Let The (Fake) Games Begin

The Sixers will lace 'em up tonight for the first preseason game tonight in Mass. against the Celtics. This game means nothing, the Sixers won't be showing off their new bag of tricks, the Celtics won't care, or an indication of how much the preseason means, check out this game.

I'm not sure if he game will be on my league pass, and I'm not sure I'd watch it anyway. Once the season gets started I'll be glued to my TV for 82 games (plus hopefully another 12 or more in the post season).

Hollinger has released his player forecasts for the coming season, here's my favorite quote from his Sixers coverage:

At either position, he promises to be hellaciously good in a couple of years, so it may just be a matter of exploiting the best match-up on a given night. Incidentally, everyone I've talked to about Young says he's got a great head on his shoulders and a strong work ethic, so that's another positive.
Yup, Hollinger has sipped the Thad Kool-Aid and he likes it. No injuries, Sixers. That's the only goal tonight.

Over/under for Willie Green's FGA tonight, 22.

Hi Brian,

That Thad flavored Kool-Aid is tasty. That is why everyone likes it. ;-)

On the more serious side, the youngsters got some minutes (Thad, Lou, Speights) and it seemed they made the most of their minutes. I think it is going to take Iggy, Brand and Miller a little longer to figure who is going to be where and who is taking the shots. Knock on wood, no injuries in this game.

just cheking in to make sure I am alive Brian

good game vs Celts I saw, let's hope the trend continues. positive signs from what I've read/seen about the preseason debut
