Sixers Look Sharp in the Preseason
With the season just a few weeks away, the Sixers are right in the middle of their preseason and look to be in great shape. Pretty much nobody thinks preseason wins and losses matter but it’s still cool to point out that the Sixers are 4-0 right now (good enough for 2nd in the NBA). They have been beating teams solidly and average over 94 points per game. They still aren’t getting much love from ESPN because in their latest NBA power rankings, the Sixers are 17th.
Brand, Young and the rest of the starters have been putting up good numbers so far. The only starter who’s been consistently NOT scoring is Dalembert. He’s been having a tough time getting points and only recorded over 7 rebounds once.
Some of the questions going into the season surround Elton Brand and Lou Williams. People are wondering if Elton Brand can be as dominant as he was 3 seasons ago before his injuries. They are also wondering how Lou Williams will handle the starting point job roll. After these 4 games, everything looks fine with these players. Elton Brand came up big with a buzzer beater against the Nets and Lou Williams has been keeping his turnovers down and his field goal percentage up. These are all good signs for this team.
In the midst of great years by the Phillies, Eagles and Flyers don’t forget to watch our Sixers. Tune into opening night October 28th at Orlando. What are your expectations going into this season?
