BBBAAACCCKKK!!!

I will first start off by apologizing to the millions of readers who missed my coverage of the first couple games. I was all in Phillies mode the past couple weeks and it turned out to be quite the ride. Oh wait, a million people out there weren't dying to hear about the Sixers? Well guess what, I'm still going to cover them!

Last night I attended my first game this season and it felt as if I made up about 30% of the crowd myself. Sad but can't say it is surprising. Philly fans will come around when the team starts separating themselves in the East and has the look of a real winner. People are content for now to keep celebrating the Phillies and I can't blame them.

Anyway, last night the Sixers did the most obvious thing ever and crushed the Kings at home. The Kings are an awful team that has had to start the season with a road trip and have been getting continuously crushed. So I won't put much stock in this victory but I will note some standouts from it. Number one, pay attention to the picture on the right because you're going to be seeing a lot of him on this blog. Thad Young is going to play a vital role in the Sixers' success this season and he seems more than ready for the task. He is just progressing extremely fast and doing many things to contribute already. Last night, the 3-pt shooting opened up and our big shooting signees, Kareem Rush and Donyell Marshall, lit it up. Nice to see we can pull some shooters off the bench to stretch the defense and inject some quick offense. I'm liking the low presence of Elton Brand (that SUCH a surprise right?;) and I'm liking the role of Lou Williams as well. Iguodala isn't doing anything noteworthy yet but he seems to be playing in the system. That's fine until we need him to shine in game such as the loss against the Hawks. Regardless, the team is 2-2 and seeming to sort out some things in regards to chemistry right now. Hopefully that's taken care of quickly and we can get rolling. I'm excited about the prospects.
