I wonder about you. Just throwing out stuff for the hell of it. And you're an AI homer...but anyways...

The Sixers are 10-13 when Allen doesn't play. They have a better winning percentage w/o AI than they do with him. Go fig. And they are 5-1 in the last six games AI has missed.

<hr /></blockquote>

I did say 'about' and according to your figures I was only 3 games off anyways... sheesh, keep your panties on.

And I still stand by my reason for why teams can have winning records without their best player. It's very similar this season for both the 76ers and the Spurs. Both teams are often guilty of taking it easy and simply expecting Iverson and Duncan to do it all. Yet when these stars are out then it's an obvious point made of how they must step up and all contribute with their best efforts. It's a lot easier to do in short spurts of games. Similar to how a team gets on a high when a trade takes place.

While I like a lot of guys on the Sixers, I doubt they'd be able to have a winning record for a much longer stretch.

Anyone who says this current Sixers team is better without Iverson isn't thinking straight. I saw the same comments, not quite as many but just the same about the Spurs when Nesterovic, Rose and Parker and crew played some good games without Duncan and averaged a lot more points as a team.

You two crack me up. Whether it's a better team with or without AI is irrelevant, IMO. He's of course the best player on the team.

Three games off is a big *** difference, champ. They have a better winning percentage w/o him. Don't fool yourself. You seem to get a bug up your *** whenever someone says something a lil' negative about AI. Face it, he's been a hinderance this year.

A longer stretch of games? 23 games is alot of games. Thius is the most games Iverson has been out in a season (even though quite a few are games he should have played in). Everybody used to say the Sixers would do nothing without AI. But this year has proven that wrong. They've actually played a better brand of ball when AI isn't in the lineup.

Iverson is the king of the 30 point night on 10-of-37 shooting. He's a ballhog and a cancer.

Haha, ya, I always see that line from him. That's just sad. He's one of those volume shooters.

I think what it is, is that when AI isn't on the floor, especially this year, the team can just focus on running a game plan and having everyone touch the ball and rotate. The team isn't just standing around watching AI go at it. Everyone is more involved and it helps everyone get into a rhythm.

This is all guessing, cause I've barely watched any Sixers games this year. I just see the numbers. Everyone seems to put better numbers up when AI is out.

That's not saying that AI isn't a great player. It's just weird how that works tho.
