The game Sixers fans have been waiting for has finally come and gone. I had the pleasure of sitting in the lower level at the Wachovia Center directly across from the Denver bench for Allen Iverson's return to Philly, as evidenced by the photograph above.

"The way the East is, I would think that we would be right there in the hunt. . . .
