Since my arrival:

Flyers win 3-2
Sixers beat the Nets in NJ (AI was sick like Ebola virus tonight)
If the Eagles can somehow pull out the V tomorrow, you will all know that Messiah has arrived

Watching Korver play last night makes me wish he could play some goddamn defense once in awhile. When he's on like that he is a true weapon. But his defensive shortcomings are too much. While he won't go 10/11 every night, he is getting better at the mid-range stuff to the point where he could be a viable #3 scorer if he could play some defense.

And Iverson is simply on fire. He's averaging 34ppg and Kobe's second with 30. He has 100 more total points than Kobe. And he's still dishing it very well and his shooting % is nice too.

12 assists last night.

Eat shtein AI haters.

[MDS]

He needs to work it around more. Get Matt Barnes and Michael Bradley invovled. They will never win a title with AI. Bla bla bla.

[hunt]

ai is having a nice season.
the team isn't.


are you satisfied with that?

[hunt]

They will never win a title with AI. Bla bla bla.

do you think they will? 

[MDS]

Why not. With the way King handeled the cap and sliding door of coaches, its tough.

[hunt]

is that a yes or a no? 

[MDS]

i wont expect it, but i has nothing to do with allen iverson.

[hunt]

so it's a no?

well, if they won't win a championship with iverson as the focal point of the team, maybe it's time to move on....the goal is a championship, right?

[PhillyPhreak54]

So if AI wasn't on this team and say Kevin Garnett was...would they win a championship?

[hunt]

So if AI wasn't on this team and say Kevin Garnett was...would they win a championship?

maybe.

they're not winning one WITH iverson...can we agree on that?

[PhillyPhreak54]

Yeah, thats obvious. But we've been down this road before. Given the situation with how this team has been built they aren't going to win one with AI nor are they going to win one without him. Because if you subtract him and add another "max player" you still have the same cast of misfits as a suppoting cast, right?

So you take out AI's 34ppg and add in some other superstar's 25-30ppg and where are e at? The same place as we are now.
