One thing you have to understand about Philly sports fans, we rarely look on the bright side, but when we see effort from our teams, we are as loyal as a junkyard dog. After complaining that my 76ers didn't do enough in the off-season in a blog last week, I have to give the team their props. After three games they are 3-0, including a home victory over the defending champion Miami Heat. What has been most refreshing about the team so far is that they are hustling, playing decent defense, A.I. is dishing assists as well as taking over when needed, and Kyle Korver (pictured above right) is having a monster start as the sixth man. Andre Igodala is getting a few more shots (and making them) and the center combo of Sammy D and Stephen Hunter, has combined to add some key blocks and rebounds. C-Webb is still shooting well in less minutes. While 3-0 is no big deal in the long run, it sure beats the team's play out of the gate last year. They must be listening to Mo Cheeks and and Jimmy Lynam. As long as they keep playng D, and battle in the fourth quarter, I'll be happy with the results. With the Flyers in the tank and the Eagles residing in mediocre-ville, the Sixers' fast start was a welcome surprise. For more on the Sixers visit http://www.nba.com/sixers/
