In an exciting game the 76ers lost in overtime to the New Jersey Nets. Of course, Jason Kidd, Vince Carter, Richard Jefferson, and Nenad Kristic were all sitting out - so let’s not lose perspective.

The good news: Louis Williams went off for 33 points, and he scored all of these in the 2nd half alone. Shavlik Randolph returned to action.

The bad news: Bostjan Nachbar killed the Sixers for 35. This doesn’t speak well for the defensive team that we are supposed to be building here.

76ers News: Friday 10-12-2007

No news is good news. is that true in this case? The sixers play the New Jersey nets tonight in preseason action. 76ersblog.com will bring you a special report from an attendee of that game. It’s his first professional basketball game ever, so the insight should be priceless. Sunday I’ll be attending the Wizards/Sixers matchup. At least Gilbert Arenas will be entertaining - I can count on that.

  • Hoops World reports that the Sixers rookies expect to make an impact. That’s a bold statement from the 12th and 19th picks.–>76ers rookies anticipating big year
  • Kyle Korver has nagging groin, I couldn’t help but link that –>Kyle Korver has nagging groin

76ers News: Saturday 10-6-2007

It’s really pretty amazing how hard people are working to find a story on this team.

NBA Live 08 rankings, Sixers at #25

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.
