Philadelphia @ Indiana
Quote:
Allen Iverson and the Philadelphia 76ers look to continue their best start in six seasons when they visit the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday night.
Iverson has averaged 34.0 points in leading Philadelphia to its first 3-0 start since it went a franchise-best 10-0 in 2000-01 - a season that ended with the Sixers in the NBA Finals.
The quick start is a bit of a surprise, as some observers didn't pick the 76ers to be a playoff contender before the season.
``We played three games,'' Philadelphia coach Maurice Cheeks said. ``We won three games so you know that has to be exciting for us. Our whole focus is to continue trying to get better.''
Iverson has shown little sign of slowing down in his 11th season with sensational play in the early going. In addition to his scoring, he's increased his assist total in every game, handing out 13 in a 107-98 victory over Miami on Sunday.
The star guard cited several reasons for the 76ers' strong start.
``Believing in each other,'' he said. ``Being able to get the ball in guys' hands and making things happen and playing defense. We have been making stops when we need stops the most, especially down the stretch of games. We have been scoring the basketball when we need to.''
Another factor has been the strong play of reserve forward Kyle Korver, who's averaging 25.0 points on 68 percent shooting in the last two games for the 76ers, the only unbeaten team in the Eastern Conference.
``I've been getting open,'' Korver said. ``A lot of that is the guys are setting great screens and Allen is looking for me. I've been able to get a good rhythm, hit my first couple shots the last couple games and that (has built) my confidence.''
The Sixers have been winning despite getting a minimal contribution from power forward Chris Webber, who's averaging 9.7 points on 34 percent shooting.
Webber has faced tough matchups in each of the last two games in Orlando's Dwight Howard and Miami's Udonis Haslem, and he'll face another difficult task in defending Indiana's Jermaine O'Neal. The Pacers star is off to a solid start, averaging 20.7 points on 52 percent shooting through three games.

Re: Philadelphia @ Indiana
They'll win.
I hope Webber continues his improved one-on-one post defense.
as well as the team defense from the Sixers as well.

YAY. Hopefully were gonna have another on our side of the fence 
But on the real I expect us to have a good shot in this game, AI has some of his best games against Indy and they usually come against them on the road. Im looking forward to a great back and forth game here.

Re: Philadelphia @ Indiana
5:22 1st
12 - 13 Pacers
Webber to the line after the commercial break. Man the Sixers offense just looks way better than last year. These guys move as a unit instead of a 2 man show. I know we was mad at Ollie running the point before the season but it looks like we are more balanced that way. Webber is looking good so far

Re: Philadelphia @ Indiana
2:07 1st
17 - 17
Should have had the lead but A.I. tries an alley hoop instead of going for the lay-up or passing it off to C-dub. Other than that....Good Defense and Offense...This will be a good one  |
