    Kate: Sorry I missed the live-chat. Good comments all around. One thing I would have added. Watching the past few games, I see the Andres, particularly Miller, talking a lot to Sammie on the court during the game. It seems to be working. He seems to be focusing more. Do you see that? (They should be doing it the entire time he is in if they're not doing it already because Sammie can be great if he stays focused...and then they will not have to shout his name with the look of utter fear that he's not going to be ready as they release the pass in his direction!!!) (I saw that during the last game).

    So far, Sam, Thad, Andre and Iguodala have done a good job in the starting line-up, so there's no reason to alter that. That would leave them a second group with Speights, Brand, Williams, Ivey and either of the Andre's. IMO that would give the Sixers two very tough groups and enough talent to win most games. In the fourth, the line-up will eventually be Speights, Brand, Young, Iguodala and Williams, with Miller substituting for one of the others.
