Thanks Allen, For The Dream
June 15 - The Sixers, on the edge of the cliff, faced their elimination game today. It was their final game in the City of Brotherly Love and it was either win, go off to summer vacation. The Sixers seemed alive in the first quarter leading by 3. But, the Lakers were too dominating with Shaq. Geiger fouled out, then Mutombo. Iverson played with bruised ribs when he collided with Kobe during the game. But, he played with all the heart he had left in him, scoring 37 points of 14-for-32 shooting. The Sixers went as far as they could on heart and determination. In the end, they were overmatched by the Lakers. Stay tuned for a Finals 2001 special here at The Answer Online.

Still No Answer
June 13- Facing adversity once again in a must-win situation, the Sixers still found no answer to the dominating Lakers. The NBA's MVP and scoring champion scored 35 points on 12-of-30 shooting and the Philadelphia 76ers lost 100-86 to the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 4 of the NBA Finals. Despite being down 3-1, I still believe the Sixers will win. They got too much heart to give up. They will win Game 5.

Sixers Fall Short
June 10- Sixers could not win on their homecourt today has they fall short 96 to 91. Iverson scored 35, but it wasn't enough has the Lakers kept their poise till the final minutes of the game. Game 4 is on Wednesday.

No Answer For Game 2
June 8 - Sixers could not repeat their Game 1 performance as Lakers face their first must-win situation. Iverson scored only 23 and was 0 for 4 from the free throw line. He went to the line especially rarely, despite shooting 29. However, Sixers never gave up even with a tough run by the Lakers. At the end of the fourth, Allen was firing up his team, but Kobe started to trash talk. They both exchanged words as they were separated by the refs. The next three games will be in Philly. Next game on Sunday.

The game is taken to overtime, where AI rises above the ocassion and drops a big 3 to seal the deal. Iverson lead all scorers with 48 as the Sixers derail the Lakers 107-101. Game 2 is Friday night.

Sixers Are Going To Hollywood

Iverson was back to his old self again scoring 44 as the Sixers clinch East Finals 108-91. Iverson and Sixers will be going to Hollywood to face the World Champion Lakers on Wednesday.

Cheap Shot
June 2 - As the series continued, I began really resenting the Bucks. They constantly whine about something, whether it's the calls, or Philly's defense. The never seem to admit a loss, it's always "We knew we could've beat them" bullshit. Iverson has taken a lot of crap from Milwaukee: from the vicious elbow he took from Ray Allen to this, Scott Williams deliberate flagrant looking to injure. Here's a video from last night's game where big bad Scott elbows Iverson in the throat. 948k avi

We Still Got Heart
June 1 - It was the survival game for the Bucks, and the Sixers just couldn't match their intensity tonight. Ray Allen threw treys like crazy connecting 9 of 13. Allen got socked hard by Scott Williams, but luckily he was okay. Down by 30, Iverson went mad in the 4th scoring 26 in one quarter! His fiery was incredible, but the Bucks answered as Sixers couldn't pull it within single digits. Sixers lose to Bucks 110-100. The decisive game 7 will be on Sunday. God Bless the Sixers!
