November 2009
The Mavericks are more talented than the Sixers, they have a better coach, they have a better owner, they have fans who show up for games. They have porn-star hair, future hall-of-famers, cool nicknames like "Matrix, "Jet" and "Dumpier." They haven't played a game since Saturday and they're playing in the comfort of their own arena. The Sixers, on the other hand, are playing the ass-end of a back-to-back and none of their players was recently engaged to a deranged grifter, so they've got that going for them.

News is breaking all over the place about a 2-hour meeting between Ed Stefanski, Eddie Jordan and Iverson and his crew earlier today. You all know how I feel, I know how most of you feel. I'm going to wait until it's official to lose my head over this. Right now, the Vegas moneyline is at -$800 in favor of Iverson suiting up for the Sixers sooner rather than later. I will say I'm extremely proud that readers here were pretty much the only polled group not in favor of bringing Iverson back. Check out the landslide at The 700 Level. Preview for tonight's game will land in an hour or so.

As I said last night, I'm cutting the Eddie Jordan grace period off early. His rotations infuriate me, his comments have my systolic skyrocketing, his logic is anything but logical. I was unhappy when he took the job, but I gave him the benefit of the doubt. From this point forward I won't be hedging my criticisms with "give it time" or "yet" disclaimers. I've seen enough to form an informed opinion of his coaching style, skills and approach, now he's going to have to actually do something to change my mind. Tonight will be his first opportunity to surprise me.

Mark this date, November 29th, on your calendars. It was the first time Willie Green was inserted into the starting lineup. It was the first time Eddie Jordan started a small lineup. It was the first time the Sixers played a small lineup for the entire game and it was officially the day that Eddie Jordan's grace period ended for me. In no world, no matter how many injuries you have on your roster, should Willie Green ever be on the floor for 38 minutes.

Allen Iverson has dominated by Sixers bandwidth for the past 36 hours or so, tonight's game against the Spurs will absolutely be a welcome distraction. Preview after the jump.

When I penned my initial reaction to the Allen Iverson rumor late last night, there were two things I took somewhat for granted. Number one was that Stephen A. Smith is completely unreliable. Number two was that educated fans would see pretty quickly that Iverson was not a good fit for this franchise. Well, a day later it looks Smith was probably on to something and the vast majority of fans see things differently than I do, so after the jump I'll go into some more detail.
