Sixers Talk / Sixers vs. New York Knicks

I was able to attend the Sixers game last night. This was the second game of back to back
between the Knicks and Sixers. The Knicks control the first game in New York and won
easily.
The Sixers came out strong and took the early lead last night. Then Carmelo Anthony started
to heat up. He was able to get his shot at will against the defense and draw double teams.
The Knicks shot impressive from the outside and lead at halftime. In the third quarter,
Coach Woodson inserted Rasheed Wallace in the game at the 6 minute mark.  Rasheed hit
two three pointers and one post up jumper. The Knicks increase the lead to 20 points and
won going away.
I left impress with Melo. He is a complete player that can shoot and pass well. He is a
scorer that can share the ball when doubled in the post. No Sixer could match up with him
defensively. This is where the Sixers miss Andre Iguodala.
The Sixers must figure out the go to guy. When you go down two or three possesions and
don't score, you must have a guy that can get fouled or score a basket. Last night, I didn't
see that guy. Wright, Holiday or Turner must fill that role until Bynum comes back. I would
like to go with Wright as that guy. Turner is better playing the stat stuffer role. He can get
points, rebound and a couple assists. Our clutch guy should be Holiday.
I would like to see the Sixers play a more inspired game against New Orleans.
