    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Kyle Korver's role has changed. The big 3-pointers he has a timely knack of hitting have stayed the same.

    The near-perfect sharpshooter used his 3s to help bump Philadelphia to an even bigger 3: 3-0 for the first time in six seasons.

    Allen Iverson scored 31 points and had 13 assists, and Korver scored 13 of his 22 points in the third quarter to lead the 76ers to a 107-98 win over the Miami Heat on Sunday.

    Andre Iguodala scored 20 points for the surprising Sixers, who are the only undefeated team in the Eastern Conference.</div>

    Tough way to start to season. I would of liked to seen the Heat win today for more reason than usual because we were facing one of the bottom feeders of the league without Shaq.

    Zo seemed to be a non-factor filling in for Shaq, with 0 blocks and 5 PF's in 15 minutes.

    On the bright side, Wright dropped 15 on 5-7 shooting with 9 boards and 2 steals in 30 minutes of play. Seems like this is the year that Dorrell plays contributes if he can stay healthy.

    Allen Iverson had a monster game. Those are unbelievable stats.

    Shaq is not the primary reason this loss happened. I did not watch the game, but with Shaq providing numbers like 7 points and 6 rebounds, it doesn't seem like he's doing all that much anyway. However, I am sure his prescence would have effected the game, but since it was Kyle Korver's shooting that defined this game for Philly, I can go out on a limb and say that Shaq being there wouldn't have effected Korver's outside shot.
