Sixers spoil Chicago home opener
Author: jfreeborn3 Nov
| The first spoiler of many to come, we hope, comes in game 2. The 76ers spoiled the Chicago Bulls home opener, winning 96-85. The Sixers pretty much led the entire game, but pulled away during the final five minutes with a 14-5 run. Andre Miller again led the team in attempts, again. He’s shooting the ball like it’s a contract year. Dalembert played solid, pulling 11 boards and scoring 14. Iguodala continues to fill the stat sheet (without an extension), scoring 22, grabbing 10 boards, 6 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks. Why would we give a guy like that an extension? Korver was the only player to play significant minutes off the bench. Calvin Booth continues to be a stiff earning 1+ million. |  |

Sixers lose season opener in Toronto
Author: jfreeborn31 Oct
| One game down, and the Sixers did just what they promised to do. The 76ers lost to the Toronto Raptors 97-106 in game one of the 2007-08 season. The Sixers were down by 20 in the 3rd quarter and battled back to make the game close. In the end the depth and 3 point shooting of the Raptors was too much. The 76ers allowed the Raptors to shoot over 56% from the 3 point line. They did out rebound the Raptors, but gave the ball back in turnovers. Once again, like in pre-season, Andre Miller led the team in attempts. He didn’t shoot bad (7-17) but is he the goto guy now? Korver came off the bench to score 20. Reggie Evans grabbed 15 rebounds in 22 minutes! The Raptors used 12 guys and spread the wealth. TJ Ford passed out 12 assists and scored 14 with only 1 turnover. |  |

At halftime on the radio, the Sixers broadcast team interviewed Billy King. A few gems came from the exchange. First, there is still no signed extenstion for Andre Iguodala. It didn’t sound good to me. Then Billy King expounded on the rebuilding process. He talked about Jim Paxson and Joe Dumars and how he’s “studied” what they’ve done as GMs. This cracks me up because King has been a GM since 1998, while Dumars started in 2000 and Paxson in 2003. I know the situations are different, but does this mean for 3 to 6 years King had no clue at all. We are now supposed to trust this new 3 year plan?

76ers News: Wednesday 10-31-07, The Season is upon us
Author: jfreeborn31 Oct
Well it’s finally here. The 2007-08 season begins tonight for the low-expectation Sixers. It may appear that I’m not a fan of the team. This isn’t the case at all. I’m often most critical of the things I love. I just want the best for the franchise, and we’ve gotten short shrift for a few seasons now. I wish the team the best of luck and the best of health. I have faith that Mo Cheecks will do his damnedest to get this team on the right track. I just don’t know how much that will matter. Iguodala, contract or no extension will be fun to watch year long. Korver will hop off the bench and bang threes. Who knows what Dalembert, Williams, and Willie Green will do - but I’ll be watching. I scored some tickets to the home opener on Saturday night, and I’m geeked up! Besides the fact, that I am just a huge NBA fan - let’s enjoy the ride.
