Maurice Cheeks is tired of talking about Allen Iverson, and frustrated by the 76ers' longest losing streak in 10 years.

Yet, the coach is having a hard time faulting the players he has left. Even after they lost their 10th straight, 93-79 to the Mavericks on Friday night.

"I don't know how many games we've lost. ... I'm not even thinking about that," Cheeks insisted. "I like our effort. I thought our effort was great. If we keep getting that type of effort we've been getting, we'll be OK."

Already without Iverson, Philadelphia had to play without starting forward Chris Webber (sprained right ankle).
