We are already through a quarter of basketball, and the Philadelphia 76ers are at that point of the season again—trade rumors, coaching hot-seats and next season’s future. With the hiring of Jerry Colangelo, now the chairman of basketball operations in Phily, some predict changes to the franchise.
But there’s still basketball to be played, and the Sixers tip off against the Atlanta Hawks tonight 7:00 p.m. ET.
This is the first bout between the two Eastern Conference teams. The Hawks will enter the game at 14-12, and if the playoffs started today, they would be on the outside looking in.
