This is just woeful. I know it's early, but the Sixers' 9-73 record stands a good chance of becoming the second worst record in the NBA history if things don't change. So much for Doc's firing making a difference.

The NBA Record for consecutive losses during one season:

23 Vancouver (2/16/96 - 4/2/96)
23 Denver (12/19/97 - 1/23/98)

Most consecutive games lost total during any period of regular season play (over two seasons)
24 Cleveland (3/19/82 - 11/5/82)
(last 19 gms - 1981-82; first 5 gms - 1982-83)

Orlando just 5 short of the single season and 6 short of the worst ever.

Cleveland (33) has a shot at these records:

Most consecutive road games lost:
43 Sacramento (11/21/90 - 11/22/91)
(37 gms in 1990-91; 6 gms in 1991-92)

Most consecutive road games lost, start of season
29 Dallas (11/10/92 - 3/13/93)

thats why i think AI and Pierce are better than T-Mac, hes puttin up great numbers almost everygame, all in all a bit better than AIs and Pierces numbers (last season i mean :wink:

we all no AI is the best so far this season) but AI and The Truth are the real leaders, they have the ability to make everyone around them better instead of fallin into selfish plays when things are not the way theyre supposed to be

T-Mac is a great individual player, but AI is both a team and individual player. It may not seem so because he puts up a lot of shots but he inspires and leads his team without complaining at them, plus he trusts them

yes great quote :applaud:

..i'm sure T-Mac will be inspired by that :twisted:

and to add to Iverson is a team player thingy..he goes to the rim trying to draw fouls night in and night out at 6 feet tall...this will definatly inspire teamates

I think T-Mac should post up a little more, i mean ive seen a pic with him standing with TD in the USA uni's(it was an inside stuff mag) and if TD is 7 feet + then T-Mac is 6'10 6'11 lol
im serious.

But personally, i am very surprised the Magic have lost 18 in a row, adding Juwan Howard i thought would give a boost, Lue has been good ive thought, and Giricek is back i thought they were gonna win a bit more lol, i was wrong.

by **Dramacydal** on Sun Dec 07, 2003 3:29 am

nobody expected them to loose 18 straight games...it seemed like they had improved their roster and they still have t-mac, i cant explain how that could happen, im sure noone can...

AI aint a leader, man what are u talking about?! Ok, it's a well known fact he takes a lot of shots(maybe too many shots and not always well selected)but he is a heck of a passer too and at this time he is finally playing team ball, at least he was before robinson and jackson were injured, u tell me now, to who is he gonna pass that can make a jumpshot? He played great ball this season(the way brown would have wanted it)but the sixers got struck by the injury bug again.
And I havent even mentioned about AI's mentality/spirit, he's is a true warrior who never gives up, always plays injured and still can get about 30pts, which is confirmed by like any analyst, AI no leader huh :roll:

?!
I'm sorry man, i admit i'm an AI fan but this is a joke, i'd take him as a leader on my team anytime.

LOL

, where did you get that from?? Who in this thread even mentioned anything about AI not being a leader?? :lol:

Too good...we should also have that blue guy that cries/laughs/hits his hands on the floor emoticon...that would be the perfect occasion to use it!! :lol:
