Final Score: Sixers 101 Wizards 96

A nice exciting comeback win for the squad tonight!

Tonight the Sixers got a healthy dose of action from their young players. Thaddeus Young had a breakout game, scoring 17 points and pulling down 9 boards in another starting role with 33+ minutes.
Andre Miller distributed the ball well in his 30 minutes of play, with 11 points and 14 assists. Rodney Carney also played a spirited game with the stat chart reading 16 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 steals in just 22 minutes played. He really hustled on defense and gave the team a much needed jump start in the
4th quarter, helping to facilitate the comeback win.

Note the minutes played by the youngsters tonight:
T.Young 33:53
L.Williams 23:40
R.Carney 22:39
J.Smith 17:00
R.Evans 15:04

Thats exactly what we need to see more of this season.

I wonder if they ever think about playing with intensity for the whole game?

Thaddeus played great defense on Jamison as well. I was big on the kid in the draft but I had no idea he'd be this willing and able on the defensive end.

If Carney can keep this up, I wouldn't be shocked if he logs some starts before the season is over.

Yeah, Ive got to say that Thaddeus Young is really surprising. Being 19, and understanding the importance of D'ing up and hitting the boards, and then also being able to *actually* execute, is amazing. Sixers look like they made a terrific pick. I'll be honest, I was one who raised an eyebrow at the pick, and I admit to being a fool.

I still dont like Carney's approach on offense (he always seems like he's rushing himself on Offense), but I cant deny his intensity lately. He's playing more agressive all around.

I really like young he has a bright future. But i still hope we miss the playoffs we need that lottery pick.

The team can't keep it up because they have no half court offense, aren't a very good jump shooting team, and they suck from the perimeter.

i agree about young. He's already much better than I thought he would be.
