His stats don't indicate his performance during the season. He limited the offensive touches of several other players GREATLY.

29 other teams would be very happy to see a Dalembert-Hunter starting front court for the Sixers.

Put another way, even Iverson couldn't score enough points each game to make up for 1) the lack of offensive production from those two and 2) the amount of points Hunter would give up each game

So did Mike James in Toronto last year, but we would have been worse if we did not have him. We now reloaded with T.J. Ford....I think Ford is a better replacement for James then Hunter would be for Webber.

Regardless of who starts, It would appear that the Sixers are headed for the Lottery!

Clueless. Explain how I am being hypothetical when I out facts?

Well, if they can defend well enough we won't need to score so much. The last Sixers team that went to the Finals had hardly any offensive minded players.

Well Hunter certainly won't.

This isnt the same NBA and I'm really tired of hearing that same old excuse. 2000-2001 was a good year to be a fan of this team, but honestly since then we have not duplicated that success and just about every team in the NBA has gotten better. That team in last years NBA wouldnt have came out the east. It was horribly weak. As a fan of the team, its been time to stop living and bringing up the past to justify the NOW.

The past does justify the now, to say it's IMPOSSIBLE to create a defensive team (Which you are stating Beez) is a lie. The Detroit Pistons did it, we could too. And the way you do it in today's NBA, is 2 signifcant shotblockers, which we have the capability of doing. The Spurs teams that won the 1999 and 2001 NBA titles had Duncan/Robinson/Bowen as their front-court, tell me that it can't get any better defensively.

The Spurs didn't win the 2001 NBA title, the Lakers did by beating the Sixers. When the Spurs won their first championship the starting front court featured Sean Elliott and not Bruce Bowen, in 1999 Bowen was on the Celtics.
