The Philadelphia 76ers are a much better basketball team this year than they were last year. In all reality, we shouldn’t be surprised at that, not one bit. When you replace players like Tony Wroten, JaKarr Sampson, and Kendall Marshall with Sergio Rodriguez, Gerald Henderson, and Jerryd Bayless, you’re bound to look more like a real basketball team.
The Sixers have been very close in a lot of games so far this season. Of course, there have been the few blowout losses that remind us that the Sixers still have a long ways to go, but in several games, the Sixers have been right there.
