That's what good friend* Bob Ryan said to me last night when I bumped into him in the press room at the Verizon Center. The question? "Mr. Ryan, do you think the Celtics are going to land Allen Iverson?"

Officially we are out of the running and Denver is now the lead team, but I honestly think the longer this thing is drawn out, the greater the chance The Answer is playing in Beantown very soon. We should know tomorrow, that's the first day that players drafted or signed over the summer are eligible to be traded.

The Wiz v. Nuggs game last night was a bit of a snoozer, but damn, 'Melo is pretty much unstoppable when his step back jumper is falling. And it was in the first half. He had 30 points midway through the 3rd quarter. And then, for some reason, they stopped passing it to him. I guess everyone wanted to go for theirs since they were down 18 by then.

*I wish.
