| A bit of a disappointment last year, Evan Turner is slowly making his strides in his sophomore campaign. |
Close your eyes for a moment. Except don’t because I want you to keep reading. Let’s start this over.
I would like to describe to you a team. Not just any team, but a team that was more or less unimpressive throughout most of last season and in all reality has been just a blip on the radar screen since the 2003-‘04 season. A team that managed to squeak into the Eastern Conference Playoffs last year with the seventh seed only to become the first victim of the Miami Heat’s “Big 3.” Though in all fairness they played the Heat close and even managed to win one game. This is a team that has made no big offseason acquisitions. The last two important moves happened two years ago when they drafted the so far unimpressive Evan Turner with the 2nd pick and hired Doug Collins as their coach. This is a team that has no MVP candidates, players scoring over 20 points per game and most likely won’t feature any all-stars. This is a team that is currently leading the Atlantic Division with a 10-win and 4-loss record. This is your 2011-‘12 Philadelphia 76ers.
