Trying to stop the Nuggets from a last second score will be difficult.
Who do you double team?

I'm not sure that Carmelo & Allen are the most compatible scorers -
but I suspect next year K-mart will fit in nicely with Iverson's game.

Still, right now we are a team with big men. But our defensive
strength is Marcus. Sure, Allen can steal the ball - but to get past
the first round of the playoffs we need a half-court defense - which
means good play by the big men.

The 76ers need Joe Smith's salary if they deal with the Nuggets. The
Nuggets will also need to get rid of Nene's salary and potential to
make a deal. Those are two big bodies. We need to keep Canby.

Something like that but I am thinking the entire game

Well I am not an expert in basketball but I just figured if you have 2
scoring threats it would make it harder to defend. I am still trying to
figure out what the paint is and what they mean by a pick

I agree with keeping Camby. Nuggets lost another one where Carmelo
shot well but not well enough. He got 42 points but missed some free
throws that would have been enough to put Denver ahead. very depressing
