Sorry I'm posting this a little late but after Philadelphias first half I had to. I have been pretty impressed so far. Iggy has been aggresive on offense and has 12 points at the end of the half which has been a nice suprise. Dalemburt has also had a pretty good game so far. His PF aren't too bad and he has 3 stls and 2 blocks at the half. No goaltends or turnovers yet either. Of course Allen iverson is scoring as always. The only main problem with him so far is he has already has 5 turnovers lol . it has been a good game for Philly so far and they lead Atlanta 49-35 at the half.
I agree... good game so far. I can live with Allen's turnover simply because of what type of turnovers they were. One was a palming violation, and then two more of them were when he was trying to set up a teammate and the ball just seemed to slip out of his hands a little.Iguodala has been aggressive, as you mentioned, which is definitely a big plus. Hopefully it continues...Dalembert has also been playing well, and hasn't committed many boneheaded plays yet.Webber just seems out of it, and just doesn't seem to fit in with this squad. Maybe it's his age catching up to him, maybe it's his knees, or maybe he just doesn't care, but I haven't seen anything different from him than I saw last year. Horrible shooting percentage again...Our defense looked very good in the first quarter, with shades of the defensive intensity from back in 2001... or as close as we could possibly get to that intensity. Then in the second quarter we just couldn't do much defensively, but we got stops and/or forced turnovers whenever Atlanta began making a run.So far I'm happy, but remember we blew a lead in the fourth in our season opener last year against Milwaukee, as well as countless times throughout the year. We need to continue playing solid defense, keep running at every opportunity, and close this game out down the stretch.

I'm happy with the 7 rebounds by halftime but his shooting has been horrible. His shot selection hasn't been great and he doesn't look like he's really caring at all out there when he has the ball. It'll be interesting to see how he plays in the next few games.
Well..It hasent been pretty..Nobody has shot the ball well, except Joe Johnson..Childress must have taken about 10 shots on put backs, he has 10 rebounds because he missed 75% of the put backs..lol..Claxton has done nothing at all, Josh Smith is playing good on D, but he needs to just take it to the rim, and get some points to get his confidence up..Shelden and Solomon Jones look good..Jones is an athletic FREAK. No doubt about it..Zaza is playing good, but he needs to make smarter passes, and take care of the ball..Well I'm not expecting a win, but we need to try to impliment some type of offense because this is not getting it done
