Nuggets @ 76ers 3/19/08

[Swoll Cracker]

I'd like to see Smith get his fair share of minutes unless Evans is strong on the o-boards and the defense is causing a lot of turnovers. Otherwise with Sammy and Evans in, we play right into their strengths. Camby and Martin will be standing around the paint all night.

Ditto.

The Nuggets gave up the elbow jumper to MyDyess last night with regularity. The kind of shot Evans can't make and Smith can.

If the Sixers go big tonight (Iguodala at the 2 and Young at the 3), the Nuggets have absolutely noone who can guard Iguodala. Camby will need to help and Smith could keep him more honest than Evans.

I feel that this game could be decided by the bench players.....


Key matchups: Lou & Carney vs. LK43 & JR


Lou & Carney were HUGE for our last 3 wins; I just wonder if they'll do the same tonight. And if either Klezia or JR go cold, I think that the 6ers win. But if both are hot? It'd be really hard to tell, it's looking like a close one to the end....


My prediction: Sixers by 3.

[STChaser]

Sammy better watch out for AI. I have a feeling that they'll be some major acting going on in the paint tonight. I really hope that Lou returns the favor.

Sixers -1 tonight.

I'll give it.

[tk76]

I say Nuggets by 12.

I hope I'm wrong, but I don't like how our teams strengths and weaknesses match up with the Nuggets. If we win it will be because we are playing with some much effort and confidence that we overcome the match-up/stle issues that teams like Denver and GS present.

Im for Philly

thats the hardest ive seen iverson sweat ever! hes really worked up

[Shav]

Alright, prior to coming out for shoot around Iverson kissed the center court floor on the Sixers logo.

Crowd gave a much deserved load ~1 minute ovation to Iverson during player introductions.

Very tender... back to business

Wachovia floor has a wet spot at the top of the key...

Sweet delay of game

I'd like to see it.. hopefully they show it in highlights.

[GreenWithEnvy]

alright time to substitute Thad or JSmith for Reggie. Reggie is being a liability on defense now because hes not athletic enough to guard KMart.

[SendEm]

Checks in. Wow Iggy just made a left hand 3 pointer before the break...

[ITK9]

i missed the intro..pls guys tell the public reaction..

[sixers_610]

what a great ovation.. i got choked up there a little.

[sixers_610]

they just showed it on nba shootaround.

John Salmi needs to cease with calling Andre Miller "The best set up man in the business." Chris Paul, Deron Williams, and Steve Nash come before him EASILY....

[sixers_610]

Andre Miller might be the most underrated though

[GreenWithEnvy]

wow was that just a 28 point outburst in 5 minutes? they had 6 points for half the period!

[Cru Thik]

Iverson got a great ovation. He came out kissed the logo in the center of the court before intros. He got a standing ovation for about a min. I expected a MVP or Iverson chant to start up but it didn't just straight cheering. He did some bumps on his chest put his hand to his ear some clapping and air kisses. Didn't seem to be any boos from what I could tell wish I could have been there.

I expected much more reaction towards him each time he has had the ball but there hasn't been much at all. I remember being there for MJ's last game in Philly and we were cheering like every time he had the ball lol.

No doubt about it.
