It's finally here. Just going by memory here, but it seems like the Sixers always open on the road. Oh well. Like it's been said before, we can't expect a win tonight. They're obviously the better team. It would be a pleasant surprise, but if not then there's still 81 games left to be played. Gotta remember that.

Ha, the first game thread of the NBA season is going to be called "where is the game thread"

Holiday is inactive tonight. Exactly what I was afraid of. The seasons off to a bad start and game one hasn't even tipped off.

Holiday is inactive tonight. Exactly what I was afraid of. The seasons off to a bad start and game one hasn't even tipped off.

yeah that's disappointing.. they said he's inactive so they can have another big body (Primo?) for Howard. hopefully that's true and this is a one game thing.

[Slacktard]

I think Speights was inactive the first game last year, Thad was inactive like 4 or 5 of the games at the start of the '07-08 season, but that was before the Sixers decided to go with a youth movement.

I don't have a huge problem with Holiday being inactive, but I hope its just a 1 game thing. Even if he doesn't get significant minutes, I'd like to see getting some time.

[Dedicated_76ers_fan]

Primo.....................................? As an additional "big body"?

Howard will crush him like an insect. Primo is no big, he's a scrub.

[SouthJersey]

If Holiday is still inactive 10 games in it will bother me, but not so much tonight.

Holiday is inactive tonight. Exactly what I was afraid of. The seasons off to a bad start and game one hasn't even tipped off.

You can't say you were expecting to him to play tonight, even if on the active roster. It could be a while before he gets any significant playing time. But yeah, hopefully we'll see him at least see the court sooner rather than later.

[Typeical]

i could of sworn dedicated was gonna have one up maybe a hour or so before the game. lol. oh well. this is going to be a tough one for the sixers. I think alot of philly fans will be watching the phils but i'll try both.



Sixers need to come out strong or we wil get dumped on all night

[Slacktard]

lol @ Pinckney saying Dwight Howard was working on his foul shoot with Patrick Ewing with the goal of continuing during the season and getting his FT % up into the mid 40's.

Like shooting 45% FT's is some kind of accomplishment.

*EDIT* something about that seemed wrong so I looked up Dwight Howards stats cuz I didn't think he was Shaq. He's a career 60% FT guy so now I have no idea what Pinckney was talking about.
