Defending Atlantic Champions vs. Middling Pennsylvania Selects


7:00 p.m. ET - Air Canada Centre

Instead of actually previewing tonight’s game against the Sixers I thought I would list an interesting fact about the Sixers, followed by a less interesting fact about the Sixers, several times:

- The 76ers are named after the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776, which took place in Philadelphia.

- Lindy’s Pro Basketball’s annual has this, possibly the summit of sports journalism, to say about the Sixers’ Andre Iguodala:

“Iguodala should have a big year. He’s on the verge of becoming an All-Star. He started to be more aggressive following the Iverson trade. Iguodala is a tremendous talent.”
- The Sixers went 30-28 after the Iverson trade last year.

- The Sixers finished 35-47, last year, in the Craplantic Division.

- Haitian-Canadian Samuel Dalembert expects to play tonight after suffering a stress factor in his left foot (go right Andrea!).

- Kyle Korver looks like Ashton Kutcher.

- Philly’s first-round pick Thaddeus Young averaged just over 14 minutes a game and 4 points a game in the preseason. Don’t expect to see him tonight.

- Young is 19 years old.

- Philadelphia point guard Andre Miller finished seventh in the NBA in assists last year, with 7.8 per game.

- T.J. Ford finished sixth in the NBA in assists last year, with 7.9 assists per game.

- The Sixers will lose tonight.

Actually, Kyle Korver looks like Jo from the "Facts of Life."

You know the Opening Game is an "It" event when George Stroumboulopoulos is in attendance.

Canada celebrity culture sucks eggs.

O provedor paga 20 centavos por hora de conexão discada com ligação local para mais de 2100 cidades do Brasil. O CresceNet tem um acelerador de conexão, que deixa sua conexão até 10 vezes mais rápida. Quem utiliza banda larga pode lucrar também, basta se cadastrar no CresceNet e quando for dormir conectar por discada, é possível pagar a ADSL só com o dinheiro da discada. Nos horários de minuto único o gasto com telefone é mínimo e a remuneração do CresceNet generosa.
