Bright Spot In Philly

AUTHOR: Brian G. | IN: 76ers, Allen Iverson, NBA | COMMENTS: None Yet

Post By: Matt Petrini
Well its official, Philadelphia 76ers guard Allen Iverson has just been named a starter in the 2010 NBA All Star Game, which will be held in Dallas, Texas.
Iverson finished second among Eastern Conference guards, with 1,269,568 votes trailing behind Miami Heat guard Dwayne Wade. It’s Iverson’s 11th straight All-Star appearance and his first as a Sixer since 2006, which is ironically the last time Philadelphia has had a starter in the All-Star Game.
A two-time All Star MVP in 2001 and 2005, Iverson becomes just the 26th player in league history to earn at least 11 All-Star [...]

Consistency: Name Of The Game

AUTHOR: Brian G. | IN: 76ers, Allen Iverson, Andre Iguodala, Jason Kapono, NBA | COMMENTS: 2 Comments

Okay, here we go! This season has been filled with a whirlwind of ups and downs for this beloved 76ers ball club. The possibility of putting together a solid win streak, the signing of Allen Iverson and nice wins against Portland on the road and New Orleans at home all highlight the season thus far. What really hasn’t been notably etched on my pad if positives is consistency. That’s right, this is one word that certainly does not describe the 76ers  and it certainly shows on and off the court in the win/loss column.
For instance, the first area of non-consistency [...]

Miller’s Homecoming Dooms Philadelphia

AUTHOR: Brian G. | IN: 76ers, NBA, Portland Trailblazers | COMMENTS: None Yet

Post by: Matt Petrini
Former 76ers point guard, Andre Miller went for 24 points, three assists and two rebounds for Porland. He and Jerryd Bayless combined for 42 points from the guard position as Portland blazed past the Sixers, 98-90 Wednesday night at the Wachovia Center.
Playing without leading scorer Brandon Roy in the second half (23.5ppg), Portland looked for some support off the bench to compliment Miller. Bayless answered the call, scoring 18 points on 7-12 shooting while collecting three steals. LaMarcus Aldridge paced Portland with 23 points.
The Sixers suffered yet another hard fought loss but it wasn’t to be forgotten. [...]

Tale Of Two Halves

AUTHOR: Brian G. | IN: 76ers, Minnesota Timberwolves, NBA | COMMENTS: None Yet

 
Happy MLK Day to everyone! The Sixers were on the road for a matinee showdown in T’Wolve land this afternoon and what a game it ended up to be. The tale of two halves was evident as the Sixers came out with energy, poise and a defensive prowess that forced 11 Minnesota turnovers. Those turnovers turned into points as the beloved Sixers were able to get out and get some transition baskets much like their last two games.
The most impressive part of the first half was that the Sixers led by as many as 20 points and were in such [...]

Offensively Speaking

Okay here we go! We already know to win ball games in the NBA you need to score more points than the other team. Duh! But the Sixers have not always been too keen on getting the rock into the hole consistently. One game the team scores in the 100’s and the next they are held to low 80’s to maybe the 90’s. Then the fluctuation continues on and on. Why is that? Who knows, but from a few visuals and checking out some stats, here is a solution to the problem.
First of all, Eddie Jordan was hired to bring [...]

Sixers vs. T’Wolves: Preview

AUTHOR: Brian G. | IN: 76ers, Allen Iverson, Andre Iguodala, Minnesota Timberwolves, NBA, Samuel Dalembert | COMMENTS: None Yet

Post By: Matt Petrini
After an impressive win against the Sacramento Kings on Saturday night; 98-86,
Philadelphia Sixers (13-26) will make the journey to the Mid-West to  Minnesota. There the  Timberwolves (8-33) await for a battle to try to improve their abysmal record.

Allen Iverson has proven that he is capable to score 28ppg  like he did  in his younger days. A.I. led this league in scoring and is ready to do so again as he tries to take it to the Timberwolves defense. With the current All-Star Game right around the corner, the Sixers including Andre Iguodala and Allen Iverson are looking [...]

Apologies

AUTHOR: Brian G. | IN: 76ers | COMMENTS: None Yet

Step brother got password for the blog account here at Sixer Sense via me leaving it out on my desk here at the blog office. He was spoken to and I am here as BRIAN G to apologize to the fans if the post was strong about adding comments. In a discussion I mentioned for him to get our name out via word of mouth and through his online media aspects.. did not intend for that to happen. So The Sixer Sense offers apologies and hops Fansided keeps up the great work.
Sincerely,
Staff!

Wow!

Wow. Its the only expression that comes to mind after watching this video. Antonio “I’m Garbage” Daniels thought he could handle AI on a simple in-bounds play. Boy was he wrong.

Basically Iverson crosses him up, tells Daniels to get back up, and as he attempts to get back up, he crosses him up again. Embarrassing. Seriously you’re a professional NBA player. How could you get crossed up that badly. I know it’s Iverson, the master of the crossover ,but still at least stay in-front of him or when he crossed you up the first time, just do [...]
