76ers - Round 2 PHI : BOS - 4:3 - CF vs Heat short preview

.







.





Many debuts on this years NBA All Star Game roster. The East surprises with 5 first time All Stars including the dominating Rookies Evan Turner and John Wall. Derrik Rose was snubbed because he played only about 10 Games so far because of a knee injury.
Chris Bosh, Ray Allen, Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan and Kevin Love also miss the All Star Game. Some of them had injuries like Duncan and others just didnt compete enough to be called an All Star this season.

Wow Evan Turner in All-Star Game! Never see that coming

Latest Trades:


PHI > Darius Songaila > Sacramento
PHI > Thaddeus Young > Sacramento

SAC > Luther Head > Philadelphia
SAC > Marcus Thornton > Philadelphia
SAC > 2011 1st round Pick > Philadelphia

Gives me some more options on some fast Guards and also a very hot 1st Round Draft Pick - top 5
I liked Thaddeus Young a lot, but he wasnt happy with the 76ers and his moral decreased as i decided to put him behind Elton Brand. He would have left in FA anyway this year.

PHI > Maureese Speights > Cleveland
PHI > Jason Kapono > Cleveland

CLE > Anderson Varejao > Philadelphia
CLE > JJ Hickson > Philadelphia

Maureese Speights was a nice prospect, but with Varejao i received a solid force in the paint and JJ Hickson really seems to be a beast in 2k11. I already played some games with this new squad and Hickson always convinced, he even scored 28 points in the Game against the Grizzlies (tell you more later).

Liking the new lineup, especially the additions of Hickson and V. Also, congrats on getting Turner to the All-Star roster!

J.J Hickson is a beast, V doesnt put a lot of points in my team, but he is a great rebounder. Nice to see you got Thornton too

I am happy now with the trades, i already played some more games and the new players really had some good games. I am going to post the latest recaps soon.

There were no big trading deadline transactions but a very strange trade the Timberwolves and Raptors did:

Timberwolves send Luke Ridnour + Sebastian Telfair + 2011 1st round to the Raptors

Raptors send DeMar DeRozan, Kleiza , Reggie Evans to Timberwolves.

You have a pretty small lineup.

Timberwolves send Luke Ridnour + Sebastian Telfair + 2011 1st round to the Raptors

You'd think by now they realize that the Rapotrs already have point guards?

Now they have Bayless, Calderon, Ridnour and Telfair

Timberwolves traded PG away? Kahn is still a GM here?

Now they have Bayless, Calderon, Ridnour and Telfair

Not bad, now if they only had talent elsewhere on the floor

4 Game Update (3:1)

I finally made it to put up some more results of my 76ers squad.

PHI @ ATL - 103:88 - WIN
Andre Iguodala dominated this game, he scored 25 points and grabbed 12 rebounds. The 76ers made a big run in the 2nd quarter which secured them a save win in Atlanta.
Kirk Hinrich had also a big game, 22 points 11 assists always a threat from outside.
This victory was important because Philly and the Hawks are fighting for the 3rd and 4th seed in the East.



---

ORL @ PHI - 110:111 - WIN
A very close win this time for the 76ers. In the last game against the Magic it was Dwight Howard who destroyed the Sixers. This time the Guards Gilbert Arenas and Jameer Nelson showed great performances but in the end it wasnt enought to take the win.
It was also Game 1 with the new 76ers JJ Hickson and Anderson Varejao, both made a nice debut, especially Hickson who scored 19 points and 8 rebounds from the bench.



---

SA @ PHI - 115:111 - LOSS
Tony Parker led the Spurs to tie the season series 1:1. The Spurs were in front the whole Game and the Sixers struggeled from the beginning. Even Evan Turner almost reached a triple double it wast enough. Turner scored 19 points he booked also 10 rebounds and 8 assists.



---

PHI @ MIN - 108:106 - WIN
Minnesota surprised with a strong performance against the 76ers. The Timberwolves almost made it but falling short just in the last minutes. Wesley Johnson scored 31 points, Andre Iguodala was named player of the Game.




Al Harrington replaces the injured Tim Duncan

Nice wins there and a impressive debut for Hickson and Varejao

Yeah Hickson did great, so did Varejao. Iguodala is leading your team

Nice wins there and a impressive debut for Hickson and Varejao

Thank you. Yes they fit well into my Gameplay and Roster.

Yeah Hickson did great, so did Varejao. Iguodala is leading your team

Iguodala is leading at the moment, he scores better than in real life and its fun scoring with him. Turner is coming up big in the last games and he might be the leaders in the next years.

Some close games there, but great to see that your Sixers can pull wins out under pressure Excellent job utilizing Hickson and V!

Turner MVP

Thanks, but i think this will take another 2 years.

Just read it... Splitter traded for Harrington... terrible

Turner is having some huge games, great job.

They traded him immediately after Tim Duncan dropped out for the season, however the Spurs are doing very well still battle with the Lakers for the no 1 seed.

Yes Turner does really well, not only a big impact on scoring furthermore in assists , rebounding and steals.


He need to get that playtime next year in real life.

Evan Turner was the player of the night scoring his first career triple double.
He led the 76ers to a superior 26 point win scoring 21 points 10 assists and 10 rebounds.

DET @ PHI - 109:103 - LOSS - 1:1
The Pistons cooled down the 76ers denying a 5 Game winning streak. Richard Hamilton was on fire, he shot 3/4 from outside and hit almost everything. Rodney Stuckey scored 22 points and added 14 assists to his stats.
Though Turner and Iguodala had a strong game it wasnt enough to defeat the Pistons this time. The Pistons now have a very close look to this years Playoff spots.








Iggy flies over the Rockets defense

Holy hell, a triple double ? Nice one. Rips game was awesome too.

Turner for ROY! Sucks that he couldn't get used to NBA life IRL.
