Raving over Ish

While the Sixers are sad to see Wroten go, the team has been beaming with excitement over Smith's return to the franchise.

They initially acquired him in February off waivers. The Sixers, however, didn't re-sign him in the offseason.

But he jumped back in Saturday night like he never left in the 111-104 victory over the Phoenix Suns at Talk Stick Resort Arena. The Sixers' first offensive possession ended with him throwing an alley-oop to Nerlens Noel.

"I couldn't have scripted the first play of how it started any better," Brown said. "Then when you look at the end result, you couldn't have scripted that any better.

Brown said at one level the team is excited because it has a new boost.

"On another level, you wish you had it a while ago," he added. "Ish is a fantastic late addition. People on the outside can assume, but we all know in here how timely it really is."

He's actually made them watchable, which is kind of amazing. He and Noel have a good connection going and it's relegated Okafor to the bench.

Makes me wish we had a PG who could do such things.

add another triple double. Without looking I believe he went for 29(10 - 19), 17, and 14. IF Curry continues to miss time people might start considering him a star like they did with Blake Griffin, although it was easier for people to do that with Blake because he was a former number 1 pick.

I didn't watch the game but just looking at the highlights and you see constant movement by GSW players cutting to the basket which is always wonderful to see. I hate when players stand around and watch.

Dray is miles better that blake. And, Dray is an all world defender. He is already a top 5 MVP candidate.

To them it's about the narrative. That's why players like Rose when MVPs over Lebron, Melo gets a top 3 nod, or PG gets ranked in the top 10

where is holfresh when you need him.

we had an all out war about Dray vs. Howard. He told me I'm insane for suggesting that Dray is better.

Of course he is miles better.
