Belive it or not, but your One...Two...Three...Four...Five....Sixers have won 2 straight!!! In case you were too caught up in the holiday season, they beat up on the Knicks last night, 98-77.
After one game together, it is quite apparent that with Andre Miller and Joe Smith on board, you cannot stop this team...you can only hope to contain them. I'm convinced that as a result of the AI trade, Billy King may be canonized out in front of the Wachovia Center.
Ok, I might be getting a little ahead of myself, but seriously, a true point guard sure makes a difference. I only watched about five minutes a game, but Andre Miller's court awareness sure seems to open things up for Iggy, C Webb and the rest of the crew. Plus, these guys aren't such bad shooters when they can get open looks....Who knew?? Anyhow, I'm always a bit skeptical though, so we'll how long this lasts.

On the lottery pick front, I watched bits of the Ohio St./Florida game yesterday, which featured OSU's Greg Oden, of course, but also Florida big men Joakim Noah and Al Horford. Florida pretty much laid the wood to the Buckeyes, 86-60. It was pretty easy to see why the whole world is in love with Oden, but he was tired out by the Florida big men duo and in foul trouble most of the second half. However, I was once again pretty impressed with Florida's Noah and Horford. Noah is so "long" and active on both ends of the floor. He brings a great intensity and infectious enthusiasm to the game. Nevertheless, Horford seems to have a greater "upside potential" compared to Noah.
Honestly, I'd be ecstatic to end up with any of these three guys. I just hope that the addition of Andre Miller doesn't help the Sixers win too many games and take us out of contention for the number one pick. Who are we kidding though, that is exactly how this is going to play out. It would be too "unPhilly-like" for any other result.
