Last night aside, the Sixers had been on fire lately, especially defensively this month. They're still on track to at least challenge for a playoff spot, and are one of 9 teams in the East actually capable of making the playoffs (I think 6 teams -- Cleveland, Detroit, Washington, Charlotte, New Jersey and Toronto -- are basically done). that's good that they're playing defense, because last year i'm pretty sure they sucked at it. evan turner has kind of been a bum this year, which isn't good since we drafted him #2 overall. i'm just hoping he ends up being a productive player rather than a complete bust. so far he hasn't shown much ability to create his own shot, which is a bad problem for a supposedly athletic guard. That's surprising, given must of OSU offense last season was Turner one on one.
