Pretty Decent NBA brawl sure to be marred by much disapproval (Trees And Things)

Acefantastik: Iverson is excellent

I come to second your quoting of Allen Iverson's better than expected assist ratios. Fine, he's a bit of a ballhog (and has been since he was a Hoya), but really, did he ever play with another decent offensive player? Sorry, Aaron Mckie and Mut

I do think it will make it more difficult for the transition. Here, Iverson will be asked to carry the load and then he'll be asked to mesh with Mello after 2 months. I think he's gotten to the point in his career, though, were like a lot of vets he just w

You can take a month to get the NBA package because Mello's going to be sitting it out with that suspension. As to AI deferring to Anthony when they're both on the court, I'll wait and see. AI will give you 100 percent each and every night, but

AI will lead the league in assists and defer to Mello. I'm so excited about this trade, I'm going to buy the NBA package on my directv and actually start watching games again. I just wish NBA Jam were still around -- I'm sure this would be the best tand

10th in the league in assists, 3rd on his franchise's all-time assist list, averaged better than 7 assists per game each of the last 3 seasons...I'm not seeing "selfish."

With the Sixers and Flyers in full stinker mode, once the Eagles play their last game, it's going to be a cold, long sports winter in Philly.

Well at least you can look forward to the release of Rocky Balboa. (Ducks, to avoid thrown objects

They weren't going anywhere with him. And with the baggage the team piled on by trading for Chris Webber, the Sixers were locked into just being mediocre at best over the next couple of years. This way, the team becomes automatically terrible t

He is the TO of Basketball. Selfish, a clubhouse cancer and extremely gifted. For a smaller guy in the league, he is an impact player. Carmelo Anthony is a fantastic player. When I watch him play I see a guy with a ton of talent and

Once Iverson dresses up in a Nuggets uniform, don't expect to see the ball out of AI's hands much.

nmiguy: Breaking News, AI traded to Denver

Tue, 19 Dec 2006 14:33:38 EST

Hey MayorBob, ESPN is reporting that Iverson is being traded to the Denver Nuggets, presumably to fill the scoring void of Carmelo Anthony. I think the Nuggets feel they can compete fo

nmiguy: 76ers are wretched trebled

Tue, 19 Dec 2006 11:01:58 EST

Glad you mentioned the 76ers. They have been trying their butts off to trade Iverson, and they can't swing a deal. A lot of teams can't take the contract or don't have the talent to trade. The Celtics have the talent, but they are not goi

Don't worry, you'll probably get your wish vis-a-vis Isaiah by the end of this season. The Knicks are wretched and they got there the old fashioned way -- management signed enough square pegs hoping they'd fit into round holes for long enough it'll b

Good point MayorBob. The thing is, coach Karl thinks Isaiah Thomas order the fight, and he thinks Thomas is an asshole for it, trying to instigate and get Karl's best players suspended. It really changes the playoff implications for the Nuggets

I wonder why there aren't more fights in football. I think that this:

Football fights are plain silly, since punching a guy in the helmet or shoulder pad is, well, pointless.
