唔好彩嘅話。。。。。。

欺凌、衣櫃、出賣/拒絕自己；最壞，死刑。

再唔係，成為不文明、不進步的一部分。而不自知。

PHILADELPHIA (Ticker) -- The only title Jerry Stackhouse has
been chasing since leaving Philadelphia is the scoring title.

Stackhouse scored 34 points but former teammate Allen Iverson
poured in 44 as the league-leading Philadelphia 76ers continued
their ascension at the Detroit Pistons' expense, cruising to a
105-89 rout.

After completing a franchise-record 12-game road winning streak
with an 85-84 overtime triumph at Houston on Wednesday, the
Sixers had little trouble carrying their success back to the
First Union Center.

Iverson and Stackhouse each had 13 points in the first quarter,
when Philadelphia took the lead for good, 25-21. Armed with a
better supporting cast, Iverson dictated the pace thereafter,
scoring 10 points in the second period as Philadelphia opened a
58-41 halftime lead.

"We're 33-10, 10, but next day we could be 33-11, then (33-12)
and so on," Iverson said. "We don't want that. We're going to
play every game like it's our last. We want to take it one game
at a time so that something special will happen at the end of
the season."

Stackhouse was traded to Detroit on December 18, 1997 for guard
Aaron McKie and center Theo Ratliff -- both of whom have played
significant roles in Philadelphia's rise to the top of the NBA
standings.

Stackhouse entered the contest with a league-leading 29.9-point
scoring average, but the Pistons have lost 10 of their last 11
and are 12 games behind first-place Milwaukee in the Central
Division.

He helped Detroit get within four points late in the third
quarter, but Iverson closed the period by drilling an 18-footer
and made four free throws before feeding Todd MacCulloch for a
layup that extended the advantage to 81-70 with 8:34 to play.

"The shots just didn't fall for us," Stackhouse said. "From
there, they made their shots and got it back up to 10. We were
never able to recover from that. We're hoping at some point we
can catch a break. If we put forth the same effort in the first
half that we had in the second half, it might have been a
different game."

Iverson has scored at least 30 points in seven of his last nine
games and has cracked 40 on eight occasions. Philadelphia is
15-2 since dropping back-to-back games on December 20-22 and
improved to 14-6 at home. The Sixers own the NBA's best road
mark at 19-4.

"We have come out and had letdowns at home based on the way
we've played on the road," Philadelphia coach Larry Brown said.
"For the most part, everybody realizes that we have to play the
right way in order to be successful and win. We're fortunate, we
are truly a team."

Philadelphia has taken seven of the last nine meetings in the
series.

George Lynch had 14 points and 13 rebounds and Ratliff and McKie
combined for 25 points as the Sixers moved seven games ahead of
second-place New York in the Atlantic Division. At 33-10,
Philadelphia is two games ahead of Western Conference-leading
Portland for the NBA's best overall mark.

Iverson made 14-of-29 shots, 15-of-16 free throws and picked up
five steals in 47 spectacular minutes. Stackhouse hit 12-of-32
shots and was 8-of-12 at the line. He grabbed seven rebounds to
go with five assists but also committed half of the Pistons' 12
turnovers.

Joe Smith had 15 points and 11 rebounds and Chucky Atkins scored
11 points for Detroit, which shot 38 percent (32-of-85) and lost
the battle on the boards, 49-42.

"It's hard to beat Philly when you shoot 37 percent," Detroit
coach George Irvine said. "We gave them so many easy baskets in
the first half and they manhandled us on the boards. When you
shoot like we did tonight, I don't think you're gonna beat
Philadelphia very often."

The Sixers shot 49 percent (41-of-84) and also committed 12
turnovers.

Iverson hit two free throws, a 15-footer, a 17-footer and a
layup that closed the first-half scoring, giving Philadelphia a
58-41 cushion.

