Mo's Take

Just finished with the 76ers Media Luncheon at the Wachovia Center. Head coach Maurice Cheeks talked about all things Sixers. The thing about this year's team -- and you can even pick up the vibe at events like this -- is the level of excitement about what the Sixers might become this season. I wasn't at last year's media luncheon, but someone sitting near me who was remarked that the energy had done a 180-degree switch.

I wanted to get Mo's thoughts up here on Deep Sixer ASAP.

Topic: How does last year's success, the run to the playoffs, help this team?

Cheeks: "The way we played toward the end of last year, we need to carry it over. Not to let it be that year and be done, but carry it over."
