Whether devised as an alternative to Holiday, who has made some crucial turnovers in recent weeks, or just acting on a hunch that Iguodala's game is about to skyrocket, Collins said he's going to make an effort to start using Iguodala "a lot" as a point-forward.
"I want to get to the point where Lou does it, Dre does it, Evan does it, and Jrue, so we don't just have one guy who has to be in that situation," Collins said of the handling the ball and starting the offense. "So it relieves the pressure."
Collins said this slight shift wouldn't change anyone else's position or role.
Zone busting. At the start of Sunday's fourth quarter, Denver Nuggets coach George Karl put his team into a zone defense. Karl had watched the game film of the Sixers' loss to Memphis, during which the Grizzlies came from behind after switching defenses in the fourth quarter. On the first possession against Denver's zone, Iguodala made a three-pointer.
"It might be to the average fan not understanding how big that shot was, but for us that was like an exhale and we carved it up," said Collins.
Tape. Before Monday's practice, Collins showed his team a highlights tape from Sunday's 110-99 win over Denver.
"If you're not careful, tape can be very negative . . ." explained Collins. "Basically, what I want to get our guys to do is when they walk in that tape room they understand there is going to be a lot of good."
Getting some run. After Monday's short practice, the guys who don't play as many minutes scrimmaged 4 vs. 4 for 25 minutes. The white team of Evan Turner, Jason Kapono, Marreese Speights, and Tony Battie played against the blue team of Jodie Meeks, Andres Nocioni, Darius Songaila, and Spencer Hawes.
This week. The Sixers play at the New Jersey Nets on Wednesday, at home against the New York Knicks on Friday, and at the Knicks on Sunday afternoon.
