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 [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]

 
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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Alright, here we go. The Sixers played an absolute solid game tonight at the Wachovia Center and beat the Sacramento Kings by a count of 98-86. From the get go, the Sixers played with a little bit of pep in their step and the positive energy turned into positive plays. Running up and down the court and getting out in transition allowed the Sixers to take control of the game and capitalize with easy buckets. On the defensive side of the ball, the Sixers turned it up a notch and forced the Kings into 19 turnovers, mostly on dribble drive [...]

The Sixers are set to take on the Sacramento Kings tonight at 7pm at the Wachovia Center. Tonight marks the first time that Kings scoring guru Kevin Martin will be back in the line up and the return of local products Tyreke Evans and Jason Thompson. Both play for Sacramento. The Sixers are looking to avenge their loss they suffered at the hands of the Knicks on Wednesday night. To do that though, the defense among the guard spots needs to improve and not give up so much dribble penetration. A much better performance from the hands of Iguodala, Williams, [...]

Okay, here we go fans. The Sixers dropped another game on the home floor of the Wachovia Center at the hands of division foe, the New York Knicks. Right now at this point in time, the Knicks are the better team and are playing a lot better, but the Sixers really could have pulled this game out when it was all said and done. Instead, the beloved Sixers are licking their wounds after a 93-92 loss and there are some questions that still need to be answered. Most notably, the consistency on offense and the defensive woes that have plagued [...]

For Allen Iverson, the road through the NBA has seen its share of ups and downs. Anywhere from requesting trades to off the court trouble including a famous incident with Larry Brown concerning a practice that Iverson missed. “We’re sitting here, I’m supposed to be the franchise player, and we’re in here talking about practice,” Iverson quoted as he went on a to rant about the topic 14 times. After Iverson 03-04 fallout with the Sixers, he has now rejuvenated his career and as of January 10, he is a projected starter for the [...]
