2011-2012 Sixers Thread

lebron is better at scoring than anyone in the world is better at defending, so if he really wants 30, hes gonna get it.

the thing is how many shots does it take him to get the 30.

put your predictions down now...how does iggy play lebron

igy already told me today that iggy will hold lebron in check, under 15 points

i say lebron goes off in wade's absence, 30+

What Iguodala gives the Sixers is a player who can keep a guy like Lebron in check. 'In check' means he'll keep him from going crazy and do a good enough job on him one on one so that he doesn't single handedly take over the game and beat them. Collins doesn't have to worry about doubling up Lebron and leaving someone else open. You rarely if ever see someone rush to Iguodala's side to keep a player in check. That's part of what makes him such a good defender. If Lebron puts 30 up tonight so be it, he's going to get that anyway. At least the Sixers won't have to worry about a forward leaving the post or a guard leaving an outside shot open because they're too worried about defending Lebron. Star players usually get double teams during different parts of the game to throw off their rhythm.

With that being said I say he drops 28 tonight.

I think the Sixers play sluggish tonight and Lebron gets his first triple double of the season.

[reese125]

it would be really cool for someone to put even one finger up in bosh's face...just one.

[Hawk]

Lebron will get 21.

[SD]

Vucevic continues to impress. Such a better option than Battie at Center.

[reese125]

turner taking it right at battier tonight--playing with some great control

[Hawk]

Why was Turner on the bench the entire third quarter...

[reese125]

yeah that made no sense with the half he had--he was leading the team in scoring

but that boy just got abused by James 3 times in a row

[QB Eagles]

With that being said I say he drops 28 tonight.

Well done.

[MDS]

watching layoy allen try and defend the pick and roll on bosh was the highlight of my night

lol @ temple

[SunMo]

gotta give credit to igy because friday night we were talking about this game and he said what lebron does is irrelevent and that bosh is going to be the issue. 

the only guy they have who can come close to defending him is thad

[reese125]

Vucevic said he heard something pop when he got injured.

Probably why they worked out Francisco Elson today.

[ice grillin you]

iguodala has seven dimes and its still the 1st Q

[Hawk]

Wizards just played Boston tough and the sixers are waxing them.  Sixers are running away with the Atlantic.
