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.

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.

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

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

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.
