With the team really battling right now the question remains how Allen Iverson's return will not only change the results on the court but how Iverson will fit in with the team. The Sixers have one more game without Iverson in the lineup. Iverson's first game back in a Sixers uniform is set for Monday night against Denver.

The Iverson situation is fun to watch for a casual fan like me. But it will not hide the obvious flaws of the Sixers. They are not a good team right now but as I allude to in the title of this post, at least they are not the New Jersey Nets. Last night the Nets set an NBA record with their 18th straight loss to start the season. The Nets are creeping up on the Baltimore Orioles and their infamous 0-21 start.
