Philadelphia 76ers

76ers Notes Entering last night's 105-74 rout of the 76ers, the Boston Celtics were allowing 81.3 points per game. The Sixers, including one overtime contest, were scoring 115.3 a game and giving up 111.0.

By Celticsfantatic A three-pointer by Stojakovic tied the game at 74 in the early stages of the fourth, but the Celtics scored the next six points, capped by a dunk from Shelden Williams. Let's see what the green crew can do Tuesday against an even jumpier Philadelphia 76ers team.

By Rafael Uehara 1 – Boston Celtics After only three games played on the season, the Celtics already showed us why they are the strongest team of the league. At this point of the season, premiere week, when everybody is healthy and when even Rasheed Wallace seems motivated, Boston showed its true colors. A hu...

By By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK (AP) -- Andre Iguodala scored 32 points, including the go-ahead three-point play in overtime, and the Philadelphia 76ers blew a 23-point lead before beating the New York Knicks 141-127 on Saturday night.

By twins15(noreply@blogger.com) After the Philadelphia 76ers signed Elton Brand in the 2008 offseason, everyone expected them to become one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference, possibly challenging for a top 3 seed. That never materialized, as Brand's slower style did not mesh with the Sixers breakneck pace. The...

PHILADELPHIA -- Andre Iguodala has never made an All-Star team. He's never really mentioned in the same company as the top stars in the NBA.

The 76ers have picked up contract options on three players, including starting small forward Thaddeus Young.

One of the 76ers' most impressive players in the preseason has been second-year forward/center Marreese Speights. Much work has gone into his improvement, in which he has become a scoring threat both inside and out. He has consistently been hitting the 10- to 15-foot jumper and has now add...

MONTERREY, Mexico -- Andre Iguodala scored 23 points and Thaddeus Young added 17 to help the 76ers beat the Phoenix Suns 116-94 on Sunday in Mexico.

Elton Brand scored 20 points in his best game of the preseason, and the 76ers beat the New York Knicks 93-85 on Tuesday night for their first 4-0 exhibition start since 1978.

The mystery surrounding Samuel Dalembert continues as the 76ers began learning the Princeton offense under new coach Eddie Jordan.

Elton Brand finally began to feel like his old All-Star self at a Los Angeles gym where summer pickup games featured some of the NBA's top stars. Brand, Paul Pierce, Ron Artest, Emeka Okafor all played for hours, usually with no refs, banging and shoving and dishing out all kinds of abuse.

PHILADELPHIA -- The 76ers are heading into training camp without making any major changes following two straight mediocre regular seasons and first-round playoff exits.

The Sixers signed F/G Rodney Carney for the fourth-year minimum of $855,000. Carney, who spent his first two pro seasons with the Sixers before he was traded to the Timberwolves in July 2008, is expected to compete for playing time on the wing. His addition gives the Sixers 13 guaranteed con...

The Philadelphia 76ers have signed free agent swingman Rodney Carney a year after trading him. The 76ers signed the former first-round pick on Tuesday. Carney spent last season with the Minnesota Timberwolves, averaging 7.2 points and 1.9 rebounds in 67 games, including six starts. The 76e...

It isn't really accurate to say Royal Ivey is returning to the 76ers, because he never really left. Oh, Ivey opted out of the second leg of the contract he signed in 2008 and became an unrestricted free agent, mostly in search of a little more money. Agent Keith Glass said he "talked to some team...

76ers guard Royal Ivey, currently a free agent, posted the following message yesterday on Twitter: "Going back to Philly!" The message left some Sixers fans with the impression that Ivey was announcing his return to the team. Ivey played the 2008-09 season with the Sixers, averaging 3.0 p...

By noreply@blogger.com (Greg Eno) When the number of NBA coaches who've been canned before Christmas starts to approach the number of teams Larry Brown has helmed, then you know something freakish is going on. 1. Eddie Jordan, Washington Wizards 2. Maurice Cheeks, Philadelphia 76ers 3. Sam Mitchell, Toronto Raptors 4. PJ Carlesimo, Oklahoma City Thunder 5. Randy Wittman, Minnesota T-Wolves 6. Theus, Sacramento So who'll be the next NBA coach to be unemployed? It's assumed that there'll be a moratorium until after the holidays, giving us some time to mull it over. My guess? Mike Dunleavy of the LA Clippers. His teams have been getting progressively worse over the past few seasons. Just a hunch.   [read the full post]

By dberri The last time the Philadelphia 76ers won an NBA championship the team’s point guard was Maurice Cheeks.  And as I noted a few months ago (see What Ever Happened to ”Fo’-Fi’-Fo’”?) only Moses Malone produced more wins for the Sixers during that championship season. Coaching Cheeks

A few months ago, the Sixers were a happy story -- the young team that almost slayed the Pistons, and then tacked on the best free agent of the bunch. Now? Well, I didn't even go looking, and today I came across two suggestions that Maurice Cheeks won't last long as head coach.

By TheBigLead Teams attempting to implement a new star have been struggling. The 76ers acquired All-Star Elton Brand, and they’re just 9-12. The Toronto Raptors acquired chronically-injured All-Star Jermaine O’Neal and they’re 8-11 (plus fired coach Sam Mitchell). The Detroit Pistons, in a cap-cle...

By Tom Ziller Ziller: Boston seems to be a favorite in most corners, with Cleveland receiving top contender status. Is Cleveland the best contender to dethrone the Celtics? What about the Pistons? Or will one of the big movers (Philadelphia, Toronto) rise up?

The 76ers: They had the seventh best record in the East at 40-42 last season and extended the Pistons to six games before losing in the first round. In the off-season, they added free agent Elton Brand to a team with a budding star (Andre Iguodala), a terrific but underrated point guard (Andr...

By David Friedman Houston's winning streak, the exciting battle for MVP and the tight Western Conference playoff race have dominated NBA headlines recently, enabling the Philadelphia 76ers to fly under the radar--but the Sixers' 95-90 win over the Boston Celtics on Monday improved their March record to 10-2, including victories over Phoenix, San Antonio and Detroit. The Sixers currently own a 36-35 record and they have recovered impressively after starting the season 5-13. After a seven game losing streak to start off January dropped the Sixers to 14-24 it did not seem likely that they would make the playoffs even in the weak Eastern Conference but they currently own the sixth playoff berth and they are just one game behind the fifth place Toronto Rap...   [read the full post]

By David Friedman The 76ers posted the highest scoring average ever for an NBA champion and the third highest in league history (125.2 ppg). They ended the Celtics' record run of eight straight championships and in 1980 they were selected as the greatest team in NBA history. Wilt Chamberlain insisted that this was the most talented team he ever played on and, considering that he was flanked by two other Top 50 players (Hal Greer and Billy Cunningham) plus Chet Walker (who should be in the Hall of Fame) and Luke Jackson (a powerful inside player whose career was cut short by injury) it is hard to disagree. 9) 1970-71 Milwaukee Bucks (66-16; 12-2) 8) 1982-83 Philadelphia 76ers (65-17; 12-1) 7) 1988-89 Detroit Pistons (63-19; 15-2)   [read the full post]
