Oh dear. Why didnt you do something, Doc?
This is going to be a test. I know we are all really high on this team but until we prove otherwise, we are an inconsistent team (which is perfectly normal for a team learning the game). Philadelphia is more dangerous than you'd think, and they just came off a big win against Indiana, whom a few posters here want to give a championship to.
The real questions for me are
1) Can we stop Iverson? We let Nash tear us up for most of the Phoenix game, then let Parker tear us a new one and gave up open shots to McLeod and Williams. The Sixers, like the Suns depend on penetration from the best l'il penetrator in the East. Harris might get the call and we might see 6-10minutes from DA if our defense isnt good enough.
2) Will we get center play from our centers? Will Damp drop 14points, 26rebounds, 7blocks, 2assists, imposing his will against the skinnies or will he find himself outmatched in speed and sitting on the bench? Will Diop be able to play and/or be effective?
3) Can we keep a hand in Korver's face? Can we slow or match the athleticism of Iggi?
4) Will Dirk and KVH abuse Korver and Webber like a red-headed step-mule?
5) can we take care of these weak mo-fos without losing focus and letting them mount any sort of comeback?
Hunter is a rebounding liability. Both Korver and Webber are porous, immobile defenders. AI throws up junk if you pressure his teammates a little and keep him from laying it up every time. Iggi is still a little immature.
