Sixers drop another to the Knicks

For the 2nd time this preseason the 76ers faced off against the New York Knicks. The end result was nearly the same. The Sixers lost 90 to 103. The squad shot under 40% and were handily outrebounded. They did show some effort on defense, forcing 24 turnovers. But, this is a shady Knicks team, not an elite group at all, and they played 15 players. Once again Andre Miller led the team in scoring and attempts. This just kills me. Everyone praises him for his “true point guard” status. Yeah he shot 50% this game but if this happens in the regular season I’m gonna revolt. Andre Miller confused and angry - (AP Photo/Frank Franklin II)

NBA Game recapĀ 

There’s been a ton of news around the 76ers over the past few days. I guess the NBA fever is pitching up. It’s surely not the team itself creating buzz.

76ers News: Wednesday 10-24-2007

  • FanHouse’s Tom Ziller points out some additional painful truths about Billy King’s latest moves –>Philly’s comical draft just got worse
  • After weeks of saying that Dalembert was fine, and that he’d be ready for the season, the truth is finally coming out: he is not ready and is in and out of a protective boot, still –>Dalembert not a certainty for opener
  • The Sports Watchers, 76ers season prediction, 29-53–>NBA Predictions - Philadelphia 76ers
  • Phil Jasner proclaims, “No meaningless games now”. That’s funny, because I thought it was the opposite. –>No meaningless games now
  • Worldwide Sport News (a blog with a big name), reports that negotiations with Andre Iguodala are ongoing. Billy king is quoted saying, “There have been a lot of situations where guys have gone into a contract year and had their best seasons”. That is such a useless statement. AND, if they don’t get this extension done and he does have a great year - then what? –>Are the Sixers going to extend Iguodala?

    We have a nice Andre Iguodala highlight reel, there’s little else to show at this point in time.

    NBA Live 08 rankings, Sixers at #25

    Kind of hard to believe, I know. These rankings are always skewed. EA Sports has the Raptors at #28 and they won the Sadlantic Division last year. They do have old Andre Miller on the point guard list at #16, Iggy at #7 for small forwards, and Sammy D at #19 for center. I think Iggy at #7 is very gracious, and Dalembert at center is questionable in of itself.
