The torches and pitchforks have been carefully laid to the side of the road, as the Philadelphia 76ers prevailed in what felt like a must-win situation Wednesday night against the Brooklyn Nets. Now, the Sixers retake the Wells Fargo Center floor Friday night for yet another nationally-televised game (I wonder what the ESPN folks got up to the last couple days in Philadelphia).
There are a few reasons to believe the Sixers should find success in their first of three meetings this season against the Chicago Bulls. First, the game takes place in Philadelphia, where the Sixers transform into a combination of the 2015-16 Warriors and Maximus Decimus Meridius (currently 19-2 at home).
