Dalembert leads the 76ers to a win with 19 points and 11 rebounds. Overall the 76ers played a solid game and took advantage again while Ron Artest sat out.

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.

For the 2nd time this year, the 76ers allowed an opposing player to net a career high. Andrew Bynum got 24 and 11, and the win. The 76ers had Dr. J, Moses Malone, and Clint Richardson in the house from 1983 championship team in town, and put up another loss. Iguodala put up 21 attempts and scored 20, doing his best Kobe impersonation. Dr. J remembers

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.

Again, the Sixers lose to a lost team. The Garnett-less Wolves are a young and interesting bunch. Not unlike the 76ers, they have a losing record. A good measuring stick? Well, that would be one way to look at it. The answer, a uninspired loss.

  • 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.

    A win is a win. T-Mac went down and the 76ers took advantage.  Yao Ming had an off night, and the Sixers shot %51. I hope the 76ers don’t do what they’ve been doing the last few years - playing well enough to barely make the playoffs, or just almost make it: confirming a mediocre draft slot and further embarrassment. I’d almost prefer a few well fought losses. Maybe Stefanski will pull the trigger on Andre Miller - that would fix us good.

  • Lost King notes

    Not much else to say of the subject of King being fired. But, I found two stories with a different approach.
