Hornets (5-2) drop 76ers (2-4)
Author: jfreeborn13 Nov
| The Hornets shot over 47% from the field and 50% from the 3 point line in a easy win over the Sixers, 93-72. The 76ers shot just 13% from 3-land, and most other categories were about even. Goes to show you - putting the ball in the basket is key in winning basketball games. Dalembert had his best game of the season so far with 15 points, 10 rebounds and 2 blocks. |  |

76ers (2-3) lose to Raptors (3-3) for 2nd time this season
Author: jfreeborn11 Nov
| The 76ers trailed most of the game, but continued to battle every step of the way. In the end the Sixers lost to the Raptors for the 2nd time this season, 105-103. This game competitive, and a good portion of that is thanks to Iguodala and Louis Williams. Iguodala had another solid all-around game with 26 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists, and 3 steals. Williams scored 19 of his 21 in the 4th quarter, sparking the Sixers to a late comeback. His overall numbers again make me wonder why Miller gets so many minutes. In the 4th quarter Miller missed every attempt he took. Miller shot 40%, and racked up 7 assists with 2 TOs in 37 minutes. Williams scored 21 on 60% shooting, with 3 assists and 0 turnovers in just 20 minutes. Maybe Cheeks knows best - and believes that Williams isn’t ready to full minutes. But if this continues, the questions will continue to mount. |  |

Sixers (2-2) romp Bobcats (2-2)
Author: jfreeborn8 Nov
| Some games are just this way, when the opponent is down a key man (Raymond Felton is out at PG) and no matter what happens you can simply do no wrong. The 76ers stomped the Bobcats, 94-63. Other than a solid lopsided win there wasn’t a lot to call out. Willie Green played well shooting 50%. Andre Miller was not great (3 TOs) but didn’t jack up a lot of shots. Louis Williams played well in 24 minutes, scoring 7 and dishing 5 assists, with just 1 turnover. |  |

76ers News: Tuesday 11-6-07
Author: jfreeborn5 Nov
The 76ers are getting a few days rest and practice to regroup after the first three games. News is slim, but some additional words on the Iguodala contract. I can’t believe some people are trying to stick up for this lack of a move. Next up the undefeated Bobcats (2-0) tomorrow night at home.
Sixers (1-2) drop home opener to Nets (2-1)
Author: jfreeborn3 Nov
| I just got home from the 76ers home opener at the Wachova Center in South Philly. The 76ers lost to the Nets, 93-88. The game was pretty sloppy early on. I thought that neither team was gonna make it to 75. The 2nd half people starting getting going, and both teams made a few runs. The Nets were up 10 at the end of the 3rd quarter. The 76ers brought in Louis Williams and his sometimes erratic, but always energetic play changed the tone of the game. |  |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| By the 6 minute mark the game the Sixers were down just two. Then Mo Cheeks brought Andre Miller back in to run the show and clam things down. Within seconds he threw the ball away. (he got it back on a foul) The game continued to decline and the 76ers were never closer than 5 again.
I’m officially annoyed now. I’ve been hinting at this for days, but now it’s real. Andre Miller once again led the team in attempts. (16) There was a string of possessions in the 3rd quarter where Miller shot or drove (slowly) without anyone else even touching the ball. Is this the “pure point guard” that we need? Then on one of the final key possessions of the game Miller drives baseline and falling out of bounds dumps the ball into Dalembert. I don’t know how Sammy even got it, but it wasn’t the kind of play you run at a key moment. It was awful. I’m saying it now, by the end of the season Williams will be running the team. And I’m not a huge Louis Williams fan. He’s not ready to run this team. But in 19 minutes, Williams had 3 assists and 13 points, and 2 steals. Miller played 34 minutes to total 1 less point and equal stats. Oh and Williams shot 66%. |

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. |  |

76ers News: Tuesday 11-1-07, No contract extension for Iguodala
Author: jfreeborn1 Nov
The deadline has come and gone and Andre Iguodala does not has a contract extension. At the end of the 2007-08 season he will become a restricted free agent. This is not good news. Somone is going to offer AI2 a max contract at the end of this season. The Sixers will have the opportunity to offer any deal, but they will now pay full market price. I do not have faith that this situation will be handled well. If Iguodala is supposed to be a key piece of the rebuilding process then this should have been taken care of.

AI reminiscence, Iverson goes for 25, 14, 5 & 7
Author: jfreeborn31 Oct
| After the Sixers loss I watched the Denver Nuggets play the Seattle Supersonics. I am still a huge Iverson fan and he put on quite a show. AI was in effect. But this is the new and improved Ivserson. He scored his 25 points, but along with that he handed out 14 assists, grabbed 5 boards, and 7 steals! The Nuggets won pretty easily. |  |

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?
