Once again the 76ers lose a close, hard fought game. After leading by 15 in the 2nd the 76ers found a way to allow 55 in the 2nd half to a Bulls team averaging just 94.2 points per game. Dalembert had another big game, pulling down 20 rebounds and scoring 21 points. If Sammy could only stay consistent at this level, things would be different. In 9 of the last 22 games Dalembert has been solid, with double doubles - hitting 15+ rebounds 5 times, and 15+ points 8 times. In the other games, Sammy has been awful - 6 or less rebounds 4 times, and 6 or less points 6 times. He is statistically having his best year ever, but if he wants to remain the future of the 76ers at center, consistency is the key. Andre Miller, 1 on 4 - (AP Photo/Rusty Kennedy)

Redd is out and the 76ers still can’t be one of the worst teams in the league. The lone bright spot is Dalembert: 16 points, 16 rebounds. Willie Green continues to jack up bricks like a madman (avg 12.5 attempts per game).

A.I. is A.I. No one else, not Iggy, not Andre. Iverson once again displayed his innate ability to put the ball in the hole, dropping 38 points all while dishing 8 assists. Iguodala has a solid, but quiet game. Andre Miller contines to showcase his skills, putting up 21 attempts, 6 assists, and 3 steals. He must really want to be traded.

I’ve said it before, here it goes again. This is a lucky group. Once again the 76ers caught a team in shambles. Rookie of the Year, Kevin Durant is out hurt, Chris Wilcox is out, Luke Ridnour also out. The Sixers get the win. Louis Williams came off the bench and played solid, netting 19 points. The whole Sixers team shot well, almost 50% from the field. The key difference for the Sixers came on the free thrown line: 36 to 11. The flash Gordan era is upon us. Giricek played 14 minutes, scored 6 (only missing 1 of 3 attempts) and didn’t look foolish. He’s already done more than I expected.

Sixers (12-16) whoop Heat (8-21)

On Christmas day I watched the Heat lose to the Cavs. The game wasn’t much of a struggle for the Cavs. LeBron did his thing, the Cavs won. Wade still gets tons of accolades, but no one talks about him leading the league in turnovers (4.5/game). I do wish that someday, it won’t be any time soon, that the 76ers play in one of these X-Mas days games. It would be nice to root for a team that matters.

The Heat are awful, the Sixers are awful. Iguodala had one his best game of the season thus far, 28 points, (season high) 7 rebounds, 4 assists, and 2 steals. Miller played really well with 12 points, 8 rebounds, and 12 assists. He really must want to be traded. Louis Williams and Korver contributed off the bench with 13 a piece. The real confusing part is why Shaq can’t get enough touches. He only had 4 attempts (only 7 in the X-Mas day game). Again the 76ers win a game they should not.

The 76ers fought hard and Iguodala finished the game with a game winning jumper. The Sixers were losing most of the game, but came alive in the 4th quarter and hung on to the victory. Andre Miller continues his league wide tryout, scoring 29 points. When will they trade him? Only time will tell.

Sixers (10-15) fall in Indiana (14-12)

Again the Sixers shoot like garbage, 34.6%, and 25% from three, while giving up 45.7% and 42.9 from three for the Pacers. And - 10 more turnovers. That’s a recipe for losing. Dalembert continues his strong play with 15 points and 14 rebounds. Iguodala did not help his big man out, scoring 16 on 3 of 12. Korver was 0-5 off the bench. Indiana had 5 players in double figures. Dalembert attempts the Granger block (AP Photo/Darron Cummings)

This 76ers team is a lucky lot. They caught the Wiz without Arenas, the Rockets on a slump, and now they get the Cavs on a 7 game - make that 8 game losing streak. I’m still of the opinion that these wins will hurt in the long term. But hey a win is a win. Dalembert had a huge game with 16 points and 19 rebounds with only 4 fouls.

Dalembert almost netted a triple double, with 18 points, 11 rebounds and 9 blocks. He shot 8 of 8 from the free thrown line - he actually raised his free throw numbers to a respectable 73% this season. Willie Green seems to have broken out of his shooting slump - Willie’s actually shooting 53% over the last 5 games! Best of all, Andre Miller only took 7 shots! All of this good news should be tempered by the recent opponents. Two against the Knicks, Houston in a slump, and now the worst team in the league - the Timberwolves.
