wow. nothing like some optimism entering the new season. i think this is potentially our best team in 5 or 6 years. we can win as many as 43 games i think if things go well. i think i would rather stink altogether. at least we'd get a high pick. we are stuck here forever...go sixers. :(

Nothing but the truth
I'm predicting at least 62-20 and possible 75-7. This team is deep but I think that the NBA MVP will be decided between Brand and Iggy. I see Lou Williams, Young and Dalembert making their 1st All-Star game this year as starters. Holiday has rookie of the year potential but because this team is so deep he may not get much of a chance to play. Brand will lead the league in rebounding with 15 boards a game; Iggy will lead league in scoring with 35 points a game; Dalemebert will lead league in blocks with 6 blocks per game. This team looks awesome on paper and will play even better when they get on the floor.

Nothing but the Truth?? Should change your name to Blind Optimism. Unless of course you're being sarcastic, then I get it. I say this team goes 46-36. Igoudala will avg 21.3 pts, Lou Williams will avg 5.6 asst., Brand will avg. 8.1 rebs., and I think we're in for some kind of trade at some point in this season. East final 4: Cavs, Magic, Boston, & surprise 76ers. West final 4: Lakers, Spurs, Mavs, Blazers. League MVP- Dwyane Wade. Coach of the Year- Rick Carlisle.Rookie of The Year- Blake Griffin (if he doesn't kill himself). If Griffin gets hurt then Tyreke Evans.

Once again we will get out to a slow start still trying to figure things out. Eventually things will look better hopefully not to late though. Our best measurement will be against the Celtics they have dominated us in the past, I think we should do better with a more mature players. Jason Smith will be huge this season if he can be anywhere near where he was that will be a huge plus on where this team is heading. K-town was a big pick-up in the off season if he can relax and shoot make big shots for this penetrating happy team we could surprise the league. Rodney puts us over the top on versitility, can you imagine we may see a lineup with Rodney,Iggy,Lue,Spights and Young on the floor at the same time? That team would challange Bolt in a race. Last Elton Brand.....If he continues to work hard and gaines his confidence and swagger back he will be OK but that's a work in progress it will take time much time and much patience something I'm not sure Philly fans have. I look forward to another great season in the NBA this year. First up the Orlando Magic in Orlando.
