    Iverson & Co. Are Ready To Go

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Count Kyle Korver as one 76er who's ready for the season to begin. The forward described how the team couldn't wait for opening night. "I think we're so excited the preseason is finally done," said Korver. "It seemed really long this year. We're just ready to get going."

    Korver spoke to the media on Monday, after the 76ers held their last practice before the start of the regular season.

    Although Korver is no longer a rookie, the third-year player still gets excited for opening night. "It's still opening night," he said. "I'm sure I'll be nervous. I'm sure Allen (Iverson) will be nervous. For Chris (Webber), it's his 13th year, and I'm sure he'll still be nervous. That's the feeling."

    Head Coach Maurice Cheeks is also ready for the real games to begin. After running his first preseason with the 76ers, Cheeks is ready to take on the challenges of the regular season. "I'm ready to get started," he said. " I'm ready to get the season going, to start playing for meaningful reasons as opposed to preseason or training camp."

    "I know he's nervous," said Iverson in regards to opening night. "But, honestly, I'm really pulling for him. It's been a long month and I know he's ready to play a game for real in front of our fans. I know I am."

    Iverson, who has been battling injuries, is just as excited to start the season as anybody else. "I can't wait 'til they throw the ball up. Honestly, this is my 10th year, but I'm as excited now as I was when I played my first game as a Sixer."</div>

    The Sixers aren't the only ones ready. Everybody is saying the 76ers have a chance..... but I honestly think they will be prooved wrong.

    Can't wait for the season to start. This team is the best team I think King has put together since Larry Brown's days but the only problem is that the two stars are aging and will not have as big of an impact the year after this.

    I don't get that comment. Can you explain. Do you mean you don't think the 76ers have a chance? If so why not?

    I THINK he meant that everybody think the Sixers don't have a chance, and we will prove them wrong...probably just a typo.
