Small Forwards

Blogged under Front Page by Nothing but Net on Monday 13 November 2006 at 6:35 pm

Andre Iguodala will be the starter at small forward for the Sixers this season and he should have a fine season. Iguodala played well last season and averaged 12.3 points, 5.9 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game. Andre has been a complimentary player to Iverson and Webber, but he has the potential to be much more than that. Iguodala is a fine shooter (49.7% FGs, 34.3% 3′s, 75% FTs) who helps spread the court to give Iverson and Webber more room to operate. Andre also is a great finisher on the fast break. Iguodala has averaged 10.7 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.7 steals per game over his career and he’s played in every game over his first two seasons.

Rookie first round pick Rodney Carney will be the back-up to Iguodala. Carney has a very similar skill set to the starter and he’s a good defender. Carney should get some playing time, and he will do alot with it too. He was a good pick for the Sixers.

Sixers fall at home 108-101 to Nuggets

Blogged under Front Page by Nothing but Net on Saturday 11 November 2006 at 11:07 am

The Sixers shot well tonight (47.6% FGs) but it wasn’t enough last night against the Nuggets. Kyle Korver led the team with 23 points and 7 rebounds off of the bench. Allen Iverson was off last night as he only shot 6 of 20 from the floor. A.I. wound up with 21 points, 4 rebounds and 9 assists. Samuel Dalembert had a good game with 17 points & 6 rebounds. Chris Webber scored 16 points & grabbed 7 rebounds. Willie Green pitched in with 10 points. Andre Iguodala had a solid all-around game with 8 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists.

The Sixers have to win games at home like this if they want to contend for the playoffs. The Sixers are now 3-3 on the season.

Sixers lose a tough one 106-104 to Raptors

Blogged under Front Page by Nothing but Net on Wednesday 8 November 2006 at 10:26 pm

The Sixers out-rebounded the Raptors 53-45, and out-shot them 49.4% to 40.9% and still lost the game. Can’t blame in on Allen Iverson, who scored 35 points & dished out 10 assists. In the Sixers last game, Coach Cheeks pulled Chris Webber and Samuel Dalembert because he didn’t like their effort on the boards…..that was not a problem tonight. Webber scored 14 points, snatched 13 rebounds, dished out 6 assists and blocked 2 shots. Samuel Dalembert was awesome tonight. He scored 13 points, grabbed 18 rebounds, stole the ball twice and blocked 5 shots! Andre Iguodala scored 10 points and grabbed 5 rebounds. Kyle Korver had an inspired game off of the bench with 10 points, 6 rebounds and 2 blocked shots. Willie Green shot well and scored 12 points.

The Sixers should have won this basketball game, so it could sting a while.

Sixers get pushed around by Pacers 97-86

Blogged under Front Page by Nothing but Net on Tuesday 7 November 2006 at 11:44 pm

This game was really never closer than the final score. The Pacers pushed the Sixers around all night, out-rebounding them 52-32! A.I. was a little off tonight as he hit only 8 of 22 shots from the floor for 20 points. Kyle Korver and Willie Green each scored 14 points apiece. Andre Iguodala scored 10 points & grabbed 7 rebounds.

The Sixers were do for a stinker and this game definately qualified as one of those.

A.I. wins player of the week

Blogged under Front Page by Nothing but Net on Tuesday 7 November 2006 at 12:12 am

Allen Iverson was named the player of the week in the Eastern Conference for week #1 of the season. Iverson averaged 34.0 points, 3.7 rebounds and 9.7 assists in leading the Sixers to a 3-0 record.

Power Forwards

Blogged under Front Page by Nothing but Net on Monday 6 November 2006 at 4:25 pm

Chris Webber is starting to slow down a bit, but he will be a perfect second fiddle to A.I. Webber is the prototype power forward in the NBA. Webber has good size and isn’t scared to mix it up under the basket. Webber has career averages of 21.6 points, 10.1 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.5 blocks per game.

Shavlik Randolph might get a little more playing time in his second year in the league. He didn’t get much of a chance to prove himself last season averaging 2.3 points & 2.3 rebounds per game.

Veteran Alan Henderson will be the #3 power forward on the Sixers this season. Henderson has always been a back-up, but he hustles and is a decent rebounder. Henderson has averaged 8.1 points & 5.1 rebounds per game over his long career.

Sixers cool the Heat 107-98

Blogged under Front Page by Nothing but Net on Monday 6 November 2006 at 12:58 am

Shaquille O’Neal didn’t play for the Heat, but this was still a good win for the Sixers. Allen Iverson had his usual game with 31 points, 4 rebounds and 13 assists. Kyle Korver continued his hot shooting nailing 5 of 6 3-pointers and scoring 22 points. Andre Iguodala had a good game with 20 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists. C-Web had a decent game with 10 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists.

The Sixers built up a 57-41 halftime lead and made it stand up.

76ers nip Magic 105-103

Blogged under Front Page by Nothing but Net on Saturday 4 November 2006 at 2:03 am

The Sixers got out-rebounded 44-22 and still won the basketball game because they shot 56.1% from the field as a team. Allen Iverson hit the game winning shot with 2.2 seconds left in the game. A.I. was unstoppable on Friday night as he scored 39 points, grabbed 3 rebounds, dished out 10 assists and hit 3 of 4 three-pointers. Kyle Korver came off of the bench firing, scoring 28 points and hitting all 4 of his 3-point attempts. Andre Iguodala & Chris Webber each chipped in with 11 points.

Any win on the road in the NBA…..is a good win.

Sixers push Hawks around 88-75

Blogged under Front Page by Nothing but Net on Thursday 2 November 2006 at 6:37 pm

The 76ers played great defense all game long and the Hawks could never get anything going. Allen Iverson led the way on offense, scoring 32 points, grabbing 4 rebounds and dishing out 6 assists. Andre Iguodala had 15 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and a blocked shot. Chris Webber only scored 8 points, but he grabbed 13 rebounds and blocked 2 shots. Center Samuel Dalembert was a beast scoring 11 points, grabbing 11 rebounds, blocking 2 shots and stealing the ball three times.

The Sixers held the Hawks to 33.3% shooting from the field and stole the ball 10 times!

Shooting Guard

Blogged under Front Page by Nothing but Net on Thursday 2 November 2006 at 6:30 pm

The Sixers have one of the most dynamic players in the league in Allen Iverson at shooting guard. The fact that his name even came up in trade talks has to have Sixers fans shaking their heads. Last season Iverson averaged 33.0 points, 3.2 rebounds and 7.4 assists per game. A.I. has never been a great shooter, but when he gets hot it seems like everything drops in. Iverson gets to the foul line alot because he’s fearless when driving to the basket. That also leads to him getting injured and missing games, but that style is what makes him great so don’t look for him to change. For his career, A.I. has averaged 28.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 2.3 steals per game.

Kyle Korver will back up Iverson after starting last season. Korver’s main skill is his shooting ability. Korver has nailed 40.8% of his career three-pointers! Kyle has averaged 9.3 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game in his career. Korver is also a back-up because he’s a poor defender.
