Coaches: Maurice cheeks 3-3 Larry Brown 1-1 (Didn't coach last game)

Analysis:

Coaching Battle: Maurice Cheeks figured this team out, if not the league, running a trapping defense, that ultimately has worked against all 6 teams in the pre-season thus far, why if the 76ers learned some fourth quarter Consistancy there is a chance there'd be more talk then there is now. Larry Brown has his mouth open, Herb Williams the leading assistant coach, purely sucks, and his team isn't that much better, he knows the game more then anyone and can without a doubt lead this team closer to the 76ers level, but even he knows when the opposition is clearly Better and Maurice Cheeks will win this battle.

Center Battle: C-Steven Hunter is strong fast to the hoop and if he plays along side dalembert will allow this team to run and gun, for now, he'll try to do what Daly did in 2003, Roam the post and block shots, he done well so far almost averging 2 blocks a game and 7.2 ppg as well. However there is Center Eddy Curry, He's stronger, not too much faster, but again he can catch the ball and is more Athletic then Hunter, I'm not mad though, M-Jax would've been killed Hunter will lose this battle yes, but not before making Curry work for his money. For real I mean if he's a bust we know what LB will do.

Power Forward Battle: David Lee Vs Lee Nailon is really interesting it is, there the same whereever you look at them both, Their both 6'8 they both make plays, and at this time, they are clearly impressing the coaches. However Lee Nailon is experienced, And David Lee's defense needs work. In an offensive show-case match-up I'm favoring Nailon to win this one.....Again.

Small Forward Battle :Andre Iguoddala, Yes Remember him New York, he's the one that had Double figures, that sweet Toma-hawk early in the first, and The one who made Matt Barnes, look like Matt Barnes Maybe Jim O'Brien Sat a guy with actual sense. But Ariza like Lee will prove a difficult challenge for the 1 yr pro, Ariza has the ability to shoot the 18 footer with regularity can drive to the hoop on occasion, and like Iggy has some ups and downs defensively. But at the end of the Day Iggy has the better jump shot, he looks far stronger then Ariza so I don't see why Iggy won't take him to the post. And last but not least. that jump shot I fell in Love with it.

Shooting Guard Battle: Quentin Richardson vs Kyle Korver, Same old battle, Same old Shooters, same old situation. Many People believed Phoenix didn't contend for a championship. Many people have a wait and see situation for the 76ers last year as far as making the playoffs. Well Phoenix made the WCF And Philadelphia caught up with Detroit in the most amazing way possible. And if anything else this is a repeat year. No one expects the Knicks to make the playoffs for good reason, and because everyone is looking for the Name 'Lebron James' on the 76ers roster, everyone thinks they don't have depth. Well the Depth starts at this very battle for the 2 guard/forwards are very Similar they both go through screens and cuts with the best of them and shoot the three ball. They Both are 6'7, And They both have improved defensively. But Korver's stronger faster, and seems to get the hang of penertrating to the rack, Both of them will score there share of points, but in this battle defense wins the game, and if that's the case, Korver will win it.

Point Guard Battle: The 76ers contained Marbury NUFF Said, except that Iverson burned the Cavaliers for 33 pts.

Projected Final score: 76ers 120 Knicks 86
