It was just over a year ago when the Sixers were eliminated from the second round of the playoffs by the eventual champs, the Raptors. It was not quite a year ago when we learned the Sixers would not be “running it back” as many fans hoped they would. Witnessing the Jurassic Park-themed Canadian team that barely beat Philly by one ridiculous bucket go on to win the title was surprisingly uplifting, however. Hey! We were right there. If only we had had some time to jell or a respectable bench!
Last year the Sixers as a team defended quite well.
