bubba chuck, I hope he is serious about mentoring the young guys here. Who cares when he shows up? I hope it starts with him caring. He has a chance to repair a lot of wrongs over the past few years and go out on a high note, personally and career wise, so yes, I care when he showed up and hope it was for good reasons.

That place hasnt been that electric in 3 years of sixers play… That reminded me of a nova game as far as atmosphere goes. Yes Allen was rusty, but he made the others better, Iggy hasnt played that well for a long time… hmm maybe even before AI left? And who cares when he showed up… He knew it was going to be a zoo and was probably trying to avoid it… cant blame him… Let him lace up the kicks and go on the court… Im excited for at least having a pro player to watch for this season…

suede: tell you what; i dont know how long it lasts but just him being on the court seems to give them so much more energy. Vintage Sammy was blocking shots like he was a rookie again, Iguodala flying from side to side on defense and chucking up both good and bad shots with less hesitation, Thad was crashing the boards with his partner in crime Brand who would have really killed Denver if he could get some of those bunnies to fall. I hope they keep it up.

Atmosphere was great and the excitement was there (20+k fans). Same Sixers type of performance. Same result. Glad I went.

Will post something up later. Work is killin' me right now.

Well another game where you have stretches of Dalembert, Kapono, ivey, carney and will-e green in the game at one time. Who is the go to player in that line up? The ball handler? The post player? 4 guys, 1 idiot and a basketball. Great rotation EJ. Glad to see Ai back to bad the energy in the building could last but only 3 quarters then the Sixers and Eddie Jordan showed up. NBA where “losing 10 straight” happens.

Stu – I didn’t know there was another Philly fan living in DC on here, we’ll have to start a club.

Jkay – Perhaps Iverson has finally entered the age where he is ready to fulfill the “could have averaged 10 assists per game if he wanted to” era. But, pretty freaking doubtful. Probably a mix of both (Iverson trying to really defer, as well as having lost a step). Either way, it is weird not to have him be a dominant scorer in a game…even on Denver he was tied for the 1st option on offense. I have a feeling though once he plays his rust off and gets back in shape he’ll be a legit 23 ppg scorer again though. Will be fun to watch.

Eskin grilled our coach on A.I. getting there a little over an hour before gametime, here we go again!!!! Good news, Willie got less time and our bigs rebounded well.

Also, great heave by Iguodala for a shot that doesn’t count! I think he will really benefit from Iverson being back.

First NBA of any time I caught this season, was broadcast on NBA TV on Comcast down here in DC…
Had a good time watching AI. I don’t really care that they lost, it was fun to see the crowd all jazzed up.

Came down to two things: bench production and where are the fouls being called? Anyway, I admire Iverson’s honesty about not being 100% in game shape. I and the rest of Philadelphia can’t wait to see to him when he is in game shape!
