Allen Iverson’s Return To Philly (Twitter Play-By-Play)

We've done this before. I watch a game while I leave random thoughts on Twitter. In this one, we live-tweet Allen Iverson's return to Philadelphia. I take my favorite tweets from throughout the game and put 'em all here.

You want a regular recap? Here's ESPN. And I'm not ESPN. This is TNLP. Enjoy the tweets!

PRE-GAME

Really? Iggy gets the super-delayed last intro spot? Awkward. Still: Chills in CelticsHub HQ

Oh my gosh, the roar of the crowd for @alleniverson kinda makes me want to cry. The man kissed the floor. I love it.

1ST QUARTER
marcel_mutoni
Iverson takes a shot on the first Sixers possession. Shocker!

JRiley21
Probably won't be too popular for this tweet, but... AI cried and quit his way back to Philly. Why are we rooting for him again?

Perfectchaun
Iverson is nervous. I've never seen that.

stackmack
Perfect first two points for Iverson tonight.: Second chance bucket.

JonesOnTheNBA
I haven't watched much sixers ball this year, but Elton Brand looks terrible. I hope he can eventually bounce back.

Sarah_Boone
@TheNoLookPass is hotter then A.I. Right now

END OF 1ST QUARTER: PHILADELPHIA 26, DENVER 20.

2ND QUARTER
NBAtipoff
Breaking News: Nuggets cannot guard Andre Iguodala. Especially when he makes those really tough shots!

RossGeiger
@TheNoLookPass very well could, would be interesting statement, tell A.I. whose boss in Philly, things have changed!!! Iggy's the man

RapsFan
Iverson needs to go off soon...just sayin

BothTeamsPlayed
KMart will be fine to go. Kenyon only needs one finger.

ANDRE IGUODALA ARE YOU KIDDING ME? "nothing like the reverse jam in traffic" says the announcer.

ArtGarcia_NBA
A.I. came to play. Yeah that one. #sixers

Shaeness
shooting 31% fm the floor and only down by 5 hahahah

djjazzyjeff215
Bernard Hopkins...Donovan McNabb...Westbrook...its jumpin n here...the A.I.. Show

DYNASTYLA24
Andre is a bad ass under-bite and all. Still remember that 3 he hit to win it against us cuz Ariza didn't foul him.

Raps_fan
@AI9 with the full court shot...wow lol

HALFTIME: PHILADELPHIA 44, DENVER 41.

The Sixers' rim has to be glad that it's halftime. Not sure it could withstand another half of Iggy's dunks.

Sixers
Forgot to note earlier: Iverson remembered to say hi to stats legend/cosmic treasure Harvey Pollack before tip-off.

3RD QUARTER
R_thehoopsforum
Iverson is playing well he is really looking for his teammates

talkhoops
@cjrider @BothTeamsPlayed @LibertyBallers Ed Pinckney is really an abortion of an announcer.

onthewood
I don't think people realize that AI plays well when he has confidence that his teammates will convert on his passes, he's maturing folks.

thetillshow
Iggy is frustrating Melo. First time I've seen that....ever really

SportsfanPJ
I'll be honest the only reason I'm rooting for Allen Iverson to do well is because he's on my fantasy team lol.

cjrider
@Raps_fan You can have Kapono back now.

END OF 3RD QUARTER: PHILADELPHIA 65, DENVER 63.

4TH QUARTER
KiddMe2
@TheNoLookPass I really think Iverson in Philly is a win win for Iverson and for philly fans (from a fan oriented pov) and ur HOT ! haha

nbarocksstc
Nothing is falling for the Sixers right now, and on the other hand, the Nuggets are on fire.

Simply_Kateasa
okay, i went to clean up the kitchen, and Denver took the lead?

HILHolla
Jeezus, JR smith just shot that from 34th st.

Blacktigra93
Uhhhh why do they keep leaving J.R open like that?

tuffyr
@marcel_mutoni Elton Brand just sustained a second degree paper cut and will be out 4-6 weeks.

AndreHoops
Near the end of Pulp Fiction, when Travolta tells Winston Wolf "it was a pleasure watching u work." I feel that way with Chauncey Billups.

FINAL: DENVER BEATS PHILADELPHIA, 93-83.

POSTGAME

russbengtson
Allen Iverson should give up No. 3 out of respect for Allen Iverson.

allthingsphilly
That was the most exciting 10th straight loss I've ever watched. #Sixers

vincecathomas
Why'd you do that to A.I., Chauncey? Ice cold man.

Follow all of these names on Twitter but don't forget to follow me, @TheNoLookPass.
