Suns offense is dangerous. When they are clicking, they have so many weapons and their athleticism becomes a problem due to the playmaking ability of Nash and Johnson. It's scary.

This looks bad. How's Dalembert doing?

One on one, even one on two, when the guy they call the Answer is on a one-way trip to the basket, you better just foul him. People can hate all day about the number of shot attempts. But, damn, give him props for even getting them up. He's small enough to have every shot contested. That 39% shooting sounds terrible to the regular reader, but have you seen these NBA players lately?"

Okay, I'll say it the Sixers need to trade Robinson to try and acquiring a guy who can rebound, I don't care if that's all he can do, that's what the team needs, badly. Williamson obviously isn't that guy.
I'm liking Willie Green (prior to that terrible pass he threw to Iguodala that resulted in another turnover) he's always on the attack, that hook over Voskuhl was a thing of beauty.
Kenny Thomas rebounds an Iverson miss, and scores on a layup. 35-29 Suns lead, 8:31 left in the second quarter.

Not really doing anything to stand out really, guys missed him on two alley-oop attempts, he had a terrible pass that went out of bounds past half court.
Amare is dunking on anyone, I swear if you put Gandhi out there Stoudemire would dunk on him too, and the Sixers are letting him gain steam. Marc Jackson is not the guy I want on Stoudemire, if I had to pick a poison I'd go with Skinner instead because at least you know he'll get some rebounds, and he'll battle, just don't try and setup the offense through him.

I continue to be impressed by the Suns. The ball movement is good, the shooters are taking intelligent shots, they're playing like a team, Amare is playing very well inside, and even Jackson Vroman and Jake Voskuhl are holding their own down low. What's impressed me most so far though is the Suns defense. I expected them to be one of the best offensive teams in the league, which they are, but one of the worst defensive teams in the league, which so far they're not. Marion's played excellent defense as usual, I swear he has the best hands in the league. I'm confident in my prediction of Phoenix winning their division this year with them playing so well and L.A. and Sacramento not looking too great.

45-31 after a Stoudemire jumpshot. Steve Nash in a crowd finds Stoudemire who's shot is blocked by Kenny Thomas but he's fouled, a good foul, Amare makes one of two 46-31 Suns.
5:15 left in the half.
Skinner makes his first appearance in the game.

Ugh.. this is getting embarrasing. I still believe the Sixers are a good team, but the Suns might just be one of the best in the league, and the talent disparity is obvious. They are taking us behind the woodshed, and there's nothing we can do about it.
Watching so far, I have to say the Sixers are missing John Salmons, he would've been extremely valuable against the Suns backcourt.

Looks like we aren't that bad of a defensive team huh?
49-33 Refs have been pretty bad on the Suns though. 
Why the hell did they call that on Nash? It should have been on Iverson. |

This is some of the best basketball I have seen in the NBA by the Suns of course.
56-35

Another turnover. 16 in the first half.
Also Steve Nash is the human headache, you think you have him but then he finds a crease and either gets through or fits the ball through to a teammate for an easy basket.

Weird at the same time this is some of the worst I've seen by the Sixers (well outside that Boston game last year) I can live with turnovers caused by the defense, but in this game so many TOs aren't forced. And the defense has been pretty lax.
When Obie goes in at half and goes over the video, I hope he puts more importance into defending the perimeter. They are currently 6-13 from beyond.

Check that.. O'Brien's going to have to put some emphasis on the team playing defense. I thought there was going to be some carry-over from the fourth quarter in Boston.
Willie Green drains the three from behind, 59-42 Suns. And then the Suns hit a three themselves, Shawn Marion, 62-42.

Kyle Korver with two consecutive tremendous defensive plays. On one possession he d'ed up Joe Johnson, sensed him going back to the right and stole the ball, then he fouled QUentin Richardson preventing an easy alley-oop.
If the Sixers want to win this, they can't sit Willie Green for long, and just as I typed that they bring in Aaron McKie.
