AI and the 76ers went home losers again. “It’s going to have to be one of the best games ever from us in order to win,” Allen Iverson said. They sure didn’t play one against Detroit. Rodney Stuckey scored 27 points and hit the winner with 8.7 seconds left to lead the injury-plagued Pistons to a 90-86 win over Philadelphia on Wednesday night, the 76ers’ 11th straight loss. New Jersey and Minnesota are the only teams with worse records than the Sixers. The Sixers haven’t won since Nov. 18 vs. Charlotte and they’ve lost by five or less points six times during the skid. Stuckey had the ball stripped by Andre Iguodala, but he grabbed the loose ball and tossed it in for the go-ahead basket with 1 second left on the shot clock. Iguodala went for the win, but his open 3-point attempt was no good. He scored 18 points. Pistons coach John Kuester said Stuckey was the right player to take the shot. “No question I want the ball in his hands,” he said. “You saw a lot of growth in a young man. I’ve been telling people about how good he can be. He can be one of the best guards in the league and he showed it tonight.” Iverson, once the best guard in the league, scored 11 points in his second game with the Sixers. He hit the tying jumper with 1:06 left that made it 86-all. Iverson is 0-5 this season — three losses with Memphis; two with the 76ers. Iverson missed seven of 10 shots from the floor and had three assists. “It’s going to get better,” Iverson said. “This is one of these times …

While watching a Uconn women’s game, there was a statistic on the tv screen about time “on the block” or something like that, and after a little web-surfing I noticed there are 2 small square blocks drawn right on the lines near the basket, about 3-4 feet away. What are the for? What obscure rules or stats are determined by them?

Wikipedia: “In basketball, a block (short for blocked shot) occurs when a defensive player legally deflects a shot from an offensive player. The defender must not touch the offensive player’s hands or otherwise a foul is called. In order to be legal, the block must occur while the shot is traveling upward. If it is heading downward when the defender hits it, it is ruled as goaltending and counts as a made basket. Goaltending is also called if the block is made after the ball bounces on the backboard (NCAA/NFHS excepted). Nicknames for blocked shots include “rejections,” “stuffs,” “swats,” and “denials.” Blocked shots were first officially recorded in the NBA during the 1973-74 season. Largely due to their height and position near the basket, centers and power forwards tend to record the most blocks. A blocked shot is considered to be one of the most exciting plays in basketball. A player with the ability to block shots can be a great asset to a team’s defense, as they can make it difficult for opposing players to shoot near the basket and by keeping the basketball in play, as opposed to swatting it out of bounds, a blocked shot can lead to a fast break, a skill Bill Russell was notable for. To be a good shot-blocker, a player needs great court sense and timing, and good height or jumping ability. A great shot-blocker can intimidate opponents to alter their shots, resulting in a miss. Some of the best shot-blockers in the NBA have been Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain …
