Not sure what Dwyane Wade and Charles Barkley do after those commercial shots...and don't really want to know....

There's no question Sir Charles brought is A-game tonight...a little disturbing, though.

We count 15 'You know what I'm sayin's' out of Kenyon Martin during Wednesday's post-game interview.

UPDATE: It just came to my attention this might have to do with KMart's stutter. If so, my appologies, Mr. Martin.

Doesn't look to pretty, but Luke Ridnour was fine.

Philadelphia coach Maurice Cheeks has the gout. We have no idea how bad gout is, but we think Cheeks should start a new trend.

Stevenson gets a huge scare

We're just happy DeShawn Stevenson was okay after his neck collided with Samuel Dalembert's forearm. Listen at the end for the Philadelphia fan who said, "Jamison, you're next!"

Rookie Thaddeus Young also gets shook-up in the collision.

Gilbert Arenas is with the team for the first time in 2008, and says he'll be back in uniform very soon.

Gerald Wallace can't dribble

Instead of hitting a big-time shot, G-Force makes a big-time turn over behind-the-back style. I don't know why he made this turnover like a French breadmaker does while making dough in the morning.

It was a two shot possession, and while the Cats needed a quick score, there was no need to put on another highlight. However, as G-man found, his attempt at making SC again would turn into a definite loss and...another for the super stingbean rubber band jumping man Andre Iguodala on the other side.

So Gerald passes the ball behind his back to the other team. The other team throws the baseball outlet...

Iggy flushes it home unclogging the rim for your viewing pleasure.

It seemed like the Bobcats had a bit of momentum up until this fatal error.

Iguodala comes out with a better dunk than he's performed in any dunk contest. I guess he had to put a little bit of flare into the Sixers' first win in the Bobcat's stadium.

Narducci: Iguodala not going anywhere

Speculation of Andre Iguodala leaving the Sixers as a restricted free agent has once again invited Lady Controversy's pimpled face to hang with the Sixers fandom.

Oh God save us!

Rumors are rampant. And many surround the man with a plan, the other AI, the guy from the Chi. So is a trade necessary to get some value for the Sixer’s best player?

I mean, it is possible Iguodala will leave the Sixers in the dust, with only 19-year-old Thaddeus Young to rely on?

It seems dumb to trade Andre unless you're 100 percent certain he’s not going to stay with the team. And besides Shaq missing games during the regular season, there aren't a whole lot of things that can be predicted with that type of accuracy.

Yes, there’s a lot that can happen between now and this July.

Trades should never be made out of pure speculation, but let’s just take a moment and assume the absolute worst hypothetical.

So Dre leaves. What then?

The Sixers are left with cap space to go after a forward like Antawn Jamison. If they don’t see a player they like, they take the year to rebuild and give the young guns some run.

Then they hit the free agent pool hard the next summer, and keep its fingers crossed for a high draft pick.

See, not so bad.

However, Philapelphia Inquirer reporter Marc Narducci told me he doesn’t foresee the Sixers parting with Andre Iguodala before the trade deadline.

In an email correspondence he wrote to me:

I'm an Iguodala guy and wouldn't trade him. People say he isn't a first option and maybe that is so, but he plays good defense and even though his offensive game is a work in progress, I think he's already a very good player who should continue to get better.

So I wouldn't trade him, and try to get a power forward another way, either through free agency (Antawn Jamison) or a trade.

The Sixers would have to find more cap room. If they can't sign Jamison then it's doubtful that nobody else will be able to and he'll likely resign with Washington.
Philly will probably opt for a scorer in the draft, and the team seems to have endless opportunities coming up this summer.

Narducci breaks these issues down and much more on his Deep Sixer blog, which is certainly worth a gander.
