Quick Hits

• The Sixers are bad. (I think. Was that win streak a total fluke or are these devastating losses a fluke...Looks like the former.) They could have had the players just stand on the sideline for the last 2 min against the Bucks last night and not lost any worse. They should be better than this though, right? I think we might have to admit Sammy is just a tall layman in a NBA center's clothing (I mean those 2 missed FTs? come on!), but Iggy's good! Webber's good! Iverson's good! Why can't all these good parts make a whole team?? Oh, I don't know, maybe it's the complete refusal to play defense or get an offensive board. One player on an opposing team frequently gets more than our whole team combined. We're talking like 5 a game. Iverson could average 50 for the season shooting 50% (which isn't so crazily off from the current numbers in what could be one of his best seasons) and we'd still lose b/c the other team is rebounding and scoring off those 15 shots he misses. Argh. I don't even want to say it, but it's not out of the question that the Sixers will have to trade Iverson and tank a season or two if they ever want to be good again in the next few decades or if he wants to win before he retires.
