With :21.9 left on the clock, in OT, the Sixers had possession... (Dallas had blown the chance to score and turned it over). Ball in from Iverson to Snow, back to Iverson... blah, blah to Snow, to McKie for the win... Clank!! Double OT.
BTW - rumors all week not just about trades, but about Nellie getting canned for this teams lack of killer instinct. I'll update in a bit.
7.2 seconds left, Finley at the line ahead by 2 124-122 Misses first... makes second... Snow chunks a bad shot (airrrrrrrrrball) Timeout Mavs. Mavs'll win, up by two, with ball, 2.4 seconds left.
Iverson, another brick-fest 10-27. Robinson was shooting so well, but Iverson STILL had to take most of the shots. He'll never learn.
Iverson's overrated. Give any good scorer that many shot attempts and they'll average almost 30 a night too. Even worse is he's an egotistical cry baby.
Only 6 turnovers for the Mavs, including only 1 each for Walker and Nash, the main ballhandlers. Pretty amazing. Yet they barely pull it out.
Damn, that was an entertaining game! I was pulling for the Sixers, but you just knew they would lose with the poor execution in the overtime periods. Dallas knew that Dirk was their man, so they gave it to him and let him take care of business. Philly didn't know what they were doing most of the time. It's a shame that Iverson shoots such a low percentage. Everybody talks about his quickness getting to the basket, but he really has one of the sweetest, most underrated jumpers in the league. The problem is that they isolate him so much that he usually has somebody six inches taller than him with a hand in his face. If they ran him off some screens along the baseline, he could hit 15 foot jumpers all night long.
Really, AI and SF have a similar style of play. that was a very entertaining game. A lot could be learned from that tape. The fourth TO wasn't until well into the OT
That was a pretty fun game to watch. Props to Kyle Korver, his 5 three's kept the sixers in that game. The man can shoot. Too bad he fouled out early... they could have used his 3pt shooting in the last overtime. Why was he guarding Nowitzki anyway? Should have put Dalembert on him.
exactly, the guy isn't a bad shooter. when he's got some space or has completely faked his man out, it's a pretty good bet it's going in. he's not ray allen or anything, but he's good. but when he has to go against bigger people or double teams and stuff his % goes way down. part of it is because that's how philly runs the O and part is b/c that's how iverson wants the O run. but he's still the engine that makes their offense go.
