Once Again, Nice Weekend

The Sixers had a nice weekend for the second time in a row, adding two more wins. They have now won 5 of their last 6 and are 5-1 on weekend games. Very nice game on Friday with Elton Brand hitting the game winning shot against his former team. Yesterday, the Sixers sustained a run by the Warriors in the 4th quarter and pulled away to win it. Nice to see their confidence down the stretch of the game and their ability to close out wins. They are settling into their game style recently in that they are now have the league's second highest fastbreak points per game. Another element that is nice to see is the fact that Reggie Evans is indeed comfortable with his role these days. This is evidenced by his leading the league in rebounds per 48 minutes statistic. This is much more like the Evans we know. He simply was not meant to play the amount of minutes he did last year. Now, he is out there to pull down rebounds and maintain intensity while Brand/Young/Dalembert take a break. Couple of big 3-pointers from a very unlikely source in these games....Andre Miller! I don't think he even left the floor or got any arc on them but they still count for 3 big points in both games. Would be nice to get a win in Charlotte tonight. This is a possible trap game for the Sixers in that they are playing away on the second night of a back to back against a poor team. Just need to bear down and take care of business because the week does not get any easier.
