most regular season games. He hit on a couple of jump shots, but he didnttry to cross over his defenders, or take it to the rack.

It's only pre-season so whatever.
It didnt look like AI really cared. Honestly, if this game really mattered to him, he would have turned it on and gave you guys the victory.
