Philadelphia @ Toronto
Quote:
Allen Iverson and the Philadelphia 76ers saw their surprising undefeated start come to an end.
They'll try to rebound from their first loss of the season Wednesday when they visit the Toronto Raptors.
Little was expected from the 76ers after they finished 38-44 last season. But led by Iverson, who was the subject of trade rumors all summer, Philadelphia posted wins in its first three games before losing 97-86 to Indiana on Tuesday.
Iverson was held to only 20 points on 8-for-22 shooting, the first time in seven games dating to last season he was held below 30.
``We just never got another guy to score,'' 76ers coach Maurice Cheeks said.
Fortunately for Iverson, he gets a chance to regroup against the Raptors, a team both he and the Sixers (3-1) have had plenty of success against.
The Sixers have won six of the last eight matchups with the Raptors and seven of nine at the Air Canada Centre dating back to the 2001-02 season.
Iverson, who is doing his best to dispel the notion the 76ers should trade him, has averaged 30.7 points in 32 games against Toronto, one of only four teams he's averaged more than 30 points against in his career.

Re: Philadelphia @ Toronto
See if I can give some updates. I'm writing a paper too, but we'll see if I can handle it.

Re: Philadelphia @ Toronto
It comes on 610 WIP, but the internet feed is blocked.
I didn't really get to pay much attention earlier but the problem I saw was that they were settling for way too many outside shots. Also they were a little lazy getting out to defend on the perimeter. They're up 60-58 right now.
Dalembert just got a monstrous block on Kris Humpries, which lead to a semi-fast break miss by Korver.
The paint is open to attack, the Sixers just need to take advantage.
Iverson just nails a corner jumper from about 16 feet. 62-58 Sixers.

Re: Philadelphia @ Toronto
Sammy has been HUGE in this 3rd Qtr, had a block or 2, coming up with Offensive boards and scoring on the fast break, it just really looks like hes doing it all.
Sammy just got his 5 block of the game as I type.
O yah that guy ummm whats his name, Allen Iverson, yah thats it hes feeling it too!
62-58 Sixers

Re: Philadelphia @ Toronto
Nice first step by Bosh to the baseline drawing a foul on Dalembert sending him to the line. Hunter came from behind preventing it from being a three point play.
One thing I've noticed though with the Raptors is that the 76ers don't have anyone who can stay in front of him, so when he's driving it's trouble.
Bosh hits both from the line, 62-62.
Korver is fouled by Jose Calderon after posting him up.

Re: Philadelphia @ Toronto
Three second was just called on Korver.
I'm kinda mad at him, he called for the ball with the smaller Calderon on him but he had a great chance to take the ball to the baseline for an open basket. There was no help coming, instead he passed out to Dalembert.
He's got to be able to feel that at this point, take two hard dribbles and then spin right to the basket, that would be all day.

Re: Philadelphia @ Toronto
They need to stop settling for quick shots on the outside, you live and die by that. Should try working the ball some into the bigs, and move it back out if neccessary.

Re: Philadelphia @ Toronto
Quarter starts with Webber finding Hunter right under the basket, for two. 71-71.
The Humpries catches a rebound off of Porno Player's miss, because Korver didn't box out. 73-71.
Hunter with another basket, this time off a Korver missed jumper. 73-up.

Re: Philadelphia @ Toronto
Nice vision by Iverson to breakdown his man and find Hunter under the basket for the slam. 75-75.
The Humphries scores, interior D needs to step up.
Willie Green drops that three in. 78-77 Sixers.
