    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">the trade didnt help the sixers much bcuz:
    1) glen robinson is a HORRIBLE defensive player.
    2) allen iverson has a history or not being able to play with other scorers (read Van Horn, Larry Hughes, Jerry Stackhouse, etc.)</div>

    So what if he is a bad defensive player...so is van horn...robinson is a guy who has the package to hit big shots..van horn gets scared easily...with big dog you know what you are going to get..any team that has allen iverson in it will be a top 4 east team...he is that good....you arr also forgetting marc jackson..in the east he could be be really useful inside...

    If you are talking about the sixers then you are wrong

    They were the 4th seed..and made the 2nd round and lost in 6 to the pistons...

    ^^philly was a top 4 seed, but i think olskool misread what you posted, because he mentioned a top 4 team and you mentioned a top 4 team in the east.

    ^perfect. :mrgreen: most probably won't agree with you on putting the Knicks so low, but that's basically how I see their season playing out.

    I don't see why -

    PG - Frank Williams
    SG - Allan Houston
    SF - Keith Van Horn
    PF - Mike Sweetney
    C - Raef LaFrentz

    That sucks!

    people, just because allen iverson is a great player it doesent make the sixers a lock for a top-4 seed. the sixers are a 6th seed at best.

    6th seed at best? c'mon..they finished 4th this past season and improved with robinson and jackson....AI is a guy who has carried his team to the finals....he can lead a team no matter the talent to a high seed...expect no different next season...

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">yes, if you say that about AI you have to say it about tmac. </div>

    How you fiqure that? AI has taken his team further..you know how your team will do with iverson....a great leader

    Say what? if that statement was true he wouldn't of carried his team to the finals...mcgrady is no great leader....a guy who makes his team-mates better actually leads them somewhere...AI and kidd are the two best at that in the east..both carried their teams to the NBA finals....

    pat garrity= 10.7 ppg.no way in hell garrity could have averaged this if there was no tmac

    mike miller= 16.3 ppg with tmac. no way on gods green earth miller can score this much without tmac.

    and when AI went to the finals he had a hell of alot better players around him.

    Garrity will get those stats anywhere..he is just a shooter....mike miller gets the same in memphis..he just played games which affected his stats

    AI..made eric snow look good and a top PG...he passed the ball and helped KVH..same with DC....mckie...i could go on..AI makes his team better...and thats not just other player stats it is ACTUALLY LEADING HIS TEAM SOMEWHERE.
