    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Sixers leading scorer Allen Iverson is expected to return to the court after sitting out the past two games with a right index finger sprain.

    "It's sore, and I do think I'll be able to play, but I expected that," said Iverson after the Sixers practice on Thursday. "I wanted to come in here and hopefully get hit on it and see how it responded, but I didn't get hit on it at all. So that might be a good thing." </div>

    Full Story.

    He's virtually the only reason the Sixers ever come close to succeed in anything. But man his shot's gone....

    WOW. I was out tonight but I saw the final minutes of the game and WOW. That's all I can say. If there was any way for them to win tonight, that sure was hell was it.

    I didn't see it but I read the recap and it seemed as if they barely won. They are out of the play off picture now? Damn.. we gotta start rackin up more wins, and play better in the 4th Q.

    Seems as if AI did pretty good, 46 mins, 10-23 and 31 points...not bad.

    Philly has to win without Iverson. Sure, that's something that's hard as hell to do, but AI is human like everyone else and every once and a while he might be injured. The Sixers have to learn to play well without him if they want to make the playoffs this season. They will be contending with a Knicks team who has seemed to be pretty consistent since the Marbury trade. Glad AI could come back tonight though, good win for the Sixers.

    Aaron McKie hit the game winning shot with 7 seconds left. Then out of a timeout, Baron Davis shot it and it didn't go in and Sammy Dalembert got the huge rebound with 1 second left. It was an emotional win. The whole bench was up and yelling (which I RARELY see). It was just a great team win.
