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.

Sixers beat Nets, move to 2-5 in preseason play
Author: jfreeborn26 Oct
| The 76ers got their 2nd win of the preseason against the Jason Kidd-less Nets, 91-83. No one shot above 50%, except Andre Miller who shot 8-10. The Sixers defense continues to look good against the 2nd and 3rd teir players of other teams. Louis Williams played only 8 minutes, odd. I don’t have much else to say about this game. But if this is the last warm up before the real season begin - well - there are still a lot of unanswered questions. |  |

Sixers drop another to the Knicks
Author: jfreeborn25 Oct
| For the 2nd time this preseason the 76ers faced off against the New York Knicks. The end result was nearly the same. The Sixers lost 90 to 103. The squad shot under 40% and were handily outrebounded. They did show some effort on defense, forcing 24 turnovers. But, this is a shady Knicks team, not an elite group at all, and they played 15 players. Once again Andre Miller led the team in scoring and attempts. This just kills me. Everyone praises him for his “true point guard” status. Yeah he shot 50% this game but if this happens in the regular season I’m gonna revolt. |  |

Sixers get first preseason win vs. Boston
Author: jfreeborn21 Oct
| The 76ers finally got their first win of the preseason (now 1-4) against the Boston Celtics: 76ers 96 - Celtics 78. Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce sat out, but a win is a win, right? The whole team played reasonably well. Jason Smith had his best game yet, grabbing 9 rebounds and scoring 16 points. The only problem with that is this: the Celtics didn’t have anyone over 6′ 9″ on the court all night. Jason Smith is 7′ tall. Reggie Evans didn’t make a field goal again, putting him at 0-16 in preseason. Kover didn’t miss a 3 and the 76ers had 6 people in double figure scoring. Louis Williams only played 17 minutes, but his numbers look good. |  |

Sixers lose 4th preseason game
Author: jfreeborn17 Oct
Again the 76ers lose, taking their preseason record to 0-4. The Sixers started rookie Jason Smith at center over backup center Calvin Booth. He didn’t play worse than before, but Calvin Booth played just as horrible as a backup. Willie Green shot pretty well, shooting 6-11, scoring 15 points, but managed to achieve 0 rebounds, 0 assists, 0 steals, 0 blocks, but 2 turnovers. Andre Miller once again led the team in scoring and attempts. That just hurts my brain. You can read the ESPN recap here.
