The 76ers' locker room at the Wachovia Center was emptier than usual tonight when media members were allowed in before the game, and the customary glimpse toward the far left corner of the room bore that out.

Allen Iverson no longer had a locker.

Iverson's nameplate above the space had been removed. The hangers were empty. No sneakers could be found anywhere. The only sign that someone once had occupied that locker was a lone white bathrobe hanging up.

If you had any question the Allen Iverson era had ended in Philadelphia, this confirmed it.

In the long run you guys are better off. The guy is definitely overrated -- he couldn't get his team into the playoffs even in the eastern conference. Better to start from scratch, and maybe Philly will either get a good replacement or get rid of some bloated contract.

There's some talk of the Warriors trading for him -- I hope not! :o

I still sense a strong sense of not-so-latent pussiness about this team.

Last night's loss to the Jazz just about proves that. They've come out lately with what seems to be no sense of purpose. I hope they reverse that trend soon; it'd be a waste of coaching staff and players if they don't.
