]]> After a second round playoff exit, The Sixers have their heads held high heading into the 2013 season, but should they? Although the Sixers have added some small parts that may help, I still don’t believe we have done everything possible to make this team better. I know that Evan Turner and Jrue Holiday are two very good young players who continue to get better, the resigning of Hawes, signing of Kwame Brown, and the fact that Iggy is still a Sixer are all reasons in why we are still a mediocre basketball team.

Looking at the 2013 schedule, i see a potential 42-45 win season with key games such as back-to-back games with the Knicks (Nov.4th and 5th), followed by a meeting with the Celtics in Boston just a few days after the Knicks. Other important/key games for the Sixers are against OKC(nov 24th), Chicago Bulls (Dec 1st, 12th, Feb 28th), In December, the Sixers will also play Boston twice, and the Lakers and Mavericks each once. January will probably be the toughest month for the Sixers as they will face the Lakers, Thunder, and the Knicks, on top of seeing the Spurs twice. Key games in February consist of the Clippers, Bulls, Knicks, the NBA champion Heat, and two meetings with the Magic. In March, we will see the Celtics, Magic,Hawks, Pacers and we will see the Heat twice. Finally, to close out the season, the Sixers will play the Heat, Pacers, and the Hawks. The Sixers have a pretty difficult 2012-13 season, but we will probably still see the usual 7-8th seed finish along with an early playoff exit. The only cool upgrade the Sixers really got this year, was more nationally televised games with 11!
What do you think about the schedule?

]]> The whole 2011-2012 season, Sixer fans have been waiting for the day that the Sixers would trade away Iguodala. He has great trade value, and he isn’t the “star” player that we are looking for. The problem now is, I feel as if the Olympics are going to interfere with him being traded. Not only would it be an awful time to trade him, but if he does good it may open up the eyes of our front office. Im worried that if Iggy has a good Olympic run, that we will be like, “Oh, he is awesome and we should definitely keep him!”
That should not in any way be the case. We can’t keep a guy based on his performances in a couple weeks play, over what he has done for the last few years. The Sixers can get such a better piece if we trade Iggy, especially if we throw in a mediocre player like Vucevic.

Now, the Sixers announced that Spencer Hawes would be starting as a PF, and Brown will be our starting C. This news just is death to my ears. Why in the world would the Sixers start not one, but two bad big men!? This is just berserk. Hopefully after 1 or 2 games into the season, Collins will see how bad of an idea that is. Also, I’m hoping that Ivey can become a key player of the bench, something he was not during his last stint with the Sixers. What do you think about Iggy’s trade possibilities? And about Brown and Hawes starting?
