Roger Mason gets a quick layup. The ball is inbounded to Josh Davis, who passes to Kevin Ollie. Ollie is immediatley fouled, goes to the line and hits one of two.

Bonner got the rebound, Raptors call time-out.

Ball is inbounded to Pape Sow, he posts up John Salmons, Salmons blocks the shot but comes away with the foul sending Pape Sow to the line.

99-97 Sixers with 2.3 left.

Pape Sow misses the first.

After purposely missing the second, the game is over.

I'm going to watch this game later tonight, and should have a more throughout breakdown of things.

Didn't you just watch it while bringing the PBP here?

Yeah, but I want to watch it again. Since when I was doing this my full attention wasn't on the game. And I missed the first five minutes of the game because I was getting home from work.

It's only the second preseason game, but I have to say out of the young guys the Sixers are basing their future on, the most dissapointing so far has to be Willie Green.

Hopefully this is just a slump, and not the player we're going to have to see the whole season. If it is, it's going to mean playing time for McKie or Salmons, but with McKie being McKie.. I'm hoping it's more time for Salmons.

To be honest, I'm not that worried since I've always felt that Iguodala is better than Green, and should start. Though I'm fine with Green a starter and Iguodala a spark of the bench.

Overall, just judging by the box score, this seemed like a very good game. Iverson with efficient scoring, Dalembert with a double-double and 5 blocks, Iguodala with flawless scoring off the bench.

Sixers 2-0 in preseason! Woohoo!!

Considering most of our runs are happening against reserves, I'm a tad worried. There's some things on this team that has me scared, honestly, we have players in places who can play, and others who need to be covered up a lot. I'll bring up the negatives here, since I've been plenty positive in this post.

I'm still in the process of re-watching the game, but I had to come out and make comments.

1.)Aaron McKie starting is not going to cut it. He's old, and at this point of his career he can't do many things on the court, he's an absolute liability on defense no matter where you're playing him.

2.)Corliss Williamson can't defend fours, or threes, his strongpoint is posting up smaller players, and he's only really capable of going to his right. He can hit an outside jumper, but it's not consistent enough to be something he looks for often.

3.)Glenn Robinson looks the same to me. Tip of the hat to RP McMurphy for calling bluff, while the rest of us hoped for the best. This is one game (that I saw) but he looked like the same player who needs the ball on offense to be effective, can't really dribble. He posted up successfully a few times, but it was against Jalen Rose, so I don't know what to say.

4.)Willie Green is having a tough time adapting to the new interpretations of the rules. He got away with a ton of contact last year when he was defended, and he got called for at least three of his four fouls while handchecking players, the other time was a silly reach in.

5.)Iverson's not going to be this efficient every game, the question is will he accept that? With Iverson if he's not efficient it's because he started off bad and he shot himself into a terrible night, and with O'Brien's license to shoot offense that is a scary proposition.

6.)Brian Skinner should always be a guy used to clean up around the basket and make his living off of putbacks. If you're passing the ball into him, to setup the three pointers, you're in trouble... sad part is that's the plan.

7.)Never play Ollie, McKie, Korver, Williamson, and Skinner on the court at the same time, that's no offense and no defense that's suicide.

I'll probably find more as I continue..

my 2 pennies:

-I was skeptical reading the glowing reports from Phillie fans about Dalembert. But dang. He is a monster at times. A.I. doesn't seem to have a problem feeding him either.

-but he does seem to have a problem feeding anyone else. Just one game and all, but I'd be a little worried he has no interest in retooling his style

-Glenn didn't do much, but he didn't play much either. And I doubt he really gets up for preseason anyways. Unless he's fighting for a spot, which I'm not sure of but doubt

-Igoudala is going to be a great 'glue' guy, even if he never turns into a consistent scorer. Which he might obviously. Just sayin that his 'bust' potential is almost nil. Guy is going to be at the very worse a usefull player.

-Obrien still looks funny standing on the Phillie bench. Not sure why.

-he's kinda famous for come from behind wins. Which you guys pulled off.

-Toronto posters are sayin Obrien looked like he was trying to win the game, where Mitchell wasn't. I didn't notice really, but maybe. Either way it's ALWAYS a comraderie builder when you come from behind. So it might actually be a mildly important victory for you guys.

just hope Allen doesn't forget some of your young guys can play

Nice to see Dalemberts 10-11-5 line. That guy is a beast!

thanks philly for the updates and the resume of the game .
then dalembert is a asewome guy and i really hope in the season he will have more minuts ,iverson was great today good shooting , 4or 5 assits its not the best but not the worst too .
iguodala playing good lets see hoe he play with more minuts and glenn robinson like last year for what i read -remenber when all sixers fans last year demand trade big dog?this year will be the same for big dog?i hope not for the good of the sixers.
korver impressed me in the defense steal and make blocks really good .
we have a long work to do till the season start because we are winning the games but with very dificult using very minuts the starts and the others teams are using the substituts most part of the time like toronto did last night .

I have a feeling that Iggy will not get the playing time he deserves, simply because he's a rookie. Towards the end of the year look for him to go Marquis Daniels on everyones ***

It's worrying how philly look like they were going for the win. Its preseason, give the young guys a chance

A win is always good for morale no matter how unimportant it is.

Iguodala is a player who makes things happen on defense, makes it extremely hard for the player he's defending to do anything, and he creates plays on the break on offense. At the same time, even last night he looked to be out of control at points with his four turnovers. He's great source of energy for the team, but right now his minutes should be scaled back.
