At the request of Philadelphia 76ers coach Brett Brown, former team great and NBA Hall of Famer Allen Iverson gave some words of encouragement to a squad in search of its first win of the season.What we have to understand is I hope the message registers, Iverson said. Thats all I can do is hope my voice means something to guys that are younger than me, and us guys that paved the way. ... If only one guy got it, then Im happy.Iverson said he thinks the 76ers will be a solid unit, even if theyre the only team in the league without a win.Right now, everybody is pretty frustrated, center Jahlil Okafor said Wednesday after a 122-115 overtime loss to the Indiana Pacers at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. We thought we just let that one go, but we know we are right there.Honestly, its kind of deflating getting so close to a win. ... Now, we have to be mentally tough.Wednesdays loss dropped the 76ers to 0-7. Theyll face off with the Pacers again on Friday in Philadelphia.The 76ers have seen a rash of injuries decimate their young core. Ben Simmons (broken right foot), Nerlens Noel (right knee) and Jerryd Bayless (left wrist ligament damage) have been sidelined since the preseason. Joel Embiid?has been limited as the team seeks to carefully manage his workload and the stress on his right foot during games and practices.And what message does Iverson have for the Sixers faithful?I want the fans here to be patient with those guys, Iverson said. Weve got the talent. Its here. Just be patient with them. And I just want those guys to believe in each other and trust in each other. Thats it. The future is bright for us.

Air Force 1 Femme Pas Cher . -- Washington Redskins tight end Fred Davis was charged Thursday with driving while intoxicated, a day after he was suspended for an NFL substance-abuse policy violation. PITTSBURGH -- The scheduled starters for Saturdays Cincinnati-Pittsburgh game at PNC Park have had an eventful week, for different reasons.Reds right-hander Homer Bailey returned Sunday after 15 months between major league starts because of Tommy John surgery. Two days later, he was vocal in criticizing the club for trading slugger Jay Bruce.Pirates right-hander Ivan Nova, meanwhile, was directly part of the trade deadline flurry. Pittsburgh acquired him from the Yankees for two players to be named. He will be making his debut with his new team Saturday.The game will be the second of the series, after the Pirates won 3-2 on Friday.Nova joined the Pirates on the road and during his first pregame appearance in the Pittsburgh clubhouse, he was pulled in a few directions to tend to some equipment needs, publicity photos and such.But it sounded as if Nova would have some comfort level Saturday night.I have the advantage that the catcher who will probably be catching me is a guy that Ive known for a long time, he said of Francisco Cervelli. Hes a really good friend of mine. We have good history.In fact, Nova worked with Cervelli and another Pirates catcher, Chris Stewart, during his time with the Yankees. Stewart (knee) is on the disabled list.I came from the American League to the National League. Theres a lot of hitters I dont know, Nova said. They have an idea how to pitch to them.Nova was 7-6 with one save and a 4.90 ERA in 21 games with New York. He moved from the bullpen to the rotation in early May. In 15 starts, he is 6-5 with a 4.86 ERA.Nova doesnt plan on changing a lot and had not spoken with Pittsburgh pitching coach Ray Searage about his delivery.I dont think I have any mechanical probleems, Nova said.dddddddddddd My job is to go out there and execute my pitches.For hitters, that usually means a heavy diet of Novas sinker.The way I think is, if you dont show me you can hit my sinker, why (would) I stop throwing it? he said.Nova got some insight to life in the Pirates clubhouse from left-hander Francisco Liriano, a friend who was traded by Pittsburgh to Toronto on Monday.He also got the standard mantra from Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle: The organizational themes, to shrink-wrap it: You fear nothing. You respect everything. We hold ourselves to a very high level of execution in what we say and do. We dont make excuses. We play for the name on the front and represent the name on the back. If youre going to get your name in the paper, keep it in the sports page.Bailey, if he were under the Pirates watch, wouldnt have violated Hurdles mandates, but surely didnt get rave reviews from the Cincinnati management for questioning the motives behind the Bruce trade.I think I see the plan, Bailey told ESPN.com on Tuesday. They talked about us losing 100 games at the beginning of the year, and (expletive), were damn sure trying, arent we?Two days earlier, Bailey was basking in a successful return from his long injury absence. He allowed two runs, struck out six and walked three in 5 2/3 innings in a 3-2 victory against San Diego.He was sharper than I thought he would be, catcher Tucker Barnhart told Cincinnati.com. When Homers elevating and getting swings-and-misses on fastballs up, hes at his best. It just opens up his split and his breaking balls even more. ' ' '
