That's what I'm talkin bout![]()
The Sixers' finishing close games is essential to our success as a young upcoming team.

Obviously moves we make this summer will have an impact...

For the team to buy into that, and then it be a quality that is noticed (probably admired and feared) by opponents speaks well to what is being built. I'd imagine that if the Sixers do well that they wouldn't have to so much ask for some players to come here, but players with solid character and work ethics will come here on the strength of that reputation.

We have the second best record since the all star break and have beaten almost all the top teams in the league, yet no rankings I've seen have us breaking the top 10.
edit: Now that I think about it, maybe it's because the Sixers probably shouldn't be in the top 10 as those other teams up there are still better than the Sixers.

For a team like the SIxers, its better to be careful with your fan-expectations than to just jump out and proclaim a second coming of the greatest thing since sliced bread. Fans, and management, would do well to continue to just take things a bit at a time. Not looking at success as if it is something that should be shunned; but continuing to build a solid program that makes the success not to be a flash in teh pan (recent Chi. Bulls anyone?).
