Right there is something ridiculous that Iguodala should get mad at, Dalembert is stupid for not passing that.

Why can't we run back on D. How many times you going to get beat down the floor?

Seriously, Thad should be playing more than 18 minutes. *sigh*

14-23 from the foul line? It would be one thing if it was just Evans.

Thadeus looked good in the 1st half.

That Iverson guy is good. Wish we could get a player like him on our team.

We did and it didn't workout. Maybe if we had Ed maybe 5 yrs ago it might have been different ending to the Iverson era with the 76ers.

seriously! we **** wasted the prime of the best little man ever. imagine if we couldve had a Shaq or Garnett next to AI...

Imagine if they just had Shaq or Garnett...with this current team. It's a shame the franchise wasn't good during that time frame, but I can't picture Iverson as a victim there. He's got all the talent in the world around him now...he should win one or two championships if he's truly one of the all time greats.

its up to Iverson off the court how far that team goes. He's finally devoted himself to practice and weight programs. The final step is if he chooses to resign there for a much lower amount of $$$. If he can drop from 20 million a year to 8-10 million a year they'll have a true shot at a title.

Iverson drop to $8-10 million? That's less than what Andre Miller and Tony Parker make. No way that'll ever happen even when AI is 39.

Not really, it isn't that easy.

1) He isn't as good as Tim Duncan
2) His team around him isn't as good as Duncan has.

Nash has the same problem.

As good as Doc was we couldn't beat the Lakers until we added Moses. Sometimes even if you are a terrific player with a good supporting cast there is just a team that is better.

However, the Nuggets are one of those teams the Sixers have potential to do well against. They do not play good defense. The Sixers will likely get a lot of easy buckets and that tends to raise their spirits. Also, the Sixers are much better on defense now and the Nuggets tend to settle for 3-point shots against good defense. Also, AI might be a little too high for the game and play extra badly.

the nuggets dont play good D thing is so old and not true. just a myth.

its not a myth. I watch every game. I see it with my own eyes. You can give me any per 100 possession stat you want. Watch the game. They do not play good defense.

George Carl inthe paper today:

And never mind all the legendary stories about "practice . . . we're talkin' about practice." Karl said the number of practices Iverson has missed is "less than one hand, where he's taken a practice off. Less than five, other than the normal NBA, where a guy plays 40 minutes the night before and you say, 'Hey, just rest your body.' Less than five where you wanted a good practice and he was one of the guys who was saying, 'Hey, my body hurts today.' "

I guess, since he leads the leage in minutes- he rarely if ever has to practice. I guess that takes care of the whole practice issue.

Seriously, though, I am happy he is thriving in Denver, and only wish he was teamed up with a greart big man like KG- that would have been something special to watch.

Maybe you don't know what to look for.

I know it's the Suns and all, but the Nuggets gave up 137 points tonight. Did someone say they play defense?

Campy plays D.
