Sixers Will Win __ Games This Year
The Sixers top management (Stefanski, DiLeo, Jordan and even Aaron McKie) have officially met with Allen Iverson in Dallas to talk about a possible comeback. As of now, nothing is official and this team seems to be in shambles. They lost 8 of their last 9 and have a record of 5-12. The only thing keeping them out of last place in the division are the horrible Knicks and Nets- but the Knicks are catching up to them with 3 wins.
Today’s “Fill it in” question is how many games do you think the Sixers will win this season WITH THE ROSTER THEY HAVE RIGHT NOW? Don’t take into account the thought of them signing Iverson or going after other free agents or trades. This question is in regards to their current roster. If they kept this team in tact all season, what would their final record be?
Our Opinion: 32. With the team they have now, they will finish with a 32-50 record and miss the playoffs. If you think this is too many wins to predict, here’s the reasoning: the past few seasons they’ve started cold like this year and gotten hot in the second half. I think for the duration of these big injuries to Lou Williams (17.4 ppg) and Marreese Speights (13 ppg/6.4 rpg) they’ll have trouble winning more than 2 games in a row. If they don’t bring in someone like Iverson or start playing 100% for an entire game, we will keep seeing this losing trend.
Once those 2 come back and if the rest of the team stays healthy, the Sixers will pick it up a bit in the second half of the year but it will be far late and not enough to get close to the playoffs.
How many wins do you predict for the Sixers this season?
