"...Your boy is back The bounce is back..." *music fades* In other news, Willie Green has been placed on the injured list. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Philadelphia 76ers President and General Manager Billy King announced today that the 76ers have placed rookie guard Willie Green on the injured list and have activated forward Glenn Robinson. Robinson, who has missed 18 games this season (three for an NBA suspension and 15 with a left ankle sprain), was placed on the injured list on Nov. 25. He has averaged 15.5 points, 6.3 rebounds and 2.5 assists in four starts this season. Acquired by the 76ers from Atlanta on July 23, 2003, in a four-team trade that also involved New York and Minnesota, Robinson boasts career averages of 21.1 points, 6.2 rebounds and 1.22 steals per game with three NBA teams (Milwaukee 1994-95 to 2001-02; Atlanta 2002-03; Philadelphia 2003-04).</div> Full Story
Willie isn't that big of a problem, we barely use him. I just fear for him, since it is his rookie season, and if he doesn't get enough minutes, he might want to move. Him moving would be terrible, as I see much potential in him.
Finally, this is really goin to help Iverson and the Sixers. He has a good jumpshot and if he gets hot late in the games with AI, they won't loose much. I've been waitin to see how the sixers play with him all sason but the Sixers are always stuck with the Injury Bug... hopefully he stays healthy.

You bet it does. But think about it, if our team played great against the fresh Detroit Pistons, and now Glenn is back, we are positive for a win against Denver. Everyone just has to put the effort up they did last night.
The game against Detroit was lucky, their other players besides Chauncey didn't play all too well. Teams have bad nights, and they did.

Detroit should have taken advantage of our short handed team. Still their gameplay chose not to and we got the win.
Detroit is a better team then we are, let's face it. Defensively they are a monster team, I remember one game Allen was blocked 6 times by Ben. Though they don't quite have superstar type players, by this I mean, just one player that stands out, as the Sixers and Magic do, they have a whole team of key players. Chauncey, and Rip can easily get around 22-23 ppg every night. That's what seperates them from us, they have a second scoring option, and a defensive monster inside. We have tried to give Allen a second scoring option, but most of the time it hasn't worked. The reason why is, there is too many ego's floating around. We had players that were going to become superstars, and they didn't want to be a second option. Now we have someone who doesn't need all the attention and has stated that this is "Allen's team," and that he is there just to help. I like that kind of attitude, and I think Glenn will be a great fit.