Stackhouse began shooting the Pistons back into contention early
in the third quarter, hitting a 20-footer and following with a
19-footer that shaved the deficit to 60-52 with 8:49 left in the
period.

Smith converted a three-point play and added two free throws as
Detroit closed to 71-67 with 22 seconds left in the third
quarter. But Iverson knocked down an 18-footer on the ensuing
trip and the Sixers pulled away in the final period.

Allen Iverson felt no satisfaction from knocking off the top team in the league, just added pressure.


Carmelo Anthony scored 29 points, Iverson added 28 and the Denver Nuggets spoiled the return of Kevin Garnett, holding on for a 124-118 victory over the Boston Celtics on Tuesday night.

"Winning this game puts a lot of pressure on us, because if you can beat a team like this, then you can beat all the other teams," Iverson said. "We have enough talent to scare some people, but we just have to bring it night in and night out."

The Nuggets even beat the Celtics at full strength -- kind of. Garnett, who's been out since Jan. 25 with a strained abdominal muscle, wasn't his flashy self, finishing with four points on 2-of-7 shooting in close to 21 minutes of action. He also had eight rebounds.

"It was good to get back," said Garnett, who planned to play Wednesday night at Golden State. "It felt good."

His coach didn't mince words when asked about his star's performance.

"Not very good," said Rivers, whose team was 16-0 against the Western Conference before the loss. "But you have to expect that when he sits out that long. He was rusty."

Garnett would agree with the assessment. He felt a little winded, but chalked it up to the Mile High City.

"It feels like I've been out for a couple of years," he said. "There wasn't a lot of air out there."

His legs, though, felt rejuvenated. The nine-game break did him wonders.

"I felt like I was 27," Garnett said. "I felt young."

Garnett came in averaging 19.2 points and 9.9 rebounds this season, and anchoring a Celtics defense that's allowing an NBA-low 89.4 points per game.

However, the Nuggets dictated the pace of play, scoring the most points against the Celtics this season. The previous high was 114 points scored by Toronto and Cleveland.

"We didn't want to get into an offensive shootout," Rivers said. "We did that and still had a chance to win."

Paul Pierce scored 24 points and Rajon Rondo added 22. Ray Allen, fresh off his 28-point performance at Sunday's All-Star Game, scored 14 of his 20 points in the first quarter. He went 2-for-10 after the opening 12 minutes.

But Allen almost helped bring the Celtics back. He cut the lead to 121-118 on a 3-pointer with 13 seconds remaining when Anthony jumped up to grab his shot that was short of the rim. However, Anthony was called for goaltending. And although the Nuggets held on, Nuggets coach George Karl was upset about the call.

"Wow," Karl said. "He [referee Bennie Adams] likes making big calls and bad calls at the end of the game. How can you call goaltending when the ball is halfway below the rim?"

Anthony didn't understand the call, either.

"I could have stood right under the basket and not even jump and it would have fell right into my hands," Anthony said.

The Nuggets can't complain too much about the officiating -- they were sent to the line a season-high 49 times, hitting 34 of them. The Celtics were 19 of 28 from the free throw line.

"We got a good whistle," Karl said.

Now, he's hoping that with this win comes a little more respect.

"I think the team deserves better acceptance for what it's done," Karl said.

Not that Iverson is putting much stock in one game.

"I don't look at it as we beat the best team in the league, a win is a win," Iverson said. "Obviously, we can compete with anybody. No one seems to know how much talent we have."

Game notes
The Suns and Nuggets will play an outdoor game in Indian Wells, Calif., during the 2008-09 preseason. Camby said he may have to work on his jumper to make it more aerodynamic. "I have a high release -- it's probably not too good outdoors," he said. ... Celtics F Brian Scalabrine was out with a strained right groin. ... Denver is 22-6 at the Pepsi Center this season. ... Boston F Leon Powe had 13 points and tied a season high with 11 rebounds. ... The Nuggets had 19,894 fans in attendance, the largest regular season crowd in franchise history.
