Iverson has been there done that he needs to be number one option if he isnt firing he needs to looking for his teammates especially Anthony and secondly Camby(he needs to be better utilised).

PS - I cant watch you game tommorrow vs Suns

Lakers v Rockets

Important game for us tomorow, I think we will win, because we play pretty well on the road, and Suns will be playing back-to-back. It will be a good mtach.

They need to move him back at point, and start Kleiza or Smith. I like Blake, but AI has just been functioning better there as of late.

Yep. Karl needs to challenge Iverson with his ball-care skills, but his strength is being on the ball and breaking defenses down. He is too unreliable a shooter to depend be forced into that role night in and night out. I would still rather see him closer to 17 shots a night than 20. His shots may not always fall but his quickness and playmaking ability isn't going away anytime soon. That's the role he needs to fill.

Well, he's unreliable right now because he has a right elbow injury. Other than that, though, he's shot very well since comming here. I don't see a problem with 17-20 shots a night. The problem is more that him at SG while Carmelo is at SF limits their productivity. You put AI at SG while carmelo is out, because when their together, running AI at point gives them a better opportunity to work for, and off each other, which draws the defense into them, and gives their teammates open looks.

Playing them at SG and SF puts them on opposite ends of the court, which stagnates the offense.

Also, putting AI at point solves the defensive issues that running him and blake together presents.

The crazy thing about Iverson, all these people are amazed that he hasn't lost a step, but he has. He's sooo much slower than he was about 3-4 years ago.

What's really amazing is that he's a 6 foot slasher who's slowed down at 30 like everybody said he would... and then he kept getting better.

the ai we traded for is an absolute monster. doesnt take a step back and gives 100% all night long. stuff wade falling 7 times and getting up 8, he just ends up in a wheelchair. ai is the real man for hitting the floor plays

AI is nowhere near as fast as his early years. I couldn't believe how amazingly agile and quick he was.

But I have to say...I love this AI just as much!

I knew AI would drop assists and give Carmelo more scoring. I predicted 8 assists per night at least. AI isn't selfish like everyone thought.

Which makes it amazing that he's a better player now.
