Are the Sixers Legit Contenders? "Clap your hands, everybody. For Philadelphia. Seventy-Sixers. Stomp your feet, everybody. For Philadelphia. Seventy-Sixers. Here they come, Philadelphia. On the run, stand up and cheer. Number one, Philadelphia. Here they come, team of the year." Those opening lyrics to the Sixers old, but again new, theme song, "10, 9, 8 76ers," seem to have folks interested again. Following another big win Wednesday night over first-place Chicago, the Internet is buzzing over just how good the 2011-12 76ers are playing. The win moves the Sixers to 16-6, second place in the Eastern Conference. A small sampling of some of the comments:
ProBasketballTalk.com's Kevin Helin: "The 76ers are legit. That fast start wasn’t the soft schedule, they are a quality squad."
The20's @marclamonthill: "So NOW can y'all admit the Sixers are a quality team? We have the 2nd best record in the East & we just beat the team with the best record."
From CSNPhilly.com's John Finger: "If there ever was a victory that should make the NBA powerbrokers turn their heads and take notice of those Philadelphia 76ers, it most definitely was the 98-82 drubbing of the Bulls, Wednesday night."
The20's @meechone was short and sweet on Twitter: #DougCollins4CoachoftheYear"
We want to hear from you: Are the Sixers legit contenders?
