Sixers fall to 2-5

Last Night, the 76ers fell to 2-5. The Sixers had a 50-43 halftime lead, but allowed Dallas to open up the second half with a 16-2 run. The Mavericks went on to beat the 76ers 99-84. Andre Iguodala had a double double and a near triple-double in the loss. He might be on his way to earning that $77 million contract he wants.

The Sixers have lost 3 straight and are sitting the Atlantic division's cellar.

Sixers blow out the Bobcats

Last night, the 76ers blew out the Charlotte Bobcats by 31. An all-around great defensive effort led the Sixers to be Charlotte 94-63. The Sixers had 17 steals (Iguodala 5) and 7 blocks last night (Carney 3) in a game that only had one tie 2-2 and the Sixers were never behind. Iguodala led all scorers with 19. Samuel Dalembert added another near double-double with 9 points and 13 rebounds.

The 76ers top draft pick, Thaddeus Young, saw his first action of the year in the blowout win. He had 6 points, 3 rebounds, and 2 steals in 11+ minutes.

Sixers other top pick Jason Smith has logged good minutes all season and he continued his good play off the bench yesterday. He had 10 points, 3 boards, 3 steals, and 1 block in 20+ minutes last night.

The 76ers are back in action Friday night when they host the Toronto Raptors at the Wachovia Center.

The Sixers vs. Iguodala

The Sixers have left their best offer on the table for Andre Iguodala. The deal reported to be 5 years, 55 million. If they do not sign Iguodala to an extension tonight, they will not be able to negotiate with him until July 1st, but he will remain a restricted free-agent.

The 76ers open the season tonight in Toronto. What are you expectations? I found it hard to believe that this game will reach the 30 win mark.
