The 2012-2013 season was loaded with possibilities for the Philadelphia
76ers. After defeating the #1 seeded Derrick Rose-less Bulls in the first round
of the playoffs last year, they brought the Celtics to seven games before being
knocked out. As a team without a conventional “star,” the Sixers surprised fans
by performing well with a solid nucleus of players who were great defensively. They
could only get better from here, right?
