    Dogbelly,

    How many teams have a true center nowadays? You can probably count them on one hand.

    Also Carlos didnt play because he had an asthma attack before the game.

    I said this once, now I say it again.. 3 games in a row.. carry on like this and I fear Dream might not be with us next season. He has game left in those legs of his.
    But hell, we're going to get CWebb aren't we..?

    "The difference is you're involved. You don't have to be trying something out of character. I feel like I can make a contribution. I feel like I can help. We worked it out with communication. Now, the coach can call on me in the fourth quarter and have confidence when I go in the game."

    Novel freaking idea Rudy...play Dream in the 4th??

    Oh damn. You win. I don't think I've ever seen him dribble. [​IMG]

    When did ramadan end? Maybe Dream is just gaining strength with ramadan over...Anyone know when that ended? Has it been a while already?

    Thanks, sirhangover

    hmmmmmm...there goes that theory then. I knew someone who worked in Benin (country next door to Nigeria) who said during Ramadan people would be in sort of an aggitated mood during the day and then be really nice after the sun went down and they could eat. Thought maybe Dream was going through that and then became more powerful because Ramadan ended. hmmm...now, I have no theories about his sudden Clark Kent to Superman act...Whatever it is, Wheaties or whatever, I hope he keeps it going...

    dogbelly, not saying i believe everything i read necessarily but it sounds like i'm not the only one who thinks ratliff is okay on D. From one of those espn.com morons (that's not a joke either the guys are morons; take the following with a grain of salt, if you like):

    With Theo Ratliff out for the next six weeks, if not lot longer, due to a stress fracture of the right wrist that yet may require surgery, it's going to be practically impossible for the Sixers to keep winning at their current pace. So much of their success has started at the defensive end, Ratliff's loss could even wind up costing them the top seeding in the East.

    Behind Ratliff, the Sixers have the fifth-best defense, allowing only 89.6 ppg and 42 percent shooting. They also boast the fifth-best block average.

    You just can't underestimate Ratliff's loss.

    "It's like a nightmare," Allen Iverson said before winning his MVP award Sunday. "I thought it was a nightmare when I first heard about it. But when I saw him with the cast, it wasn't a nightmare. It was a reality."

    The harsh reality is that without Ratliff, the Sixers don't have the league's top shot-blocker anymore. Ratliff was on his way to winning Defensive Player of the Year honors, at least on this scorecard, with his 187 blocks, going into the Sixers' game Tuesday in Milwaukee. His total was only eight fewer than the entire team totals of New York and Miami.
