Seeking Wins, and Answers

The trip itself will carry the team to the end of December. During the four game excursion, the Philadelphia 76ers will face the Phoenix Suns, Sacramento Kings, Utah Jazz, and Denver Nuggets. Combined, the teams boast at 50 Win 67 Loss record.  Remove the Jazz, and that falls to 32 wins and 55 Losses.

More from The Sixer Sense

While no single game is a sure win for this Philadelphia 76ers team, the team could return home with a two win two loss trip and raise only a few eyebrows. With nearly equitable competition, it will be a great test of how the team handles business.

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel

What will Nerlens Noel do while he awaits his turn? Why, he will do what any professional athlete does after significant time off. He will train, study, and prepare for his moment.

Noel is not the only player on the Philadelphia 76ers trying to define the right niche. But the center is finally beginning to appear to see the light now. Not only is that a good thing for the team, but for his future as well.
